it really depends. if its a large map like coag or containment i would rather have the cov in case i need to get off 2 quick shots. however if the map is more mid sized like lockout or beaver creek i like the human since it has 4 shots before u have to reload and with the cov u get 2 or 3 before it heats up. however, the cov is better for up close no scoping battles since the first two shots can be fired rapidly and the shots themselves come out quicker because the barrel of the cov snipe is shorter than the barrel of the human snipe
