i think freezing can be extremely annoying. being helpless is always annoying.
this remembers me of the emp grenade in shattered horizon, where you can barely move and hear nothing after you get hit. while this of course adds tactical elements, it almost certainly leads to your death, as a freeze would do: freeze someone - switch to the railgun - aim for the head - shoot, easily doable in one second...
an idea would be that this weapon would fire a constant beam and if you get hit, you get slowed down to maybe 2/3 of your normal speed.
a tracker is too useless to be a gun. if you can hit a target with a tracker, you can also hit it with the railgun, which is a lot more useful
