[smitty1984]

Could we please have more info on gear, weapons and skills there just isnt enough info to satisfy me help us out here.

[Orogun01]

Ok here is your first one: there are no sniper rifles.

[Tigranes]

If we had more info on skills, we'd pretty much have everything, it seems. Who knows about weapons and how many there are, though.

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

That's just sad.

You don't get to carry one around or stock one in your safe house armory.. Just have to make do with an assault rifle with scope and such for any long distance potting....

 

But wasn't there some mention that you might have some specialized missions where you get access to a sniper rifle for specific point/s in those missions?

[Baeus]

Should be more info about all that over the week with the gamesradar previews... At least, that's what they're promising

agreed

Actually I'm pretty sure there is a sniper rifle, though it's just a one shot weapon and not something you carry on with you.

That's still pretty freaking sad.

Why? Sniper rifles as a main weapon would just be silly. What kind of spy infiltrates an enemy compound running around with a giant rifle on his back? Assault rifles are pushing it, to be honest.

 

You really lose the feeling of being a badass sniper when you're using it like a slow-firing assault rifle at 100 yards, anyway, which is what you'd end up doing if it were a main weapon.

Sniper Rifle in Deus Ex.

 

I rest my case.

[The Jackalope]

Totally different kind of game.

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

IMO, not really. Both games seem pretty similar.

 

Still, you can infiltrate with a sniper rifle. It makes plenty of sense: sniping tower guards and the like. The only problem is inside the sniper starts getting awkward and less useful. Really, I don't see why you couldn't have snipers in the game.

The ranges at which you'd be using it make an assault rifle a much more practical choice.
