Q & A with Treyarch Community Manager About Black Ops

Is there any knife lunge in Black Ops? Are bolt action snipers a one shot kill even though stopping power was removed? Are the dogs a one hit kill? Will there be noobtubes in Black Ops? If there are how will they be more balanced?

These questions and many more are answered after the jump...

I can't believe they got rid of quickscoping. Total fail by Treyarch.

[lostinplace]

I LOL at quickscopers. Stick with MW2 or learn how to snipe with skill.

[DTMBSquid]

Quickscoping takes plenty of skill. Its crybabies like you that ruin it for everyone else.

@Bobiwan86,
Quickscoping is abusing the over powered aim assist in the game and takes absolutely no skill at all. Anyone can do it.

If you think you're good because you can do it then you're sadly mistaken.

Please stay in MW2. Thank you.

I don't mind quickscoping so long as there is no aim assist, but there clearly is.

Snipers=Long distance
Assault Rifles= Mid-long range
SMGs= Close-mid range
Shotguns=Close Range

If the sniper is popularly used as a CQC weapon then there is a balance issue.

For the same reason I don't see Shotguns used like snipers I do not expect to see snipers used like shotguns

what treyarc needs to do is make maps for the ghillie suit because in mw2 you can never get a clear shot because of all the grass that the maps were not made for

and quick scoping is not skill watch cod videos again they miss the majority of their shots alot people who play cod dont care about accuracy its about the amount of shots you can take before you hit somethin even hutch said that when commenting about wings

[vickers500]

Quickscoping does take some skill to get used to, however it's still a cheap and stupid tactic.

Getting good at quickscoping is like getting good at cheating. It's pathetic.

Dude quickscoping is major fail. A Sniper rifle is for longrange shooting, not for dickheads running around as if it's a shotty.

[Shackdaddy836]

Wow, I didnt know it was the WaW engine. I could have sworn it was MW2's...

The noob tube thing sounds great.

ABSOLUTELY love how they gimped quickscoping...

Basically, it sounds like every annoying thing that was in MW2 is being changed or improved on.

[xxxAnubisxxx]

Yeah, it looks so similar, I thought so too

[nickjkl]

isnt the world at war engine just the mw engine which is the mw2 engine before modifications

Dogs meet my little friend.

should ask y ps3 isnt gettin 2nd sign in id support when ps3 supports it

Some are blaming Sony. Others are saying it's laziness on Treyarch's part.

While games like LBP has it, apparently it is difficult to do.

I think this can be fixed via a patch, I just hope Treyarch takes the time to do it instead of ignoring the PS3 fanbase.

It's ridiculous that 4 years later, the PS3 is still shorthanded features by Activision. They treat the PS3 userbase as if it's not a significant source of revenue and they can just ignore us and not give us all the features another platform has for the same game. Hell, the PS3 made up for like 40% of MW2 sales, which I understand is less than the 360 sales, but it's not THAT much less, to where they can just ignore the PS3 and give it a poorer version. Third parties need to wake up and see the PS3 as a long-term platform. It will be around longer than the 360, no doubt, and devs. need to keep its users happy too.
