Call of Duty Ghosts: quick-scoping may be gone completely, says Rubin

4.4
Call of Duty: Ghosts may not included quick-scoping, according to Infinity Ward’s Mark Rubin. That’s either a huge relief or reason for concern, depending on which side of the one-shot fence you sit.

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.

The community are going to take what ever IW through at them for sniping and turn it into something better, they always do. So even if quickscoping isn't the same you can bet it will still be happening.

I personally love quickscoping. I wouldn't say i'm incredible at it but i'm far above average. I didn't plan on buying ghosts right away and I sure as shit won't do it now. I mean I can lead my team quickscoping or traditional sniping. Normally the guys getting pissed about quickscopes just can quickscope themselves.

But yeah the simple fix as stated by a few comments I rushed through: MAKE THE MAPS BIGGER. Jesus you see these map previews and the developers always go on about great short,mid, and long range engagements. But the long range engagements are what 150 yards? 150 yards for a .338 to .50 sniper is not long range. I can be fairly accurate at 100 yards with a goddamned .22. The snipers in this game are accurate to ranges of 700-2000 yards.

Now i'm not stupid, I know they aren't going to make maps that big. But what happens to wasteland/afgan/rundown style maps? Those had a few 200-300 yard paths. Bring back some bushes or shrubs, high grass. You guys have got to move past this shit with fighting in busted up cities. Do a farm with a few open fields with some patches of cover, do a cornfield, a farm house, a barn, equipment shed, maybe a couple other little buildings.

Also another thing that would help is a mode where it's one type of gun. Like halo had.. team snipers.. team shotguns. How much fun would it be to be able to join a random match of all sniping/quickscoping? All shotguns, all smgs? Everybody would be on the same level.

Just my 2 cents. I say nerf quickscoping a little. But don't get rid of it. You'll lose a big part of your fans.

-T- Seriously not even going to buy this game if quickscoping isnt possible anymore.
I will flip out.
Quickscoping opened up a whole new world to COD and the COD community.
For them to take that away is a total ******* move.
I will NOT get this game if you cant quickscope i swear.


Good. The game sucks anyways. I'm glad they are removing quickscoping, it's such a bitch move to be playing Search and Destroy and getting one-shotted from 4 feet away.

Then you're a f*cking idiot.
It's boring, and annoying to everyone except the kid quickscoping, who after all these years STILL thinks it looks good and people are impressed by it.

To say you're not going to buy the game because you can't do such a pointless, stupid looking thing on multiplayer is stupid.

And all the little boys and "CoD Pros" (lol) rage. Thank bejesus it's gone.

VampiricPosted:

Glad it'll be gone, it's been out dated for years but pubescent kids still think it's cool.
Sigh

I saw Ghost gameplay of sniping with some FaZe guy. The whole quickscoping deal looked the exact same. I hope that wasn't after the fix because that the fix did nothing.

Let's hope they remove it!!!

Used to love quickscoping in mw2 but then when i played using reg guns in the other cods quickscoping is so annoying!! it takes skill to quickscope at long rage not to no scope at close range so glad they are making it harder for it to take more skill!

quikscoping is unrealistic so,i want you to see you do it in real life...you would fail.....i love they are removing quikscoping so we can play like real life combat!
