Welcome to the SCAR Weapon Focus!

Today we're pleased to introduce the first of numerous Crysis 2 weapon focus articles.  These articles will introduce you to the kind of firearms you can expect to find in Crysis 2, give you a little history on the weapon, and show you just what you can expect to be weilding in-game.  For this first edition we've decided to introduce an old favourite, the SCAR.

SCAR
Introduced in 2018 and manufactured by US-based Scrutch Industries, the SCAR is now the standard-issue assault rifle for all US Forces. Utilizing advanced rifle cartridges that are smaller than the previous 5.56mm rounds, the SCAR offers increased ammunition storage per-magazine with zero impact on combat effectiveness. Field tests confirm that it exceeds its predecessor in almost every area, from muzzle velocity through flight stability to terminal ballistics.
 
The SCAR is part of the Superior Combat Assault Rifle weapon family comprising the SCAR assault rifle, the shorter SCARAB carbine, and the SCARE sniper variant. The SCAR family of weapons was first unveiled in 2018, shortly before the Lingshan Incident. Following a successful trial period, it rapidly became the assault rifle of choice for all US military branches andvarious security forces and military contractors worldwide.
 
The weapon can mount a variety of attachments including under barrel grenade launchers and combat scopes, making it an excellent tactical choice to adapt to the rapidly changing combat situations of modern conflicts.
