Call of Duty Ghosts: quick-scoping may be gone completely, says Rubin

4.4
Call of Duty: Ghosts may not included quick-scoping, according to Infinity Ward’s Mark Rubin. That’s either a huge relief or reason for concern, depending on which side of the one-shot fence you sit.

Speaking on Twitter at the weekend, Rubin penned a statement on the matter to fans:

Update/Clarification regarding Sniper Rifles:

One of the areas that is getting lot of love in Call of Duty: Ghosts is the Sniper Rifle. By creating the Marksman class we were able to focus the Sniper class on really powerful high-caliber weapon systems. We feel, and many of the pro players who have played would agree, that sniping has never been better.

The changes we’ve made, like dual render scopes and increased damage really make snipers a great competitive class to use. We’ve also done a lot with map design (sight lines and cover) to ensure that all classes are viably effective. Both short range and long range classes will be effective on the same maps.

However in re-envisioning sniper rifles some aspects, such as sway timing, have changed the way sniper rifles function and so traditional “quick-scoping” has been affected. Is it gone completely? Maybe. It certainly won’t be viable in the way it previously was. Can’t wait for you snipers out there to get your hands on these new sniper rifles and try them out for yourselves.

See you in game!
-Mark

Personally, sniper rifles are powerful because they demand skill at long range. That’s where the balancing kicks in. Using a sniper rifle to the same effect at point blank range is a balance-breaker in my book, but then again everyone’s different so there’s no right or wrong answers here.

That said, what do you feel about the possibility of quick-scoping disappearing? Let us know below.

I am so glad ! I was in a lobby earlier with this little kid complaining about me Sniping, he was like quit hardscoping you suck. And then I told him hardscoping wasn't a word and he said it was in the dictionary ! Right when I heard him say that I just took my mic off and went to do something else, this game is ruined.

Shatterrr Get rid of quickscoping all together it's gone too far and is ruining call of duty, not to mention all the underaged kids who try to copy "quick scoping" they are taking over and ruining what could be a great game, fair enough people want to make great episodes or montages, you don't need quickscopes or shitty gay 360's just to make them.


How is it ruining Call of Duty? Please enlighten me, when I get 'quickscoped' I hold down x and move on with my life. You may argue that it's not realistic, but there are many unrealistic things that Call of Duty has, so what exactly is the problem with such a pointless issue? Oh yeah, the problem are the individuals such as yourself complaining about such pointless aspects of the game, making life harder on Infinity Ward (and it's not just with 'quickscoping', there's a problem with every little thing). Just because you are continuously getting overpowered by something doesn't mean it's ruining the game itself, just learn ways to get around it and strike.


I completely agree with your opinion. I don't see quickscoping as a threat and never did nor do I see trickshotting as a threat. The game was never realistic in the first place and people complain about all most anything and can't just face the fact that they died.


Yeah, it was more of an arcade shooter. But it did get annoying in search and destroy since you only had one life.

You know, I feel like quick scoping is getting out of hand. I go into a Search and Destroy match on any game and if I use any gun besides a sniper I have half the lobby yelling at me for being a "Try hard" like, come on, that's taking a little bit to far. Now I feel like if you want to quick scope then you should go back to the traditional games where it was big and where it will always be, like Call of Duty 4 or Modern Warfare 2. Because the competitive scene is growing and I think it is time they worry about making it more balanced so somebody can't get a B*ll s*it kill on you and think their good. It was great in the older games but I think it is good that they are getting rid of it.

That's my opinion on this situation.

I hope it doesn't include quickscoping maybe now I won't have little kids who think they are something getting lucky shots on me and/ or raging when it doesn't quite go their way.

Wagering I wish they would leave some things alone...


Um I like QS but I think it was going to far


Yes, it was fun at first but then little boys discovered it. EVERY LOBBY had kids screaming about it.

I agree with them being powerful because of long range, I hope they do remove it.
