Hey crew! With black ops coming out in just a week or so i wanted to talk about quickscoping. If you haven't already heard the news, Josh Olin Community manager of Treyarch studios had a recent Q&A on twitter, when asked if quickscoping was going to be in the game he replied with "No. Quickscoping is a cheap way to play. We're specifically going to gimp Quickscoping, sorry. Play straight-up!". Thinking the post was a joke another twitter user asked if he was kidding about earlier. He replied "Nope. Quickscoping is way more annoying to a way larger group of people than the quickscoping community who loves to do it." and tagged it #cheap. The idea behind this was that quickscoping, which uses a game mechanic on console game called aim assist, is cheap because the game locks on to targets and allows snipers to scope in quickly and gun another player down without aiming. Treyarch and anti-quickscopers say that no real soldier in the military would ever quickscope and that quickscoping is unrealistic. So Treyarch has decided to gimp the sniper rifle by not allowing a player to do this. The perk slight of hand pro which allows a player to aim down the sights faster does not work on sniper rifles in the game, and when you scope in your cross hairs will not be set perfectly center with where they were before you scoped in. Personally i'm very upset by this choice that Treyarch made and here is why. Many people love to quickscope and Treyarch is letting this HUGE demographic down, secondly if you give any slightly decent quickscoper and automatic weapon in the game i promise they will do better than if they had the sniper. Also the aim assist that people are complaining about is actually more accurately depicted by calling it sticky aim, aim assist on console does not make you snap to a target that you weren't aimed at before it just causes your aim to stick to a player as they pass the cross hairs for just a half second longer than usual. This is on every weapon in the game not just the sniper. Along with this, even if you think quickscoping is an exploit there are plenty of other exploits to take care of before quickscoping *Ahem*
noobtubes. Most of the people complaining are people who cannot quickscope them selves, and my point is how can you call quickscoping cheap if you can't do it your self? It obviously must take some skill if there are people who cannot do it. But i cannot place all the blame on other people who disagree with the game play style of quickscopers that has existed in many previous call of duty installments. Quickscopers often call other snipers who use a sniper traditionally "hardscopers" i totally understand why someone might be angry when a snobby 9 year old calls you a hardscoper just because you had your scope up for a quarter second too long. Quickscopers attitude towards other game play styles must change but I don't think taking quickscoping out of the game was a wise choice.
