Yet Another MW2 Thread : Quickscopers

[BadassCyborg]

Well, from my MW2 experience the kind of person that quick-scopes tends to be a whiny nasal 12 year old chav with a poor upbringing and an uninspired 'cool' name such as xX_SnIp3rShOt_Xx. GTFO out of the game you are ruining it for better people (who are actually old enough to play the game legitimately). It's an annoying and cheap tactic that abuses a flaw in the game, just like NoobTubes. And stop spewing out insults and ragequitting when you inevitability get thrashed by skilled players. Kids like you ruin this game. Use the sniper as intended or GTFO, you arrogant prick.

Quickscoping is good, as long as you actually hit the target, nothing more annoying than a quickscoper being the last alive on S&D and missing every shot -.-

 

[DigitalSushi]

its faggy, you going to use a sniper.. use it properlly, dont run around lucking every kill, thats why the world has a problem with you. You are just as bad as noob tubers.

I'm a quick scoper and no scoper, and no its not "faggy", would you mind not being so hateful in future.

its funny because I consider snipers that sit in one spot to be not using the guns ability to its fullest.

Dont get all emotional, man up. again i dont agree with camping either, i think everyone should move about and not sit in one spot, how ever there is a difference between sitting in one spot such as a roof or window, compared to lying in some grass with thermal, cold blooded on with a silenced 50 cal.. maybe with heartbeat to top it off..

I'm not emotional, your the one making the "faggy" statements, your obviously bothered by people who wield a sniper rifle on a game calling them "scrubs" and what not.

Its only a game dude, if someone learns how to quick scope, let them, I'm sure other people are bothered by your layout.

Its called hardcore, people who try and quickscope on it get killed very very fast. Really its a stupid strategy for noobs who play on regular mode and in my opinion is far worse then knifers or noob tubers.

Personally, I don't particularly enjoy facing them simply because it is a tactic that promotes using the damn things. That being said, I play hardcore mostly, and people who try to quick-scope in hardcore tend to die. Fast-like. Also, I am a SMG user and thus the opposite of the quickscopee in terms of weapon methodology.

Of course, I also use the riot shield 45% I play, so yeah...

Oh dear god this guy plays like I do. Riot shield and an m1 whatever its called shotgun or a tmp is my standard choice of weapons. If im not using that its a tar w/heartbeat. Although im only on my 4th prestige not 10th.

F*ck yeah Riot Shield of Justice! Right now I rock the Desert Eagle as my secondary. Its impracticable as hell, but man oh man is it satisfying to fire. If not that then I normally go with a Rafficka

I stopped using the Rafficka when I hit my 2500 kills with it, I mean I like the gun but its gotten me killed several times. I really dont have enough custom slots at my level to keep one with the raffika aswell.

As for the Desery Eagle, I do have a setup with it but I dont use it fairly often. Its part of my marathon/lightweight setup but I generally end up shooting people with it instead of knifing them.

Im curious what do you play on PC, PS3, or 360?

I play on the 360, do you as well?

Also, while I have the tac-knife equipped, I find it much more useful for shooting simply because it levels off the damned iron sight, which is normally off center on the thing.

Because that's not how you use a sniper rifle. Granted it's not the player's fault, they're playing with the hand they're dealt, developers are the ones that need to make sure this can't be done (unless we're talking about something like Unreal Tournament).

But anyway, I mostly play Bad Company 2 nowadays, so I don't have to deal with this.

Why shouldn't you use a sniper rifle that way? It's harder than any other way of playing the game so surely there's no problem with it?

Wow, I'm sorry for being an arrogant prick but it's not cheap in any way, I assume when you refer to skilled players you mean people who stay in a building all game with an assault rifle and claymores and get 30-1 because they just let people come to them, there's more skill in quickscoping than there is in that, I think you're the one being arrogant.

 

[The Procrastinated End]

We apologize for using a certain strategy that destroys your precious image of the sniper rifle.

I forgive, stop doing it now thankyou.

I guess you would like everyone to play exactly as you do and not use some of the additional attachments that the game programmers put in?

 

[Burningsok]

there is nothing wrong, it's just snobby little kids and teenagers who get mad whenever you knock their k/d down a little. They will complain about anything to make the person feel like a cheap bastard. However noobtubing at times can be quite annoying.

 

[garfoldsomeoneelse]

I personally hate quickscopers. They're running around with a weapon that can OHK at any range. That doesn't make for a terribly balanced game.

