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?

Driven Good. I think every military FPS should be doing this. Quick scoping and trickshotting takes no skill whatsoever. It just takes luck.


Well you are an idiot. It takes more skill, everybody knows this. Oh and they say there won't be quickscoping but that is probably bulls*it! Just like on CoD : Ghosts


for some people maybe but 90% of trickshotters/quickscopers just mindlessly shoot and miss all their shots

Good quick scoping isn't a thing in this game.

Zinx I've never played this game but it sounds like that takes away from some of the fun in the game.


It hasn't been released yet. That's probably why you haven't played it yet :P

I think it'll be great that 12 year old kids won't be running around quick scoping people. That isn't Sniping.

Gossip If its effective you'll have Titanfall montages and all that other COD bs come over.


pretty much, youtube is far too saturated with call of duty gameplays in my opinion


Me too, they aren't entertaining either.


Only a few commentators are actually interesting these days, i guess after watching so much of it the game just gets boring.
