I haven’t even checked the camo challenges yet because I’m still trying to level it up but now that you said something about it I’m not looking forward to it
For everyone saying it's easy, it's not particularly hard, you just have to play in a way no one wants to play. Wait and suprise people. There is no skill in no scoping, it's flashy but 90% luck if you're any distance away from the enemy player. I got it done ages ago, one of the first guns I got gold but can't say I enjoyed it.
@@godlovesyou1995 I DID get close. I proned in the center lanes of Shipment and waited for people to come flying around corners. Got in done in 2 games on Tier 1.
the most balanced sniper, used to be my favorite but recently i’ve found that the other 3 snipers are better jn S&D if you put yourself into the situations they’re best for (XMR for long range, SPX for short/mid, signal for holding a narrow lane)
@@HeartTribe that’s exactly what i do. not promoting myself but you can probably click through some vids on my channel and see how/when i use each one in S&D / Knockout.
I kind of like the MCPR, but I have found that once you get the attachments unlocked for the snipers, they’re all much of the muchness. They’re all good, it just comes down to which one you prefer to use and are better with than the other. Personally, I like the LA-B the most, I know others are really into the SP-X, and for Warzone, the Signal is king. After this video, though, I think I’m going to revisit the MCPR and see if I can come up with a fun build. Maybe iron sights, maybe canted laser.
I’m surprised you never mentioned that this is the only sniper rifle that has an iron sights option. How would you change your aggressive build, if at all if you were to add that instead of the VLK 4.0 optic? The iron sights are also a unique attachment, so stats for that, if any, would be appreciated.
I really don’t mind the MCPR. Great one round kill areas up to 57 meters and it has a 10 round magazine by default, which is a lot for a bolt-action gun in my opinion.
This might just be me but I really do love using the bolt action snipers and quick scoping with them but without using any big ads improvement attachments, like I might use a different scope that has a reticle that I enjoy more than the default one but that's about it. There's really no deep reason behind it, but I do think it's pretty funny quick scoping people with a default build rifle
Yo ace, i was wondering, since ur now covering the snipers, could you take a look to the optics? Because most of them says it improves the ads (and holographics on victus and signal mentions improvements on aim walking movement speed) so i wanted to know if those stats were accurate or not
When it comes to the balanced build, I would sacrifice the bolt for something like a suppressor, or maybe one of those scopes with the same zoom but faster ADS (they exist).
Don't even care if the mcpr-300 isn't the best sniper in the game I use it because it's the best looking with the smoothest re-chamber and reload animations
Which is better for Aiming Stability: Lasers or Flashlights? I've been using the last flashlight to get the sprint out bonus as well as stability. I don't have the patience that you do for testing, but I feel like the stability bonus of the lights is similar to the lasers. Plus, you aren't contributing to the laser light show that every match turns into. Have you compared the two at all?
This is my favorite sniper after the Lynx. I'd like to point out, I'm pretty sure (correct me if I'm wrong) it's the only "Sniper Rifle" (Non-marksman rifle) that can use the canted laser to let you aim by using the laser. Its super fun to run with, especially because I think it looks and sounds better than the marksman rifles.
An absolute must-have with snipers/marksman rifles for me is the flinch resistance rear grip which makes it so much easier to win fights while getting shot
The best build I found for quick scoping at least is this build, Use the Schlager 3.4x optic, FSS OLe-V Laser, 17.5" Orca Barrel, FSS Merc Stock, and to make this gun good at range use the .300 High velocity, if not than use the 5 round mag for max speed.
For 6v6 I go for max ads reduction without using laser or changing the optic with a the faster bolt. Besides the signal 50 and xmr I run the other 3 snipers the same.
I believe this is the only sniper-rifle that allows iron sights, which is fun... I've built it slightly differently for proper sniping tho, but to be fair, this time around most sniper-rifles are pretty much interchangeable... only one I dislike is the LA-B, better off using one of the marksman bolt action... XD Cheers
This gun recenters better than almost any of the other snipers plus the 10 round mag makes it super fun for quickscoping. The marksmans, the Lynx, and the MSR are still better but I still like this gun.
