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.

You and everyone else is saying "I'm glad it's gone" because you get killed by them, and you suck too bad to kill a sniper.
You're one of those noobs who quick scope all day and practice on bots.
Go away.
COD was not even meant to have snipers anyways. Small 'af maps.

No, the quickscopers ruined COD ever since they could do it. I quickscoped to and you can literally just destroy everyone with 1 shot. Now you have to ACTUALLY SNIPE not be a noob.

pyroboy926NikolaiLoverG935-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 ***** move to be playing Search and Destroy and getting one-shotted from 4 feet away.
Well it is kind of your fault for not killing a sniper when you have a machine gun... You know, kind of easy to kill them still.
You are literally too stupid to argue with...

I hope there are more people like you, I don't want 10 year old "pros" in the game. So I hope you stand true to your word and leave the game on the shelf. And a machine gun still takes 4-6 bullets in the chest at close range to kill, a sniper takes one. How is it the machine gunners fault for not killing the sniper?
Machine gun should be 2-3 headshots... get to it. Get the jump on the sniper and it normally throws the aim off. If you can't get the jump on a sniper then you deserve to die.
Also what's the different between it being a sniper or a shotgun from 4 feet away? Either way you're getting one shot killed if you get hit.
The issue with quick scoping is how the game does it, when you do the left trigger right trigger you accuracy becomes 100% dead centre.
If a shoty person popped up his accuracy is not 100% dead centre, there is still a change of survival, if its a quick scoper then you don't since there bullet will hit you where the centre of there screen is every time. (Also even if it hits your big toe :-@)
Now if you hip fire its all over the place, how it should be.
Snipers are not meant to be running about with 50cals sniping people from 2 feet away, that's why you have close range sniper rifles, though not sure if the game has them, since I play BLOP2 & don't use sniper rifles.
