I was wondering if the ACOG sway for each sniper was a constant among all sniper rifles?

I thought putting an ACOG on a sniper eliminated idle...

That it does not I usually use the WA2000 w/ an ACOG and it sways, but it is manageable. With the lag I can never seem to get head shots w/ the M21 w/ ACOG. I do not use SP I'm a CB kind of guy.

It appears that the ACOG mimics the idle that existed on the weapon.
So the Intervention will idle more compared to the WA2000 and M14.

Ah so the Intervention is utterly "outclassed" in the end eh? Question 2 then is: in your opinion which sniper rifle possess the least amount of idle? I don't see a difference between the other 3, but my eye is terrible so...

From my exp (and im not a sniper) the ACOG has the exact same sway as the natural scope.
In CoD4 the ACOG had less sway then the natural scope, I'm glad that's not the case in MW2!

intervention = better scoping animation = better for quick scopes

According to my informal testing, the Intervention appears to have the fastest reload speed, fastest time switching from your secondary, and tightest bullet spread (mainly due to the delayed fire nature of bolt-action). As far as I can tell, these are the only advantages the Intervention has over the other guns.

Intervention reloads individual rounds instead of a magazine, which makes it good for snipers that reload after every shot. The practical ROF of the Barret while sniping seems to be roughly equivalent due to the recoil, though I think you can pull off a second shot just a bit quicker, with a bit less accuracy for trying to do it right on the tail of the recoil.
Barret's biggest advantage seems to be ammo, though you can spam it if you're desperate, but a secondary weapon would be MUCH better.
As for ACOGing and so forth I couldn't tell you. Both weapons seem to be outclassed by the WA2000 and M21 EBR, though, only getting a greater 1HK area when using SP without a Silencer, and even then it's down to preference.

Oh I also found that the recoil between the two is rather different. The intervention seems to pop and than relax back into position while the Barret lunges up and to the right way off target, but then comes back again rather quickly. The Barret's recoil is more jarring, but also more predictable and for me I was able to be more accurate on my 2nd shot ad the crosshairs fell back towards the aim so fast that the idle didn't bother me as much as on the Intervention.
But it's still a personal preference thing.

Actually, the intervention is bolt-action AND reloads from a magazine, so when the magazine is empty a new mag reload is required. I'm not sure if that's what you mean but I just thought I'd clarify. I think with the Barrett, the closer range the target is, the quicker you can get off the second shot (since it's easier to hit). At point blank range (heaven forbid) you can actually spam with the Barrett fairly reliably to score the kill. |

My bad. It does reload faster though.

The intervention is a lot quieter if you're sniping without a silencer. The Barrat has a massive flash and sound.