imo for the balanced build the cornerstone bipod wouldve been the best move instead of the bolt. unless it secretly hurts ads speed, it functions as a very good way to eliminate sway if youre hanging back or wanting to prone, and the only thing it states that it hurts is ads walking speed, which, who really cares.
This gun also is the only sniper rifle that has the option to use iron sights as an attachment. They’re not really practical, but sometimes I enjoy using it like a juiced up SPR lol.
I know that this weapon doesn't have explosive ammo, but for the rest of the sniper riffles I would like to see how explosive ammo can affect the perfomance of the weapons.
I must say, long-range sniping on groundwar was pretty fun with all of the snipers. Especially after onlocking the scope from the victus with the rangefinder. Gonna countersnipe these rooftop campers
SP-X80 is better for 6v6, but MCPR is awesome for DMZ/WZ. Yes, Victus has more range, and I’ve used that too, but overly long shots just aren’t that common, and the default 10-round mag of the MCPR is critical when using scarce ammo in the DMZ. Also, I was using the long barrel on the MCPR but have since dropped it and haven’t notice any discernible difference. Bullet velocity with high velocity ammo is more than sufficient. FTAC LOCUS SP scope for the win.
My favorite gun, has laser, ironsights, and if u have the awful anime sight on it covers like the whole screen, making it look hard to use, lots of fun and custumixmzation!
Only reason I don't use this snipers is a feel for 6v6 you always want a midrange optic, and with the MCPR you can't change optic till level 20 :(. I pretty much only use snipers with the BPZ40 Hybrid.
I set this rifle up with anything that would give me the longest damage range and use a bi-pod for stability. I then use it to pick people off who are camping on rooftops or in windows in invasion or ground war. I get so many people cussing me out in the death coms and post game chat. I'm not going to apologize. I use bolt action rifles the way God intended.
Where is the recommendation for the old man sniper build?!?! I have a quick scope build for this using the 5.5x zoom, but I also have a old man sniper build with dual zoom scope 7x & 13X and for some maps I can camp and sip on beers.. its great. Why can't we have the extreme builds on both ends of the spectrum? I have aggressive builds and slow camper builds and it is fun to mix up strategies on different maps.
Hated leveling this one for one reason. Doesn't unlock optics until lvl 20 and its terrible to use on shipment with that base scope. Since then I've rather enjoyed it honestly. I really wish I enjoyed the unique irons more honestly.
While I want to like the SP-X better, the MCPR just feels like a mans sniper. It makes the SP-X feel like a strong Marksman Rifle. I love both but enjoyed this thing so much I neglected those hip fire kills so it took like 600 to get gold. Only gun I was sad to get gold and move on. Thanks IW for giving us good snipers this year (and no Dragunov). We have 3 great and 2 good ones. Hell, the LA-B would be the 2nd best sniper in Cold War for the first 7 months. It's the worst Sniper but still usable, with the best sound IMO.
I don't use most of these guns and I mostly play WZ but I watch every one of these vids because you put in so much work and its such a reliable data driven review
The SPX80 is the superior rifle in every way except two areas, mag size and default scope. The MCPR gives you a whopping 10 base mag and a much nicer default scope.
I love the MCPR-300 it's this and the SAB-50 I prefer using The MCPR for classic sniping and the SAB for aggregate sniping and I feel powerful wirh both weapons personally in my opinion but the Victus XMR is one big pain in the butt for double kills I'd rather deal with the MCPR's hip fire kills instead
wait I thought high velocity rounds increased the velocity by like 40%, why does HV on the MCPR only take it from 780m/s to 850m/s? Truegamedata says the velocity should be north of 1100m/s
I think you are way too focused on ADS speed, its not the end all be all. Plus having a quick ADS for sniping isnt that important unless youre quickscoping and the only good sniper for that is the SPX.
The MCPR-300 does not shoot .300 Win Mag. It shoots .300 Norma Mag. You can see that when in game, and the bullet accessories are not compatible with SP-X 80 (which shoots Win Mag), too.
does the canted laser give just a static ADS bonus and not give the iron sights ads and the laser bonus? I was using that to avoid the bulky scope until I got the scope attachment slot
Whoever made the camo challenges for this gun deserves to have their pillow warm on both sides
I haven’t even checked the camo challenges yet because I’m still trying to level it up but now that you said something about it I’m not looking forward to it

