Sniper Rifle?

Pipi

+1 for semi-auto rifle

I'd love a semi auto rifle but in order to please everyones tastes, we must also follow the NS tradition of sniper pistols (so yes if only one then add a rifle, if there's time add this baby as well):

A Thomson Center pistol. .600 Nitro Express Magnum single shot.

And the humorous video of someone actually trying to shoot it (naturally in the future this gun would have no recoil :P): <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bm0QbqSywU&feature=player_embedded" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bm0QbqSywU...player_embedded</a>

Will there be a sniper rifle in NS2?
I've always liked long-ranged styled weapons, but I can live without one; however, I'm just wondering if there will be a Sniper Rifle.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->


A scope optic on a weapon in close quarter combat???
you like as well mount a microscope on your shotgun

Edit: the entire game is mostly close quarters,
if no one noticed

Actually let's bypass nitro altogether and go straight to .50 BMG. Some things are just inedible.
