What is the point of this thing?

It starts off like this:

After you touch the thing it does this:

I don't get it. What's the point of that??

It says it's a forcefield but I can't get inside it so it seems pretty useless. Even tried jumping on top of it initially and it just lifts me up which only makes me a better target.

There is not one. At least not for gametypes OUTSIDE of unreal single player, where it is supposed to be a "pawn blocker" for a short time.
The only pickup from Unreal 1 which really can be used at all, is the scuba gear (AS-OceanFloor). Everything else is useless since it gets activated right after picking up.

BTW: This is the Force Field.

What I want to do next: Joining an UDK team (uncertain however) and improve 3D modelling and texture editing skills
Thanks to those who visibly supported me until/at the end!
