It is VSR compatible but being ares it probably wont be fully. Also ARES have a way of announcing a lot earlier than releasing, so realistically I cant see this being available till at least this time next year.
Looks nice though, I prefer the Ashbury but it's nice all the same.
The ashbury looks very similar. I think the finish looks abit plasticy though. I'm funny with my colours lol. I'd rather it be black. Be of corse it's tan on cod so they made a tan one. (Damn you mw3..)
