With all the connection issues f@g scopings ohk ability is incredibly annoying especially cqb where it's very easy to do, to those with Lagvantage, it most be fun thinking you're the dog's bollocks. I have played games where people can't touch me too. Until they address the matchmaking and the hosting issues, it's all very random.

It hasn't gained the nickname "Glitchscoping" for nothing. If there was no aim assist, and no half second lag compensation coded in to assist sniper rifle users to apparently "make the gun fight fair so that a sniper has time to return fire" - in other words no assists, THEN if players were dropping enemies left right and centre by quickscoping, it would be down to skill, and they would get massive kudos.

But alas glitchscoping, or cheapscoping is an exploit of piss poor game programming, which has been with us notably since MW2. People who glitchscope, have no gameplay skill themselves - in fact most finish with a barely even score (the amount of glitchscopers I see with 25 deaths a game is funny as hell!) They just know how to exploit the exploit!

Who cares, most rarely hit anything so they a not a worry.

Some of you guys think QuickScoping is a skill, personally I hate QS'ers (especially close range).

As long as anyone can pick up QS, sniping isn't a special skill. It's more like walking around, anyone can learn.

A really good sniper doesn't need QS, besides that, a sniper rifle shouldn't be effective in close range.

If IW doesn't want to block QS, why don't they create gametypes that don't allow QS?

I'm no good at Hardcore modes, so that's not an option for me.

i thought it was skill at first, but then i tried it out my self and dropped a few guys at 10 or so yds. it's like 'curving a bullet' i don't think there's any skill to it at all. i don't often use sniper rifles mostly because i can't be in one place for too long. snipers are, however, some of my favorite targets. just thinking they maybe watched their killcam and saw that i iron sighted them from across the map makes me feel fuzzy inside. i always hear more complaints about hardscopers than quickscopers. like a corner camper complaining about run-n-gunners.

Im a quick scoper and it takes skill cause you have people using assaults rifles, smgs, lmgs, and shotguns while you have a sniper and trust me quick scoping is not easy.

I agree with every single one of your points.

I honestly don't even like this game. I only play it because one of my good friends still plays it. I'd much rather play BF3.

< 1 K/D players will always whine about getting scoped. Someone fast & with positioning sense will kill them a lot in an one on one, especially in ffa where one on one battles are common.

This game is stupidly balanced anyway. Too many cqb oriented maps. No gun should have qdraw ads speed (like in cod4) and Assassin shouldn't counter half of the things in the game. Don't get me started on support or kick on guns like the mp7 & acr which should have more kick built in not even less optionally and the recoil patterns on the mp5, ump, cm901, 47, p90, pm9, m16 need to just be 10-20 % less from the start. Also no akimbo ability on machine pistols. Shotguns are primaries let them reign supreme cqb, not some secondaries.

why would he be saying we developed this new way to snipe.. it's not new... You can see videos of people all over youtube quickscoping in Call of Duty 2.... Quickscoping was popularised by MW2 and the addition of SoH pro which made it much easier to do and more effective in CQC... Like I said before (if you actually read what I said correctly) I do not know if this was intentional on the part of the devs for MW2...

If someone from the company who make the game and who's job is to promote the game and the features, says "yeah there will be quickscoping in MW3".... then I don't know what reality you could be living in where that can mean anything other than quickscoping is an intentional part of MW3's design... that's all you asked me to prove

still waiting for you to explain the QS aim-assist exploit... I'm not really because I know you can't cos you haven't got a clue about it... wouldn't that be easier to do... just write that down in unequivocal technical fact and put me and all the other exploiters in our place?

If you think its an exploit or glitch youre a moron, plain and simple. If you think its an unfair advantage, youre something worse.

I never once in any of my posts said anything about a pig (except asking you about your fetish). I certainly haven't posted anything that supports your position.

And yes, you are a moron. Or a troll. Or both.

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 24 May 2012 20:00:05 GMT

Why do you keep talking to me about pigs? Do you have a secret infatuation with farm animals?

I've said all I need to say to support my side. Until you come up with even a shred of evidence to the contrary, I will continue to call you what you have to be, a troll or a moron.

BTW, if you are a troll, I say bravo. You have done your job.

Oh, and I do make videos but I post full unedited gameplays. I show my kills along with my deaths and the final scoreboard.
