Titanfall: quick-scoping & no-scoping are ‘ineffective’, says Respawn

4.6
Titanfall developer Respawn Entertainment has responded to queries about those most debated of shooter tropes; quick-scoping. The studio has labelled the technique and no-scoping ‘ineffective.’

It follows this new Titanfall trailer, showing off the Atlas mech in all its stompy glory.

Now, over on the Respawn forum, one developer wrote, “Sniping is in the game, but due to how the game plays it’s a pretty different animal than you’ll find in your run of the mill modern military shooter. Quick scoping and no scoping are ineffective.”

Quick-scoping is a method of aiming in Call of Duty that sees a player using the game’s auto-aim to zero in on a target for a one-shot kill. It’s not cheating, but it’s notorious for pissing people off, seeing as sniper rifles are powerful, given their history as long range weapons. Using them up close like that – it is argued – upsets the shooter’s balancing. No-scoping on the other hand, is scoring kills without aiming the sniper rifle at all.

It remains to be seen just how sniping will be used in Titanfall. We’ll have to wait until March to find out.

What’s your take?

Here comes the "Thank god quickscoping's out" or "quickscoping was the dumbest thing put into a First Person Shooter". You guys complain more than snipers themselves. I'd expect ACTUALL snipers be mad at this but no, it's the people against snipers. Nobody cares about how you feel about snipers. Typical hypocrites. First you're mad at getting "hard-scoped" in a corner across the map, to getting your panties in a twist because you got quickscoped.

pleh Are you serious?
Quick-Scoping. I am not getting this game.
Complete let down.


You're not buying a game purely because you can't do the most pointless, attention seeking and irritating thing that ever hit FPS games?
Wow, you're more annoying than I first thought, with your near 1k posts in way under a month.


Its up to me what I like and dont like about a game
Oh and I dont care what you think about me, your opinions towards me mean nothing, why bother lel.

Thank God! I'm so annoyed by quick scoping. It is the dumbest thing to put in a video game.

Quick scoping is one of if not the dumbest thing a video game can offer.

I am so happy they took it out and keeping people away that just do it and lose the game for the whole team.
