They have not just nerfed Quickscoping, but utterly ruined sniping. They have such a huge sniping community that this just seems like complete madness.

For the people saying it's more realistic: Since when is it realistic for a rifle to automatically sway randomly around like crazy and a bullet not to go where the crosshair is for a second and a half every time you aim down the sights?

Hell, I don't ever snipe, I don't like quickscoing and even I can see that this was a ridiculous decision. It makes the Sniper Rifles utterly redundant.


I'm not even trying to joke either, that's a fantastic change. Quickly scoping to increase accuracy isn't "realistic", it's a cheap trick and I'm glad its gone. Close range snipers pretty much only use the gun to abuse its high firepower.

Now I wonder how many "annoying" perks they've removed, the ones that made COD4 utterly intollerable at times because of the sheer amount of whining.
Noobtube?
Juggernaut?
Last stand?
Martyr?
Choppergunner? (or rather I'd really like to see killstreaks not count towards other killstreaks, it means once you get a plane the other team is permanantly dominated in outdoor maps)
*sigh* Pretty much all but about 4 perks (I've had players literally name all but 4 perks as "omfgnoobish")


Sniping isn't ruined either way, you simply now have to snipe at range instead of running up to someone, scoping then instantly killing them at point blank range.

Don't worry, you can all still abuse the broken knife mechanics, I'm sure they're in there still.

The chopper gunner...fair enough, its a small map, need to get 11 kills...fine.

The quickscoping though...hrr.

See, I did it because I had a really fun time doing it, and it was challenging and satisfying for me. Cod4 did it right, and I'm pretty upset they ruined it completely:/.

I'll see how it is when I pick the game up...eventually. But atm...this does not look good D:

But seriously, why the beef?
People have fun playing the game in different ways, it doesn't mean their wrong for playing like that?

Games are for people to have fun, and I talk on behalf of the quickscoping community when I say...that's how we have fun. Going around with a TAR-21 silenced with predator, harrier and chopper gunner is just boring for me...doesn't mean you guys that find that enjoyable should get so defensive and aggy.

Chill out guys, it's just a game -___________-'' and don't pass judgement until you've played it.

ugh.
Eeeeexactly!

Although I do find quickscoping REALLY frustrating(I don't do it myself), it's how some people prefer to play so I can't complain. Though the insults/taunts are the worst part. (Not the funny banter which occasionally happens, the really annoying 12 year old spoilt brat calling everyone noobs)

My god, a helicopter being strong against soft targets, what madness is this?

My word, they also ruined quickscopers, the most annoying people in this game?

Well now you have me sold treyarch.

Kill streaks have been taken too far I think. Now all they do is give the best players even more kills like they need them.

I suck at COD anyway so my experience of the game is spawn...spawnkilled or spawn, move, get killed by killstreak. I'm lucky to get a killstreak with all the mutants with 12 fingers that run around spraying you with smg fire, killing you instantly while you and your LMG might aswell be throwing ducks at them for all the power it has, which no sense if "realism" is the goal.

I'll get this when people start trading it in because they are dissapointed.

My predictions
imbalanced 1337 ragefest multiplayer
decent but short singleplayer
coop that isnt as good as mw2 (only thing I liked about mw2) but I hope im wrong about that.

MW1 or WAW were the best.

I traded in MW2 for Dead Rising 2 and was glad to be rid of it.

Yeah I never saw the issue with any of them.

My brother is a dedicated noobtuber (all he uses is an M4 with grenade attachment and danger close) and I would never question his skill, because I've seen him pull off some awe-inspiring shots with it.

Jug balances stopping power, why is there a problem. Painkiller was absurdly unbalanced, jug was not.

Matyrdom was the only one I could sort of see the problem, because the entire point of the perk was just to be vindictive. But that wasn't a balance issue, and more an issue that there were few perks on that tier worth not having it.

Noob tubes and last stand are both in Black Ops

If it were my choice I'd make the knife a secondary... I hate the panic knifing OHKs in COD.

Ironically you seem to be trolling the OP when he's not doing that at all.

Hell if you read his other posts he does state that he (and all of us) will have to wait till we get out hands on the game to call final judgement.

Even so, your post is so out-of-line. He's just speculating or making predictions.

That sniping change looks horrible and I'm not QQing as a quickscoper because I barely ever do it but they way I snipe is ruined. I like to watch the map out of scope(a nice HDTV and good eye-sight help with this) and watch for movement on the map then scope in and line up my shot. Now with people moving I usually don't have more than seven seconds or so to take down the target but with two to three of those being stolen by a 'no kill' wait timer that will be a massive pain in the ass. I've gotten myself over halfway through 8th prestige in MW2 doing this and more than a few of my kills come in that Black Ops 'no kill.'

