Quickscoping. You either love it or hate it. In Call of Duty 4 sniper lobbies were always around but it seemed in Modern Warfare 2 it leaked out on mass into public matches. Well if you are one of those people who hated it you’ll be pleased to know that Treyarch have done something about it.
While not removing it in any way Treyarch have set out to at least make it a little more challenging than in Modern Warfare 2 in their upcoming title CoD: Black Ops.The multiplayer director at Treyarch, David Vahn Vonderhaar, tweeted that “Sleight of Hand Pro does not work with any sniper class weapon.”
Will snipers enjoy the extra challenge or will this just cause them to lay down their sniper rifles for the much more run and gun friendly assault rifle? Well it seems we will have to wait till November when Black Ops is released to find out.

September 21, 2010 at 3:49 PMyay, no more people that think they’re cool by missing 50 quick-scope attempts, then dieing on search and destroy

September 21, 2010 at 4:57 PMIts about time they do this. The hard scopers shall rise again.

September 22, 2010 at 5:04 AMto tell u the truth sleight of hand and stopping power were my to fav perks now there both gone it should still be cool with all the new features anyway

September 22, 2010 at 5:06 AManyway snipers were made for hard scoping u dont see hitler giving a jew a quickscope do you

September 22, 2010 at 3:10 PMThats is so stupid. Quickscoping took skill either way, you have one shot to make or else the noob with the smg is going to merk you…It was an awesome part of the game and made amazing videos too show off, once the game got old the hardness of qs lessened but it dosen’t matter doing 360’s for the final kill cam is awesome. However, COD4 did sniping was actual sniping and I guess its time to remake this game back to the old days just better because MW2 direction with the game was an utter fail. its an up and a down!
darren
September 22, 2010 at 4:35 PMno soh and stopping power is crap quickscoping was de only good thing in cod 6 and now it is gone they have messed this game already
JSELiteGames
September 22, 2010 at 4:43 PMget rid off all the so called “show” sniper and leave the hard ass tactical snipers
Bradley
September 23, 2010 at 2:01 AMMost good quickscopers in MW2 don’t use SoH anyway, so I
sam
September 23, 2010 at 5:26 PMso it just makes it easier for the people who already use guns that are eaiser to use, they better put some sweet ass acog scope on snipers like in cod 4 cos that thinkg was awsome
The Truth
September 23, 2010 at 6:01 PMI’m pretty sure most people dislike “quickscopers” because they’re shit snipers. There’s very few players in pubs who are actually capable of quickscoping. There’s decent snipers, but they’re usually closer to hardscoping than quickscoping. Honestly, it’s a misguided move making SoH unavailable to snipers. How many quickscopers do you see in MLG matches? Very few, because quickscoping is 10x harder than just using a Famas16 and is only effective in certain situations where you don’t have time to switch to a secondary. Could it be that treyarch is simply trying to appease the whiners, who will find any facet of the game to blame their failures on? Other than noobtubes, commando, and an unbalanced party system, there’s not many things that are legitimate problems. It’s just become trendy to say “Modern warfail is bullshit!”

September 25, 2010 at 8:01 AMI think that “quickscoping” was corny and tiresome to die before I can even see what’s happening. The natural lag of the game kills any chance of killing the noob running around with a sniper rifle. We all know that sniper rifles were not intended for that. I don’t see anything wrong with sniper rifles being left to snipers.
I would give the thumbs up to quickscopers if they actually had to hit their targets for hits and kills. I have watched many killcams where the QSer fires and misses by feet and they are awarded the kill. When I use the same weapon and hit someone center-mass, nothing happens.
I think my opinions would be different if the shots that hit kill and the ones that miss don’t.

