No quick-scoping in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, promises SH

4.4
Sledgehammer’s Michael Condry is promising no quick-scoping in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.

Speaking to 3 News, he said that the development team has worked hard to balance classes, leaving less room to exploit auto-aim and diminish the semi-realistic nature of the shooter.

“Let me put it this way, sniper classes are not going to be overpowered relative to their peers,” he said. “The ability to master a sniper rifle and be great at it will be equal to the ability to master any other class.

“We’ve done some things to make sure snipers are not able to take advantage of their properties – for example, there are attachments based on weapon classes that are specific. The ability to quick-draw with an assault rifle is important, but you don’t want to have the ability to quick-draw with a sniper rifle because that lends itself to being a faster, quick-scope model.

“We spent a lot of time trying to focus on it so I think sniper class players will find that it’s a really rewarding experience, but it won’t be over-powered relative to their peers.”

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is out November 3 for Day Zero pre-orders.

there will still be people trying to do it regardless

If you think this is true, go look up "Advanced Warfare quickscoping" on YouTube. Quickscoping is still very useful.

I never see qs's who go on huge killstreaks. Matter of fact, if anything, they're even under-powered in relative to their peers. Stupid decision imo

Completely disinterested in this years CoD, even more after watching this..

I'm just tired of all the kids that try to trick shot and cry in Search when you kill them, as if they think they own the game mode.

DomixinPosted:

This is a complete lie. They might have tried making it a little tougher to quickscope but it is still very possible and sniping will be just as relevant as it has been in every other Call of Duty. There is already a lot of quickscoping gameplay on YouTube from snipers who were invited to play AW. They said it's harder to learn and master, but it will still be used a lot. They can try all they want to "limit" quickscoping but those who are good at it will always be able to do it.

The first Black Ops did the best job at preventing quick scoping. I don't plan on buying AW, but good for them.

Not hating on AW, but Ghosts said the exact same thing and people still quick scoped on it.
