Quickscoping "Gimped" in Call of Duty: Black Ops.

[ApophisMP]

I hope that

Won't be a problem either...

LOVE the vid its so true,

But i dont understand why everyone is griping about noobtubes, The 203 or GP-25, are legit weapons in modern combat, therefor in games that claim to be realistic they would have to be in there.Now before i get called a OMA Dangerclose noob let me just say i hated being noobtubed in MW2 due to the Blast radius was ungodly. The real GL Blast radius is only 5 meters for a kill ( i used in reallife) and the wound radius is 15 meteres the same for a Hand Grenade. so i dont understand why games, dont use that the holy word on the distances for those things.

Unless you're sitting in a corner staring down your sights (which means you're basically an idiot), then sniping is no longer possible.

I'm sorry, uh, do you know how snipers work in RL?

Yes, I do. I also know that video games aren't real life. You aren't dead for real if you die in the video game. Snipers in RL hide and use cover because they have to take the shot and run like hell. You aren't dead if you die in the video game. There is no excuse for sitting in the corner, ever. It's cowardly, annoying, and makes the game no fun.

Oh god, no please stop. The word both you and Josh Olin are looking for is "Nerfed"! A weapon of feature made less powerful or effective in a game is described as nerfes as in the sense of a Nerf Ball Gun.

Thank you! I can't take the word 'gimped' seriously.

i would suggest playing quake and unreal tournament then. as those seem to fit your exact descriptions of how games should be.

Their tears...I drink them up!
OT: To quote the almighty Tychus Finley of SC2, "Hell. It's about time." Quickscoping was pure garbage and was meant to annoy people like me. I could never play a game without some little squeaker or random gaming asshole shouting into the headset at every quickscope kill, claiming how skilled they are, then calling hax when it fails. Call of Duty is going for "realism". So for Treyarch to get closer to this, they're making sniping a little more towards the real side. If these people complaining don't get Black Ops now due to said removal of certain play-styles and perks, good riddance. I will enjoy the game more now, playing legit and how it was supposed to be played.

Some people have canceled their pre-orders (saw on Black Ops forums), they said that "Quick-scoping is the only thing they liked about it and now that they took it out we don't want to play it anymore."

Truly a face-palm worthy post.

The main reason auto aiming was BS was because:
A. Sniper rifles do ungodly amounts of damage
B. Abuse the games habit of snapping to a nearby target upon "scoping" your rifle thus removing all need to fine tune your aim

 

[jamradar]

Hooray now I will not get a thousand messages a day from one of my friends on Xbox Live.


No I dont want to play a 1v1 match with only quickscoping.

 

[lizards]

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

no

quick scoping has only ever been good in one game and one game alone, gears of war, BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO AIM FOR THE HEAD (in gears 2 anyway) and also THE SNIPER IS BOLT ACTION overall ive always hated snipers in modern warfare even though i use them in every single other game i play because its to easy to use them they are overpowered, put stopping power on any one of the 3 semi auto snipers and if you hit them on the hand it kills them, god forbid they have an acog scope

can someone tell me the reason behind having the dragonov sniper in the single player but not multiplayer? dont get me wrong i still wouldnt use it but still what is the reason behind that?

 

[Buizel91]

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: :'(

Don't be evil Jack! that was uncalled for!

OT: Yey! *Dances* Thank Christ! Treyarch! I LOVE YOU! <3

EDIT...and wow, Youtube has exploded...

 

[FightThePower]

I don't think it's cheap or overpowered at all. It takes a lot of skill and trust me, for every one game where you do well, you'll get like 5 where you barely go positive, break-even, or go negative.

I still don't care too much about this decision though. I'm more glad Commando, One Man Army and Danger Close have gone.

 

[Lem0nade Inlay]

Thank Christ!

'quickscoping' was such bullshit. And no commando nonsense! They just need to remove 'noobtubes' and imprison boosters in Chinese detention centres.

Oh, and BTW stop the Calumon stuff it's not cute, it's irritating.

How was quickscoping bullshit? If you did it on PC, it wasn't at all easy. But if I was using an assault rifle it was incredibly easy to own a quickscoper from less than 10 metres away.

 

[Hassao]

meh quickscoping was alright enough, but get rid of the knife's insta kill BS

 

[Jonny49]

If people could qucikscope in COD4 without Sight of Hand Pro, they'll be able to do it in Black Ops too. Not to bothered really though, hip-firing was always my way of dealing with them.

 

[KaosuHamoni]

I can allready hear the pitiful screams of immature children crying because their beloved quick scoping doesn't work anymore. Hahahaaaa

You should see YouTube. LITTERED with them.

 

[CSidgwick]

Finally lets hope there inst a god weapon in the game which everyplayer uses to earn cheap kills , UMP was the bane of my life

 

[Mcface]

Leave it to Treyarch to begin to fix the problems that have plagued Call of duty since 4.

So glad it's changing for the better.

Also, NO MORE FUCKING SNIPER MONTAGES.
This is a grand day for anyone who is subscribed to any channel involving gameplay from call of duty.

 

[crimsonshrouds]

meh the only multiplayer ive found for me is bioshock 2s i still dont feel like dealing with screaming 10 year olds.

 

[LightningBanks]

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.

They should do both, have pistol whips as standard melee, with knifes as secondary weapon.

They should also make it where knife attack is a lunge, and melee button is a slash, BUT when you lunge, if you HIT, the player goes into a last stand style mode, in which the player may patch himself up (somehow) or fight off the knifer with a pistol (or something). and if you MISS, the attacker stumbles and becomes defenseless for a while.

Also, slashs do half damage, and any back kills are assasinations (with different animations)
