The riflemen are particularly vicious in this.
I slightly dropped their damage output and upped their spread slightly, but in the end, they're just this flavor of chaingunner, and chaingunners should always be your top priority if there is no cover, because they can and WILL fuck you up, Plutonia and TNT built entire sections of maps around this.

Just crouching down behind a crate until they stop shooting is good enough for that tiny but precious little window where you can take them out before they can start shooting again.

An enemy I did hate was the plasma tank (arachnotron replacement) in the early version, because they were fast, much quieter, and they would just mow you down in a hail of heated plasma bolts from the distance if you didn't pay attention. Like each projectile only does about 2 damage, but they shoot so many and so fast that you absolutely must find cover. The plasma troopers aren't nearly as pants shittingly annoying.

They were fucking great for starting infighting though, Jesus they would turn a horde into an angry mess in a hurry.