Also, the M14 EBR (yes I know MW2 calls it the M21 but they're wrong) is a modified assault rifle so not being able to use it as an assault weapon seems strange to me. I'm not defending quickscoping but those arguing the realism card need to ponder that fact. Also, you can see in Black Hawk Down a sniper team using M14 EBRs like assault rifles to fend off the Somalis(I think thats what you call them), and I know its a movie but it still demonstrates my point. Last note, using a scope would be difficult at that close range but not impossible.

Lastly, I hope to got the M14 is a rifle in Black Ops. I loved it in MW and if Black Ops has it I may buy the game just for it.

Your method is so scientific.

I've seen one video with no hands on experience and believe the words of others without testing the fruits of someone else's labor and creating an informed opinion of my own.

Perhaps I should start an entire thread where people can come and marvel at my genius in bringing this factual and non-biased information to them.

They shall think of me as a God amongst men.

Alternatively we could see that the reason that MW2 started dying on its arse fast and hard was because the studio that developed it and would later need to nurture and patch it died. Thus leaving the game free for one and all to exploit.

Maybe. Just maybe. A studio that isnt suing one another for not being paid would be able to observe game play trends. Look out for over use of weapons. Keep up to date with what the players and complaining about and, I dunno, create patches and updates with weapon nerfs and improvements to make sure their finely crafted product does not fall prey to glitchers, exploiters and the retard front.

Maybe they already have. Maybe they heard everyone bitching about the quick scoping and said. We should put as stop to this.

I want to live in that world.

A world where a forum Troll can be called out as someone begging for attention because he so desperately wants it. A person, lets say, who would call a game unbalanced and broken. Totally unworthy of game play time. Even if he is going to the midnight launch and will then return to his hovel of loneliness. Maybe in that time he will then learn he was wrong and that informed opinion on what needs improving is more important than getting random strangers pissy at him for being so stoically uninformed and spreading rumor and whining as fact.
My goodness.

Why are there so many rude people on this thread?

Very personal insults too. I'd be surprised if you last long on this site.

yes i agree with the chopper gunner it should be on certain maps or have more safer spawn points.

the quick scoping tho, i agree with the change as well, the game is supposed to be realistic, you don't see snipers run up to an enemy at point blank and quick scope them. it's retarded
Yeah but the rifle swingly wildly and randomly around for a second and a half when you look down the sights isn't exactly realistic either, which is what they've done.

I'd have to agree. Sighting my rifles quickly takes... oh a second tops for a scope. 2-3 seconds cries inexperience, and that you shouldn't be touching the damn thing in the first place. A one second "nerf" sounds much better, because in close quarters a whole second is more than enough to beat the sniper to the draw.

Maybe an "experienced sniper" perk would be better. So dedicated snipers can have their shorter aim times, and people who decide to use it for shits and giggles will be hard pressed to actually use it correctly.

As for out of scope, fixing that sounds necessary. I pulled a few rounds from my air rifle, and the spread for just firing from the hip was 1-2 feet from the mark at 20 yards. so a 3 foot circle "recticle", mainly just a spread area that the player can't see from 15 yards plus, 2 foot from 6-14 yards, and a maybe a 1 foot circle at 5 and under would be a realistic and balanced blindfiring scenario.

An incorporation to the proposed sniper perk to make the radius of possible hits shrink would also be good, because I truly had to fire from the hip to miss, after being used to my rifles. Any combat-tense sniper would be accurate at least to a half a foot less than those distances, if not close to dead on at 30 yards or under. And that's my experience as an untrained marksman, just learning the trade myself as a hobby.

Ugh, there has got to be a happy middle ground for quick scoping, because that's just ridiculous.

I also find it really ironic that people are citing it as being realistic when it completely isn't. While it's true that a sniper isn't going to run around like that, the rifle doesn't magically become inaccurate if you don't look through the sights long enough.

Two solutions that I like better would be to increase the time taken to bring the rifle up to sighting it or to decrease the players speed for carrying a typically heavier weapon, like the 30 lbs Barret you see players running around with ease.
I think the best solution would be to turn off the auto-aim when using a sniper rifle, but your ideas are good too. Maybe a combination.

As far as I know it's in the game.

I also saw a vid where a guy used it in MW2 with an ACOG and used it like an assault rifle, it seemed to be pretty effective!

This game looks exactly the same as MW2 but with different guns. Unfortunately, because it take so little time to kill people, there may as well be one gun per category. There'll only be one gun per category worth using, which is the most accurate one. And since the only categories that aren't specialised weapons are SMGs and Assault rifles, everyon will just be using the same 2 guns. Just like MW2.

Think I'll pass.

It would seem, in my opinion, that we're going to speak like this from now on. This is an extremely tedious way to have a discussion, in my opinion, but others, in their opinion, think that we must classify our statements. In my opinion, we're really all smart enough to know the distinction between a fact and an opinion. But if this is what it takes to actually discuss the topic at hand, then this is the best way to go about things, in my opinion[footnote]Note: not actually my opinion[/footnote].

Awesome. I did use the EBR with the ACOG from time to time but I prefer the iron sights with it for some strange reason.
