Correct lafeel, The Heavy Gauss Rifle is not "old school" level 2. That tech being the new items in the orignal FASA TRO 2750 and 3050. I tried to list them all out but forgot the standard gauss rifle.
Most of the "new" advanced tech just seams very gimicy and overly complicated. so i have blanket outlawed it. Personally the only things that make any kinda since are expanding the current group of ER lasers, LBX and ultra auto-cannons and maybe an IS reverse engineered version of the targeting computer and a clan version of the C-3 (though the advantages of that are very unclan like).
I personally don't care for anything past the 3058 TRO (orignal FASA) and 99.9% of the things that wiz kids did to the battletech universe. I think Catalyst is making strides to move on, but got stuck with all of wiz kids crap. The only thing that i have seen worth while between the two was revising how anti-missle systems work.
To be fair i believe that the final run of products from FASA were going down the gimicy path with Max Tech and stuff, but it only got worse with wiz kids. I will give them some credit for keeping the game alive, but just only.
