I still belive one option did not get enough attention: cut the shotgun primary function.
Compared to playing with laser ("I do believe I can still have the long range juggling possibly" - but its short-mid range that matters!) thats definitely smaller change. Shotgun primary tends to make game kind of raw - like few players shooting only sg at each other untill one previals. Without sg primary you just need to pick something before fighting. And that way weapon system gets simpler. While some crazy laser-recharge-melee-can-still-have-juggling will be something weird at this point.
Exactly. There is a big difference between having a weapon that lets you move and one that lets you move and deal damage. The latter I can only see reasonable if its melee dmg so you still need to switch weapon/laser/back in most cases.
If LG would be more effective than combos - i.e. be kind of an overpowered uzi with short range, disguised in a new model - then it's a game changer and a lame quake cloning. I hope that's not what is planned as part of the new weapon system. It would be a major change at a late stage.
