Scout rifles are in a horrible place. I used them all the time in D1. They just have never felt right in D2, not even the damage,just the overall feel. I would use nameless midnight,from time to time in year one, and it at least felt ok. First time I used it in year 2, i could see the damage drop off,and didn't even feel the same as in year 1. Who ever works on scout rifles,on the bungie development team, needs to go back and play D1, to see and feel the difference. Some of the worst scout rifles from D1,feel better than some of the best scout rifles of D2.
