maybe the lee enfield could be the medic gun, and when you have reached a high enough perk level (4 or 5) the gun would use clips instead of single shot reloading. This would balance it out a bit in my opinion.

My logic was simply based on the fact that I'd rather have a British SMLE than an American Lever-Action in a zombie game in Britain. I've seen lever-actions done before - I want something a bit different. If it meant changing the mechanics to reloading after five rounds, so be it. You'd hold 10 rounds instead of 8 and it'd make more sense for an appearance rather than the lever-action.

Rurik you're talking to a bunch of guys who just got done fighting in the Eastern Front for 4+ years. We're tired of bolties.

I've not seen lever actions done before either, they're a neglected weapon type.

While I've spent a fair amount of time with bolties in RO, I haven't grown tired of them at all. I still say we give it a chance.

I would love to see a bolt action rifle as well, I think it would be a great addition and a good high end weapon for the sharpshooter. I just do not think it should be at the expense of a weapon which is already in the game (that's the real kicker), has an important place in a persons load out, and which is liked by a good many people.
On another note, I really don't like the idea of including a "sniper" rifle. Any bolt action rifle would be ok, but not something ridiculous like a magnum firing or .50 cal gun. I also dont really think it should have a scope, just to keep the crossbow relevant to the game.

the crossbow is relevant because it pierces, therefore another gun with a scope would not make it redundant. Anyway, I would like to see a .303 Lee Enfield bolt-action, or possibly the later repeating version...a small 5 or 6 round clip but significant power would make this rifle a great alternative to the crossbow at later waves. Perhaps alt-fire could switch between iron sights and a low magnification (1.5x) sight, but personally I think iron sights are more than adequate. The Lever action would still have its place as a superb trash killer, with its large magazine.

Couldn't really switch between iron sights or optics, since optics are normally mounted above the receiver - in the way of the iron sights.

I wish the ironsight was changed. Looks real bad.
In kfmod the winchesster ironsight looked really good.

So, it should be replaced with something indeed.

Britain, wishing 'twas Bavaria
We haven't all come from RO, I never played it... and the bolt action is still an appropriate choice especially with the Lee-Enfield being the iconic British rifle.

And "It's" I apologise, it's not that I didn't read your post, I just misread it.

would be nice to have a proper sniper rifle, which is one shot kill in hard difficulty, coz atm lever action rifle is two shot kills for clots.

just make it more expensive.

they should just make the lever action rifle as powerful as the AWP back in the old CS days pre-AWP nerf. I don't care if it'll make the game easier, it should be one shot, one kill... ANYWHERE.

Screw the challenege. I want to WIN!
