No Quickscoping Means Less Players in Black Ops?

One of the main components of Modern Warfare Two that is popular amongst players is the ability to quick scope. Regardless about your views on the matter, it’s a big reason why many people play the game...

[RayRay36]

Quick scoping is retarded. I dont think people realize all your doing is exploiting the aim-assist. Hopefully they take the aim-assist off period. No more gay snipers and no more BS kills. Well... You know what I mean...

[mordakai8]

if you watch gameplay of black ops, you can see quick scope footage, so clearly it isn't that much removed

[xHarvey]

They said that it's going to change for the final version of the game. They're going to gimp it even more.

[AKissFromDaddy]

@xHarvey

Where's your proof?

[-Alpha]

No, he's right, the community manager of Black Ops confirmed it via Twitter

[TheBlackSmoke]

Buh Buh it waz my own leet skillz! whats aim assist?

[BulletProofVess]

but if you look at this game and compare it to the originals it continues to get more and more casual with every new release

aim assist
knifing
killstreaks
op secondary's/primary's mp40 ump burst guns
etc

quick scoping wasn't that bad as most of the maps were too small to sit back and snipe or "hardscope"
i think to gimp an already underpowered class is a bad decision
as sniping how many think they should just resulted in hit markers

[ChineseDemocracy]

*Less noobs

[DaCajun]

If as you say the maps are to small for snipers to hardscope as you call it then maybe sniper rifles should not be in the game. Why put them in a game and make them overpowered just to have them in it, other than to be annoying.

Personally I think with the size of COD maps the only weapons in the game should be medium to close range weapons. There are other games out there better suited for sniping either that or maybe they should design a few large maps for COD to utilize sniping but don't see that happening anytime soon since COD is all about the instant gratification.

[MasterGuru]

Some of my friends are canceling their pre-order, so yeah, I believe less people will play it although the vast majority will still be there. The aim assist doesn't help much. If you actually TRIED quickscoping, you'd know what I mean. To quickscope, you need the analog to be precise. Your target must first be in between your crosshairs and after that is done, you have to zoom in and adjust to where your enemy is and BANG! There is nothing assisting you so YOU ARE WRONG.

Some people will still like to think snipers depend on the aim assist a lot because some snipers are just so precise, it's unbelievable. The only thing that is affected by aim-assist is the normal guns all of you tards use like the overpowered M16 or the AK.

[TengkuAmir10]

Well, I changed my mind. I'm not canceling my pre-order. The community would be nothing without me. So, lets play Black Ops when it releases. I swear in the name of my God, I'll camp so HARD, everyone will get annoyed. Trust me, I'm a really good player when I don't camp and when I camp, I'm an EXTREMELY good player. Claymores are my friends and I get pwn all of you as usual with my Chopper Gunner. What setup should I use?..hmmmmm...I'd take the M16 and use an RPG as a secondary..Like it or not..Imma do all of that just to piss the community who banned quickscoping..Sorry guys! Happy gaming on the 9th!

[frostypants]

Quickscopers get their shot off without ever actually looking through the scope and they do not have to make any manual adjustments. You might THINK you are, but the game is doing it for you. Sorry...it's not your l33t sk1llz.

[Heisenberg]

" I'm an EXTREMELY good player. I get pwn all of you as usual with my Chopper Gunner. Like it or not..Imma do all of that just to piss the community "

Oooo... I bet that line gets you laid all the time huh? ...Actually to be honest I didn't understand a word you said, I'm usually fairly adept at translating 'Angry Geek' to English, but yours seems to be of a strange, thick, douchey dialect, that I simply cannot understand... What a shame

[Spydiggity]

they should just take sniper rifles out of FPS all together. nothing says coward like a noob in the corner sniping ppl while everyone else is getting their hands dirty. learn 2 play

[Mmmkay]

snipers are supposed to be far away.....

[Spydiggity]

which is why i said they should take them outta the game. no sniper rifles. not leave the sniper rifle in there and then run in the middle where the ppl with real skill hang out.

snipers are noobs in every console game i've ever played. as soon as you get on em, they're done. they rely on you being distracted by someone else (that actually has some balls) to get the kill.

in every game that likes to brag about its physics on console, sniper rifle always seems to be the exception to the rule which is why they are so effective. every other gun must be shot more steady for accuracy...but not the sniper...you can be running around like an idiot and still zoom in completely steady and shoot a dude in the foot and you get the kill. it's a no skill weapon for no skill players.

