Firstly, I wouldn't mind if quickscoping was something like this in Brink: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8_blm0VbiM

I know the debate has been on for ages, but I really just cannot understand the frustration. Quickscoping is fun, it's a skill to grasp, a skill to learn, something to keep you entertained.
In Brink, I think it would suite quite well. I know most of you have had bad experiences with "overpowered quickscoping," but in my own opinion, it's not overpowered at all.
It is much more difficult then running up to someone and shooting them in the face with a sub machine gun.

So again, I stress, perhaps give it another chance?

Quickscoping is not fun. Quickscoping is a big pile of garbage, instakills at any distance without actual need of proper skill.


Anyway, in BRINK there are no OHKs (or one-hit-takedowns for that matter) and there are no snipers. So there is no prickscoping either.

Indeed.


I think of quickscoping as shooting with a shotgun, but have high damage at any range. Quickscoping is not so difficult and is OP. To have 90% hit rate and high damage is plain ridiculous.

oh yes, how insanely realistic, you start moving your rifle to your eye and you already have a 100% chance that the bullet will land exctly where your aiming.
i still don't see how a accurate weapon, wich takes a lot of aiming, can be so accurate while your moving it to your eye... it doesn't matter wich company develops cod, it's always ridiculous

You know what fine put it in Brink.

Since sniper rifles aren't OHK kills it is useless. Let them quickscope if it isn't an effective way to play.

If you want to quickscope go play Call of Duty,

Oh yeah totally that's just what Brink needs :facepalm:

So what's the problem with quick scoping? You say it's fun but to who? YOU your the only person that has fun quick scoping, it's not a skill it's a bug that COD didn't feel like patching out and people decide to exploit it to no end. I was so glad to hear that this dumb bug took a big hit in CODBO after they decided to make the gun move after going into scope, but then all the people that found this to be a amazing tactic got mad and complained about it.

Also quickscoping not being OP yeah right. Not even looking through your scope just to get the stupid accuracy bonus for "looking" through your scope. How is that not OP? If you want to be a sniper maybe you can try actually looking through your sniper and picking your targets instead of being a Rambo with a sniper.

Does this look like fun to anyone? Lemme answer that NO it's not quickscoping should never ever be even thought about in brink because as stated many times before there are no snipers and the weapons anyone can think are "snipers" can't OHK anyway so it would be worthless to try it. So try and quick scope my heavy engie only to find that the precious quickscoping doesn't exist and then watch as you get downed in a second thinking you can try it. This dumb tactic is one of the reasons I never want to play games like COD and tend to stay with games like TF2 and ETQW because you can't do that!

Getting a Grenade in the face or a Rocket is a one-hit takedown? Or have I missed something? :l

Clearly you have missed several things. There are no rockets in the game, the only explosives are grenades. Grenades cannot OHK, but they can knock down people on top of doing damage. Soldiers are able to upgrade thrown grenades, but they still are not OHK.

Now on to the topic at hand.

Quick scoping wouldn't be so bad if snipers were not pinpoint accurate the moment you press the scope button. Heck, you shouldn't even be able to fire it when you're bringing the gun up to your eye, that's a good way to get a fractured eye socket. There should be no accuracy at all before the scope reaches your eye, and at that point there should be some delay for the accuracy that gradually improves over a couple seconds

Even then, I would be opposed to one-hit kills in general, but being able to fire before the scope even appears on screen like the two montages posted above are silly at best, stupid and annoying at worst.

From what I have heard grenades can if you are like right on top of them when they go off.

+1

Agreed, if a game includes a OHK sniper rifle they need to make sure that the accuracy is diminished when you aren't aiming and after you hit the zoom in button there should be a second or two where you can't fire to represent the fact that it takes a moment to set yourself up.

Thankfully I haven't played any multiplayer where quickscoping was used, juding from that video it's more than a little cheap.

