I wholeheartedly agree with the most points above (is that a dev's point of view? is it fianl or official?) except for a couple points.
1)The Crylink
It looks like the (in)famous Flak Cannon. Here's what I'd change:
a)Remove secondary as it is now
b)Make the "low spread mode" the secondary mode.
c)Change the model a bit to look more like a flak type of weapon
d)Reflect the difference between spread modes in the model, namely, have a kind of "shutter" (see point c)) that would control the flow of the particles. Open the shutter more for the close range (primary mode) shots and less for the secondary mode shots.
2)The Electro
There was an amazing idea to make a lightning gun of it.
a)Similar to the Q3A Lightning in primary mode.
b)Could home the light ray a bit on the target (follow the target like the Link Gun in UT3 does in certain fire modes.)
c)Possibly limit the effective distance.
d)Secondary fire mode (if any) could look like this:
--d.1)Slow recharging hitscan splash damage electric blast
--d.2)(Crazy idea) Point, hold down the RMB, the power of the blast depends on the charge time. Max 3-5 seconds. (?)
What do you think?
I sincerely hope this does *not* get lost in the (seemingly absurd
) traffic of this forum.

P.S. Please, share your opinion on this proposal. Devs especially welcome. I'm saying this because for some unknown reason most of my posts on *any* forum get ignored (fatality???). Thank you.
