I can't believe I'm actually involving myself in a balance thread 
As to the Nex/Rifle controversy, I think we just need to decide which is going to be the long-range sniper weapon and which is going to be the middle-short range, powerful but hard to aim weapon. As soon as we decide, we just gear each weapon toward that. I prefer the Rifle for short range headshots currently, but I can understand if you want to make it the sniper weapon.
I had a revolutionary idea for the Electro, but I don't know if it's code-able. What if you could press right mouse button for shaft, left mouse button for spam balls, and BOTH for old-style pulse? We could add more fire modes to other weapons as well if this works. Hitscan explosive also sounds cool.
I think the HLAC is pretty good as is, but merging the TAG Seeker and Hagar might be okay as long as you realize that it's going to become quite powerful.
