Just a suggestion popped into my head, as I read the thread title again. You missed a very special weapon, the M2 .30 machinegun which was in my opinion used too seldom in UT games.
I think xidia had 2 of them as did Skytown, one in the phoenix outpost and another one tho fight a Red nemesis in a warehouse-like area.
I think a new skin which does not look so bland and the option to carry it would make a very special and innovative feature for RD. You could make it very inaccurate while shooting it from standing position for surpressing fire or close range and deployable with a bipod for medium range. IMO a much better option for a heavy machine gun than the overpowered minigun from 7B - which was total bleh.
I think the .30 was a nice gun so I would like to see a return of it in a altered version.
*edit* Ah, I cant remember the chambering, was it a .30cal or the big ole .50? Have to play Xidia again I guess.

Thats new to me, honestly I didnt know its origin till you mentioned it. However, its brief appearances in Xidia and Skytown redux makes it a weapon which played a (sadly a minor) role in the Jones saga, and would love to see it again in a more fancy way.
I have a soft spot for underdog weapons, so I like the chainsaw too.

Perhaps an Infra-Red function on the Sniper Rifle? I have seen a weapon use this feature before (I'm using it in my own SP mod) and it it kicks ass! But one thing that the one I have lacks is the ability to pick up lava...

Well, I use it in Monster Hunt-Which is VERY simmilar to SP-to find out where creatures are. This way, people won't get what I call "Zephon Syndrome"
Essentially, this was a scene in the Project: Zephon mod's FIRST LEVEL, where ALL the lights go out, and you're wandering down the ONLY way out (A hallway) and a Skaarj explodes out of the roof, dropping a Panel on your head and crushing you to death
Also handy for testing-Tells me whether that Mercenary fell in a big hole or not, or, and this is the thing that the one I have ATM lacks, is being able to see "Is that a pool of blood (Legacy, EXU2) or lava?
Besides, wouldn't Marines be using this stuff, realisticly
