Poll: On quick scopers

[vallorn]

Im not going to reply to you ever again, akimbo anything ruins everything.

here here. Akimbo was an awful idea that was just meant to pull in the Halo crowd.

I stopped playing MW2 when they started talking about adding pay to play multiplayer to future COD games.

It was a step in the right direction. That game was horrible community-wise. So is any form of Halo. And Gears.

Hmm... I think I'm just gonna stick with single-player from now on...

I have no real problem with it, but I have a problem with their "YOU'RE A NOOB UNLESS YOU QUICKSCOPE!" mentalities. I fail to see how enjoying playing the game differently from them makes you a less skilled player. (Note - "that's how I enjoy playing the game" does not encompass tactics that originate from the game being downright broken such as OMA Danger Close)

Yeah. I wouldn't have as much of a problem with it, it would just simply be a tactic, but they're all comically large dicks!

If you use SMGs you're a sprayer, even if you hit more shots than you don't and spend less than a sixth of a clip per person.

If you use shotguns you're a sprayer as well.

If you use assault weapons, you have no skill. Somehow. Even though the AR section has two battle rifles[footnote]FAMAS, M16[/footnote] and a combat rifle[footnote]FAL[/footnote].

If you use pistol(s) you're trash. Even though they're the hardest "primary" to use, and the worst secondary. Still fun to use, though.

And the list and insults go on. And, if you quick scope too, and you're as good as them, or worse than them, you're simply a noob, and if you're better than them, you're a hacker!

 

[Kinguendo]

Erm... no. It isnt the perks that are the problem, its the aim assist thats the problem. THATS why quick scoping takes no skill, if you quick scope on a game that has no aim assist then fuck me thats skilled... if you do it on one that does then fuck you, youre not.

 

[Ramare]

Are you talking about the slight of hand perk? how is that godawful? and really, who still plays MW2... id rather play cod4

Yes.

Because it's pure evil. Ask anyone who doesn't use/abuse it.

How is it pure evil to aim down the sight slightly faster? There are MUCH more evil perks in MW2 *cough* marathon, lightweight, commando *cough*

But playing MW2 spoiled me with................ and akimbo pistols

Im not going to reply to you ever again, akimbo anything ruins everything.

Akimbo Shotguns? Hell yes. Akimbo Machine Pistols? I cannot express how large the upcoming YES is.
SMGs? Very yes. Plain 'ol Pistols? I see no problem. Unless you just fire them both at the same time. Then there is a problem.

And it's pure evil, because then they can start shooting right at you as they can see you, and that's about .1 seconds after a single pixel of your body is visible, it makes LMG aim fast, which was one of it's balancing traits, and it makes the originally few and far between, fun, rewarding, and actually skillful quick scoping easy, far too common, and very very messed up.

Oh, and yes, the Commando package is very screwed up. More fun with Ninja anyway.

Come on people, there's nothing wrong with akimbo pistols...

Akimbo everything else? Worse idea than putting in Danger Close and OMA. And especially having them equippable at the same time.

the only problem with that is that not many people had the decency to use akimbo pistols. there was a nickname me and my mates gave to the PP2000. we called it the "deathray" and its akinmbo "exterminatus" because we could go entire rounds without dieing and only using the combo. it was about that time i quit from Rage and Boredom and moved to BC2 on release. i haven't played anything else since.

Oh YEAH I forgot about the God damned consoles having God damn aim-assist!

That is the main, and only reason that I hate the console people. Oh wait, never mind, they have all of the 12yr olds. We just have the biggest douches, and the "hackers".

 

[IamSofaKingRaw]

Shotguns all the way. It's the only 'noob' tactic on that list that requires a bit of skill.

Stopping Power, and FMJ don't require skill. People kill you from smg range with shotguns wth that setup.

 

[Assassin Xaero]

Campers. That is why I quit playing CoD4 online... nobody could do anything besides camp. And to all you campers out there, don't even bother wasting the time to quote this and say "its a legit strategy" (so is retreating and hiding like a coward), I don't really care.

Don't forget about Akimbo G18s AKA the Perforaters.

