So, This Is What Quickscoping Is All About?

 

For my first time ever, I decided to quickscope for an entire match, and these are the highlights. I went 8 and 7, game mode was Hardcore Domination (probably not the best mode to start out with, but wtf? i jumped in head first), and.. I admit it felt satisfying to get such an easy kill from a distance. It happened more often than I thought it would, too. My seven deaths mainly came from enemy killstreaks. The last kill surprised the hell out of me because I could barely see him, yet I killed him before he could even hit me. The shots where I zoomed in more than once was me getting over-confident with this crap. Thinking I could practically no-scope because of how simple quickscoping was.

 

What do you think of quickscoping? Do you think it deserves a nerf in Black Ops 2 or are there bigger issues? Do you quickscope in public lobbies, clan battles, or just in private matches with friends?

    were those kills or just hitmarkers...try using a better on hit one kill sniper like the msr or L118(or whatever its called)

     

    but i do think QS is stupid and absurdly unrealistic (yea i know this game has alot of unrealistic things but this is just absurd ,hopefully they nerf that **** in BOPs 2

    I wish QSing would just go away.  I know it won't go away but I wish it would.

    None of those kills were even large distances, and at 33 seconds wasn't a quick scope just a lucky shot.

     

    Besides going for long range quick scopes is stupid. Show me a video where you get close 1v1 confrontations and win them. The entire point of quick scoping is so you can defend your self in close situations where you can't pull out your secondary.

     

    Quick scoping is not a play style so don't treat it like one.

     

    Also it's not exploiting aim assist. Aim assist won't lock onto the target or snap onto the target for you. It's not like that now and hasn't been that way.

     

    Also all of your kills were from that 1 building, try moving around.

     

     

    There won't be any quick scoping in Black Ops 2 just like in Black Ops... Oh wait.

      I'd have to disagree with your statement that quick scoping isn't a playstyle.  What would you call a player that runs and guns constantly quick scoping people down?  I don't KNOW if it's an exploit of aim assist or not, but hitting from that range without really aiming, is either an exploit, great skill or luck.  Taking into consideration that luck only goes so far, it's either crazy skill or an exploit of aim assist.

        It's not a playstyle, I've been quick scoping for 4 years. Players who treat quick scoping as a playstyle are those same players who go negative every game.

         

        And all he was doing was putting the player in the approximate center, scoped and shot. So yeah... luck. If he was drag scoping those shots there would have been an element of skill involved.

         

        And aim assist won't aim for you, lock onto the target for you, nor will it force the crosshairs of the scope on an enemy even if your reticule isn't perfectly on them.

          I gotcha.  I'm not bashing quick scopers.  Good ones make it look WAAAAAAY easier than it really is.  I'm with you on using QS as an "oh sh!t" manuever.  I enjoy sitting back and picking people off (mainly with a drink in hand) once in awhile, and I've QS'd people at close range a handful of times.  Most of the time though in close quarters, it doesn't work out.

           

          It just blows my mind how people can be so accurate without even looking through the scope if aim assist plays no role.

    Quickscoping is unbalanced. It takes a normally balanced weapon and makes it a one hit kill at all ranges which is unbalanced. Qscopers are easy wins for me though because they never play the objective. You were never even close to a flag.
