    Im not entirely sure, think its something to do with the whole new dive thing they added or something.

    While sprinting if you press couch you dive and you cant shoot while diving and you have to recover when you hit the ground (Take you gun out).
    .

    Now queue the tonnes of commando / drop shotter dopes learning how to dolphin hop across the screen..... sprint... dive shoot...sprint... dive shoot......urgh.

    Being a mod and all I should be fairly mature, but **** it. It's a rant thread afterall.

    **** IW, seriously **** them. Stupid cheap ****. They pissed on COD2 and shat on COD4. I'm sick of going on about my broadband at home.
    Tbf I never have near half the problems with EA servers, Resistance, Killzone, Gran Turismo Prologue, Motorstorm, GTA IV, Battlefield, etc, etc, etc. No constant problems connecting to servers, lag and all that. Maybe the odd time but it's quite rare. COD4 was bearable for the most part too except for Ground War. This all despite my worthless crappy Eircom connection.

    But with this damn game it's near impossible for me to play anything. It's progressively gotten worse over time too.

    Playing with leeg and headshot. Go 8 and 0 within a minute on Skidrow. BHAM! Lag. Completely unplayable and just quit not long after. Joke.

    Sick of people saying ''Fookin hate campers'' I snipe, and I have to camp. Quicksoping is worse, takes no skill, and is an instant finish. Intervention locks on to enemies automatically for christ sake. I dont use the Intervention for precisely this point. I still have to stay hidden so I can continue to snipe . . . . . . . you know, the way ACTUAL snipers do.

    I "fookin hate campers", you know the people that have scavenger with an endless supply of claymores, 1 at each entrance. They're usually the same people that have an AA-12, Akimbo rangers or 1887's pointed at the door. Those campers.

    Quickscoping takes no skill

    Wut :confused:

    Are you for real? Quickscoping is talent, regardless of how annoying it is to be killed by a quickscope you have to give credit where it's due.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,372 ✭✭✭War Machine 539


    You must quickscope. Its not a talent. The game does it all for you. All you have to do is hit the trigger and fire buttons fast. I can do it with my eyes closed. Skill my arse. If it was difficult to do I would call it a talent. 8 Year olds can AND do quickscope. So that doesnt wash pal.

    No, I don't quickscope. I can (not extremely well) There is talent in there, whether you wish to admit it or not. Just because a prepubescent teen can do it does not mean it doesn't require practice and skill.

    If it was a case of "hit the trigger and fire" everyone would be doing it and please don't come back saying "everyone is doing it" - Because they're not.

    i posted this in the vid section a while back , there is skill in what this lad does.Quick-scoping is skillfull when its done right.

    Quickscoping is for noobs.. No skill involved!!

    I'd be happier to noob tube with danger close than do that ****e!!



    Even thou I prefer MW2 coz it is better fun.. BF2 is so much better in terms of classes.. Snipers actually snipe.. Not run around like retards!

    plus one brother problem with the tubers is they usually hang back out of harms way least the quick scopers go running and gunning

    Quick scoping does take some skill IMO. If someone can go up agaist an AR with an intervention for whatever reason and get the kill fair dues to them. If they miss the first shot it's pretty much over. Very hard to quickscope with someone pumping rounds from a SCAR into you! :p

    If quickscoping was that easy and unskillfull then everyone would be at it. Who wouldn't want one shot kills!?

    Speaking for myself I'm fairly impressed when people can do them consistently.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,372 ✭✭✭War Machine 539


    You have to time pressing two buttons consistently. The game does the rest. I maintain, no skill. Wont be an Issue in Black Ops, Sleight of Hand doesnt affect the time it takes to aim Sniper Rifles. Love these games, but quick scopers, modders and the fooking noob tube make them so much worse. Its pathetic to play against these people.

    Ah now. If you had only two fingers would you be able to quick scope? :D

    I know there are a few people I play with and they maintain that it DOES take skill.

    Anywho, it's in most games, It's also a part of the daddy FPS: Counter Strike Source.


  • Site Banned Posts: 26,456 ✭✭✭✭Nuri Sahin


    My 2c, and I'm just echoing comments above more or less.

    I really don't get the hate for quick scoping especially considering the amount of crap the more decent part of the community have had to put in the past 3 years even. Martydom, Juggernaut, noob tubes, danger close, commando, general M/L/C combo, painkiller, OMA and other things I'm sure I've forgotten.

    Quick scoping has nothing on the things I have mentioned. IMHO, if you're going to hate on anything I full advocate hating on the other ****e I just mentioned compared to quick scoping.

    On the otherhand there are players out there who damn annoying and who are just OpTic try-hards(my past PSN was a pisstake ok before anyone mentions :pac:).. They refuse to hard-scope no matter the circumstance even if it's logical to do so eg: last man standing in SnD or sudden death.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,372 ✭✭✭War Machine 539


    I will agree there are many exploits, reason this gets to me soo much is, I always snipe, and I always Hard Scope, to me the idea of using a Sniper Rifle close up is alien. It really annoys me. Obviously people have their own styles, but I refuse to believe that there is skill involved. It takes practice, but its not a skill. Its an exploit. An exploit that is abused. Its a ranged weapon. Let it do its job.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,222 ✭✭✭✭Will I Amnt


    Its an exploit. An exploit that is abused. Its a ranged weapon. Let it do its job.

    I would have to agree with this,if you have the capability to take someone out from half a mile away you should lose the capability up close,it's no different than if someone found a way of getting headshots with a spas from one end of a map to the other,having said that I'm not that bothered with quickscoping itself,it's more the fact that they're not even hitting you most of the time and still getting one shot kills

    Sounds to me that you just cant do it tbh...

    Not a skill ? Dont make me ****ing laugh !!! Oh wait... you already did with your previous posts.

    I suppose having good aim is not a skill either, thanks to consoles aim assist, and if thats the case then mw2 requires no skill at all then ??

    I dont get why they are getting so uptight about quickscoping and yet still... noobtubes remain. Just look on youtube and see how many videos there are of people whining about noobtubes and launchers, then compare it to quickscoping.

    Either way, i dont really care, im not much of a quickscoper (I've practiced quite a bit tho... i guess that means it requires skill???) and get most of my kill when sniping due to good positioning and general gamesense... most of the time i just **** about with the sniper tho :D

    If you dont like quickscoping because of realism... give someone a sniper rifle IRL... then come round a corner and see if he can hit you while carrying the gun... thats right... you'll get blown in half.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,686 ✭✭✭Kersmash


    I think Grizz said it best in his commentary tbh. I don't get what the beef is against quickscoping. JD_2020 said that it annoys the community, but **** that, I think it's a small amount of people that get pissed off at it, especially compared to how much people hate noobtubes. Yet they're still in the game. Deal with the bigger issue first. Also, balls to him, I've seen videos online of people quickscoping like they did in CoD4.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,178 ✭✭✭hypermuse


    Its a fair point that noob tubes are far more annoying.. Particularly when someone just fires one off at the start of the match and it lands at your feet!!

    But the quickscoping is bull****.. Just because noob tubes are worse doesn't mean quickscoping is better.. Needs to be removed from the game fullstop..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,127 ✭✭✭✭Leeg17


    My thinking that for alot of my deaths is that I don't mind dying (to a certain extent), if I could have done something to stop it. Noobtubing takes no skillwhatsoever, quickscoping takes some skill (+ luck sometime, everyone will admit that). Rather die to a qs'er than a noobtuber.
