Quick Scoping Overpowered? CoDs 4-Black ops

[TheMigrantSoldier]

Quickscoping is a very controversial tactic and I understand all of the hate for it but since when is quick scoping "Cheap"?

Becuase you basicaly use it as a shotgun and use the aim-assit in a way its not meant to be used.

Since you can one-shot an enemy with a sniper rifle before they can get a shot off with their assault rifle, smg, lmg, knife, pistol or anything.

 

[TheMigrantSoldier]

Well put it this way: In MW2 when somebody comes out of nowhere, you have a very little chance to hit him/her and even if you do, you have a chance of getting a "Hitmarker". Plus why is quickscoping cheap when there are weapons like the Spas or the M16?

 

[Croix Sinistre]

I think its hated because so many people think they are 'totally pro' for doing it.

Really its like being able to play the opening to Iron Man on guitar and claiming to be a god

Because you are using a long range weapon at short range, giving you a one-hit kill. Yes, shotguns do the same thing, but you can't use a shotgun at medium and long ranges. Basically, with quickscoping you turn your rifle into an all-purpose weapon against all realistic properties, with it being capable of one-shotting at any range.

No, you cheap bastard, no.

 

[TheMigrantSoldier]

Also, people who quickscope at close range are more prone to commando lunges.

 

[TheMigrantSoldier]

Call Of Duty has NEVER been a game about realistic long range sniping. The maps are too small and someone with an assault rifle can easily drop you. The only thing about Call of duty that's true sniping would have to be Seelow and maybe Array.
Oh and I hate those arrogant 13-year-olds who go: HARDSCOPE!1

This was fine in Call of Duty 2. Why is it so different now?

Are you referring to the overpowered death cannons of CoD2 known as scoped rifles?

Treyarch got rid of quick scoping, or so they think.
ACOG on a FAL or M14 and the sleight of hand pro perk. Quickscoping exists on the psuedo snipers that 2 shot.

Well yeah. People will still try to quickscope so Treyarch didn't completely eradicate quickscoping.

 

[daemon37]

I've never played any of the Call of Duty games, so I looked up quickscoping. Wow, yeah, that's not at all how a sniper rifle is supposed to be used. People who do this kind of thing online in competitive multiplayer games are jerks.

Play the game the way it was meant to be played or GTFO.

Like I said, Call of duty was never a series meant for realistic sniping. If you want some realistic sniping, play a Battlefield game or that game "Sniper: Ghost something".

Put an ACOG on a sniper and it works just as well.

 

[Crazyjay]

because it does nothing to the sniper. quick scoping aint cheap, its just the way that noone can move really fast unless sprinting that it becomes so easy just to kill everyone by doing it.

 

[spartan1077]

Since you can one-shot an enemy with a sniper rifle before they can get a shot off with their assault rifle, smg, lmg, knife, pistol or anything.

With any automatic weapon, anyone who gets the first shot in wins.

This is not a fair argument because if people with almost any other weapon get the first shot in then they will most likely survive if there are no outside factors.

Actually, in CoD, the automatic weapons take around 20 shots to kill someone while no matter what the sniper is one shot.

''How it is supposed to be used'' is not an option in Black Ops from what I can tell.

This is a terrible argument on every account.

Not everyone wants to play the way whatever the designers want you to play.

It's not how the designers of the game made the gun, it's how the designers of the gun made the gun. Normally, I stand by fun>realism, unless you're trying to make a game where fun is derived from realism. Such as a FPS based in the real world.

 

[Zhukov]

The ability to quick-scope makes sniper rifles unbalanced. It makes them lethal one-shot kills at close, medium and long range.

It's not that bloody complicated.

 

[Lord Habbs]

the worst thing about quick scoping is the fact that you'll pop some prick running around with a sniper rifle from long range and the'l send you a message saying "HARDSCOPING NOO0000BBB!!!111"

Pardon me for using the gun the way it was designed for...

but it doesn't matter any more because the quickscopers ruined it for all snipers and trearch have made sniping next to impossible now

This is an arcade shooter though.

Unless it was highly overpowered(Which I doubt...big time), this really shouldn't be an issue.

But it's still a shooter. If it's a war game, you at least expect the weapons to behave somewhat realistically. If you quickscoped with a sniper rifle in reality (or any rifle, for that matter), the bullet would go wide... sort of like how it does in the game. Huh.