Pro tip for anyone working on the hipfire camo: Go prone to reduce your hipfire spread.
Also, play Tier 1 to avoid hit markers.
You can also slightly aim your weapon and aslong as your not completely ADS it should count. That’s how I got it done
Normally not worth it with the lesser mobility. You need to get close.
Youll also have no aim sensitivity.

My hands-down favorite sniper in MW2. I got the "Watchdog 141" blueprint from the CDL/Twitch drops when it first landed, and I was sold ever since.
That blueprint is legit out of the box. I remember throwing it on my loadout to goof around when I first unlocked it and went 24-2 on Embassy

Doesn feel like iron sights make it ads faster
Honestly they are so bad, especially for a sniper, that they are not worth it
On a side note, I love the way this gun sounds
I really don’t mind the MCPR. Great one round kill areas up to 57 meters and it has a 10 round magazine by default, which is a lot for a bolt-action gun in my opinion.
While it may make me a terrible person, I absolutely *love* using the canted laser on the MCPR. It feels just scummy enough to be a whole lot of fun!
I think it’s decent and also it being the Barrett mrad makes it fun to use
This might just be me but I really do love using the bolt action snipers and quick scoping with them but without using any big ads improvement attachments, like I might use a different scope that has a reticle that I enjoy more than the default one but that's about it.

MCPR with the Orca Barrel was an intant fave for me when I started leveling up the gun. It has since become my go-to quickscoping weapon
it was my go to gun up until recently i’ve been feeling the victus for quick scoping just cuz it feels so smooth
@@palmer1461 I'll be sure to check it out

smaller scopes will improve ads but w victus i like the mcpr or spx scopes i find they are the smoothest
@@palmer1461 not necessarily true
The 13x is faster than most, the raptor fvv
When it comes to the balanced build, I would sacrifice the bolt for something like a suppressor, or maybe one of those scopes with the same zoom but faster ADS (they exist).
It sounds cool thats for sure! They DID nail weapon sound this year, even if most else sucks
I agree, I think it's the best looking sniper rifle and the sound is music to my ears with this one.
Was stoned asf when I first used this sniper and the firing sound and animation absolutely sent me. A very satisfying gun to use
Arguably my favorite sniper in most situations. It’s a great do it all gun
Don't even care if the mcpr-300 isn't the best sniper in the game I use it because it's the best looking with the smoothest re-chamber and reload animations
havent played MW2 in months but i still tune in to every single one of your videos! keep it up
Try the SZ Bullseye optic. Same ADS speed as the VLK but it's 6x zoom and has very small glint. It's a chore to get it unlocked but well worth it.
Gotta love the slower bolt hurts a lot but the faster hardly helps
Sounds like a ton of attachments in this game
it's great because of the default 10 mag, that way the 5 mag gives ADS speed, and you have another attachment for DMZ
Which is better for Aiming Stability: Lasers or Flashlights? I've been using the last flashlight to get the sprint out bonus as well as stability.

