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?

Genetics well I would rather have competitive playing than 12 year olds running up to people with snipers


I agree I like competitive a lot more.

VPN Good quick scoping isn't a thing in this game.


Yeah it is, It gets annoying on CoD


When people first started quick-scoping i really had no problem with it. But now with trickshotting and everything.. it has kind of ruined call of duty for me in general


I used to be a trickshotter but k=now I just hate it and when people do it.


I was into quickscoping for a time but i honestly never liked trickshotting. It just felt stupid in my eyes, i would much rather run around with an automatic weapon and rack up kills.

Driven Good. I think every military FPS should be doing this. Quick scoping and trickshotting takes no skill whatsoever. It just takes luck.


Well you are an idiot. It takes more skill, everybody knows this. Oh and they say there won't be quickscoping but that is probably bulls*it! Just like on CoD : Ghosts


for some people maybe but 90% of trickshotters/quickscopers just mindlessly shoot and miss all their shots


How I see it, what people do in the air takes skill, but hitting the shot is completely luck.

I'm glad quickscoping and noscoping won't be a problem in Titanfall.
