Well it ended up becoming a scout rifle, I could kind of see that the way it changed on PTS. That is shame in my opinion, I was looking forward for a new actual semi auto sniper rifle . Oh well, I guess that it doesn't fit NC very well to get semi auto snipers rifles anyway, like vanu and TR got, sort of.
It was a scout rifle on PTS too, they just called it a sniper. The damage and velocity was comparable to a scout.
