I am what you know as a Barretard :P. However, I don't particularaly mind the new start up time, but I think I have a suggestion to maybe make it a bit more usefull, although I'm sure some people can get very skilled with it quickly.
When standing OR moving = Current Start Up Time
When Crouched = Either 50% or 30% less start up time.
When Prone = No start up time whatsoever
By using this method, Snipers could become much more effective, but still not being able to be ninja soldiers with perfect aim and one hit kills each shot. Or if not ALL the time, perhaps even just for reaslistic mode. I understand that Barret was becomming too overpowered, but now it's maybe underpowered. I just think this is something to think about.