[Panthers]

^^ Then you never played Socom 1 or 2. Those games has sniping right. Quick scoping was nearly impossible, and if someone ran up on you, you had to pull out your pistol.

[kparks]

#1 master.. no1 cares about u or ur gay friends i could care less if u play or not! And i have done plenty of QS and it does aim assist u idiot!!! AND#2 Tang STFU dude i wish could catch u in a match and kick ur ass keep trash talkin BS out of here ur kd is prolly under 1.00 like the rest of the ppl that talk trash they all suck

[xHarvey]

@AKiss it was posted here on N4G.
Heres the source

[iPad]

The quickscopers are literally crying and act like it's the end of the world.

Lol. Have you guys seen the commentaries on youtube?

[Gamer_Z]

nope. post a link

[thesithfreak]

because they are very well aware that they suck ass without it

[SonyPS360]

Guess they'll have to use some strategy, timing, and actual skill to be a decent sniper instead of exploiting an easy-mode aim mechanic.

Poor babies.

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

Also the level of Campers is ridiculous, most MW2 Campers/Noobs will move to Black Ops, will be again infested with the worst.

[zeddy]

how about a mode were you can quickscope so all you pussies who got this fun gameplay removed dont moan? there was plently wrong with mw2 but quickscoping was way down on the list. last stand for example, you kill someone yet they're still alive, you waste some extra bullets and arent garanteed to kill him, he kills you and someone else steals your kill tell me thats not more annoying than getting quickscoped?

[frostypants]

It's not more annoying, because it's far less common than quickscoping, and it's also not an exploit.

Quickscoping, as it's an EXPLOIT and not an intended feature of the game, is technically against the Live terms of service. I report people who do it.

[Soldierone]

Lmao, you mean you quickscope a guy he falls into last stand, since your too noobish to switch to a handgun or be smart enough to aim down, he kills you before you can get the gun aimed.

Never had an issue with last stand.

[ReservoirDog316]

Just stay in mw2. Everyone else will get black ops. You won't be missed.

And that's exactly right RayRay36. Quickscoping (in CoD at least, don't know about anything else) is 99.9999994% aim assist. There's no skill involved.

[TengkuAmir10]

Then why isn't everyone quickscoping in MW2? That list also includes you. How did you not quickscope in MW2? COS YOU WERE NOT ABLE TO DO IT. ADMIT IT. IT TAKES RAW SKILL. Tell me what's the "skill" in using the M16 or the AK? It's fully automatic, no skill about it. SNIPERS TAKES SKILL. Maybe I should challenge you now and see if you're as good as you sound.

[wsoutlaw87]

if it takes such "raw skill" then why are there so many people who do it. I did it on my first time. you just have to be looking in someones direction and you get a kill the aim assist is way easy. If you actually thought your self a good sniper then you would play a harder game. Everyone else doesn't do it because its gay. who wants to use a sniper to run around and kill people up close. it doesn't make any sense so it shouldn't be in the game.

[ReservoirDog316]

With qs, all you have to do is look in the general direction and the aim assist does the rest. That's all there is to it. Normal sniping takes skill.

And I don't like the ak. Never liked the feel of it in any game. And I'm not saying I'm the greatest player ever. I'm good but not anywhere close to great. I just don't like exploiting things. It's not my style.

And I never once ever tried to qs. I snipe occasionally but I don't go for overpowered stuff. Grenade launchers, qs ect. I just stick with smgs or the fal.

And I only play mw2 with my friend. Mainly throwing knife fights. So I'll have to decline your offer. Sorry.

[homer]

You only play MW2 with your friend? I sense bs. Anyways, play Battlefield and Medal of honor if you want awesome snipers. I don't know if you can qs with those though.

[frostypants]

Quickscoping is all aim assist. You THINK you're in control, but you're not.

Quickscopers are like a baby in the backseat with a toy steering wheel that thinks it's actually driving daddy's car.

[ReservoirDog316]

Haha, trust me on that. I only play with my friend. We haven't played in awhile though cause she started college. That's the only reason I'd play mw2's multiplayer. I don't even like multiplayer!

