You do get the title for mastering it if you havent prestiged, just not for the headshots/five hundred kills.

Edit: :facepalm: Srry for double post by the way...

From what I understand, it may take place over a good portion of the overarchin Cold War.

Well the Intervention makes sense,it is a superior gun.I think you can chalk the other 2 up to game developers doing as they please.

Not at all. The Barret has a higher caliber, more forceful hit, and has nearly the same bullet velocity as the Intervention.

Although if you're good with a sniper, it shouldn't matter.

My best killstreak is 37 and I got that when I didn't have the nuke.

The Intervention has more range and better accuracy and its a mini computer that advises on shot adjustments.Also I might be wrong but I am pretty sure it more flexible with attachments.The 50 cal. certainly packs a bigger punch though.

How the hell...how does one do this? AC-130? Chopper gunner? I just don't get it.

Predator, Harrier, chopper gunner I only had 4 kills with my chopper and my harrier before they went ka-boom and the rest was from running around with my Spas-12.

I hate how killstreak kills won't go towards your killstreak record.I don't mind them not counting for other killstreaks but it says I have 15 kills in a row as my record but I know it is better than that since I went 21-0 a couple of days ago.

The .50 cal should not need FMJ. It should also be one hit kill no matter where you shoot them. IMO it is the superior sniper rifle and is sorely underpowered in this game. On that note the AA-12 is also gimped. I think it should be the best shotgun because of its superior firing rate range and accuracy (in real life) to any other shotgun out there. I wish it came with the drum magazine.

edit: I would also like to point out that the worst part of this game is [censored] spawn campers.

I got a killstreak of 33 with a predator/harrier/choppergunner on Highrise, and I was a sniper who didn't go crawling into goofy positions. I stayed back by the spawning area near A the entire time, and shot people till I ran out of Barret ammo.

I got a Chopper gunner from a care package, got a 37 killstreak from it. Another time I got an AC130 and only got about 10, if that.

My best killstreak is also 37, and that was basically down to the chopper gunner. Got about 20 kills from it alone.

I was playing on Terminal with my friends in a Private Match, we were doing Shotguns Only/Headshots Only/ Only Nine Lives. They were all using the Automatic Shotguns and 1887's and I just used the Spas. There was five of us in total and I won with 15-0, then I was crowned "King of the Spas!"

Ever played "Michael Myers"? Fun game. TDM Private match, 10 minute timer, 1 life.
1 Michael Myers has to knife all other players before time is up. Last player left can kill Michael Myers.

I always dominate my friends in knife-fights, and if they can't knife back, all the better. I always win.

I hate painkiller so much right now.

I got bored and decided I wanted to get a nuke or two with precision airstrike/stealth bomber/nuke..so I joined a match of TDM,all was going great i was 23-0 and i decided to start running around with my sniper for the last couple kills.

Well I got an easy quickscope then for my last kill i saw some guy and threw a semtex at him and stuck him..then I assume he will die so i get ready to call in my nuke ignoring everything around me(game was almost over,wanted to make sure I got it in before the score limit was reached) Turns out sticking someone with painkiller doesn't kill them..what the hell? I don't care if you're on pain pills..if i stick a 'nade to your face you're going to die! :c

So yeah,he turned around and shot me after a semtex stuck to his face blew up..so fair.

/endrant

Yep same thing happened to me when I tried getting my first nuke. Except I sprayed the guy down with a striker which still didn't kill him. That's why I only play hardcoe game modes now. Painkiller doesn't make them invincible.

I've never been a fan of hardcoe for some reason..it seems so unfair that shooting someone in the foot is a 1-shot kill.

I sure do hope they make Painkiller 2x health instead of 3x,though..

Would make it where sniper headshots/semtex sticks/other things that should kill always no matter what could kill,but would still make you pretty much immune to noobtubes and body shots..seems more fair then being a tank for 10 seconds after spawn. :/

I mean it's better than having to shoot someone five times in the chest with stopping power. I just don't like normal core because the hud annoys me.

Meh,i find normal core a lot better in this game about quick kills,every now and then i get a BS hit marker with a shotty or sniper,but it doesn't bother me as much as being shot across the map with an M9 pistol in the knee and dying.

Got into my first argument today.Some guy joined my game of sabotage with like 3 minutes left.He was complaining about how everyone on my team svcked including myself.I was not doing bad and finished at 21-15(last death from team mates nuke) not my best game but still acceptable and I finished second in the lobby.The complainer was like 3-7 or something like that and he would not stop.So instead of muting him I just told hm to shut up and stop blaming everyone else.He then did the usual LIVE tough guy routine.So I kept playing for 2 more matches against him and he never went positive.He ended up arguing that I was glitching care packages and he said he was going to file a complaint. :facepalm:

Thats what I miss about 4,you have a problem with someone?Then you invite them to a cage match and teach 'em a lesson.

I don't recall cage matches ever teaching idiots a lesson. They just say "lol I'm still better" or "you just got lucky."

Still, it's best to just mute everybody who isn't on your team. :shrug:

Actually, the .408 Chey Tac (aka intervention) IRL packs a larger punch and more penetration damage than the .50 calaber anti personel rounds of the barrett. It also has a better range. I believe it is currently the longest range sniper in use.

BTW, I watch the military channel ALOT!

Anyway, here's a range chart from wikipedia:

5.56x45mm 300?500 m
7.62x51mm (.308 Winchester) 800?1,000 m
7.62x54mm R 800?1,000 m
7 mm Remington Magnum 900?1,100 m
.300 Winchester Magnum 900?1,200 m
.338 Lapua Magnum 1,300?1,600 m
.50 BMG (12.7x99mm NATO) 1,500 to 2,000 m
12.7x108mm (Russian) 1,500?2,000 m
14.5x114mm 1,900?2,300 m
.408 Chey Tac > 2,400 m

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.408_Chey_Tac

Same here and I guess you just hear all the stories of the Barret ripping people to shreds and think its the strongest.Watching the Military Channel stuff on the Chey Tac blows my mind.The damn gun does the calculations!!!!Thats the gun for my math hating butt.


Alll in all though COD really destroyed the sniping scene in MW2 I don't even know any good spots.

Just went 30 and 4 in one ffa match and then 30 and 8 in another.