An absolute must-have with snipers/marksman rifles for me is the flinch resistance rear grip which makes it so much easier to win fights while getting shot
This is my go too sniper for any game mode, sometimes the Victus but this one has the best scope and just consistent overall.
This gun with ads attachments along with the canted laser is one of the most fun things in the game

I actually quite like this gun despite the camos. It sounds lovely
MCPR-300 is based on Barrett MRAD sniper rifle
This gun SLAPS in DMZ with the long barrel. Bullet drop is basically a non-factor inside 200m.
It's my first sniper to push for camps with all other classes done. I like it so far
I also love the 10 round mag but i use the lachmann impact scope over the smooth bolt. You don't gain any ads but it's a cleaner sight imo
Easiest way to get the hip fire kills is to lay prone on shipment. With a hip fire build. Makes that zone about torso sized.
The Mrad is basically the greatest precision rifle ever created
One of my favorite sniper rifles.
It's good fun using the canted laser sight on it to for an aggressive build
For 6v6 I go for max ads reduction without using laser or changing the optic with a the faster bolt. Besides the signal 50 and xmr I run the other 3 snipers the same.
On Sym. I noticed that there is also an "EXIT ADS" stat. It messes with my timing. I would rather use the stock scope and the ADS focused rear grip.
I believe this is the only sniper-rifle that allows iron sights, which is fun... I've built it slightly differently for proper sniping tho, but to be fair, this time around most sniper-rifles are pretty much interchangeable... only one I dislike is the LA-B, better off using one of the marksman bolt action...

Iron sights on this gun are so much fun especially if the enemy has a mic just listening to them rage when I hit them from a decent distance
This was my last sniper to get gold. It's a ton of fun with the canted laser sight on it as well
Let’s gooo been waiting for the snipers
I think the short barrel works great on MCPR in 6v6, even with the standard scope.
This gun recenters better than almost any of the other snipers plus the 10 round mag makes it super fun for quickscoping. The marksmans, the Lynx, and the MSR are still better but I still like this gun.
Fun fact, you can put the canted laser on this sniper. Pretty sure this is the only one that you can do that on
if you want to snipe aggressively u need to run the ads grip it makes u so mucb faster
I love the Iron Sight on this thing. You can get an even better ads with Iron Sight I bet
imo for the balanced build the cornerstone bipod wouldve been the best move instead of the bolt. unless it secretly hurts ads speed, it functions as a very good way to eliminate sway if youre hanging back or wanting to prone, and the only thing it states that it hurts is ads walking speed, which, who really cares.
I got a 407m kill with this on a ground loot gun on warzone map. Best snipe I've ever had
Instead of the bolt, you could run the underbarrel that improves aiming stability with no downsides
This gun doesn’t have the sharkfin available, otherwise I would’ve gone for it
This gun also is the only sniper rifle that has the option to use iron sights as an attachment. They’re not really practical, but sometimes I enjoy using it like a juiced up SPR lol.
I know that this weapon doesn't have explosive ammo, but for the rest of the sniper riffles I would like to see how explosive ammo can affect the perfomance of the weapons.
Best sniper in the game imo, I prefer this over the victus for long range feels more consistent and I have to correct for bullet drop less often
I must say, long-range sniping on groundwar was pretty fun with all of the snipers. Especially after onlocking the scope from the victus with the rangefinder. Gonna countersnipe these rooftop campers
I remember what i did going for camos. I would lie down and fire from the hip in the general direction of my opponent lol
What luck! Just moved onto snipers and started this gun! This will be helpful.
It's also the only sniper with the canted laser attachment.

They should buff the smooth bolt cause 2 RPM improvement is really useless, both in multiplayer and WZ.
This is one of the best sniper in the game imo.
This thing is lethal on ground war and specially DMZ.
i would like to point out that the Listed ammo for this Rifle is wrong it is not chambered in .300 Win mag but .338 Norma Magnum
I don't know why this gun has a hipfire challenge, but I did it on shipment and barrel stuffing people
I tend to forget that stacking in a stat like ADS, has diminishing returns.
Thx I removed the bolt, and added the stock 👍