[cyberwaffles]

its hard to balance a COD game. i mean the snipers and shotguns are essentially useless because the assault rifles, even SMGs and LMGS, can drop anyone within a few hits and offer far range.

i felt bad for all the snipers in MW2 (to some degree) because the maps were so small and the assault rifles covered just about any range on the map. and then the shotguns are useless because no matter how small the maps are, people with the assault rifle have an immediate advantage over you as long as you have a decent amount of distance between the opponent.

i know this is off topic, but i think halo reach achieved a perfect balance with their weapons. each weapon is actually useful for their range-specific intentions. you can't use the assault rifle in full auto-long distance range like you can in COD which allows the sniper rifle to prove its usage and the shotgun has an immediate advantage close range like it should.

[kparks]

u do alot of shit talking hit me up on mw2 if u got a ps3 and ill record it and post me kicking ur ass all over n4g dont even bother if ur kd aint over 2.00

[avengers1978]

If you need quickscoping to do well then maybe MP shooters aren't for you.

[cyberwaffles]

and now with a collective gamer...AMEN!

[soccerstar]

they have to be joking, quickscoping was one of the many reasons my friends and I quit Modern batshit 2 a long time ago

[ThanatosDMC]

Bunch of noobs...

[cyberwaffles]

dumbest article headline i've read in a long time. seriously, is the kid 8?

[princejb134]

quickscoping is so fake
like common i see people quick sniping from accross the map and hitting their target

[solar]

aim assist is an exploit by itself.

thank you consoles /s

[Sabre_G]

The people who used quick scoping will just find another ability/hack/glitch to use to make the game unbalanced. It just will be a matter of time before there are a list of new terms to replace quickscoping, tactical insertion boosting etc.

[crzyjackbauer]

exactly there will always be some crying gang of n00bs yelling about something the get pwned with
they should just be no aim assist at all
its way too easy to get kill just aim near the body and pull the right trigger to get auto aim

[Soldierone]

Yeah making the game harder isnt a good idea. Look at Medal of Honor. It actually requires a higher amount of skill and is a bit harder. Nothing but complaints from the COD noobs.

[samoon]

I don't see what's so unbalanced about it. I don't hate it, but don't like it either. Personally, I've only seen quickscoping occur in private matches, in public matches, but only ones that are sniper lobbies.

[gtsentry]

i only quickscope in private matches for fun,or if i feel like playin around in real matches

[Ace Killa 08]

thats good 2 out only 189927 to go in the whole CODMW2 players that are currently playing. Seriously theres more than just private matches and i have been in SnD matches, FFA, Ground War, and TDM i have come the average quickscope idiot every now and then, and very few have i come up with the whole team trying to do it. but its out there, not just in private matches; if it were then it would be still in Black ops

[xYLeinen]

All I can say is that the quickscoping community is very large.

[Beahmscream]

And I couldn't care less about em! :D

[TengkuAmir10]

No but Treyarch does! You don't get the money, remember??

[edhe]

What would Treyarch care? they're going to get millions of sales off th eback of mw2 anyway.

[cyberwaffles]

yeah, its suprising how so many people are literally addicted to quickscoping. met so many players online where all they do is have private matches for quickscoping. i think thats the fucking lamest thing on the planet to do in a FPS. how is that even fun when you're really not earning your kills?

[ultramoot]

No auto-aim means better quality of players. 'Nuff said.

[RememberThe357]

Better quality of players means less people playing. Just saying.

[LarsoVanguard]

Good. Turn the unskilled off quickly, I say, so they lose interest and junk up another game.

[Ares84PS3]

Quality over quantity.

[Garrus_Vakarian]

The bad people can just go to Reach and armor lock it up.

[Oldman100]

They should make it so that the higher your rank the less aim assist is available to you. So when you first start at level 1 you have full aim assist and as you progress to max rank the assist will reduce every level until you reach the max rank. When you're max rank you'll have no aim assist what-so-ever.

[duplissi]

^ or just turn the aim assist off alltogether... if i have the option its one of the first things i do(medal of honor gives you the option). you will find it difficult at first but in the end you will be a better player.

aim assist has no place in competitive multiplayer, campaign i can somehow understand.

aim assist for the fucking loss.

[ilikestuff]

nope theyll find another way to get cheap kills, sandbagging sons of bit ches

[CommonCent]

Hopefully not. From what I've seen so far the game is pretty solid. But so was MW2 before it was released and weall know how that hunk of shit turned out..

[ilikestuff]

agreed my man, i pretty much had a full on boner for that game and it left me with blue balls. ive been disappointed alot this gen

[ddurand1]

Id shoot those assholes in the face anyway so it doesnt matter.

Glad theres no quick scope though.

