Re: Say No to quick scoping.


I voted yes because I'm a rebel. For quick scoping to be in the game there would have to be some form of aim assist, which is generally only needed for console shooters because aiming with analogue sticks is wonky at best. The mouse/keyboard combo is far more intuitive so aim assist isn't needed. In addition, (and this is from what I've seen in the E3 coverage and demos so it might change) sniper rifles seem to be only capable of 1 shotting other infiltrators, possibly a few medium classes with headshots, and that was with the NC sniper rifle which was single shot. I don't think quick scoping will be an issue.

It's such a non-factor that I don't even know why I bothered writing that out.

The OP fails to describe what quick scoping is. Not very helpful when making a poll.

Forgive my ignorance, but after reading all posts I'm still not sure what it is. Is quick scoping the CoD auto-aim feature?

Or is it simply the ability to put a short or mid range scope on a sniper rifle? (BF3 lets you do this). How is that different than putting a short or mid range scope on an assault rifle? You still have to deal with single shot, long reload etc.

I figured it was a reference to his signature.

Which by the way while unrelated to the topic at hand and while supremely cool and awesome, it's a bit too vibrant.

It's best just to provide a video of what it is. Lord, please forgive me.

Wait, what is Hard Scoping? Is that when you're trying to get a scope out and no matter how much muscle you put into it all you get are little shavings because digging into that bucket of icecream is like trying to chip away at a block of concrete?

Hard-scoping is looking down your scope and aiming your shots like a regular person.

There is also a huge difference in a hitscan game vs bullet drop with quick scope.

Harder to pull of with travel time etc.

What Sephirex said, its just using a scope properly.

When I was looking up what the hell quick scoping was the first time I came across the term I also found much hate for 'Hardscoping' which was the most retarded shit I had ever heard, I could not figure out how the hell 'Hardscoping' even was a thing.

EDIT:

Anyway, to add some proper input to this thread...

My issue with 'quickscoping' is the fact that it only works because for some reason as soon as the scope in animation finishes your rifle becomes perfectly accurate. Its basically taking advantage of a broken mechanic to make use of a weapon in a situation where it is rather over powered and not supposed to be used.

So i doubt PS2 will have quickscoping be a thing, since im sure the devs would have to try hard to make somthing so broken. Its ok to have sniper rifles work at close range, just as long as they are the worst option you have, maybe even worse than using a pistol.

Just make it similar to Arma II and you solve the problem. Making things similar to Arma II solves just about every problem. Except for optimization, of course

Yes! Also optimization is a word for people to throw around who can't run arma 2. there are options there for a reason.
