No quick-scoping in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, promises SH

4.4
Sledgehammer’s Michael Condry is promising no quick-scoping in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.

Speaking to 3 News, he said that the development team has worked hard to balance classes, leaving less room to exploit auto-aim and diminish the semi-realistic nature of the shooter.

“Let me put it this way, sniper classes are not going to be overpowered relative to their peers,” he said. “The ability to master a sniper rifle and be great at it will be equal to the ability to master any other class.

“We’ve done some things to make sure snipers are not able to take advantage of their properties – for example, there are attachments based on weapon classes that are specific. The ability to quick-draw with an assault rifle is important, but you don’t want to have the ability to quick-draw with a sniper rifle because that lends itself to being a faster, quick-scope model.

“We spent a lot of time trying to focus on it so I think sniper class players will find that it’s a really rewarding experience, but it won’t be over-powered relative to their peers.”

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is out November 3 for Day Zero pre-orders.

LOL funniest thing I have heard them say about the game yet.

Well im sure its just to create some buzz other than people saying how rubbish the game will be.

At least now for one second people are laughing about something else.

Xur Lots of people will be upset about this, but they said the same in ghosts and I managed to quickscope (in the first week that I played it before realizing I wasted $70)


All they did in Ghosts is remove the crosshairs for snipers so it was a lot harder to line up your gun. It really wasn't hard though. The only game to come the closest to getting rid of quickscoping is obviously BO1. But people still managed to quickscope.

May I remind you guys of Black Ops 1? They said they removed it then.

There's nothing wrong with Quickscoping or whatever with friends in a private match, but when it comes to taking it online, then it just gets annoying.

Miss
Sage This isnt something you can stop XD no matter what there is going to be a group of ppl trying too quickscope it just call of duty tradition


It really isn't, lol. It started in MW2, I don't recall people doing it in CoD 2 at the time...

OT: This is probably the best news and best thing CoD has done to this date since MW2. Although their will still be those kids that will try and accomplish it, at least this will put pressure on them and hopefully they get over it. I'm tired of all the kids yelling and getting mad when someone doesn't 'trickshot' or 'quickscope', like get over yourselves honestly.


Funny because CoD 2 was one of the funnest in the series to 'quickscope' on.
