Call of Duty Ghosts: quick-scoping may be gone completely, says Rubin
Speaking on Twitter at the weekend, Rubin penned a statement on the matter to fans:
Update/Clarification regarding Sniper Rifles:
One of the areas that is getting lot of love in Call of Duty: Ghosts is the Sniper Rifle. By creating the Marksman class we were able to focus the Sniper class on really powerful high-caliber weapon systems. We feel, and many of the pro players who have played would agree, that sniping has never been better.
The changes we’ve made, like dual render scopes and increased damage really make snipers a great competitive class to use. We’ve also done a lot with map design (sight lines and cover) to ensure that all classes are viably effective. Both short range and long range classes will be effective on the same maps.
However in re-envisioning sniper rifles some aspects, such as sway timing, have changed the way sniper rifles function and so traditional “quick-scoping” has been affected. Is it gone completely? Maybe. It certainly won’t be viable in the way it previously was. Can’t wait for you snipers out there to get your hands on these new sniper rifles and try them out for yourselves.
See you in game!
-Mark
Personally, sniper rifles are powerful because they demand skill at long range. That’s where the balancing kicks in. Using a sniper rifle to the same effect at point blank range is a balance-breaker in my book, but then again everyone’s different so there’s no right or wrong answers here.
That said, what do you feel about the possibility of quick-scoping disappearing? Let us know below.

People complain about how quickscoping was bad and it's good it may be gone.
How is it bad ? Don't get mad because people have skill and kill you with a sniper before you have time to shoot. I guess you can say it's kind of like a different tactic and you just have to learn how to beat it.

In any other FPS I would be fine with quickscoping being eliminated as it does kind of do away with the purpose of Sniper Rifles...Long range. But in a game like Call of Duty where the maps are small, spawns force gunfights, and every player uses the same 5 overpowered guns, it is absolutely NECESSARY for this sniping "fail-safe" in order to extend your life (and killstreak) in-game. Sure, no real military sniper has ever quickscoped someone but the same can be said about dropshotting, jumpshotting, and recovering from 70-odd bullet wounds in a matter of seconds. Leave the realism to Battlefield. Call of Duty is now an Arcade FPS whereas Battlefield is a Simulation FPS; it's the same relation that Need for Speed has with Gran Turismo or Forza...Both follow the same concepts but utilize the basics differently.
Quickscoping is a staple of Arcade FPS's now, if you take that away, you have to take out everything else that makes you an AFPS or else what's the point?

I actually love quick-scoping disappearing, I only use when I have no other choice unlike others.

if it didnt take half a clip to kill someone we wouldnt have to use quick scoping. plus everyone is going to be playing gta5 so who cares. call of duty has worn itself out and just keeps getting worse.

I don't like quick scooping, but they could have made a game mode just for quick scooping.

Personally i dont quick scope anymore but i think all the CODs are focusing too much on the pro aspect and not on the normal community that just wants to have fun , we all arent competitive pros we just wanna play and have fun and quickscoping is quite fun to be honest
