Quick scoping, like dropshotting, is stupid. That said, I'll do both if I'm in a bad position and have no other choice. I rarely dropshot and quick scope only if I don't have time to switch to my secondary.

It's the people that do these things all the time that are frustrating... The game would be better off without both of these.

Quickscoping doesn't bother me in the least - they are so easy to kill. Sure every once in a while one will get me, but it's usually from behind when I'm preoccupied trying to kill someone else.

Last week I was playing DOM on Fallen and this dude on the other team was just running around trying to quickscope everyone. He sucked. Naturally, his GT was something like Eleet QScopezz, or something like that. I swear he followed me around the whole game, because I'd kill him near a flag and low and behold he'd be back trying to QS me as soon as I tried to cap it.

I killed him every single time, it wasn't even fair. The highlight was when ole scopezz decided it would be cool to jump off the roof and no-scope me while I was capping C - I just waited until he landed and dummied him between the eyes with my P99.

Point is, they are easy kills and pose very little threat - hell, even the good ones hardly go positive and they never cap objectives.

Having a whole bunch on your team, however, can be pretty frustrating...

i was fooling around and tried QS for the first time yesterday... got 2 out of 3 kills, this is definitively a cheat... just have the opponent pretty much centered and pressing aim/fire in rapid succession... insta-kill ...stupid.

But I guess its trendy and all the "l33tSniPezZZzz" kids like it ...so we're stuck with this crap.

Yeah, quickscoping is bad, plain and simple.

You are giving someone a one bullet kill weapon, and allowing them to use it as a sub machine gun.

If you are going to allow quickscoping, then take out one shot chest kills. I mean, if I shot you in the chest with an assault rifle you'd be done, but I'm forced to shoot you 3-4 times.

They give that power because it's supposed to be a more difficult gun to shoot. The auto aim alone for sniping is atrocious, much less not even looking through the scope. I will pick up a sniper rifle and use it because it's so easy, I never snipe, haven't since MW1, but on MW3? Oh yeah, piece of cake, even if I miss the auto-aim will correct my shot alot of the time.

Go outside and fire a rifle, see how terrible your shot would be if you tried what IW allows.

QSing doesn't bother me anymore. When it 1st started really picking up in popularity on MW2 it pissed me off for a while, but when I tried it myself I realised that it does actually take a lot of skill to be good at. Yes, anyone can QS, but to become good enough at it to be able to easily rock a positive K/D takes dedication, practise and skill. I now actually enjoy coming up against qsers because 9/10 times, it'll be someone either trying to learn the skill,or some noob who thinks it's cool, which means an easy kill for me. So when I come across a skilled qser, it doesn't bother me if they kill me. If they can kill me 1 shot, while I'm using a full auto, then that's a fair death for me.

If you guys actually pay attention, you know as well as I do if someone quickscoping misses their first shot, they're usually dead. If you can't hit them after that, there's a problem.

You are welcome, and I think we can agree to end this banter as friends. I apologize for the statements I made that were less than kind.

Re: Quickscoping.

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 14:25:56 GMT

Yea, look how hostile I was...I said "I have countless clips of final killcam quickscopes...If you watch the gameplay footage, you can see me scope in, and in the final kill came it shows i never looked through my scope. Believe what you want, but just because you can't do it, doesn't mean you're right. Take a lap."

That is beyond hostile...

As for your 20+ years of service to our country, thank you. I come from a military family, FYI. I just know not to get annoyed by a playstyle in a video game. There are more important things in life, you of all people should know that.

So most of us who quickscope/aggressive sniper been asking YOU guys who says it takes no skills to snipe in this game to post your gameplay dominating, helping your team mate by going POSITIVE. Or you can show us that YOU are at least somewhere around top 1-3 after the match.

I need for any of YOU people to record at least 2-3 matches because 1 match won't do anything to prove that. My suggestion to YOU guys is to play FFA since sniping takes NO skills right? So start recording people who claims quickscoping/aggressive sniping takes NO skills in this game.

Re: Quickscoping.

