So this is to once again summarize and talk about something that desperately needs attention. Anyways... stop gumming up other threads about scout and talk in a scout thread. So... to gather the ideas I have seen or remember thinking about Just remove the riffle (shame to loose a model) Swap riffle for a Shotgun (err did scout already get sg?) Remove the scope on the riffle Change dmg to effect tanks. (AT-riffle) Change dmg type to bio (poison dart gun?) Remove binocs and replace with rifle as utility to tag targets with More adjustments to riffle dmg/falloff needed Give to rifleman As you all know I favor the 4th one. I am not adverse to making that change and then giving it to rifleman. Hit scan tank dmg would be a boon to rifleman and make him give up something important, soldier suppression. I could not see giving it to gren because, it doesn't fit in with gren image. That being of... explosives and what not. Keeping an AT riffle with scout would not fit with the scouts image as well. Giving the scouts riffle bio dmg might be within the scouts image, being an ass hole and all. Fucking out of no where... you get bio'd and are freaking out looking for an armory or engy. Swapping out the binocs for the riffle as a tagging tool could confuse people.
This thread went from fail to fail. There are definitely some problems with the scout rifle and I don't think it's fixable, but we don't really need anything thread about it.
