    Yeah, after watching some of the gameplay footage available on YouTube it seems a little over the top.

    I was kind of excited about it in the beginning because although I figured it would be powerful, I thought the rate of fire would be like the Mark1 from BF4 but the ability to go single/burst/full-auto with this thing looks a little nuts.

    I'm fairly certain it'll get nerfed pretty quick from watching those gameplay videos.

    @UP_LordPlumber We are talking about a long range sniper scope with a hitscan bullet model.

    No idea why you are talking about ARs which have bullet drop built in past certain distances.

    The new rail gun rifle isn't a sniper rifle this time around though. While it is an updated version of bf4s railgun. It is also more of an AR styled railgun. While the semi auto feature is more suited for medium to longish distance, it isn't like sniper rifle distance. Maybe a DMR distance or semi auto AR distance?

    That does look very powerful. It'll be interesting to see what it's like in practice, but I think it might well get adjusted.

    I don't see it staying this way, I think it will get adjusted pretty fast.

    If it is anywhere near as good as it appears in the video it would need adjusting, but as you say let's see how it handles on Tuesday.

    @RayD_O1 Yep, I think that's the best thing to do. It could turn out to be strong but balanced or not be as effective in the hands of regular players.

    Wow, just watched Jackfrags reveal and the Rail gun looks like the most insanely OP gun ever created.

    Surely it can't ship like this next week?

    You should stop using Jackfrags as a litmus test. This is the same Bozo that showed a controller pulling 90 degrees to lock onto an enemy.
