Recon was an abandoned stuff in beta with that bad set of guns with no scope unlocks untill lvl 2. Makes no sense in doing that.. The first thing should have been a scope on sniper. But I guess the actual game might come with some semi automatic snipers unlocked at lvl 0 which will give some hope untill that lvl 2 scope unlocks.
I found more fun playing with carbines and ACW R was an ace gun like always.
Overall, I am sure they will nerf down those OP guns to reality like what they have done with BF3 and I am hoping that they fix the random crashes when there is lot of action at a time and those random FPS drops in the final release.
But the new gameplay (needs a small amount of time and practice to get adapted to - for ppl coming from BF3) was a good take home from the beta
scopes was there for the CS-LR4.. 6x-14x variable.. but getting a hit/headshot was difficult for me ..
