Well yeah, of course the line gun is for crowd control. I'll be more specific. The reason to use the plasma cutter is to have a fast, accurate, low ammo cost, long range, wide-cutting weapon, to use to be able to lop off limbs with precision, right? But with a combo of the line gun and carbine, I have a gun that lops off a bunch of enemies limbs at once, with a wide cut, at a decent range, and with power, and I've got the carbine for a weapon that's very accurate at long range, has low ammo cost, is very precise, just as fast as the plasma cutter, and does more damage. With the combo of those two weapons as one gun I basically have one weapon that's better at everything the plasma cutter does.
I've never really liked the contact beam. The charge always made me uncomfortable because of how fast enemies come up on you in DS. My setup in the first two was usually something like plasma cutter, force gun, line gun, and either the pulse rifle or ripper. Then I added the mine launcher, I can't remember what it was actually called, in DS2. I loved that thing. Setting mines in front of vents was such a tension reliever.
Around what chapter do you start getting new suits? I still just have the first space suit you get. Well that and the 2 pre-order suits I got, but I don't really like either of them visually
