omg the idiots in that thread are vouching for a "sniper" role for riflemen, lying prone and shooting. Dont they understand that you can't have any snipers when everyone is accurate and shoots at 1 shot per second and most importantly max range is 64 METERS.... TKA can lunge you from 20 meters, 1/3 of the maximum distance a "sniper" can shoot.

I don't see how they plan to get any reasonable balance out of those threads since every X profession thread consists entirely of people who play X proposing ridiculous overpowered abilities and people who don't play X proposing that X be made useless and their own class be improved instead.

Lunge1, which for unarmed is 20m(I'm pretty darn sure since I used all 4 of the lunges like mad for the last week), doesn't knock you down, but it makes you kneel which isn't much different since they can close the gap and perform various and asundry things to you while you are trying to stand up and run off.

16m, I believe. But, with lag and such, lunge's can have an effective range of 30m+

the thread is close, i couldnt post.
I for one feel that rifleman should not be isolated to Sniper only. It should be a mix of sniper ability specials and infantry grunt/machine gun types.

yeah, lunge 1 is just as effect as lunge 2. They kneel you, then before u can get up they have caught up and they have a dizzy on you and you aren't getting up, or even if they dont get to you before you stand up again, they can keep spamming those lunges.

Ok, I posted.
I suspect that virtually anyone voting for a pigeon holing of the rifleman as a sniper is either,
a. Not a rifleman
b. Not reached Master Rifleman yet
c. A CH/Rifleman.
Yes, hand out your defensive caps and go on with your melee "to hit" bonus against ranged opponents but otherwise, please leave us alone. I like my Rifle. I love my Rifle. If you pigeon hole me as a "sniper" and take away my "machine gunner" abilities, I'll quit and move to spammity spam spam unarmedhit3 or quit altogether.
Titles? I don't care if you change our title to "Toothfairy". I'll still be a Rifleman and wear the "Toothfairy" tag proudly.
