When the game of Brink will be released, can it be possible for sniper rifles to quickscope? :gun:

I sincerely doubt it and hope not. Seriously I want to watch some lights try and quickscope a heavy before getting destroyed in a hail of lead.

Probably. I mean you can even put a red dot on it so I don't know why you'd quick scope when you can shoot it like a semi auto rifle. (or a bolt action rifle depending on which light rifle you use). But yeah, you probably can quickscope.

I don't see you in a while MECH and then I see post by you talking about quickscopes? What happend to you?

To answer your question though. I hope not.

Let me rephrase myself its it possible probably will it be effective highly unlikely. http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSBz9YscNUHGmWqeEQvVclJA9f2XnK_CjeTRMyptHMKcc6WCbNZtw&t=1

Yes and no. Yes, you can scope in quickly and accurately, since you don't even have to put sights on your short rifles if you don't want to. But no, you won't kill people in one shot, especially not with quickscoping, since you're much less likely to get a headshot.

I wouldn't try it, personally. From what I've seen, the short rifles are definitely suited to longish-range combat, and not very good at all for shotgun-range combat.

I'll rephrase it like Wraith's also, people will do it and it won't be that affective.

I like bolt action rifle for my quickscoping and I don't use semi-auto rifles like hardscopers do...

You know sniper rifles aren't OHK except headshots on unbuffed lights. :spotted owl:

Yeah, like others said, it wouldnt be good because after you shoot them they will survive and just kill you before you can get your second shot.

He just asked if it was possible so I said yes. I didn't say it was going to be effective like they are in COD games.

Could've mention about COD games........

Don't see like it. It seems like it can be done, but not effectively. You'd have to hope to get a headshot on an unbuffed light.

Me too man, me too. :yes:

*looks at sig*

I hope there will be realistic recoil in the game so when the QS noobs try to do their thing, The but of the rifle kicks them in the face. but sadly this will not be the case

You're certainly welcome to bring a scoped rifle into close quarters with shotguns, SMG's and assault rifles, but I think anyone with any common sense knows what the result will be

A sniper in a situation where quick scope is needed should roll with the punches and be crafty. Get out the pistol, run for help or a better spot, or just fire and take your chances.

I gave up on COD even after 4, with the fast-paced attitude contradictory to the war setting. Where I do have experience is in TF2 where it's not common but some players employ insta-headshots on the weaker classes. Super snipers are able to headshot me as a scout when I'm at scattergun range. I've seen one dude slowly walking around a corner to headshot an enemy at too close for comfort range and cause instantaneous death like it's nothing. Happening once in comprehensible and sympathetic, multiple times make you feel cheated. The whole point of the sniper charge is to prevent insta-headshots on slower and active classes the second that they come in range. It didn't occur to Robin Walker that some people are godlike.

No scoping should be luck or steadiness. In essence, cheating death shouldn't happen every second.

First of all: No snipers

Second: Quick scoping is stupid. That is not what a sniper is supposed to do. You are supposed to support your team from a distance, Not run up and shoot people point blank with them. That make snipers annoying. They are annoying in general, but when you start to run around with them it gets bad.

Too many conflicting opinions on play styles lead to quick scoping in the first place. If people wouldn't stab their snipers in the back (like in MAG) for doing their job quick scoping wouldn't be as popular.

But there's quickscoping, the abuse of a flaw in games like CoD, where pulling up the scope enables the aim assist so the player essentially locks on to the target,

and there's quickscoping, where the player pulls the rifle up and actually sees what he's shooting at and pulls the trigger. The latter isn't really any different from you aiming your weapon so why does that cause a problem for you?

And no scoping should be just as legit as hipfire with any other weapon, at close ranges of course. I can point the barrel fairly accurately without staring through a sight so why should I be punished just because you got too close to me before trying to kill me? I normally switch to my pistol anyways, but just because I have a scope on my weapon doesn't mean I should be "punished" at closer ranges.

I agree with everything you just said..But...Read your sig :spotted owl:

If a Quickscoper in Call of Duty misses, he usually fires a second shot right after. And often enough that one is a killshot.

So I guess there will be people who manage to put two shots into you with a light rifle before you can even turn around.

Killing people quickly with a "sniper"? Sure. Definitely. I'm going to be trying that out.
Killing people while in the process of scoping-in? No. Not a chance. Ok, one chance. You've got the motion down, you're a pro, and your target is a wounded light without a buff. I can see that. However, as I understand the compendium, a player is "downed" when their health bar is depleted. Once downed, you have to shoot them some more to kill them.

I don't doubt that "snipers" will be very good tools for eliminating enemies. I do doubt Brink resembling Call of Duty beyond the fact that you shoot people and can throw grenades.



Make nice with that book depository, son; you won't get many kills playing quick-draw McGraw in this game.

I see it playing more like Halo then COD. What I mean is up close and mid range, people will probably hip fire but far away they'll zoom in.

"Than", Texas boy. And you gotta tell how it is, I'm moving right next door to you soon.
Sorry if my jackhammer wakes you, I always have it on "vibrate".


In regards to the subject at hand, I understand what you're saying. Truthfully, Halo doesn't leave as much room as CoD does for a player to do flashy stuff to record and montage. I think with Brink, the stunts are gonna be SMART kills. If you pull one off with a short rifle, kudos. I expect plenty of SMG and AR kills. Lots of lights running around, flipping over this and pole-dancing on that, spraying the nearest enemy. Don't get me wrong, I'm going to try that. My point is that as much of a liability as trying to quick-scope will be, I'm not concerned with it.

Never said quick scopes are going to work, just said at short or mid range, people wont do the typical COD ADS style but more of the Halo "I have a small reticle already looking at you, why should I zoom?". :wink_smile:
