No “QuickScoping” in Black Ops says Josh Olin!

quick-scopeWHAT! NO QUICKSCOPE IN COD7 BLACK OPS!?!? Look out Call of Duty Community!!! It would seem that Josh Olin (JD_2020 / CM for Treyarch) has just created a COD7 Mortal SIN!!!……or has he? Yesterday he announce, while responding to his #askjd questions on twitter that there will be no QuickScope in Black Ops, he even said it’s “CHEAP”.

cdkee Nope. Quickscoping is way more annoying to a way larger group of people than the quickscoping community who loves to do it. #cheap”

WELL……..This has set off a FIRESTORM in the COD community. Apparently there are LOTS of “Quickscopers” out there, or at least those that liked it. Well I’m gonna give my opinion on this one, since it seems to be a HUGE topic right now. IMHO it is: (In MW2 that is) Quick “aim assist” this game was designed to give you the illusion that you are one of the most amazing snipers in the world by giving you the “perks” that enable quick aim and aim assist with stopping power….etc…. So basically I see it as the computer doing ALL the work. We’ve all seen knives thrown in the air 100 yards away and land in somebodies butt :D (all done thanks to the algorithms/program running the game). Hell I’ve seen martyrdom nades ROLL UPHILL and kill me. I’ve seen nades tossed at me (watched killcam) and see the nade ARC a semi circle (defying ALL physics) and land on me….WTH???? So in a nutshell, I call it “Aim Assist” not “QuickScope”…..

GIVEN THAT; however, I will also say this. IT DOES TAKE SKILL to be a “STUD” at it. I can easily get lucky and QS your butt occasionally, but there are some out there that do it so fluidly and consistently that it is obvious they have fine tuned it into a skill. Personally I do not see a reason to axe it, it is not that annoying to me as JD seems to think it is to most. So I don’t think it should go since there are so many that want it and seem VERY passionate about it. (Nobody listened to me bout elevators being gone :( ) LOL, guess there wasn’t enough of us “elevate’ers” even in private matches……oh well. But back to QS, the COD world seems to have been turned upside down right now, I would estimate that at least 1/3rd of peeps out there want this in the game………that’s a lot. But we shall see if the voices of the masses can make it happen….Good luck and here is just a sample of some of the tweets to Josh Olin of the “Lash Back”….whoooo its not pretty!

JD_2020 Sure, readjusting the sniper makes sense. But intentionally making it so people can’t quickscope. Pathetic. Is it cuz you can’t ?”

“WHISKEYTANGO_ Gavin O’ Hara
