in regular TDM a silenced sniper rarely kills with one shot.... but in hardcore game modes it will kill when silenced... made sense to me.
but you reffered to the first part of that statement as a 'Core' Game, and the second as a 'hardcore' game mode. I was confused, with your latest version it seems more understandable. I just wasn't sure how to tell the difference between a "core" game and a "hardcore" game.
Core. Core game modes. The normal ones around which Hardcore is based but periphery. What do you want me to call it, Softcore?
The reason I don't use the Barret is that I don't need to use it. I don't often miss, so I don't need second shot. And when I do miss... well, I have to die sometime. Even when I use a semi automatic sniper rifle I take a very long break between shots.
but just cause you don't miss isn't a reason not to use the barret ya know?.. I can not miss with the barret just as easy as you can not miss with the intervention... I just dont see a valid reason why to shoose one over the other.. besides the fact that the intervention sounds cool
There are a variety of reasons, all which only really make sense to me. The first is that it intimidates the enemy. Get shot by a Barret and even if the first round is a killer you can discount it as luck. Get killed by an Intervention and you're thinking the other guy is good enough to be cocky. Which I'm not, I'm just plain cocky, but it is extremely important to put the fear in the enemy.
Second, it makes me feel better to not use the very best weapons available. I use silenced weapons and cold blooded when I could achieve the same effect by simply taking an ACR and stopping power then straight up butchering any fucker who comes near me when a UAV is up. I use the M9 and USP rather than the Glock 18, and while I do use a P90 I take a throwing knife rather than a grenade. I really, really like to kill people who have a better set up than I do. I've probably got over a hundred thousand kills playing online in the last few years, so now I go for quality over quantity. A knife in the neck at thirty metres is quality, as is calmly dispatching three guys, all blazing away with assault rifles and machine guns, with a bolt action rifle.
These damn snipers never kill in one shot anymore, it's ridiculous. That's why at first I chose the barret, so I can get that second shot in quicker. Now I like the third sniper better because there is less recoil and you can shoot them more than once even quicker than the barret. That's all that matters to me since the damage is never enough anyway.
I have never used the Barret, always stuck with the Intervention. I roll with all classes (except my riot shield class) using stopping power. For the first time today I traded that with cold-blooded. BIG MISTAKE. The only one shot kills I made were headshots. It was ridiculous. It'll probably be the same with the Barret so I'm going to try out the M21 when I unlock it and see how that plays out.

Honestly, I like the Intervention better. It seemed like I was getting kills a lot faster with it than I was with the Barrett. I got thermal in a matter of games, whereas it took ages to get the silencer on the Barrett.
I felt like the intervention was dropping people faster until it wasnt..., haha... It was a nice change at first but then just not worth it cause it really wasnt killing people faster than the barrett for me.
The M21 is okay but it's not really a one shot kill and when you have a guy just poking arounda corner or someone on the run far away, you need that one shot kill capability so they dont have a chance to get away before you get off a second shot.... Although I do admit I need to give the gun more of a chance cause I've only used it a handful of games.
I cannot snipe in this game. I dont know why, I just can't. during the single player campaign I can snipe fine. But as soon as I jump in multiplayer I've got a better chance ducking and diving while running up to the guy to kill him with my asault riffle than I do dropping down and sniping him.
The way they modelled the Barret and the Intervention is the game rather disappoints me. As I'm sure everyone here knows, all the guns in this game can actually be found in real life. And in real life, the Intervention has about 500 yards more range than the Barret (not important for this game) and it delivers the bullet with much more force. More force = more stopping power. In all reality, the Intervention should've been a god among sniper rifles in this game. I was disappointed almost to the point of being upset with the way they modelled the damage on it. As for the M21, it's perfect for using a silencer, as there's no need to switch out perk 2 for stopping power, just two quick shots and your target drops.

say what?? there is nothing in the cheytac product line that comes anywhere close to a .50bmg round! lmao
The accuracy rating doesn't make a difference. When you're using a scope, bullets go to the center of your crosshairs.
When you're moving or shotgunning the accuracy plays a role.

More power? Try the same power.
Easy no scopes or cheap luck no scopes?
High mobility? hahahaha
Semi-auto... only thing that makes it better than the intervention.
I still refuse to use it because I don't snipe much in this game and to think that some dumbass actually thought to make silencing the barrett possible was a good idea.

if a browning heavy machinegun in .50 bmg can be silenced then anything can be silenced.