You're still a virgin? (Not played Call of Duty/Call of Duty: Quickscope 2 )

I've never played a Call of Duty game, not my cup of tea.

I've dealt with lots of cheap multiplayer behavior, just never in CoD and quick scoping seems to be largely restricted to CoD.

Aight, well, yeah, I do believe that quick scoping is only in Call of Duty, have'nt played every FPS out there, but that's what I think, and so many complains about it becuase most have played the newer Call of Duty games.

You have spared yourself from:

- Noob Tubing (Under-barreled Grenade Launcher attachment)
- Quick Scoping (You know, that)
- Commando Knifing (Flying Soldiers with a knife heading towards you)
- Second Chancers (Using the perk Second Chance to get a second chance at your enemy, dying from someone in second chance stance is pissy)

And that's what I know people complain about in Call of Duty - Congratulations, Hungry Donner

Quickscoping makes it so players can use a weapon in an unintended way, allowing them to use the pros (high damage, accuracy) in a way where the cons (high power zoom, slow reload) don't apply as much (or at all.) Regardless if it takes "skill" or not, it is exploiting the game. Even Treyarch realized this, and disabled quickscoping in BO. http://www.codblackopsblog.com/quickscope-in-black-ops-hell-no-says-treyarch/

...but then they caved (like many devs do nowadays) and instead of sticking to what they initially believed in, they became the communities [censored] and did what they wanted (regardless if it was the "right" thing or was needed) - http://gameolosophy.com/games/action/treyarch-kneels-before-quickscopers-quickscoping-back-sort-of/

I like what some have called the devs on the CoD forums: Be-Treyarch. Way to cave in fellas.

Gotta love the guys who say QS is needed because the game is too boring otherwise

Not really man. I really dislike those self-serving idiots that cried when QSing was take out of the game. They insisted that they pwn anyone with a regular weapon. That they acted like their **** didn't stink didn't endear a lot of people to their cause. Those d-bags are part of the worst of CoD.

Ever heard of sarcasm? ^^

OHHHH.... right! I think I heard something about that. Was it a memo? Or was it something I caught on the evening news? BAND CAMP! Camp Director had a big announcement that came straight from the White House. Thanks for reminding me. Here's a cookie for you!

You're welcome ^^

LOL.

Those are explosives, not projectiles.

The big (biiiiiiiiiig) difference between those is, that a sniper-projectile travels all the way
from here |--------------------------------------------------> X to here (X is the target which is killed, btw) in under a second,
while a grenade/rocket travels
from here |--------------------------------------------------> to here over quite a time and the target has a chance to evade it.

Cooking grenades perfectly or leading the target with a rocket-launcher requires a lot more skill and luck than prickscoping.

No quickscoping. Ever. It's annoying. There are no OHK rifles. We don't need people jumping of buildings and spinning in circles trying to hit something. It makes sniping look...[censored]. Seriously, I don't care about how unrealistic this game is. Someone spinning in circles in slow motion while dreamscape plays is completely, absolutely, [censored].

Edit: Believe it or not, COD actually tried to get rid of quickscoping. The developers actually do not like it. They actually ruined sniping in the process due to the fact that it overall became harder to lock onto your target. So they unintentionally brought it back.

i never liked the inaccuracy guns have in realistic shooters. inaccuracy in guns means that every time you fire you are rolling the dice, and its stupid, if i have my crosshair on a target, while using a gun that shoots bullets, i should hit him in the game. If someone shoots me in the back, and i jump and turn around quickly and i get a shot off on his head, it should be a headshot., it shouldn't miss because you can't realistically aim while in the air. should it be a OHK? god no, but it should be a headshot. Shooters aren't supposed to be realistic, and none of the games we play are realistic, realistic isn't fun, they should be competitions of shooting skill, and not dice rolling competitions. quickscoping is just getting rid of the stupid inaccuracy that developers build into bad shooters that turn them from shooters into dice rolling competitions, so i have a hard time dismissing it.
