Modern Warfare 3 Focusing on Gun Skill in Multiplayer
The makers of Modern Warfare 3's multiplayer mode are creating maps that include no more than five hotspots—places from which enemy players may be hiding or shooting—for a gamer to worry about at any one time.
"It simplifies it so that the less skilled player has less to think about," Robert Bowling, creative strategist at Modern Warfare development studio Infinity Ward told me yesterday. "What happens when you have more is that the professional guys are using that spot that is either difficult to get to. … There's fewer places to hide, which discourages the more camper mentality that seemed to emerge in the map design of Modern Warfare 2."
The multiplayer maps will also de-emphasize the verticality of combat that was introduced in Modern Warfare 2, Bowling said, offering that type of tiered conflict more selectively. A reliance on air support, also emphasized in the last Modern Warfare, will also be reduced, switching to something that will feel, Bowling believes, a little more like the first Modern Warfare, Call of Duty 4.
"Modern Warfare style is, for me, all about the high-speed, fast-paced—and I'm talking in terms of smooth controls and 60-frames-per-second framerate—infantry-focused combat," Bowling said. "And it's all focused on that gun-on-gun gameplay, especially in Modern Warfare 3. I feel like it's something we nailed with Call of Duty 4. We moved away from it a little bit with MW2, relying heavily on air support, killstreaks, perks and stuff like that. Modern Warfare 3, very much [is] building up from that Call of Duty 4 mentality of gun-on-gun, fast-paced infantry gameplay."

TTG_DEATH_3MPIR3SGTShaffer8 people need to STFU about quick scoping i hate kids who just quick scope and think there cool OMG OMG OMG I AIMED DOWN THE SIGHT REALLY REALLY FAST THEN SHOT OMFG OMFG IM **** AMAZING , **** quick scoping
SO its agreed, NO QUICKSCOPING!
Just bcuz your a raging little boy who got out played by someone that used a sniper for another reason doesnt give you the power to choose if theres quickscoping or not, The developers of Blackcxcks tried taking out quickscoping but people are able to adjust to the difference.
There will ALWAYS be quickscoping unless they decide taking out the sniper completely and i highly doubt that will happen.

milkxkingRaitoKunRyukIt doesn't show you have balls by aiming down your sights? Its a fuc**ng video game dude.SGTShaffer8 people need to STFU about quick scoping i hate kids who just quick scope and think there cool OMG OMG OMG I AIMED DOWN THE SIGHT REALLY REALLY FAST THEN SHOT OMFG OMFG IM **** AMAZING , **** quick scoping
We do it for a challenge. It takes no skill to sit in a corner aiming down your sights the whole game. So what if we spin off buildings? It takes some skill, and a lot of luck sometimes, but sitting in a corner aiming down your sights with an automatic weapon doesn't show you have skill OR balls.
And quickscoping HAS been confirmed. I just hope it isn't as easy as MW2. Every 12 year old with sleight of hand could do it.
+1
If you don't use a sniper in SnD these days, you're a "try-hard" or "bk". I'm sick of it. Let's go back to the old MW2.

"Its a revamped engine with a refined approach on features."
Translation: Same engine that's been used since 2005, tweaked a little just like every installment in the franchise since CoD 2.
