Yeah, make snipers realistic. Then apply realism to everything else and not just something you don't like.
No perks, killstreaks, regenerating health, having more than 1 life, reloading before the magazine is empty yet you keep the ammo, ect.

Your problem is that youre "all or nothing" on this, as IVE ALREADY TOLD YOU BEFORE.
You HAVE to compromise. Willing suspension of disbelief is necessary to make games playable, and even for works of fiction to be enjoyed. However, there IS a limit for me at least. You have to respawn in the game, obviously, but respawning right NEXT to an enemy is downright ridiculous, for example.
UAVs are believable, but youre not going to have guys jump 20 feet in the air and call it a modern warfare game. The whole point blank thing with a weapon designed SOLELY for mid-long distance combat, which has NEVER even come into the minds of any real life sniper with half a brain, breaks my suspenson of disbelief. You like QSing, obviously, but how would you feel if all shotties became one hit kills at any range and could zoom in at SR ranges bc IW pandered to a certain group of 12 year olds?

Snipers in this game hardly make it unplayable. Last time I checked some people enjoy quick scoping.
And don't try to associate an age to what someone does with a weapon, that's just ad hominem and completely baseless.

Nothing in this game makes it unplayable, the thing still turns on when I press the button, no ****. Theres no point for me when its not even fun to watch deaths that were undeserved and unavoidable. And thats not even my point, I never said QS makes mw3 unplayable. I said a psychological element was necessary for playability, how the hell did you even make THAT connection?
Notice I never said anyone of a certain age quickscopes. You just assumed I did because of a counterexample, and that had to do with shotguns and was completely hypothetical.
BUT.
It seems your willing suspension of disbelief was in fact shaken when I mentioned "12 yr old". Whats that tell you about the sheer ridiculousness of people going around, people who'd rather ADS fast to QS kill while NOT pulling out their secondaries?
If you, with a SR, get caught so fast you dont have time to pull fmgs or pistols, then you deserve that death for not positioning yourself properly and not being aware enough of people coming for you.
and I blame IW for putting in these maps, which are so SO bad, that they force people like you to go around doing that instead of acting like a normal sniper. I dont like BF, but at least their snipers play like real ones, and a huge part of that is because of the bigger, more open maps. For this topic I fault IW.

When you say "Willing suspension of disbelief is necessary to make games playable" when talking about snipers gives off the vibe that your saying it makes it unplayable.
"people who'd rather ADS fast"
So now you have a problem with people aiming...
"bc IW pandered to a certain group of 12 year olds"
Ad hominem and associating age with what someone does with a weapon.
"people who'd rather ADS fast to QS kill while NOT pulling out their secondaries?"
I'd rather scope up and get the quick kill than pull out my secondary and chase them. Secondarys don't have that great of a range, I can quick scope well out side of that range.
"If you, with a SR, get caught so fast you dont have time to pull fmgs or pistols"
With the spawns in this game that's nearly impossible

Well then you can blame the game, no? Not like BF's the only game with good enough spawns and sniping spots, BO and even mw2 were great for hardscoping.

You might as well take snipers completely out of the game then because the maps aren't big enough to snipe someone at a distance that "real" snipers do. And even if the maps were big enough everyone would ***** about how the snipers kill them from a place they can't be reached. QSing is a tactic of the game, just like camping. You may not like it, but it will always be there.

I agree. Bring Wasteland and Afghan into MW3 for free. The only default opem maps are Mission, dome, village, interchange. You would have to pay for Liberation and gulch. And maybe Invasion for the fun of it.

dude, EXACTLY. At least someone here understands how ridiculous it is that they couldnt have put in good spots for sniping. And for the record, I personally never complained about "hard to reach" spots. I'm not saying QS will disappear; I'm saying IW did multiple things to make it far more prevalent than it needs to be.

Im so tired of reading all these posts by 13 yr old about "how lame qs is"
First off, your right sniping in cod is not realistic oh yea thats b/c its a video game not a simulator, in real life a military sniper and his spotter will be droped off in the middle of no where, where he will spend days crawling on his belly to get into position to take 1 shot and to get 1 kill. Now how would that be fun in cod, first off your not going to get a "stealth" kill b/c of a little thing called kill cams, second the maps are not designed for a 2 mile shot from the middle of no where, without qs snipers are usless
And to those who say qs takes no skill,, if qs takes no skill what does? I guess thats why the ppl over at optic have made a carreer out of qs, but i guess thats b/c it takes no skill and everyone can do it.....

Sure, call ME 13 years old. Give me a reason why.
That aside, I have never said QS takes no skill. I said it is BS, which are two completely different things. Random deranks, for instance, take no skill but are BS.
Show me where I said it takes NO skill.
Also, there is absolutely no reason why they couldnt have designed this game better. They could literally have used ALL the mw2 maps and spawns, and QS would be cut in half, to very acceptable levels. Poor design causes snipers to play in CQC far more often than they should, so youll get far more QSing.
Finally; without QS, snipers are useless? Perhaps in this game, but I get nukes with mw2's barretts and 20-kd games with psg1 in BO. And I'm guessing i'm not the only one.

COD devs don't want a realistic shooter.
They want an arcade shooter that can appeal to a large amount of people.

From a purely numbers standpoint, they know how to make a huge profit with very little effort. Sure they recycled the engine, textures, models, etc, but they were able to churn out a game that made a billion dollars in what, 16 days?
I'd love a cut of that.

Yeah, but considering
1. They dont take refunds
2. They dont provide public beta/demos
3. They arent completely being truthful in the promotion (last stand/awesome dialog, anyone?)
4. They make elite auto-renew (you have to manually turn it off)
5. They dont provide certain services that cost money but make gameplay better (hiring more support, dedi-servers, etc)
By all means, I'm not saying they're not good at raking in dough. They just do it in a way that pisses off a lot of people. But what do they care right

tbh, I dont even care too much about that whole final stand thing. And what about the awesome dialog with the community? His ~10 posts on here? How many of his tweets address spawns/lag, as opposed to "wah i got banned" to one person? How many of his tweets do you think are praise and how many ask for changes?
If you want to go and defend IW as an upstanding game developer along with valve and bungie go ahead and be my guest.
If you want to call me an IW hater/biased go ahead. I LOVED IW's mw2, and I love treyarch's BO. Why would I not want to like this game? I stick with the best game developer at the moment, and IW, to me, does not deserve that title right now.
If mw4 is amazing, then I'll be a fan again.

I'm still wondering what they were thinking giving barretts 98 damage built in; also, is it just me or is the scope recoil when firing toned down?