[ASSASSYN 36o]

I could care less. I am passing on black ops. Modern warfare left a bad impression.

[HungPHATx]

MW2 sucked

[MGRogue2017]

It's addictive as hell.. same as Black Ops will be. I don't understand why people continue to mock MW2. I see nothing wrong with it apart from the hackers being on it.

The game itself is somewhat of a technical masterpiece.. running at 60fps, lots of crossfire, explosions, fast multiplayer action.. What's not to like??

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

MW2 didn't suck, the community suck.

To much campers and noobs is ridiculous. Black Ops is no exception to have a community like that.

[ReservoirDog316]

It's said easiest like this: mw2 just brings the worst out of people. Terrible community for an above average game. Singleplayer sucked though.

[HDgamer]

single and multiplayer sucked. I didn't know I had to download over 20 patches to get the game to work correctly beforehand.

[cyberwaffles]

the foundation of MW2 just sets up for a community hackers, noobs, and campers. the game focused way too much on killstreaks and about half way through a match a majority of all the kills are contributed from them. i've seen guys finish 60 and 5 and its not because they shot the opponents themselves, they just camped somewhere on the map and got an 7-11-etc killstreak and call in choppers, air strikes, bombers, etc. hell, the care packages were an easy way to get high killstreaks without actually deserving them.

the number one thing that i hate about MW2 is how people can steal your care packages or how a map has nothig but choppers and air strikes constantly occur throughout a whole game. i know i can't be the only one that gets tired of dying right after spawning.

[gtsentry]

people say mw2 sucked but go back to play it either for fun or just to play with friends.

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

No, you can't enjoy the multiplayer with that kind of community.

[ddurand1]

I do daily.

[duplissi]

really? i traded it in weeks after i bought it... on day 1

[ddurand1]

yeah I play hardcore mosh pit with 4-6 friends every night and its a blast.

[MGRogue2017]

No, Losing quick scoping means that the game will be much more fun for the players out there who like to play fair & not take advantage of the auto-aim system..

[CommonCent]

So true.

[PyReX-]

You're just mad cuz those snipers owned you and you tried quick scoping too but sucked at it.. and you're over here complaining.

[CommonCent]

When trying to make a point mature people don't use the work owned.....

[meatnormous]

When I see snipers in wasteland, I go coldblooded pro, sneak behind them and throw a knife at them. I will crawl half the map just to do it and they get so pissed. I don't like snipers at all, especially the ones with a thermal scope. You see meatnormous in a room, watch your back cause I'm crawling up behind you. Quick scope is bs, I can do it very easily, but it just isn't as fun than a throwing knife or c4.

[PyReX-]

When trying to make a point people shouldn't misspell words....

[foss3]

what a stupid article

[White-Sharingan]

Everytime i try to find the video they are talking about...it gets deleted!!!!!

[Craptain_Steel]

If you don't buy a game that you will probably love because you can't exploit a game mechanic, you're a massive dolt.

[dirtydbz]

see for some reason the only time mw2 quickscoped for me was in the single player player game unless there was a way to go in and manipulate it in the options I wasn't using quickaim in mw2 online

[artdafoo]

Who gives an eff ? Sniping as a whole is wack in all COD games. You don't even need a sniper rifle in 75% of the maps cuz they're so small. I snipe with my LMG and ACOG. I laugh at dopes running around in MW2 sniping at people 75 feet away. Try sniping at people 500+ yards away in BC2. Then you can brag about your QS skillz.

[Call_me_Ishmael]

yeah sniping in bc2 is awesome in that game they really implemented snipers well

[HDgamer]

BC2 sniping is the best except for the recoil. Everything else is just spot on, dynamic dust in your eyes.

[Call_me_Ishmael]

actually i tried qscoping myself with sleight of hand pro steady aim pro
and stopping power pro and it was pretty hard to do i got a 20/12 kd,it was
really hard to go running around and not get scoped by campers.

[Gamer_Z]

honestly if people are so upset about it than just stay on MW2 its not like your going to be missing out on anything special. To me all they did was balance the game out and removed some of the glitches from MW2 and added some new modes and guns. Anyways quick scoping never bothered me in MW2 if you were fast enough to kill me with a sniper up close before i unloaded on you than you deserved that kill.

[SSKILLZ]

Quick scoping is for noObs that cant handle online and require the most powerful weapon to use as a normal gun to get kill because the cant handle online.

[PyReX-]

Yea... you suck at this game.

