'Spartan wrote:;4067415']Dude whats your problem on every thread like this you are whining about it,they removed it because its was against there rules and it's like targeting religion if they didn't,z8 would have been sued,can u sue them from not bringing your kukri vip.
OP,yeah z8 hate everything they make Barrett awful,don't know what it gives them.
You'd have about as much chance winning a case about either.
You do realise any case would have to be made against SG and heard in Korea? And even if you wrongly "sued" you'd have to sue G4 in Canada?
No court case would be heard in Saudi Arabia or Egypt or Somalia where the law favors idiocy like this. -
Barrett >
As of right now the M82 has almost no advantage over the FRF2. And if you can aim half decently, you won't need the one hit kill anywhere on the body. The Barrett is absolute trash in this version. Let's be honest, most people wanted the Barrett for Mutation Modes. So currently I say stay the hell away from that sniper, the FRF2 is much easier to use, the scope magnification makes for easy sniping. Maybe if enough people complain they'll change it, but right now I think people should stay away from what they think are good guns, because z8 is likely to change them. Wait until you know the stats next time...Not to say that the M82 doesn't need a buff. It absolutely does. -

True True True,
But I'm not the only one who wants this.
I personally don't even have the gun, I'm just wanting it to be changed. -
I think the Barret itself is fine, Z8 makes it nerf on purpose since they don't plan to bring it to NA version in the very 1st place, but when they do, they want it less OP, since if it is just like other versions, Wallbang + speed + high damage, then no one want other snipers beside Barret. In sum, every gun should be balanced, the 2 M4 VIP is way OP now, we don't need another super OP sniper.

Balance is in all aspects of a gun rather than just damage I hope you understand this.
Theres:
Weight
Recoil
ROF
Pull out
Reload
This Barret is meant to inflict insanely high damage that's the point of adding this gun to the game.
And with the power the gun is downgraded with slower reload, heavy weight, slow drawout thus making it balanced, in fact perfectly balanced. -

Yes, so thats why it has M700 dmg in HMX right? ^^
And thats also why AWM, a GP/FP item can get more kills then a ZP crate weapon? -

I meant balanced in regular modes if you read my earlier posts it's obvious underpowered in HM/MM, insanely so.
Z8 just punk'd all the Barret "buyers" or "winners". -

Yeah, we MOST DEFINATELY need a bump.
I have a very very very good one right here. Since Barrett is considered as a HMX, it is extremely dumb to nerf it. In normal modes, it is quite heavy (nerfed too), slower draw speed (lower too), so quickswitching is quite hard. Also, with the other Barrett variants, VIP in particular, no one would bother buying it for weaponary use because it doesn't even function in the mode it's suppose to function in. I think either they have to buff all Barretts in Mutation variants or just buff VIP version. -

Great explanation ^^ -
Won it the hour it came out, love the sniper but its too slow to use on any small map, only maps that it can be used on is black widow and festival.
However, the barrett needs the regular MM/HM damage, its pathetic how CrossFire NA is such a **** version and I can't play other versions.
The sad fact is, they won't do anything about it, all they care about is $$$. -
I haven't played with it much other than a little with my friend's but it seems pretty slow and clunky to me. I'll take my FR or AWM any day. So, it seems since the only thing really making it "OP" is wallbang and OHK to any hitbox. That's hardly an advantage over other faster snipers. It'll come up occasionally where wallbanging someone in the toe is relevant but those situations are pretty rare. It seems only fair that it'd do super high damage in MM and variants. The AWM fires a .300 magnum round as opposed to the Barrett's .50BMG round. Not that reality has any bearing on an FPS videogame but it should at least be considered somewhat, no? I don't care how badass a mutant you are, a .50BMG round to your head should vaporize it regardless of whether it's an anti-material round or what have you. For some perspective the Barrett fires the round on the far left. The AWM fires the round next to it(2nd from left)
Logic would dictate the round on the left should do more dmg.
I guess what I'm saying is... +1 -

Good points Sir! -
I have encounter myself the Barrett. I do say as for it's look, it has way to be a fashion model. But like the old saying "never judge the book by it's cover", it's action really makes want to route to another gun then the Barrett. Why? like Xbox mention it's defect.Hey, CrossFire Community!
The Barrett M82A1 fires .50BMG Anti-Material ammunition, which the most powerful ammunition caliber. It is the only sniper rifle that can 1-hit kill anywhere on the body with full wallbang damage. In HMX, Barrett M82A1 proves to be a valuable sniper rifle as it can score 3x damage against mutants (max 5000 damages with Headshot, min 1000 damage with leg/arm shot (Except CF NA, it has been nerfed). However, this gun is very heavy and take the longest time to cycle the bolt, making it not much more useful than regular sniper rifles in TDM/FFA match.
The Barrett M82A1 has been HEAVILY NERFED here in CF NA.
It suffers from ~
-Slower Reload Speed (compared to other versions)
-Slower Movement (compared to other versions)
-Slower Draw Speed (compared to other versions)
-Slower Firing Speed (compared to other versions)
It has HORRIBLE Damage in Mutation Modes like Hero Mode X/Hero Mode
-The AWM Deals 1600 Damage while the Barrett does 400 Damage (Head-Shot)
-The AWM Deals 800 while the Barrett does 400 (Body Shot)
-The AWM Deals 400 while the Barrett does 100 (Leg Shot)
I feel like the Barrett M82A1 Deserves a Buff in Mutation Mode Type Games.
Why?
-Rare (Black Market Item not easy to win, which wouldn't make it "overpowered")
-Slow (The Barrett M82A1 Shoots 33/100 times as fast as the AWM, yet the AWM Deals more Damage)
-Made for Mutation Modes (Barrett M82A1 was designed for these modes such as Hero Mode/Hero Mode X, so I don't see why it's so weak)
Please post Opinions Below, I just wanted to see what the community thinks about this gun and what the future of it should be.
Thank you,
Xbox?
I would rather see a buffed on it's action, beside HM/MM/HMX but regular mode. So other snipers won't have the edge over the Barrett with it's slow delivery.
Overall it is indeed a good sniper for my past experience.
