Rename Elite Rifleman to Senior Rifleman

[Wesreidau]

I confess I hate the "Elite Rifleman" name. There's nothing really "elite" about him, he was just a more experienced soldier or a better shot who was given the semi-automatic rifle. I'd rather he be named the "Senior Rifleman", which implies he's just more experienced and not some specialist sent in from the War Academy. I've also seen the title in Russian orders of battle for modern infantry platoons.

Anyway vote for your preferred name above.

Semi-Auto riflemen, no wait, scratch that. I want Stelok-avto and Sch

 

[Howitzer114]

Senior makes me think of an old man. How about "Veteran Rifleman."

elite,

I was also thinking of the Semi-Auto Rifleman as an option. Veteran Rifleman sounds nice, but then you get Veteran Veteran Riflemen after you level up a few times. I thought best to avoid words used elsewhere.

I like this one most, altough what Wesreidau mentioned is true. It would mess up elite rifleman and ranked up rifleman.

 

[tarquin]

senior rifleman sounds fine, but i'm okay with elite as well...

 

[Hektor88]

Pointless criticism if you ask me. Elite Rifleman is the best of the riflemen... ergo, elite rifleman. Citing the definition of "senior" and saying, "see, it works" is a fallacious argument; I could cite the definition of "awesome" to suggest that the class be named "Awesome Rifleman," but that wouldn't mean it's a better name than "Elite Rifleman" for dozens of reasons.

 

[Obnoxious]

did you know that there really was scout for elite shooter during WW2 ?

This.

 

[Yellonet]

I think it should be more neutral like "Semi-Auto Rifleman"

Agreed.
A neutral title that actually describes the class.

 

[Lipton Iced Soup]

I prefer Veteran Rifleman more.

 

[Klaus Stamper]

Sorry to be a bit of an ***, but when you said you xouldnt careless abut semantics, itwas obvious when you used the Noun version of elite, against the Adj. version of Senior

To conclude

Elite noun
1.
( often used with a plural verb ) the choice or best of anything considered collectively, as of a group or class of persons.

Elite adjective
5.
representing the most choice or select; best: an elite group of authors.

I'm sorry my friend, but you just got lawyered
