My new favorite assault rifle...

The barrett 50 Cal..

Yes I know this is a sniper rifle, but if you add an ACOG and stability. Be prepared to have one of the best assault rifles around. I am going to try and get some resent clips to add to this. Was a lot of fun last night.

D mixx Quote from last night. "What the hell was that JK?" As I got flashed release a whole clip to get the kill.

Thats exactly why I switched off the Barret. I've never liked semi auto sniper rifles because I tend to do the same thing emptying full clips. When I use my msr/l118 its either hit or die.

I used to run this setup in MW2 minus stability. It's not for me in MW3 though.

lol Im going to have to try it lol I was playing with sniper rifles last week and about shot myself in the process lol < Not so good for my gaming performance lol:)

Honestly sniping for me is identical to Black ops sniping with the ability to get down the sights alot quicker. I snipe everday now and have gotten comfortable enough to run it full game. Usually break even or go positive. I would definitely recommend trying it, its alot of fun for me anyways.

Set up is :

MSR/L118A

Sleight of Hand Pro ( Fast weapon swap is the reason I have this)
Quickdraw Pro ( No explanation needed here)
Marksman Pro (No explanation needed here)

Lethal = Throwing Knife ( I love to mess around with these although the killcams suck)
Tactical( I personally use a flash but I think for a set up HARDscoper I would recommend a clay so you dont get flanked or a portable radar)

I'll be stunned if I can effectively run a sniper in any configuration. I'm not terrible with them but I can seem to get more than 10-12 kills a match and that will come with 20+ deaths. It's the short range combat that kills me. I can't quick scope nor no scope and for some reason I always forget to switch to secondary.

Quickscoping is all about keeping the reticle in the center of the persons body. Sounds easy but trust me its not. No scoping is random, its either hit or miss.

Just the opposite for me, JK. I have recently discovered the virtues of the thermal scope. Hated it in Blops but on the ACR it makes a fine AR converted to sniper rifle. You can even hold your breath with it for across map kills. Equip Overkill and feel free to run and gun with your SMG of choice when staying put gets boring.