I'm pretty sure that it would have been much more awesome if they made it a REAL G18, pistol slot, standard 18-20 round clip, and had full-auto as an ATTACHMENT rather than standard. Oh yeah, and no akimbo.

Then it would be a sleek, stylish, sexy sidearm; with an attachment that makes it full-auto!

And then, you could only emulate the original G17 by using Bling, and using extended mags and full-auto. And even then, more recoil, faster fire rate, less damage, and a LOT less accuracy. If you could kill anything with it, you would deserve a medal.

Actually, I take that back. Enable the use of akimbo, but disallow use of it with the full-auto attachment.

since technically cs 1.6 surf consists mostly of jumping around shotgunning and i play a ton of it my favorite "noob" tactic would be Jumping around with shutguns

lol. i forgot about CS 1.6

jumpshotgunning is the way forward in that game.

 

[Wadders]

aaaaand this is one of the many reasons I now play Bad Company 2 online instead.

 

[JaymesFogarty]

You know what I got tired of? Online multiplayer. It wasn't fun; it was tedious, and frustrating, and most of the games I have played that have this mode sacrifice story and characterisation for it. I'm not even going to name the most obvious culprit. I'm free from the lot.
EDIT: On my opinion of it; I'm indifferent. Gamers should be able to use any tools the developers provide to win. They're about as annoying as anyone else with a gun.

So... I'm not trying to be rude, I'm genuinely asking you, here, but: What if gamers used a tool (I.E. gun) that has literally no recoil, very good damage, a really large clip, full-auto firing rate, and all of the weapon attachments you can have on a gun at the same time; that was accidentally left in by the developers for testing purposes, but they can't remove it for some convoluted reason, and half of the game's player base is using it?

The gamers are technically using what the developers developed. Would you see a problem with it?

No, they are just utilising what the developers have given them. If the decision is made that the gun is too powerful, and therefore is ruining fun for other people, it surely couldn't be difficult to simply patch the game to remove it. But as I typed earlier, I'm not very enthusiastic about online gameplay. I play games for the story, atmosphere, characterisation, etc. Online doesn't contribute to any of these. Not to mention that I don't have a very good internet connection, so any game I do decide to play online is annoying from the start. Plus, I've always had a problem with online. If you give me Uncharted 2, and told me to complete it on Crushing, I'd gladly do it. But I can never play online very well. You?

 

[Geekosaurus]

Getting close to people is easy.
Well, for me. No one else.

I answer the word(s) why/how, with these:

Stun grenades.
Marathon.
Ninja.
Buildings.
And tactics, to make use of cover, and close distance.

That last one is why everyone else can't use shotguns in the open.

This is pretty much all you need. I agree, it's not the hardest thing to master, but it takes practice nonetheless. You know you're good at it when you can shotgun on the non-shotgun maps; I'm thinking Pipeline and Countdown on COD4 and probably Afgan and Wasteland (above ground) on MW2.

 

[zombiestrangler]

The only reason I quick scope is because it's easier to get FMJ kills with sniper rifles that way, and it's fun to play private QS matches with friends.

 

[Geekosaurus]

Shotguns all the way. It's the only 'noob' tactic on that list that requires a bit of skill.

Stopping Power, and FMJ don't require skill. People kill you from smg range with shotguns wth that setup.

Personally I disagree. This setup might work on very close quarters maps, but it wont work on longer ranged maps. I prefer Cold Blooded, stun grenades and using your noodle as a shotgun setup.

 

[7moreDead_v1legacy]

I am confused o.0

When I feel like a noob I'll make a class with the ACR or UMP...Damn kiddies guns.

 

[Umwerfer]

Is there anyhing left in the game that you are allowed to do? I mean come on! The poll proves that the tactics(some of them) have obvious achilles heels. commando pro is annoying, but seriously, how often would the commando beat the jumping shotgun-monkey? How often would the shot gun monkey beat the camper? Excepting the n00btube, each of these tactics are beatable, and therefore legal. Now, I'm off for some elitism RTS, sayonara suckers
