Because I don't share your views and take offence to your insults?
I deleted that, because I thought it was out of line and not really helpful to the thread. You caught it early.
And again
How stupid are you? Do you even know how to read? Get it to your skull that i dont mind you disagreeing with me. It has nothing to do with your views on the games. Stop trying to turn it around and make yourself the victim, seriously.
If you had read carefully, you will notice me saying that you were being disrespectful, several times. Not that it really matters anymore now, since I clearly have dropped down to your level.
THAT is your problem. And maybe the fact that you ask the same stupid question over and over again.

yeah its worrying me more and more, and the speed with which you can vault over a fence etc.. ..
i feel like the battles are going to become frantic sprinting matches where there is no clear "front" no defended invisible wall made up of a random assortment of cover that creates a heavily defensible location... if you can just fly around the map...
I do not see this as much of a problem tbh. Most of the videos shot are urban areas or inside buildings.
If they we're outside then they would be killed a lot more by glorious rifles.
But then on the other hand in urban only maps I can see the bolt action rifle being at a disadvantage, which can also be an advantage as any self respecting marksman would get that one shot one kill to the chest or head in a CQB situation, even if you don't at least its a learning experience for your next encounter or just use the bayonet.

Today I saw footage of someone using a Rifle, an SMG guy popped his head around the corner and quickly went back in behind it. The rifle player put one bullet into the wall and a couple of seconds later the kill message came up.
Rifles are definately useful.
Rifles are definately useful.
The SMGs in RO2 weigh practically the same as the bolt action rifles but are only half as long.
Not heavier (definitely not "much" heavier) and not "clunky". A 3 1/2 foot long rifle is clunky.
Been playing the beta for 21 hours now. Very rarely do I ever see anyone on Axis actually using a bolt-action rifle. I don't see why they would either, not when the mp40 acts like a bloody laser-gun.
i've clocked about 20 hours on the beta and used semi-auto rifle for the first time today.
WHAT THE DERPING DERPA IS THAT DERPA DERP ? it's like an SMG with no recoil combined with the power and accuracy of a bolt action rifle.
i then realised that squad leader and commander can also choose semi-auto rifle.
fair enough semi-auto rifle was an awesome weapon... but it's such a braindead nub cannon, it makes bolt action totally obsolete and pathetic.
there needs to be some kind of realistic ratio in place at least.

The semi auto is very powerful, but I've hit people with it twice and have them survive. Don't have any idea how they did either.
It's just that pretty much every map facilitates every other gun except for the standard rifles (except grumshak). Most of the fighting occurs within 60 meters and the SMGs are dead on up to that range. Not to mention that the rifles are completely helpless at close quarters inside buildings and such.
You could always try using the other end of the rifle in CC. You know, a stock butt to the skull action. Can be quite effective and wait until bayonets are back - then we can have bayonet only sessions like in Ost Front.