 

[ItsAChiaotzu]

I think most people hate it because it is essentially makes the sniper rifle a one hit kill assault rifle. Tubes you get (2) and you're empty, yes you can refill etc. And there is the problem that with every gun you use there is some +'s and -'s the - of the sniper rifle is that its supposed to be a long distance killer where the user has to hold the breath to get a steady shot. Quick scoping kind of removes the whole you're supposed to be looking down the scope, steady, shoot. And it also (in my experience) is fairly effective in close range, where if you were looking through it normally or hip firing you'd be pretty damn screwed. Also unlike tubing you have plenty of ammo to go through and the sniper rifle can still be used for its primary long range use, but a tube you're either in tube mode or in fire mode, which leads to a lot of tubers getting killed. That's just my two cents. I dislike both tubing and quick sniping.

Ok, but bear in mind that there are two hit kill assault rifles in the game which along with having pretty much the same effective range of all of the snipers, (you can snipe cross map on Wasteland with the ACR) are far easier to aim meaning if you don't quickscope someone in one shot you're almost certainly dead, this combined with the fact that about 40% of quickscopes are hitmarkers anyway would imply that it's not cheap in any way.

 

[BadassCyborg]

By skilled players I mean people that move about the map, flanking and setting up ambushes. Not campers. BTW just so you know anyone that falls into these catagories I consider scum: boosters, campers, people that overuse UMP45 and SPAS12, noob-tubers, shield blockers, quick-scopers, whiny underage kids, players with names that have to many x's, alternating capital letters etc. people in 9th and 10th prestige (because they most likely used the hack, making these prestiges meaningless) If you do these please gtfo you are ruining the multiplayer.

 

[findler]

I used to play MW2 alot but haven't lately and this is a fairly recent trend I assume. It's sounding like most of the people have a problem not so much with the actual "being killed" but the arrogance and attitude of some of the people using snipers in this manner.

I can understand that. Not everyone will be a prick and brag about a quick-scope skill, but if someone is using an exploit and gets some easy kills, most reasonable people would get annoyed when they start spewing about how awesome they are.

To quick-scopers: Not saying there is anything wrong with it, but appreciate the frustration. Imagine a 10-year old noobtuber spouting off about how great they are when all they did was use danger close and fire off nades.

 

[TerranReaper]

Why do we have two threads of the same topic? Well anyways, what hasn't been said about quickscoping? It's simply not sniping and it takes advantage of the high power of sniper rifles so you can use it as an assault weapon. This shouldn't be the case, snipers should be snipers, domination in long range, weak in short range.

In comparison to noobtubers, I respect quickscopers more than noobtubers because at least for quickscoping, you gotta sit down for a few hours and learn how to do as opposed to just pressing a button and getting several kills. But it's basically exploiting the stupidity of the developers, and I don't have much respect for that. I'm rather getting tired of hearing people saying "Just because it's in the game, it's legitimate", because it isn't. If the developers released some sort of aimbot or ability to get "under the map" if you were last prestige or some instant "I win" button when you've gotten 25 nukes and they say that it was intentional, would you say that it's fair since it's part of the game?

If you've ever played "Gunz: The Duel", you will know that in that game, the entire gameplay revolves around an exploit that allows you shoot rocket launchers almost instantly and basically kill you in less time than it takes you to process what happens. The community in that game claims it's part of the game when the developers haven't acknowledged it and the community practically goes berserk over anyone that says otherwise.

 

[^=ash=^]

Quickscoping takes skill? ..And gives little reward ... are you serious. I haven't got to level 70 once, my KDR is just over 1.15 yet I managed to play with a group of people and got 30 - 9 when quickscoping. I am an average player in my mind.

As previously stated, it is just luck and use of the aim assist. Skill is not a factor, as a sniper shot is nearly always a 1 hit kill.

We take completely separate approaches. I prefer finding a perch/ambush spot with a silenced hard-scoped sniper rifle. I tend to consider folks who run around with their rifle just to quick scope down targets to be missing the point behind sniping, but both are legitimate tactics.

"Combat sniper" vs "ambush sniper". Both valid techniques, but I prefer a burst-fire weapon for the former.

 

[Durendarte]

Why shouldn't you use a sniper rifle that way? It's harder than any other way of playing the game so surely there's no problem with it?

If the game mechanics allow you, by all means, do it. But quickscoping feels unnatural to me, sniper rifles are supposed to be long range, suppressive fire weapons, not one hit kill, aim-assisted shotguns. If the game allows people to effectively play like that it's simply not the game for me.

 

[Radeonx]

I personally hate quickscopers. They're running around with a weapon that can OHK at any range. That doesn't make for a terribly balanced game.

The assault rifles are 2-3 bullet kills at any range and are fully automatic (Save one gun that's semi), so the game is ridiculously imbalanced overall.

 

[TimeLord]

I don't mind quickscoping. I only find it annoying because I can't do it myself

 

[park92]

there should be more quickscopers they are too easy to take down
