Ok, so I get that for the sake of gameplay they have incorporated a lot more smg’s, lmg’s, and semi automatic guns.. to speed things up for the player’s. However it is a fact that during the great war, the standard issue weapon for infantry was the bolt action rifle.. _ **they were every where.** _.. the entire live stream I didn’t see a single person using a bolt action rifle that wasn’t sniping with a scope.. this worries me. ---

Agree the weapons were firing far too fast. If you use a bolt action in this game you will get annihilated. Not realistic at all! ---

I agree. I was hoping for a bit different paced Battlefield this time around, but it seems it’ll be the same thing as all the others. Not interested. ---

> [@Gmkillers](#): > > Agree the weapons were firing far too fast. If you use a bolt action in this game you will get annihilated. Not realistic at all! These weapons were firing much slower then the more modern weapons in BF4. I thought everything looked pretty Authentic, and aside from the soldiers movement speed, The pace of the game seemed slower then previous versions of Battlefield. I loved what I saw, honestly I was worried more that the game would be one big pillow fight. Thank God I was wrong! ---

Yeah but my issue wasn’t so much the speed… it was the lack of Bolt Action Rifles!!!.. standard issue for the majority of infantry.. why was it only the snipers were using them???.. ---

I kinda hope bolt action rifles are allowed in every class, maybe don’t give them high powered scopes unless they are in scout class, not like they’d get used at all, but that’s the weapon everyone could start out with
