    Buff:
    Should be 1-shot kill.

    Nerf:
    Increased recoil, 2x slower rate of fire and reduced accuracy. Slower reload and reduction in hip-fire accuracy.

    There you go.
    Old barrett, only more commonly used and it takes more skill.

    YES.
    This idea doesn't make the Barrett terribly overpowered or underpowered, it's basically a mini Iso that has its advantages and disadvantages.

    I'm not so sure, even though it sounds balanced. I'd rather have the starting ammo capacity of the L118a and Barrett switched, along with swapping the fire rate. Your idea also sounds nice.

    I really think the barret needs to be more op 'cause have any of you seen a 50cal round? There HUGE, and can shoot threw walls so i think that the barret needs to deal more damage

    Would you happen to have any specifics stat wise?
    I like the sound of this, it would make the Barrett a weapon that's actually useful.

    The problem is that there's one too many snipers. We have a balanced one (L118A), a semi-auto and it's upgrade (Dragunov and MSR), and one that is unique (Dissassember), and a one-shot-kill sniper (L120 Isolator). This leaves basically no room for the Barrett to fill in. I'm guessing that the developers didn't want to remove the Barrett, so they just made it into a clone of the L118A to act as a "filler". The shotguns also suffer from this problem (M1014 and SPAS-12 are too similar, SPAS-24 is useless overall).

    Make it one shot kill. since when has anyone ever been able to survive these?

    [​IMG]
    Never. It is NOT possible to survive a hit from a bullet that is the size of a dollar bill. but the barrett would need to have A LOT of recoil to balance it out, maybe the moddels recoil

    The Barret is supposed to be a one-hit kill and semi-auto, but it's not hard to understand how unbalanced this would be. In my opinion it should get more damage (one-hit kill) and get more recoil and a slower firerate. The barret in real life has 10 rounds per clip, should this also be taken into consideration?

    Or we could remove entirely, and add a more valanced gun like MK11 Mod0? It's like an SVD with more ammo :V

    @Credo007lv I kind of agree, but i think that the one shot kill is kind of OP.
    Off topic: why haven't you played in like 3 months but still make a thread about it..??

    I play on my alternate account from time to time.

    The reduced overall stats make it more balanced. 1-shot kill should be something special about a weapon, right?

    Oh god, that'd be another possible gun that could be used for OOM.

    The mc-war barrett is based off of the M95 which is a 6 shot bolt action .50 cal so yea, if it was a m82a3 like the warz Barrett then it would be OP as all hell

    It's based off the Barrett in the MW series, which is the M82A1 variant.
    At least, it's supposed to be.
    It feels more like the M98B from BF3 minus bullet drop, though.
    But still, the idea of giving a .50cal sniper rifle a OSK is a pretty good idea. If a .338 round can kill in 1 hit in MC-War, shouldn't the .50 BMG do the same?

    Accuracy shouldn't be decreased.

    I was speaking of reduced no-scope accuracy, not of the scoped accuracy nerf. It's just so that nobody can hip-reck.

    oh ok you i got confused 'cause you said, "reduced accuracy slower reload and reduction in hip-fire accuracy." i figured since you mentioned hip fire, you were talking about aimed accuracy
