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.

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.


I read all of what you said and how does it make life harder on infinity ward exactly? they are the ones who make the game they do what they please yeah they might listen to people in the commuinty... I dilike call of duty the majority of the time and choose not to play it, I'm a gears player, a game which takes a hell of a lot more skill to play and I invite any of you cod fan boys to actually be good that, cause cod is a game that you need no skill to play over the years it has been made so much more noob friendly, so much that my grandmother could pick up a controller and no scope someone across a map. I'm done you are all silly and pathetic and you always argue such pointless things.


Sorry sir, I am not a huge fan of the CoD series as a whole (Play for singleplayer mostly) but any game takes skill to play. Whether it's GoW, NFL, CoD, Battlefield, you cannot simply pick up a controller and instantly get 40 kills in a match without having some type of skill. If you are going to argue against my statement of GoW needing a FAR greater amount of skill (Which completely an opinion as I have played both and none is exceedingly harder than the other)then if you may, take your fanboyism elsewhere. Oh, by the way, how would you feel to be (In this case) Infinity Ward getting over a thousand messages every single day about the same pointless issue, even the best of us would get slightly paranoid. To solve such an issue and keep their customers, they would have to fix the problem. This makes life harder on them because they have to edit an aspect of the game multiple times, yes their may be bugs that is mandatory to fix, but these people take it to the extreme and constantly complain about the same thing. Note: If you really think I am silly and pathetic for stating my opinion over the internet, then please take a look at your comment and explain to me how pathetic it supposedly isn't.


Fanboyism? Hmmm no, and it's not my opinion even if it was it's the right one, go to any LAN or MLG, EGL competitive event and ask which takes more skill moron.

I'm not bothered too much if it stays or goes, because im an alright quickscoper but I don't do it that much, however I still think there will be a way to "quick" scope.

Yah with one life it could get a bit annoying but a lot of guns could easily out power a quickscoper. Plus if he missed the quickscope you most likely would clean up a free kill. I do see where you're coming from though :)

But I do agree with you of the fact little children are taking over the game (and many other mature games), I am fine with 11,12,13+ year old children playing, but when it comes to the point where 6, 7, and 8 year old children are playing a killing game going around blasting foul language, that's going too far. However, that's not the fault of the games but the result of bad parenting.

agentbutters I don't like quick scooping, but they could have made a game mode just for quick scooping.


I think that could get boring pretty quickly, quickscoping was unrealisitic and I'm excited about it getting removed.


"Quickscoping was unrealistic" Call of Duty, actually most FPS's, in general are unrealistic.


Are you a spaz!? you think CoD is realistic!?

WTF are you talking about? Can't you read? I obviously said UNrealistic. Re-read the comment before you reply.
