This is a good question.
Asides from some very minor tweaks like toning down the Bolt Pistol a little... I'd say that Dust's infantry vs. infantry light weapons are all but balanced.
We probably won't be hearing anything major from CCP til next March at Harpa. Where hopefully they will show us how far along Legion has come. (And maybe even a date for later that year for a closed beta to start?)
If I had to guess, I'd say they will start working on vehicles and AV proper at this point.
Yes, Rattati. I too would like to hear the answer to this question.

People were so quick to bltch at CCP over Legion.
Rattati drops one bomb about post-level 5 content, and suddenly they giddy like school girls again.
This of course does NOT mean that Dust is "alive". As far as I'm concerned, it's still just an ugly pre-alpha for Legion.
And I'm excited about Fanfest in March. So let's support Dust, so that we can get the good stuff later.
Playing Dust is 100% a matter of faith at this point.
They better have Rattati involved in Legion's development as well, because this man understands the simple concept of making a plan and sticking to it.
And NO, a "Tactical Rail Rifle" is a terrible idea.... like that damn gun needs any more range. fk off. We have struggled to get some semblance of balance here. Don't muck things up!
If we could get a proper rename for the Gallent Assault Rifles that would be great:
Plasma Rifle
Tactical Plasma Rifle
etc.

A tac rr would instantly knock the tactical sniper rifle out of it's current (and new) niche.
A tac rr has no place here.
You introduce a tac rr and the question immediately becomes, what is the tactical sniper rifle for?
EDIT: Everybody wants that high alpha, precision strike without paying the penalty for it. This is exactly why the Bolt Pistol is fotm atm.
General population doesn't use sniper rifles, because they hate the sway. If we make a Tac RR as defined by some comments here, we will be violating that balance compact.
Even if such a rifle were made with the Bolt Pistols OLD damage of 130ish. It would still be OP.
Because of its superior range, and the ridiculously high dps and zone of control that would be set by a whole squad or team running them.
No. The Rail Rifles are fine. Variants to improve their close range combat ability are welcome, but no tactical long-range precision nonsense. It has enough of that, and it excels the best at it.
