Actually I also would like to see regular bolt action sniper or hunting rifle in the game. If not on release maybe in one of patches/addons.

how bout a scoped k98 from RO???

Fan of it or not.. I don't see how the crossbow would not be useless if a real sniper rifle was added.

Thing I like about the crossbow is that you can make emergency ammo caches by shooting your teammates in the ***

In the KF mod, the Xbow was expensive, hard to use, and was heavy for the amount of ammo you got. I would prefer a sniper to that, but since I rarely use the Winchester or Xbow and never after mid-game (because I only use a LAW for FPs) it usually didn't matter.

What a horrible argument. You'd prefer a sniper because the crossbow in the mod was simply balanced wrong?

I suppose you'd like the flame thrower removed and replaced with hello kitty dolls because it was bad in the mod?

Can you pick up the bolts once you use them?

Well if it is different in the retail version, that's great and I'll use it. In the end most of the differences are superficial if you keep balancing until it works. If the weapon changes into an entirely new type of weapon, then perhaps it should be a different weapon. A weapon with no ballisics object (and thus no need to account for gravity) or a weapon with higher ballistics speed with slightly cheaper and more ammo (the fixes to the problems that I outlined) would probably be a lot closer to a sniper than an Xbow. I really could not care less if it is a sniper, only that it is a viable weapon.

Yeah so you want a more balenced crossbow? Why did you ask for a sniper in the first place then? Plus a sniper is definately heavier than a crossbow.

As you can see, I never asked for a sniper in the first place. I was looking for a balanced crossbow, but in the process found that it would indeed act more like a sniper. The crossbow in KF weighed in at 10 (lbs?) which is heavier than a Winchester or shotgun. And while a sniper is heavier, the ammo would take less space (more ammo) and hit more accurately, more easily (easier to use).

And as I stated before:
