Barrett for the Hero?
Everyone wants the Barrett. Dev's think it will be overpowered. But how about this: a person that selected as the Hero, if he was originally using a sniper rifle, got upgraded to the Barrett sniper rifle instead of the FAL? It would let the community test out the gun, and the devs could get some feedback on whether people would want it in other modes and/or if it needs to be nerfed. And in HM, not MM, it's not going to be all that overpowered anyways: it would still take basically every bullet from a 10 round magazine to kill even an average mutant. And since those bullets are shot at about one round every two seconds, it really isn't even useful to keep one mutant at bay. In other words: the gun isn't effective at all if people can't work as a team, and if you've ever played HM, you know that most of the people there could use a lesson in teamwork. This sniper rifle will build life skills of the entire Cross Fire community, and better the world as a whole.
TL;DR: Barrett sniper for the Hero, community can try it out and say yay or nay for other modes, and it will teach players the importance of working together.

I would love to see the Barrett used in HM and personally would love to try it out. I think, with a decent team and a hero that isn't a complete noob, that the barrett would do great in a game of HM. The gun itself is indeed a high cal. gun and would do a lot of damage to the mutant. Also, if it were to be used in other modes, would it not be a one hit kill just like the AWM? It would basicly take the AWM's place and would be a great gun to add. Very nice idea.

AMAZING idea.
But, maybe they should have both the weapons to allow them to chose whether to use a Rifle or a sniper.
Like, give him the ability to change bags anywhere in the map. It's VERY hard to use a sniper in HM/MM especially if you're not in a good camping position. So the ability to change might be useful to the hero.
BAG 1: FAL
BAG 2: Barrett
(Reduce FAL ammo to balance out the BAG changing ability)
TooLONG!?!?: Add the BARRETT +100. -

I agree with this wonderful idea! +1
Their shouldn't even be an excuse to bringing that weapon ''Beretta Sniper'' because we already have so many OP weapons, example; Gatling Gun, M60, M12s & more. So we should also be fine with having this damn sniper in our version. If this was to happen for HM-Mode, then Hero should have the option of bag 1 & 2 like someone suggested. Having the option of choosing FAL-Camo (Bag1) & Beretta 50cal Sniper (Bag2) would make everyone want to play HM Mode lol.:D -

Berreta = Italian Pistol. (Weapon creators/designers w/e)
Barrett = A powerful sniper.

Anyone else?
Remember, if the Hero only got the Barrett while using a sniper as a primary, and only the Hero got it, there wouldn't really be any balancing issues as far as damage to mutants goes. Also, since he would already be planning on sniping, he'd probably be in a more sniper-friendly spot before SHTF. I know that when I snipe in HM and get chosen as the Hero, I usually have to run towards where the action is happening to get the most use out of the FAL.
If snipers got the Barrett, and everyone else got the FAL, it would basically eliminate that issue: when you get chosen as the Hero, you just get mutation armor and a bigger, badder version of the gun you started with. (With the exception of shotguns, although an uber-shotty wouldn't be too bad either now that I think about it...) This way you wouldn't have to worry about changing you're entire strategy changing at the beginning of the round: it's bad enough needing to be ready if two or three people standing standing near you become hosts, but when you don't even know what type of weapon you'll have... well, yeah. -

What's this link then?.. There are weapons with the same brand & synonymous name, but it depends on what ''type'' of weapon your talking about. I was talking about ''Sniper Beretta'' implying the 50cal sniper rifle. It's what most of us all want on our CF version.

Hopefully one day in the future we will get it. -

The name of that video is probably a typo. Barrett Firearms is an American company that produces mainly high caliber sniper rifles (M82, M95), and also one or two assault rifles (REC7). Beretta, also known as Fabbrica d'Armi Pietro Beretta, is a different firearm manufacturer located in Italy. They are best known for it's pistols (M9), but also produce everything from shotguns to SMG's (M12), and even the standard issue service rifle of the Italian Armed Forces (AR70). -

i actually agree with your idea more. If you are a hero, you can select between bag 1 and bag 2, FAL CAMO and Barett Sniper -

Thanks for the lesson!:D -
best idea ever, now everyone will play with a sniper rifle in HM and it would be even more easier for the mutant to win.
the point of the hero is to help the soldier to win, not to rely on your team to get some kill in a camping spot.
there's so many flaws in your idea, it will never happen. -
This gun will make killing mutants too easy... I'm not too sure about this idea.
do remember that if it isnt a headshot they respawn in HM, therefore, many people wont get the headshot kill..so really it doesnt matter :P hero cant camp as well with the barret either cause it's not an AR so he cant just spray at a cage opening :P so ya, it's not that bad of an idea. -

Isn't there a time limit for the mutants to kill the soilders before the soilders win the round?
I don't pay much attention, this mode is just a pointless version of a terrible game type. So yeah... Not sure why I even care. -

DEFINITLY!!
Cause you know, this change will "Better the world as a whole"!!!
Seriosly? Stop being full of yourself, this change will only make people angry in HM and probably cause people to complain really badly.
If anything, they should just implement it into the game, not make it a "experiment".
