Titanfall: quick-scoping & no-scoping are ‘ineffective’, says Respawn

4.6
Titanfall developer Respawn Entertainment has responded to queries about those most debated of shooter tropes; quick-scoping. The studio has labelled the technique and no-scoping ‘ineffective.’

It follows this new Titanfall trailer, showing off the Atlas mech in all its stompy glory.

Now, over on the Respawn forum, one developer wrote, “Sniping is in the game, but due to how the game plays it’s a pretty different animal than you’ll find in your run of the mill modern military shooter. Quick scoping and no scoping are ineffective.”

Quick-scoping is a method of aiming in Call of Duty that sees a player using the game’s auto-aim to zero in on a target for a one-shot kill. It’s not cheating, but it’s notorious for pissing people off, seeing as sniper rifles are powerful, given their history as long range weapons. Using them up close like that – it is argued – upsets the shooter’s balancing. No-scoping on the other hand, is scoring kills without aiming the sniper rifle at all.

It remains to be seen just how sniping will be used in Titanfall. We’ll have to wait until March to find out.

What’s your take?

Fozy Thank god. If this game had quickscoping I would never buy it.


I actually enjoy quickscoping alot on it


I do to, but this is still a good thing. It gets annoying half the time.


I'm glad it's out, I don't think it would suit Titanfall's play style.


I'm fine with QS'ing on CoD, but when people bring it over to other games, I have a problem. People on Battlefield have even started to run around and trying to quickscope, now that's not really a problem unless you play hardcore, but in all honesty, QS'ing should just stick to CoD. Even though some people will disagree, QS'ing is just more of a CoD thing than anything else.

CHP meh, i liked QS but im not mad about not having it, there will be other ways to play it though.


Yeah, its going to be a little different though


There will always be ways of quickscoping. They tried taking it out in BO1 and they ended up fixing it so it was possible again.


What I'm thinking they're going to be doing is you can't shoot with a sniper unless you're fully zoomed in. So you try to shoot without aiming in, it won't shoot. You try to shoot while aiming in for a short second or while on the move without having your scope aimed in for a certain amount of time, it won't shoot.
