In this game i've only sniped with the intervention and barret .50 cal. Looking at the stats the barret looks like the best sniper even compared to the higher level WA200 and M21 EBR. People who have used the WA2000 and M21 EBR are they better or worse? What are the pros and cons?

The other ones are almost as powerful but they shoot way faster. So if you are not accurate they are better. Also they have the power to kill in one shot but not over super long distances.

M21 EBR is amazing because of it's fire rate, but the Intervention is the preferred sniper for most people.

Oh, it should be noted that the M21 EBR has close to no recoil.

people here seem to forget that the M21 has the biggest "deep penetration" bullets in the game, it literally goes through anyone no matter where you hit him

what is so good about the intervention? is bolt-operating, its the least powerfull sniper rifle, it only wins in front the barrett by like 1% more accuracy (its a minimum diffrence) seriously, the barrett is such abetter rifle...intervention should be the default sniper and not the barrett

The thing about the barrett is when you get one shot off it kicks so bad you wont be able to center your target very well. It doesent apply obviously if you get a one shot kill

yeah with the power of the barrett you shouldn't have a problem with that...and sniper rifles are supposed to be for people with good accuracy, not for sprayers...so the intervention is a sniper for sprayers, the "bolt operating" is just to prevent them from spamming R1 with it

I just like the bolt action of the intervention better than the barrett. Its just personal preferance because the barett is a great sniper rifle in its own right.

:? the M21 is by far the better sniper rifle... the ability to get a second shot off almost emmediately after teh first shot makes it a clear cut winner...

that 1% accuracy helps out a great deal, and is the difference between a headshot and a miss... the barret is useless because the recoil kills its semi-automatic ability.....

the intervention ,in real life atleast, is known as the sniper rifle with the longest range out there....

but IW gave all sniper rifles the same range so they compensated by giving the intervention extra accuracy...

and when sniping the most important thing is accuracy.... not fire rate... so using that ideology the intervention is a better rifle...

I always use the barret. One shot kills to the body, not bolt action like the annoying intervention, what is not to like? I can take out people with assault rifles when they are only a few yards away by quickly scoping and hitting them with a body shot. Barret = Pwnage

Intervention = Bolt Action Barret (therefore it is worse)
