Scout rifles will be useless and medics will rule mid-long range. That’s all this really means.
The two hit kill time of bolt action rifles is way too slow to keep up with semi-auto rifles, and it’s unreasonable to expect scouts to get a majority of headshots if they’re attempting to play anywhere close to the objective. Thus scout rifle performance will rely heavily on the enemy being pre-injured or standing still. Meanwhile medic has the advantage there as well since they’ll rarely be pre-injured since they can self heal.
And from the gameplay I saw, the SLR TTK is pretty damn fast.
I’m hoping there’s at least some relatively fast firing scout rifles, maybe with less damage per hit, but at least capable of keeping up with SLRs. Something along the lines of the RSC for example.