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 01:39:25 GMT

Oh? So an aggressive quickscope getting 2-4 pieces is no skill, but getting them with a fully auto is? LOL, these reg guns are lasers and not hard at all. Quickscoping is 10x harder. 1v1 gun fights can be pretty easy quickscoper, but its rarely just 1v1 gunfights. I'd LOVE to see a "anti-QS" play 10 games and 7/10 of them maintain ATLEAST a 1.5kd ATLEAST top 3 leadersboard each game and go agains't these "skilled" reg guns. Nah its more skilled to get the P90 put rapid fire on it and steady aim and just run through an entire team. LOL riiiiiiiiiiight.

I spent twenty years in the Navy. I served a tour during the gulf war, and three tours during the Iraq war. That is where I learned about honor. You need to have honor in everything you do in life. Everything! If you shortcut the little things, you will shortcut the big things. So, perhaps you should try joining the military. As far as being an "internet tough guy", you were the one who started this off with hostilities just because I don't agree with QS'ing. I never complained about, I just don't agree with it.

The discussion needs to be ended, no one can justify that quick scoping takes no skill. It does take skill and those arguing that it doesn't has yet to provide any proof of them doing well quick scoping, or any solid point arguing that quick scoping is cheap. Treyarch nerfed the crap out of it and ended up making it possible again because they knew that even though it would become easier, it would never beat any of the other guns unless the user had more skill.

Point being, using a reg. gun will ALWAYS be easier than quick scoping. I'd love to see anyone disagree with that. Don't believe me? Have you ever seen a sniper in a CoD Competitive event? No, the sniper is outclassed in almost every single way versus a reg. gun.

Re: Quickscoping.

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 23:23:40 GMT

Haha...calm down now. Read the other posts...it's not a flaw. It's a playstyle. The killcam you're seeing isn't what the shooter saw. Test it out in private matches if you don't believe me. And when did I ever say it was the best game?!?

LOL'd.

LOL at Killcam lag defining your opinion of quickscoping.

LOL at the word "realistic" even coming out of your mouth. Get 5 bullets in your back? Wait 30 seconds and you are restored! Get shot in the arm with a 50 cal? Walk it off. Kill 5 russians? Get a predator drone missle! Like are you f**king kidding me kid?

I would love to see you or anyone else try this "cheat" and do anything better than 1 and 17. There have been multiple players offers up to capture gameplay of those who say QSing takes no skill in this thread alone. To this day, even with complaints trailing back to pre MW2, NO ONE has stepped up to the plate and actually proven that QSing takes no skill.

Edit: LOL didn't even realize this dude was 40 years old. Funny level increased x10.

@ pat1976

Listen here genious. In game the person does have an image in their scope. However you cannot see it due to you seeing the killcam version of the shot. MW3 is flawed out the ass. Not the QSers though its the super shitty bullet damage/lag/host lag conpensation.

Also, if sniping takes 0 skill than reg gun spraying takes -6 skill. Cod isnt realistic to begin with so bringing up that reason is completely idiotic. If you cant beat them join themm you might just find out that its not as easy as it looks. As a matter of fact i invite you to post a video of yourself quick scoping and ill post a video of me using a regular gun. Lets see who gets a better score?

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 22:59:17 GMT

0_o I'm not to sure how to break this to you little buddy but the killcam doesn't represent what the other player actually saw in their screen.

I know that not being able to trust the killcam pretty much destroys your whole belief system but it will be okay, we are here for you.

Please post your dominating gameplay proving how much of an exploit and how easy it is.

Or send me a Friend request and I will post it if you don't have a cap card. (if it is good)

Yes quick scoping is made possible by all of that, but is it really an exploit? No. If you are going to hate on quick scoping hate on IW. They meant for it to be in the game. If it was an exploit, they would have addressed it and probably patched it. It's funny how this is considered an exploit even though it's been in every single CoD. After the 8th CoD, you would think that just maybe it was meant to be in the game? And don't even complain about ADS, Sway, etc. All reg guns have faster ADS, and no sway.
