OK screwed around with the git again, still not feeling it but you've made some progress. In particular the laser beats the hell out of the one in my file. I can see the nex being a nightmare though given that I can charge a shot with it, follow up with a combo and pretty much be guaranteed a kill (provided I didn't already get one with the initial combo) with almost other gunshot after that. The lightning gun function is still a bad idea and while the Crylink has an interesting primary, it's still not easy enough to pick up and use (though it has improved, your new twist on the primary may work after all). The secondary needs to be changed though, because it makes the weapon too much like the HLAC. Maybe assign your current primary to secondary and make primary closer to what it was in Nexuiz? The gap between bunny hop and run is still ridiculous as well, you should be able to do both, not hold jump the entire match and then use the laser to jump. Also not a fan of the health/armor system (I think I nailed it in my file, you should probably take a look at that for ideas), and while the running speed is better, it could still be a little faster (25MPH was what was in Nexuiz 2.5). The shotgun is still questionable as well, too many pellets popped out at once can cause problems because it will weaken the weapon at long range, and make it absolutely lethal at close range. The nex will definitely be a problem when we get some Tribes-style action going, you should gear it to long range-extreme range while making the rifle a scout weapon most effective for long range, but useful at medium range (borderline useless at extreme range though). Also I still don't understand what the secondary on the rifle does as it seemed to just pop one quieter shot of when I used it last as opposed to a panic fire that could do some damage before you switch weapons after being rushed. One other thing: I miss my weapon combos. Both file sets still need work, but I'm pretty sure one of us will have something solid by the time beta rolls around.
