I will check tho.

Definitely better, still not good enough though.

Only at very far ranges. Look at Bad Company 2, they did sniping great. That game had bullet travel time and drop, but because of the pacing of the game, it was both challenging and effective. If you add bullet travel time to snipers in Blops, it would encourage people to sniper closer so it's easier, and by reducing sway (and reducing it even further with scout) it would really increase effectiveness at a long, but not cross map, range. You would be putting snipers in a position where there are better at the long ranges where the other guns start to drop off, but discourage people from just sitting at the far corner of the map the whole round.

Point is, there is no place for bullet drop or travel time in Call of Duty.

I sniped an average amount i'd say in MW2 and MW1. I tried it out for the 1st time today and went 26 - 6 my 1st match on Array and 15 - 5 my 2nd match on Cracked. You guys that complain constantly are a bunch of *******. Hell you should probably thank Treyarch for taking away quickscoping. Now you dont run around and go 8 - 17 every other match.

Yeah you go 15-5 with your sniper rifle, while I'm going 42-6 with my AK74u/Grip+Rapid fire.

LOL you would use that gun combination. Thats kind of pathetic.

Why would you use an inferior gun setup?

Presently? No. I think snipers should have less sway, and that there should be bullet travel time. This would encourage people to keep moving when under sniper fire, and would make snipers more powerful at 50-100 yard ranges while keeping them balanced at long ranges. That is my option, based entirely on game balance. Adding quickscoping would not make them balanced, just gimmicky.

Bullet Travel Time would make sniping harder than it is now.

Actually it would make it pretty useless :/

Do you lot even realize the more programmers try to make future games even more realistic than the last, the more these types of unrealistic sniping will be phased out? Are you guys going to try and dictate how developers make their games forever?

Is there anybody with some sense wanting to answer that.

I am a game designer, it's my job.

Realism is a stupid thing to try to make a game for, that is the realm of simulators.

Simulators of war are not games.

And simulators are hardly ever competitive simulations.

why should a shotgun only be effective within 10 meters? Ever heard of a slug? those exist quickscoping does not. Just learn to deal with the sway and scope in ahead of time. Is it bullshit that your bullet won't go where you aim? yes but this is solved by aiming ahead of time. Active use of your secondary also helps in staying alive.

Sorry, I was a bit unclear...

Why should a sniper sit back in the game?

You are firing digital representations of guns that are nothing like their real life counterparts. They have stats and numbers assigned to them for purposes of game balance. The developers of this game decided that quickscoping was stupid, but regenerating heath was not, despite both being unrealistic. This is a video game, for your entertainment only.

You use the phrase game balance, but do you really think snipers are close to being balanced with assault rifles or lmg's or smg's?

Because snipers carry extremely high powered weapons with a slow rate of fire. In real life snipers stand no chance quickscoping, because guns are A LOT heavier than you expect. When I first held a real 22. calibre bold action rifle, it was a lot heavier than i expected, and it contains only one TINY bullet. Now imagine how much heavier military grade sniper rifles would be- you cant quickscope. And even if you could quickscope in real life, the recoil for each shot would prevent you from firing 2 shots in less than 3 seconds. And if you "quickscope" someone in real life with a sniper rifle, there is no guarantee he will die in the first shot- he will probably kill you while you are trying to fire the second shot. And to give you a feel of how long "3 seconds" is count 1 Mississippi 2 Mississippi 3 Mississippi, and you will understand what I'm saying by high powered rifle

The ONLY reason you can quickscope in FPS games is because people die in a set amount of bullets in videogames. In real life, they could die in 1,2 or even 3 hits. There is no SET guarantee. And in the time you are firing the next shot, they WILL kill you.

No but really, why can't you quick scope in the game?

0 quick scopes in the video.

The one you did try missed, and it wasn't nearly on target.

All those no scopes were insanely lucky though, can't imagine how many hundreds of games that took to make.

Not too amazing, but respectful considering how **** sniping is atm.

yep... i know exactly what you mean, it's only getting worse every day. It doesn't help that all these maps are really camper-friendly either, just like half the maps in MW2. Except this time it's all of them. Sometimes when it gets too frustrating I go back and play COD4, because all the campers left that game to go play MW2 and BO. Almost everyone in that game moves around and looks for kills.

MW2 maps weren't camper friendly.

MW2 was camper friendly, there is a big difference.

Black Ops is camper friendly, but the difference is the maps are also camper friendly.

The game is most balanced COD yet. I mean compared to MW2 this game is a god.

MW2's guns were balanced perfectly.

However... Black Ops doesn't have gun balance nearly as down as MW2 did.

The explosives and secondaries are perfect though, with the exception of shotguns, which should be secondaries honestly.

The one in russia was by far the best mission in the game, which is incredibly sad considering how many missions in CoD:4/WaW/MW2 were just as good if not better than that one.

We're only talking about one game mode here, not the entire multiplayer. And who cares if they ripped off Halo? If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Oh, was saying that people would still ***** about it.

I still say just steal the halo radar idea, ghost doesn't work.
