I'm confused. How does reloading faster allow you to snipe better? Or is it Sleight-of-Hand Pro? If that's the case, I never upgraded the perk, but I still don't understand how it works. I always pick people of from the other end of the map where it's safe, but quickscope sounds like it's meant for up close.

Arrgh! Damn you, Treyarch! You continue to earn the slightest nods of admiration from me that will all add up to making me buy your game and regretting it!

More zombies, no quickscoping, no Marathon/Lightweight, Customization in droves... Fie and damnation! You can't make me buy it! YOU CAN'T!
Yield. Give in. You know you want to...

Sounds nice.

Still not buying, but its nice to see they're moving away from bullshit that plagued MW2.

Then again they're not having a beta, so chances are something new will appear and be completely overpowered.

Time will tell.

Youtube has exploded from it all...

Jesus, the babies...

I hope this is the case. It's an exploit and if they stick by this, then they'll realise there can be skill in games.


Calumon: My games had skill!

Jack: One of your games required you to grind for 2 hours and have 3 friends to get past the first level!

Calumon: But I wasn't in that one!

Jack: You're not in the best one either, are you?

Calumon: :'(
Wow, just wow.

That one retard that uploaded the most popular video is trying to defend quickscoping by saying it's no cheaper than "explosives".

He's trying to imply that explosives are a cheap tactic, capable of getting easy kills, and are abused like quickscoping was.

*insert facepalm pic*

Quick scoping was entirely enjoyable and I am 100% disappointed by this news.
Your not alone and I am pretty sure people will still quickscope they did in CoD 4 before slight of hand had the quick zoom. Also I really fail to see the issue with quickscoping, whenever someone gets me I usually enjoy the kill cam its so much better than watching a noob spray wildly with the RPD or the projectile arc of a rifle grenade.

Also, quickscoping really isn't all that easy in my opinion.

I don't know about anyone else but I have never encountered any auto aim in any of the online matches I have been in...

Well, Commando's gone, Quickscope went bye-bye, what else on the "list of cheap-ass MW2 tactics" is left?

New Destructoid is still on the fritz damn it. Getting that raptor page all the time.

Commented on it earlier, though.
Just seen your comment and thought "I swear I recognise that name..." then I saw the avatar...

OT: I'm glad as well. I'm fed up of EVERYBODY I play with online criticising me for being a "hard scoper" which, the last time I checked, was just normal sniping.

It seems like everyone has become a shitty little quickscoping fanboy except me! It's got to the point where I join games and just mute everybody in the lobby instantly. I bought the game with my own money I would like to play it MY way in peace please.

This doesn't mean quick scoping is gone. I quick scope all day in CoD4, which doesn't have Sleight of Hand Pro at all. It just means that only good players can quick scope in Black Ops, which is how it should have been from the start. The only reason sniping isn't overpowered in Modern Shitfare 2 is because everything else is so damn overpowered.

I dont see how people thought the QS was overpowered. A good quickscoper usually pull a 1.3 KD, but when he uses an assault rifle he usually gets a 4 KD. Whens the last time you saw a quickscoper get a 70+ game? Almost never!

What frustrates me the most is that quickscoping at least took a drop of skill, while using a assault rifle took none! Not to mention most quickscopers couldnt hit the broad side of a barn! It was an easy kill for rushers! Can someone at least tell me why they think QS is overpowered??

I like how all the people that apparently post on forums don't use such cheap tactics as quick-scoping or camping. I guess the people that do do it are too busy owning up on COD. I'm glad they've taken it out though. Or at least, made it harder to do.

From Destructoid: http://www.destructoid.com

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.

auto-aim
skill

auto-aim

I'll just leave this here.

Ah, in that case I may buy Black ops. I was perfectly content to just live it out with New vegas and Bad company 2 on pc, but maybe I shall buy it now..

Now they just need to get rid of the 'witchknife' thing.
to reply to this, i;d like to see them do 1 of 2 things with that.

#1. make the knife take up your secondary weapon slot. this way you have to SWITCH to the knife first to make you kills. this will eliminate the so called "witch-blade" players, because they cant instantly use their knife.

#2. remove the knife completely. give the player a butt stroke, or pistol whip attack instead. dont make it an instant kill, instead, have it deal saaay, 25% damage, and stun the enemy a bit. tis more realistic that an instant "i slash you you die" meele.

and to all of you, before you ***** about it, they could fix it so a buttstroke in single player= an instant kill.

Imo the whole perk system needs another big overhaul.

It still should be in there, but a lot different. Perks like commando are OP, but can easily be tweaked not to be, whereas One Man Army just needs to be removed.

And for the love of god can they finally make steady aim worth a crap? It's survived through three games and it's been godawful in all of them.
