If you were a fan of Modern Warfare 2's Sleight of Hand' Perk, then you might want to rethink your strategy. Treyarch has confirmed that "quickscoping" will have its nuts ripped out in Call of Duty: Black Ops, eliminating one of the game's less hacksome cheap tricks.

"Quickscoping is a cheap way to play," tweets Treyarch communiy bod Josh Olin. "We're specifically going to gimp Quickscoping, sorry. Play straight-up!"

Quickscoping is where a player uses Sleight of Hand in conjunction with the game's auto-aim in order to achieve a slightly less than earned amount of precision. It was the bane of many a CoD player's existence and its gimpage ought to make quite a few people happy.

It won't please the Quickscopers, of course, but screw those guys with a rusty spanner.

Yay, one less cheap tactics! Me happy.

Though sad to see Sleight of Hand Gone (I believe its gone), it was good for reloading.

It isn't gone. It just doesn't apply for snipers. There's a perk video somewhere that explains it.

I chuckled at "screw them with a rusty spanner."

Works for me.

Now they just need to get rid of the 'witchknife' thing.

Good riddens! All the snot nosed teenage banshees yelling into my mic everytime they got quickscopes was getting rather annoying. Now if only we could get rid of danger close/one man army RPG spam

Well they got rid of one man army, though not so sure about Danger Close.

Commented on it earlier, though.

Ahh splendid! Danger Close is alright some people want to use noobtubes and RPGs whatever its their gameplay but One Man Army was horrible and just screwed everybody over.

Why don't they just adjust the auto aim?? Quick scoping can take skill if it wasn't for that.

 

[Kitteh]

I just hope they gimp weapons with high damage and rate of fire (i.e. g18 akimbo, anyone?)

Oddly enough when I was playing CoD last nite and got continuously quick scoped I thought to myself it would be a godsend if Black Ops didnt have this.

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

I only used slight of hand for LMGs and I never even used sniper rifles, so I'm happy.

I'll be happier if they confirm a lack of DUAL WIELDING SHOTGUNS????!!!! WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY-[CONTENT REMOVED] WITH A SLEDGEHAMMER!!!!!

no commando.

 

[DugMachine]

So are they nerfing SoH or just fixing quick scoping? SoH is a godsend when using LMGs which is my primary weapon... Aug Hbar in Black Ops I LOVE YOU TREYARCH

THANK THE FUCKING LAWD

MW2 quickscoping was the cancer of the shooter genre in my opinion.