September 26, 2010 at 5:22 AMI dont like saying im a great quickscoper, but many people say i am. I dont like showing off or anything like that, but i have something to add :) i observed that in cod 6, if you quickscope with SoH pro, and then quickscope without SoH pro, the accuracy is the same, but u just have to get used to it looking kinda funny without SoH pro, and it does take a bit more skill in my opinion, but id like to try some public matches quickscoping without SoH pro in MW2 before i play black ops, cause’ by reading this you should probably know im into quickscoping alot. Dont get me wrong, i use the assaults and SMG’s and stuff like that, but im into qucik scopes. So, a little practice and a little patience can get us quickscopers back up and running, eh?

September 26, 2010 at 12:28 PMI personally dont hate quickscopers. There are much worst thing in MW2 than quick scoping such as noob tubers, camping, and 4 hitmarkers to someone’s head and they live. Athough I do admit, it did get annoying when everyone decided to start quickscoping. There would be times where you would get quick scoped right in your own spawn. I think what treyarch is trying to do is make the game more challenging so that it actually takes some skill to get kills like in halo rather than getting lucky
orgyinufishtank
September 26, 2010 at 1:50 PMquickscoping and knife throwing were the only things that actually took skills do to on mw2
AJ
September 26, 2010 at 6:26 PMMan, The reason why people used snipers was because it was fun and challenging, automatic weapons are so much easier to use, by encouraging former snipers and quick scopers to switch to fully automatic weapons will just pack the game with tons of better players, and discourage noobs from continuing to play :D

October 1, 2010 at 12:02 PMCOD is supposed to be realistic to Trayarch and Fun to IW.. trayarch are taking fun things out to make it realistic and IW and putting fake stuff in to make it more fun.. you wouldnt see snipers in real life quick scoping lol but quick scoping is a lot of fun!
BlackFox
October 1, 2010 at 6:16 PMThat idea sux…no more qs????damn
Sniperpig69
October 4, 2010 at 7:34 AMSeriously? no more qs?

October 6, 2010 at 10:37 PMLol every1 Saying There Removing QS when there not, they are jus making SohPro not work on snipers, if your gd at QS you should be able 2 do it without SohPro anyways.
Kev
October 8, 2010 at 2:03 PMOkay, BullSHIT… The reason I want Black Ops is for new maps and new Sniper Rifles to quickscope with. I’ll wait till my friend gets it have a few games with the sniper and if it sucks I’m not getting the game. I’ll have Medal Of Honor to mess around on. Fuck Treyarch for once again making COD SHIT.

October 8, 2010 at 5:57 PMNotice how Infinity Ward sold the two top-selling Call of Duties. I mean sure, Nazi Zombies was fun and all…
badballensniper
October 10, 2010 at 2:31 PMthis is honestly the gayest thing that they can every do.. now quickscoping is gunna be the worst thing in the game and honestly… fucken treyarch sucks compared to infinity ward they made the 2 best cod games and cod WAW sucked hairy sacks.. so treyarch is making such a bad name for themselves on this decision
Ownagetbh
October 13, 2010 at 12:50 AMy the fuck would you take quickscoping out… it is challenging to be good at it and it made so many ppl keep playing mw2… so to take the ability to quickscope out of the game is a real finicial loss because i guarantee not as many ppl are going to buy it now… bravo treyarch you’ve made another shitty ass game… personally i suggest you go back and fucking put sleight of hand in the game
ConfinedPC
October 13, 2010 at 12:48 PMDon’t care. You can still qs it’s just not a fast. But all the qsers (like me) should be happy because they are making some snipers 1 shot kills anywhere
Haiqal
October 14, 2010 at 8:19 AMNo Sleight of Hand Pro will be suckish man . Pro’s cant do their pro stuff . Too bad for u noobs who cant quickscope. There are other worst things then quickscoping such as tactical knifing and all so wth man .
Alexc
October 16, 2010 at 2:43 AMWell there goes 75% of the CoD community … Count me out :/
meh
October 17, 2010 at 3:32 AMWHAT THE FUCK? So because people whine about how they get quickscoped by a “noob” running around with a sniper rifle it must be removed? Apparently QS’ing is luck? WELL FUCK OFF. NO SCOPING heard of that? that must be skill because they’re not taking it out right? according to the whinging fags. SO ARE TEHY GOING TO MAKE IT SO THAT YOU CANT SHOOT A SNIPER WHEN IT’S NOT SCOPED IN? Fucking idiots.