[JeffGUNZ]

How does that make suck at the game? Where can you conclude from ANYTHING he wrote above that he sucks at the game. How old are you? Listen little kid, when you grow up and get in the real world, people are going to express different opinions than yours. You are never going to get anywhere when you take a difference in opinion like a five year old.

[im-12-years-old]

Yeah he must be a child.

"Hurr you suck because you can't exploit aim assist liek me durr"

[T3MPL3TON]

No Quickscoping Means Less NOOBS in Black Ops?

I fixed that.. however the answer is no either way.. Noobs and boosters will always find a way. They live to mess the game up for everyone.

[Holeran]

Fantastic, get rid of the cheap players.

[artsaber]

Put the FarEye Sniper rifle from Resistance in this game, lol. Slow down and shoot.

[awi5951]

Console shooters have mad aim assist. Turn that off and your skill are crap you cant hit the side of a barn then. All shooters need to turn that crap off if you cant shoot then you should miss. And it would stop alot of this spray and pray thats in shooters now. Fire a real gun like that at full auto and watch your bullets go everywhere but the target.

[artsaber]

The shooter community won't allow such. They tried to make Killzone2 resemble more of a "real gun" handling. You think this is bad? There was an armada of whiners asking for a COD style of control. That was the beginning of fixing a multitude of issues that made shooters wayyyy to easy for those who claim "skill" when in fact shooter controls enable the otherwise handicapped instead of making players learn skill and get better. I understand games need to be accessible, but shooters for 8 year olds are annoying.

I have stopped playing COD, I may pick up the new one, but I skipped the last one. I think I left MW with like a 2.09 kill to death ratio. IMO, that is damn good without cheating or glitching. If everyone on your squad kills 2 for everytime they die, you CANNOT lose.

I guess I'm saying that I've never used auto aim or quickscoping (especially intentionally). IT TAKES AWAY FROM THE JOY OF THE GAME. Not just for myself, but others.

Nothing feels better than coming into a random match, playing against a team who thinks they are the shit, who plays as a squad together daily, and you go on an HONEST 26 kills and ZERO death streak, making them tuck their tails and run away - using PURE SKILL. You feel like a damn video game ninja with a gun. This joy has been robbed from the game.

[kparks]

u cant turn aim assist off i tried to do it on mw2 cuz it kills me sometimes when i run into 2 ppl and it aim assist on the guy running away when u need to kill the guy lookin right at u 1st!!!!

[360nPS3rTheSAME]

it was the sloppy controls. It was a technical issue and there's all sorts of proof out there confirming it. Look it up

[Saryk]

As a PC player, I never use the scope since I suck at sniping in all games. I prefer machine guns like the SAW, so this is a non issue for me. Wish they would do something about the noob tube also.

[artsaber]

I rarely used them. I preferred the SAWs, etc. myself - it was my favorite loadout. It was the reason I didn't use sniping rifles, I could snipe headshots across the map with a small burst tap from a SAW.

If they removed Noob Tubes, you'd lose at least 30 percent of all players. It is the preferred weapon of the least skilled. The "equalizer" if you will.

[Saryk]

Not disagreeing with you , but I think noob tubes are a crutch. The unskilled will be unskilled by using this weapon. If they bite the bullet (pun intended) and get practice on regular weapons, the better they will get. And don’t take my earlier post as a complete removal of the grenade launcher. I would just like restrictions on the use of the noobie doobie toobie.

[Jason143]

cod always will be a no skill game. Removing quick scope isnt going to change a thing. You can still kill somebody by shooting them in the foot so whats it matter

[Alcohog]

Still is a game for the casuals, that hasn't changed.

[Xander756]

Quick scoping takes no skill on console. Noobs equate it with skill because they want to feel like they are good at the game by doing it. It is really easy to pull off on console thanks to auto-aim so anybody can do it.

[_Q_]

I always thought it was a glitch in the shooting mechanics of the game. A player would quickly do a spin and the game would compensate by auto aiming on the player they were aiming at and because of the power of the Sniper rifle it would instantly kill the targeted player. I've seen countless replays where the sniping player absolutely does not have a straight shot yet kills the target. I say good riddance if that is true. Learn how to shoot your gun straight. Funny enough, fighting against people who used this tactic only made me faster with my MP5 =P

[DaddyPoppa]

Quick scoping by no means gives snipers some sort of advantage over someone using regular guns. Quick scoping is just a tool used by players that enjoy getting cool killcams instead of playing competitively in a public match.

