I have long felt this about scout rifles. I started using one in open beta and haven't diverged much. When I'm getting ready to do something important my first thought is, "equip your scout rifle". As for MIDA, what a great weapon! I got it from a Roc Strike a few weeks ago and while it doesn't quite replace my Another NITC (soon to be replaced itself by Crypt Dweller), I'll never get rid of it. It sounds like it has a suppressor on it and has some pretty cool geometry; the large magazine and speed boost make it a great shoot-displace-shoot weapon.