October 21, 2010 at 3:14 AMlol, there was rarely such a thing as QS in CoD4. I love how everybody complaining about it likely came late to the boat in the CoD series and plays on Xbox. QS sounds friggen retarded to me and is probably only used on consoles (since it has an aim assist feature anyway, doesn’t make it all that difficult). Good for Treyarch bringing CoD back to its roots a little bit. CoD used to be a game of skill, but ever since MW2 and WaW, it’s just been a garbage series filled with even more garbage players (especially on consoles). PC gamers will always be the true elite! I bet none of these QS kids ever even played CoD1 or the UO expansion. Now THOSE were great CoD games.
Nico
October 23, 2010 at 8:39 PMI don’t get why the hate on quickscoping treyarch. There’s plenty of BS in MW2 that isn’t being taken out, hell they even added ballistic knifes. Maybe it might go back to how it was in COD4, if it doesn’t then once again Treyarch has failed… Just hope the Zombies are fun
flip_ecks
October 25, 2010 at 1:18 PMThis is total BULLSHIT… the one thing that took skill, practice, patience, and time, is gettin removed because people bitched bout it. Ok then they should get rid of grenade launcher, at4, rpg, tac knife or ne other shit noobs used just to get kills. There are way way worse things then qsing in mw2. Like campers. Boosters. Etc. When you qs online almost every other player has a great advantage over you. If you qs you kno what im talkin about. If you dont then think bout it, when you qs you basically have one shot to get the kill. Unlike a assualt rifle or smg. Dont fuckin cry like a bitch cause you get raped by a qser, because all it means is to step ya game up and learn how to shoot. Btw there are people who can qs w/o soh pro i myself am learning how to for black ops, so what now! Bitches!
StriiCt_Truth
October 29, 2010 at 6:30 AMoh great the one thing that was fun for the last 6 months of mw2 is being taken, but no they wont take out noob tubes, rpgs, TACTICAL INSERTIONS, guarantee there will still be 12 year old hackers all over the fucking place with their shitty aimbots and god mode, that will stay.
and apparently its ‘nooby’ to run around with a sniper, but when we get killed by ur scar-h extended mags, or ump silenced, then get spawn raped by an rpg, then try to qs you and get killed by a claymore, how do you think we feel? Why take the fun out of the game? theyve even put a FLAMETHROWER attachment on ffs?
Got a feeling this game is gonna be full of the biggest fucking try hards ever.
Truth here, SIGNING OUT!
Guillie_milleR
October 29, 2010 at 9:12 PMTreyarch is making a huge mistake. most of the fags who cry when they get raped by a skilled quickscoper can´t pull off those shots and never snipe properly because when they play using bling pro with a heartbeat and a thermal scope and camp for the whole game, they are always getting owned by run and gunners. the point of sleight of hand on modern warfare 2 was to give snipers a chance to survive agains assault rifles, lmg, smgs and even machine pistols (!!!) that could put you down with 2 bullets when equipped with stopping power! quickscoping is fun and has saved my life countless times but guess what… i am not a dumb quickscoper, i use it only when i don´t have time to switch to my secondary. and now people are crying and the most difficult and challenging thing about mw2 is going to be nerfed, however i bet the other weapons are not going to have recoil, will kill even faster and will perform at long range perhaps better compared to real sniper rifles (they may kill you before you fucking adjust your aim!!!) FUCK YOU TREYARCH I AM GOING TO KEEP PLAYING MW2 and COD4 .|.
nick
November 7, 2010 at 1:58 PMI think it is stupid to get rid of quickscpe. This person that decided to do this a damn retarded. They would make more money with quickscope i know so many people that do it. Like me and my friends do it all the time on mw2 but since it doent have it on black ops im just not going to buy it…. I just want to beat that persons ass that did that.. man that pisses me off….
