Poll: Quickscoping is dead? HELL YEAH!!!

[Kris015]

BURN IN HELL!! - Pyro, that is.

erm... who cares? either extreme is irritating, but we are all still going to be playing these games (black ops) no matter what developers do, so lets stop complaining and try to enjoy ourselves.

 

[InsanityBaronOfAtrocity]

In the end quick scoping was ruining the game. It's not fun to have to either learn a ridiculous skill or be killed by those that have over and over. Stops being much of a game around there.

You forgot the "Fast-running SMG muthafuckas" option in your poll, that's what I would have voted for, haha.

Although I am also glad that quickscoping is gone, I'm dissapointed that legitamate sniping was drastically nerfed in the process.

Seriously, I sniped perfectly fine in CoD4 and it was fun!

But will I be able to do that now? Possibly not.

 

[Leftyrem]

So you want a sniper rifle to stop working at close range? thats kinda dumb, it's how the gun and class works.

if you can quickscope efficiently then more power to you, figure out a strategy for beating them

are you being sarcastic or serious because the whole point of a sniper is long range ant the fact that when you aim you lock onto them makes it even cheaper.

 

[Davey Woo]

Quickscoping at close range SHOULD be pointless in FPS's anyway, at close range ou shouldn't need to aim at all, the buller is going to be coming in a straight line out of the barrel, but in most FPS's a guy can be standing 1 foot from you and you'll still manage to miss without scoping in.

 

[josemlopes]

I am annoyed that we have to wait 2-3 seconds to be able to hit the target. I dont quick scope but if I see someone far away and I aim at him I wont be counting the seconds to know if its ok to shoot. Why not make the animation from the hip view to the scope take longer instead of this akward situation?

Well in those several moments you can line up a headshot?

lol, but my main problem is that if he is on the center of the reticle he should get shot. They could also make the weapon sway more when you first aim. Its just that I doesnt make sence to have a reticle that in the end doesnt tell the player if he is on target or not.

 

[Atmos Duality]

Modern Warfare has nothing on the sheer broken power of the Sniper Rifle from UT 99'.
Near-Semi-automatic head-popper. 50 shots. No reload. Perfect, wide-view scope. 100% precision.
No spread.

Strategy? Try moving a bit. Aim for the shoulders and head.
It's ludicrously easy to get head shots even at point-blank range.

 

[Nesutaa]

I was always better at hard scoping than quick scoping anyway, so I'm indifferent I guess.

I doubt that Treyarch made the changes to the sniper class to make it more realistic; if anything, it was to create more balance. Sniper rifles, like shotguns, are situational weapons, and should carry some kind of penalty if you're going to wade into a firefight like an idiot with one.

 

[dtfyvugbhjnk]

If a sniper rifle works just as well as a shotgun at close range (and also has the advantages of being useful at all ranges and highly accurate, as well as usually being faster firing and having more ammo) then it begs the question of why bother even including other weapons in the first place?

This, this, this, this oh and did I mention... this!?
The sniper-rifle is fine... for sniping. End of story.

 

[Akai Shizuku]

There's a reason people don't use sniper rifles in close range IRL; they're really goddamn long and unwieldy. Implement that in the games and it'l solve the problem.

Don't worry, your ignorant viewpoint is shared quite commonly on this site even if it's completely wrong. You don't have to worry about trolls.

Haha i love it. "your opinion is wrong"

Quickscoping uses a broken game advantage to it's advantage.
Its that second when just aiming down the sights your aim point will automatically lock onto a target.
It doesn't take skill. It's just timing.
And good riddance. now you will have to learn how to shoot.

I said viewpoint, not opinion, if he doesn't like quickscopers, I don't give a shit, but it's the dumbass, absolutely fucking braindead idea that it's cheap.

Your aim point, does not. DOES NOT, lock on, anyone who thinks that is categorically and demonstrably wrong it takes a great deal more skill than playing with an assault rifle or SMG or any automatic weapon, seriously, if quickscoping was cheap, then people who did it would have really high K/Ds, yet the people who do it most prominently, i.e. Hutch, MoodieSwede, Small Beans, hold around a 1/5 K/D while someone like Wingsofredemption who primarily plays a defensive style using automatics holds a 4-5 K/D.

Yeah, guys.
Exploiting an aim-assist along with a perk that makes you aim super fast is super hard to pull off. Plus, it blesses Youtube with tons and tons of awesome montage videos all using that awesome song from a million years ago: 'Bodies' by Drowning Pool (Only the best song EVAR! WHATWHAT!?!).

Plus the game isn't about realism! I mean, sure I'd hate it if shotguns were suddenly accurate from across the map, or if assault rifles had zero spread when fired from the hip, but quick-scoping is serious business. My brother's dog-walker's cousin's dry-cleaner's Nephew's girlfriend's brother is a Marine sniper, and he uses quickscope in the field. For realz.

Treyarch seriously screw up this time.
And you guys have no idea what you're talking about.
I'll be off making another montage video with that same badass song in MW2.
Find me online! My gamer tag is: XXxxXXxxXXzzzzz!!!!11111quixxxsscooooopppe$$$ss$Sss4lyyyfffee!!!!12221XxxxxxX

But seriously for a moment: This news makes me happy.
Screw quick-scoping.

Almost as good as ultra joes(pretty sure it's his I am thinking of).

By the way, bodies is like sooo last year, the new stuff is any hardcore dance remix ... although they all sound the same anyway, so who knows if there different songs or just a different part of the same song.

On topic. It actually pains me to admit this but you can quick scope on black ops, I was a victim of it a few matches ago.

No, I will not tell anybody which sniper it was. (but since there is only 4 of them it wont take long to figure out)

 

[yankeefan19]

So you'd rather they just camp instead of quick scope? Cause that's whats going to happen. then people will get pissed at camping snipers.

Isn't that...kinda the point of the sniper though? Whenever I use the sniper, I camp. And even then, I tend to get killed. Granted, I suck at COD, but still, people can tell where you are.

 

[technoted]

I'm a fan of tactical sniping, take a few shots get a few kills then move to a new place with a viewpoint on my last location and get a few more kills before once again moving on.

 

[Madara XIII]

Ummm, did you forget an option?

What about stealth classes? I like stealth.

Exactly, and he left SMGs and LMGs.

Also, there are better, less heavy handed ways of removing quickscope, like lowering aim assist on sniper (it doesn't help anyway) and increasing the aim time.

Seconded!!! SMGs are My babies!!

 

[unholy weasels]

"I am disappointed to see Stopping Power leave. It was nice having a perk that all the noobs would flock to so that no one sees UAV jammer/Camouflage/Cold Blooded coming."

very true, but at the same time its makes aiming matter a far bit more. you cant just shoot low and win.

 

[Ddgafd]

Oh man, do I agree. I've been playing CoD4 because I don't have the money to buy Black Ops, but that's beside the point. I just loathe quickscopers. So many good streaks down the drain...

Also, I just LOVE it when I get sniped but the bullet went about a foot to my right, but it's still a OHK. God dammit.

 

[unholy weasels]

also the game is called camp or die... your supposed to camp, or you die.
