    Sniper rifles

    I am really hoping they have a long range scope because this game would be perfect for it.....

    That's really one of the things they haven't shown is if we can scope in with guns like DMRs and Snipers (have they even been shown yet?). Wouldn't make much sense if you couldn't use the attached scope and that also goes for any other guns with scope attachments. Really hope we can.

    If I remember correctly, yes you can!
    When you are using a DMR and you "aim down sight" with the left trigger (or equivalent), you'll "scope in" as apposed to just getting a slightly zoomed in / focused view.

    Since there are only DMRs in the game and not specific sniper-rifles, I would not expect to have very long ranged weapons in the game, but more accurate and slower firing assault rifles. Would also make sense, since we don't really have one-shot-kills. But the last official statement we have, that they are still balancing the range of the "long-range-weapons", so we don't really know, how far you can actually shoot.

    I personally hope they include a few bolt-action rifles in the game, just classified as "DMRs". There are tons of players who LOVE to Snipe, and even though sniping isn't my preferred combat strat, I would be disappointed if there weren't any legitimate Sniper Rifles other than semi-automatics/battle rifles.

    I'd honestly be surprised if bolt action rifles are added to the game, they seem to be adamant about forcing people to get up close, but I hope that they do.

    I like having options, I like fighting up close with high RoF weapons/Shotguns but also being able to switch to a sniper rifle to cover a teammate and force enemies into cover while they flank.

    I'd also like to have sniper rifles but from what I've seen we don't propably even get fights with assault rifle distances (50m-200m)
