    No AR-CL or .308 Rifle in Map Editor Loadout?

    So, I like the editor and I've heard it get much praise, which made me excited because I've been really into it since Far Cry 2. What's more is that I love the weapons in the game; perfect in my opinion, and the loadout editor is an amazing idea, but there is one problem: there is is no category for regular sniper rifles. Unfortunately, the only two guns I wanted to customize were the AR-CL and the .308 rifle, neither of which are listed. You can spawn in a default version that can be picked up, but without an option to edit them, you can't have a suppressor or a different optic on the rifles, which can be a big problem in certain instances. This is such a small, yet odd thing to have, so I'm wondering if it is an oversight? I can't see it being a balance thing, seeing as they are still available through pickup, and I can't imagine the addition of a suppressor or a different optic being any more powerful than any other gun. So there are two specific firearms that can't be used in a stealth setting or with optics of a higher or lower magnification. I'm hoping this is an oversight that gets fixed soon.

    Update
    It would seem that this was supposed to have been addressed, yet it was not fully fixed. https://forums.ubi.com/showthread.ph...e-Editor-STILL

    Yeah this is annoying, I'm sure this will be fixed soon, the MS16 is missing too.

    *bump* This NEEDS to be fixed!!
    How can Ubisoft be this shi**y?

    I bet they're going to sell the weapons as part of a Editor DLC pack or some bullsh*t.

    We're stuck with two .50 cal rifles, but no 308?
    Yeah, that sure seems balanced when making loadouts for a map.

    The rifle can be placed in the map and picked up, but can NOT be selected in the loadout?
    And this is NOT part of known issues, so this is clearly a design choice. I'd like to know what you smoked when you came up with this idea.

    I'm making a WWI style map and I figured the 308 would be perfect with no scope to mimic a WWI style bolt action rifle, this sucks, I guess I'll just place a bunch at the spawn points, unless they have scopes that would kinda wreck the idea

    Same here. I'm making WW2 maps, since the M1 Garand isn't in the game I wanted to use the MS16 but nope, it's missing too.

    The 308 as a pickup has no scope, just iron sights. Sucks for anyone who wants a rifle with a scope though because we're forced to use one of the 50 cals (bolt action or semi-auto). And even those don't have the "real" sniper scope, the zoom on their scope (same on both) is laughable. The only way to give the player a somewhat proper sniper rifle is to spawn him with a 50 cal in the loadout.

    Rejoice! This has been acknowledged by Ubi and it will be fixed in the next Title Update.

    Really? Do you have a link? I'm really curious. I'll be pretty damn happy if they actually did pick up on it.
