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.

Sage This isnt something you can stop XD no matter what there is going to be a group of ppl trying too quickscope it just call of duty tradition


It really isn't, lol. It started in MW2, I don't recall people doing it in CoD 2 at the time...

OT: This is probably the best news and best thing CoD has done to this date since MW2. Although their will still be those kids that will try and accomplish it, at least this will put pressure on them and hopefully they get over it. I'm tired of all the kids yelling and getting mad when someone doesn't 'trickshot' or 'quickscope', like get over yourselves honestly.

Lol CoD 4 was the first in the series with multiplayer and I'm guessing you're one of those people who hate quick scoping because you suck at it.

This is stupid. Quickscoping isn't overpowered.
You can kill a few people very quick, if they're not paying attention.
If you come head on with someone who is as good with an assault rifle as you are with the sniper, you will most likely lose. The way it should be.
Plus quickscoping is fun. I rarely play COD but when I do I only find quickscoping fun, no other play style is enjoyable for me, and I'm just a casual player. I dont care about the feeds, trickshots, or really even winning anymore.

I just hope that people are not pathetic enough to make death threats to developers like last time.
