Intervention vs. Barret

This is the question everyone at least ask themselves once, which is better: the Intervention or the Barret .50 cal?

Personal preference wise, I like the Intervention better because of its looks and feel.
Since it's bolt action, it feels more powerful in your hands. I know game stats wise it is the same as Barret
but like I said, personal preference.

It's weird because whenever I use the Barret, I always get hitmarkers. Way more than when I use the intervention
so that's another reason, I would pick the Intervention.

Tell me what you think.

I like the intervention better.
but I think the 50 cal is the actual better weapon.
i talk about it in my commentary number 3 actually lol.

Lol wow way to advertise your commentary.
Sneaky sneaky.

Ive used both a lot and I actually think that the barret is better/easier to use. I like to use the intervention more though, gotta have my bolt action.

I miss he CoD4 M40A3

Intervention is better for montage-like kills as well as it looks and feels cooler tbh. The Barrett is just a lot faster and can shoot a lot more making it better for pretty much all kinds of scoping. However, the Intervention takes more skill to use in clutch-like situations.

I prefer the intervention more personally, just because when I use the barret I get shitloads of hitmarkers and also in close quarters I tend to spam the trigger like a pro.
But also I love the bolt action, it makes me feel like zzirGrizz when I get a nice triple killfeed going

Intervention is more of a challenge to me.

Yeah its the same with me, with the barret if you miss you can still get the kill easy but if you are using the intervention and playing against decent people, you miss, you die.

In my opinion the intervention is better for people that think they can get kills and stay alive. The intervention needs more skill due to it being bolt action. But the barret is better for new players that need a god gun to kill at a range and if needed spam the trigger.

I think that the barrett is more fun to play with at close quarters because you can just spray at people and really annoy them xD
but i find the intervention is a much more reliable gun, the barrett just doesn't have the same feel to it, it feels like cheating as its not bolt action.

I think the Barret is easier to use.
It may just be me, but it's so much easier for me to scope in and get the kill.
I usually stick to the Intervention just because... well because!
But I think the Barret is easier.

Here's my take on it:

The Barret is all around easier to use. The recoil is more predictable, and you can shoot faster than the intervention. I also really like the Barret with thermal for quick scoping (if you havent tried this, you should!) I actually disagree with the fact that it get's alot of hitmarkers, I think it gets the same amount. And all statistics support that, because they do the same exact damage.

As for the Intervention, it looks cooler, and I find it very fun to use. You can stay more in control especially when quick scoping, and I think it takes up less room on the screen. It is also supposedly more accurate than the Barret, and if you've played with some really good quick scopers then you should know just how accurate it can be .

Overall, I think both guns are very good, and I like to use both. I really like the Barret because of its firing speed capabilities, while I like the Intervention for showing off. And hey, lets face it, isn't quick scoping about showing off?

never asked myself, since cod4 i have hated the barret with a passion. people kept saying it was a 1hko in cod4, when i used it i got hit markers more than half the time. now in mw2 i still get hit markers like crazy with it. since the start ive liked intervention best. i'm just so used to waiting a bit for the bolt to be pulled back whenever i use the barret i lose a lot of accuracy or just get killed fast.

When i'm messing around Barret+Thermal

When i'm trying to win or playing search - Intervention regscope

Barrett should be the better gun, in reality it fires anti-tank bullets. But the intervention is BOSS.

Meow- Intervention ftw!!
But Barrett if you like fast Aiming down the Site.
Also, I like WA200, it DOES NOT GET ANY 1 SHOT KILLS> lol

Better gun: Barrett
Better for quick scoping: Intervention

I always get hitmarkers with the intervention, but not as much with the barrett. However, it seems easier to quick scope w/ the intervention so I use it.

i am close to getting my intervention mastery again, which means ill be making a barrett class soon.

Intervention. FmJ.

Never liked the Barret.. even in CoD 4. It's ugly, and is an semi-automatic sniper rifle. The only semi-auto rifle I actually liked was the Dragunov, and unfortunately that wasn't in Multiplayer. ):

Intervention - ftw. It's pretty, and I love the way it sounds.

the intervention is a fashion statement, the Barrett is better in pretty much every way.
Its like, getting a pair of white high tops w/ a louis vuitton monogran, you walk the same as you would w/ a pair of boring old Adidas'. Except because theyre so much nicer, they're more work to wear because you have to be extra careful not to scuff them. But you look so much better.

Yeah, it's silly how it is in the Campaign/Spec Ops, and not in Multiplayer.
