It is probably the most passive role you can ever think of.
It might be possible to make it good, with a lot of job (For example, making reloading a more complicated process through different sections, and aiming/spotting having a sophisticated system for co-operating), but will SOE bother?
I sincerely hope that "more action oriented" doesn't mean they've made it a deathmatch with capturable locations, and that terms such as "front lines" or "trench warfare" do not apply to the game. I seriously LOVE trench warfare.