What treyarch fails to realize is that its the Quick Scope community that supports CoD games the most, it the Quick Scoping community that plays Cod games till its next one comes out.Honestly before i discovered quick scoping my k/d was about 3.10 and i was rapidly getting bored of mw2, but then i seen an OpTic video and it amazed me what they where doing with a sniper, so me and my friends did priv matches practicing until i became super acurate with qsing,it took me about 5-6 months to get there and I did. it took me about 2 weeks to get good with an smg in Cod lol.

Maybe Qsing was alittle to easy in Mw2 ill give you that but dont you DARE call it a cheap way to get kills, UMP45 are cheap, "NOOB"tubes are cheap STEADY aim and comando are cheap.But Quick scoping something that takes the most skill and practice to do in Cod and is definately not cheap

Definition of Quick Scoping

people that quick scope, all there doing is Scoping in quick!!! thats it, theres no dark wizard magic involed. there doing the same thing "hard" (and i put that in quotes) scopers are doing in a quicker time. And Time is something thats extremely important in call of duty.

Auto Aim= Auto What!?

can someone plz tell me where i can turn up my auto aim because thats something i cud have used in my earlier days qsing LOL. Honestly auto aim is something that i see prevalent in AR and smgs not in sniper rifles. So to the people that say to qsers "learn how to shoot a real gun!!" go screw yourself... as a matter of fact challenge yourself, go into a pub match and use your fav Ar or smg and then the next match Qs only, tell me which game you did better in. try it a few times and then come back to me saying Qs is all auto aim.

In closing, dont mock the qs community by saying it takes no skill or that its "stupid" or "dumb". You dont have to like it but you do have to respect the time and effort us quick scopers did to get good at it.

[_Q_]

I never said anything in the above was fact. I was SPECULATING look up the word. I said if its true, good riddance. That means i'm NOT sure at all. I'm sorry that you felt so compelled to write a novel counter pointing my SPECULATION. I'm sorry, I didn't know your superior community within a community were such whinny defensive babies. It's a game ,all for fun. If someone is using a seemingly cheap tactic to ruin the experience for others who play the game straight up, I don't want to play games with them. The only reason I would figure it's cheap is due to countless jerks online who live to cheat. Get the hell over it. I barely play COD anymore anyway. I was just popping out a thought. If I'm wrong..oh f@cking well. I'm not losing sleep over it like you seem to be. Thank you for correcting me. Insulting me first then writing a book doesn't help your point, it makes you look like an ass. God the main page is full of idiots...

[Xander756]

Daddypoppa you are wrong. You do have an advantage quick scoping over normal guns because sniper rifles, by and large, are one shot kills. When you combine this with the fact that there IS auto-aim on consoles, quick scoping is a tactic used by noobs. On PC it takes skill because there is no auto aim. In consoles, it doesn't.

Yes there is auto-aim on console shooters. Oftentimes you do not notice it but there are instances where you can see it at work. Playing CoD4 recently I was aiming at a guy across the map with a red dot when an enemy sprinted in front of my sights. When this happened, my sight magnetized to the guy sprinting and as a result I ended up missing who I was actually shooting at. This happens all the time in Halo 3 as well. You can feel your sights "gravitate" towards people.

This is something developers put into shooters on console because there is less precision control than on PC. PC gamers don't need this because of the exact precision a mouse and keyboard gives. Analog sticks on a controller allow for less precision and so a slight auto-aim assist is put in to allow the game to be playable. Without, console FPS games would be severely lacking.

On Call of Duty games this happens a lot more because they have that "snap" feature where you can quickly look down the sights and if it is even close to an enemy it will snap onto them. Remember that from boot camp in the campaign? Well it works in multiplayer, too!

[DaddyPoppa]

lol im fully aware of the so called aim assist your talking about. and your being completely unfair comparing the aim assist in single player to the aim assist in Multiplayer.In multiplayer it does gravitate to a close player but it does not lock on as it does in single player. and aim assist can be completely understandable once you factor lagg and the fact that console gamers do not have have the tools pc gamers have to utilize to get precision shots like you guys (aka a mouse).

As far as aim assist with quick scoping goes, qsers are never that close to sum1 to make use of aim assist, plus most qsers (well the good ones anyway) play with ninja and not steady aim so the crosshair are far to large for aim assist to pick it up. I used a sniper rifle long enough to know what im talking about....

