Intervention (weapon)

For the level "Intervention", see Intervention (Level).

The CheyTac M200 Intervention is an American-made bolt-action sniper rifle designed by CheyTac LLC for long-range, soft-target interdiction. The Intervention system refers to a package including a range finder, computer, optics, and the rifle itself, called the M200. It is a bolt-action rifle using the proprietary .408 CheyTac round, intended to fall in between the .50 BMG and the .338 Lapua, both popular long-range rounds. The rifle is designed to be accurate even when equipped with a suppressor at over 2,000 meters. It has the world record for closest group at a very long distance. The .408 round the CheyTac Intervention is chambered for in this game is said to be the world's most accurate rifle round. It is considered to be one of the best sniper rifles ever made due to its balance of accuracy, range, and stopping power - most rifles sacrifice one or more of these qualities for another.

Campaign
In Single Player and Special Ops, the Intervention can kill any standard infantry or ghillie sniper with a single shot to any part of the body, even with a Silencer. It is found with either no attachments, a Silencer, or a Thermal Scope. etc

Multiplayer
There is quite a bit of comparison between this weapon and the Barrett .50 cal, as both weapons do the exact same damage in all situations. The Barrett's semi-automatic fire is useful in close quarter combat or when multiple shots are required. The Barrett's high recoil also resets slightly faster than the bolt action cycling of the Intervention, permitting a more rapid follow-up shot for disciplined shooters. However, many argue that the lower recoil of the Intervention allows the player to keep the sights on target after firing, and this is worth the extra fraction of a second. By the same token, this means more self-control is required with the Barrett to maintain the same level of accuracy. The Barrett also has double the magazine capacity and only has two thirds as much scope sway while breathing although the Intervention reloads much faster.

It is a common myth that the Intervention is the most accurate sniper because it is a bolt action and because the stat bars in the class creation screen say that it is the most accurate. This is not the case. In Call of Duty, all weapons except for shotguns are perfectly accurate while aiming down the sights. With snipers, this means that the shot will always hit the center of the crosshairs. The Intervention actually has the most idle sway while breathing, making it theoretically the least accurate sniper in the game.

Trivia

 * The weapon has greater and faster sway than any of the other sniper rifles found in the game. This is reminiscent of the R700 in Call of Duty 4, as they even share the same damage multipliers and status as bolt-action rifles.


 * The Intervention makes a different noise in multiplayer than it does in Single Player or Special Ops. This does not apply when using a Silencer.


 * The Intervention has an extremely effective reload cancel when reloading from an empty magazine, because the ammo count on the HUD will refill as the magazine is removed, instead of when the new magazine is inserted.


 * In the cutscene before the mission Just Like Old Times, the Intervention is referred to it's full name.


 * The Intervention is the only bolt-action weapon found in Modern Warfare 2.


 * When reloading with the Heartbeat Sensor attached, the sensor is still fully visible.


 * In Multiplayer, on the bottom right of the HUD, the visual representation of the Intervention's magazine is the same as all other Modern Warfare 2 sniper rifles. In the Single Player and Special Ops modes, this visual is shown as 5 cartridges, like the bolt-action sniper rifles of Call of Duty 4 and the bolt-action rifles of Call of Duty: World at War.


 * When reloading, it is possible to see the word "PUSH" on the side.


 * On the side, writing says "C-975 INTERVENTION MOD-D type."


 * The Intervention is the easiest to get the "Perfectionist" challenge due the fact that the gun only has five rounds in the magazine.


 * In game, a single Intervention bullet can kill up to six people.
