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?

Lia Glad quickscoping and noscoping won't be in the game, like it is in Call of Duty.


Yep, it just gets annoying.


Or maybe you just suck and can't do it..

Why do you have to say that, no one can suck at it because it requires no skill whatsoever.


Then why are you complaining about it?


Because it is stupid and silly and takes away from what is supposed to be an immersive experience.


Quickscoping is insanely easy on pretty much every call of duty game. It requires little to no skill and anyone can do it. Titanfall should not carry over this to their game.

Thank god for this, I was never a fan of 'QuickScoping' in games what so ever. Titan fall is just looking better and better in my eyes
