By Artillery, do you mean a weapon the player fires which arcs over a long distance and explodes powerfully? Or do you mean designating a target and having artillery fire shower the area with projectiles like in World at War and Black Ops?

If its the latter, you could simply check the designated point to see if it is within view of the sky, I think pointcontents might be useful here, and if so you could from that spot in the sky, spawn an entity which faces the target position, and spawns rockets randomly offset from its origins, to get that nice scatter effect, which removes itself after a certain amount of time.

For the weapon the player holds, and this like the previous example is off the top of my head and might be very wrong, you basically just need a weapon launching a MOVETYPE_BOUNCE projectile which is set to explode on contact with anything and give it a high velocity.

Look at W_FireGrenade() and GrenadeTouch() in weapons.qc for some ideas.
