The Victus XMR: A Carryover from Modern Warfare 2

First things first, if you're familiar with Modern Warfare 2, you'll recognize the Victus XMR. It's one of those snipers that made the jump to the newer game, and is unlockable via the Carry Forward system if you have already unlocked it in MW2. What's interesting is that, despite the facelift, the gun's core feel hasn't changed much. Most of the snipers in Modern Warfare 3 share a similar vibe when it comes to damage, though some tweaks have been made.

Victus XMR in MW3: Buffed or Nerfed

Despite the sniper's stats seemingly untouched, there's a subtle nerf at play. Here's the deal: Modern Warfare 3 decided to increase player health bar to 150, a 50-point increase from MW2. This was a move to slow down the time it takes to knock out opponents. Despite this, the one-shot headshot remains a reliable move.
