I have to agree with the statements about the current political climate in the US. I'm not happy with it either, but let's keep political comments like that off of blogs and talk pages, as it never, never turns out well. Those comments just really don't have a place here as everyone has their own opinions.

As to the sniper rifle, I also have to agree. Given that it is stated quite clearly on the M-29 Incisor page, that it is part of that "new wave" of rifles, I highly doubt that it was from the pre-Mass Effect physics era that started in 2148. Even then, guns were probably still using bullets for a few years, but were probably all, or mostly, switched over before the First Contact War.

Spart's idea of a spin-off like ODST sounds like a good idea or some of the other ideas that have been presented. But as to Jake's comment about hyping DLC this much, I can see a company hyping DLC this much if it is something big like Awakening. I'm still thinking that a spin-off, expansion pack, or a big DLC pack are some of the best ideas, but that's me.
