How to save Call of Duty 5 from crapness

The Barrett XM-109 is no ordinary sniper rifle. Try imagining the accuracy of a regular sniper rifle in your FPS, only with the attack power of an Apache helicopter. Yup, the equivalent of a Hellfire missile from Desert Strike in your hands. With a scope on it. That's not just a bang, that's a frikkin' KABOOM. Packing enough punch to destroy even lightly armoured vehicles at 2,500 metres, we reckon we'd save it until we met one of the inevitable racist idiots on Xbox Live. Hey, Dickweed - eat this.

Above: Yup - a helicopter's worth of attack power with every shot. Aim carefully, now, we don't want any accidents