[DaddyPoppa]

in all honesty, i probably shouldn't have replied to your post, everything i said wasn't entirely directed at you, but i will say this: Dont make false assumtions to something you never tried like soo much people on this website do. its not fair to say something takes no skill when it takes players that Qs a hell of a long time to get extremely good at it. Basically without me writing a novel, dont speak about something you know nothing about, because believe it or not other people read what you say and take on the false assumption that qser are no good cheaters. And i could probably guess you got your assumption on Quick scopers from other idiots on this site aswell...

[Killa_Cobra_ST]

To all those saying QS requires raw skill... It doesn't I never quickscoped before and thought wth I'm gonna try and I was pulling them off out of no where on my first attempts

I think in all honesty if anyone is cancelling a pre-order just because of how you intend to use 1 type of weapon in the game, then thank you for not being part of the Call of Duty community - we don't need you! This isn't QuickScope of Duty and the game will have more to offer in multiplayer than any other previous CoD, so cancelling a pre-order is your loss and no loss to Activision...

honestly a lot of my friends on my psn friend list dont know anything about black ops but are going to buy it.id say alot of people will buy it not knowing quick scoping has been taking out.i couldnt care less about quick scoping all i care about is single player and zombies

[Soldierone]

Not gonna play because your noobish perk is gone or toned down? good, we dont want you to play anyways.

[TheBalloMan]

honestly, I don't care: I never did get to grips with sniping, and I always hated noob tubers - so I was stuck in the middle of two two largest factions in MW2. Actually, I'm glad that Snipers won't play - now I can use an assault rifle without being called a "noob" for some reason T.T
I wouldn't mind snipers so much, if only they didn't think they are the ONLY form of skill in games, and disregard everything else like an insolent child.

To all you haters, what's the hardest way to play:

Run around and spray without any kind of accuracy with a SMG or

Run around with sniper and use timing and precision and quickscope?

You guessed it, quickscoping is harder.

Treyarch is taking a piss at the sniper community with this bullshit.

*Quickscoping community

There are people who actually snipe in these games.

[skip2mylou]

idc when your sniping and you get a freaking little prick who scream "ohhhhhhh what a f@ggggggg hardscoperrrrrr, go and get some real skillzzzz fagggototttt. and then they challenge you to a 1v1 and you win and they still call you a hardscoppppperrr faggggoooootttt

SO go and suck a dick quickscoping community

[simplymigs]

Pfffft, I quickscope with my magnum in hardcore tdm/snd all the time and no one complains.

*trollface.

[ballsofsteel]

no offense but the reasoning behind nixing quick scoping it stupid. they say that it's cheap and takes no skills to do it, which i agree with but do you know what also takes no skill? noob tubeing and running around knifing people with marathon lightweight commando, getting cutdown by someone with a thermal scope and loads of other stuff. its fine that they cut it out but don't saying you did for skill reasons cause all the crap i listed above should be ousted too

[Simco876]

Goodbye quickscopers and good riddance

[PSWarlord]

This is one of many reasons, I'm not getting Black Ops!I'm currently in the KZ3 Beta and never going back to this noob infested bollocks. Especially when those greedy fuckers are trying to sell it for 42.99 at my local asda at the moment (Preorder)!Cod:MW was great....Cod:MW2 Average (But getting abit boring now)....Black Ops properly better but same old shit!

[DanSolo]

lol it makes me laugh when people complain that something like quickscoping is being removed from the game...

ffs people try using YOUR OWN SKILLS to actually play the game. It is not like the game is realistic at all, but still actually try shooting guns the way they are shot in real life.

While they are at it, it would be nice if they just plain removed aim assist... I mean come on.... fvcking help aiming a gun? What are you a bunch of girls who need help in dishing out an a$$ kicking? When I am online shooting people in the face, I'd rather know it was my skills that got me my kills, not the fact that I can exploit a noob assistance mechanic like a pu$$y!

[ExposingLames]

less snipers maybe....all the noobs and casuals will eat this game up and it will be a huge success

COD is a noob game...it does what its supposed to do....anybody that denies this is a fanboy or an idiot.

[kelixaleir]

Quick scoping on the CONSOLE is easy due to aim assist but on the PC it is alot harder see as though the lack of dedicated servers make most games quite laggy, Meaning unless you are fast you will die in less that a second.

Stop complaining over the fact "its an exploit". It's not an exploit TYVM
