Thankfully, the COD XP event led to the discolsure of lots of information regarding MW3. In terms of sniper rifles, we learned that quickscoping has returned. We also got to see what sniper rifles players can choose in MW3. Here is a screenshot of the Modern Warfare 3 weapons menu, which shows the sniper tier:
Above, you can see that the sniper rifles are as follows:
- Barrett .50 Cal
- L118A
- Dragunov
- AS50
- RSASS
- MSR
Apparently, sniper rifles in MW3 will not have a random sway like they did in Call of Duty: Black Ops.
