Yeah, its the same as in cs (Suprise

) right click once = medium, click again = x2 ? I think. Its handy as ****, not sure how they'll do it in cod tho.

Anyone remember the Jungle level in Goldeneye and Rainbow Six?

God I hated those type of maps.

Out of the 5 maps or so maps I've seen so far, I like the look of two - the torn apart urban map and the rocket map.

Well in MW2 you have to hold down the button to scope, or tap to quick scope.

If you automatically zoom in a certain amount with one press of the button, and have to press another button to release, i suspect (fingers crossed) that nonsense will be done away with!:)

Not sure tbh, quickscoping orginated in cs btw so just because theres a double zoom wont mean you cant qscope, it gets a bad rap in mw2 because of people ****ing about with 360's and ****, the intervention and barret are anything but overpowered, if you couldn't quickscope sniping would be ****ing useless, between hit markers and getting rushed(If you cant quickscope your pretty much ****ed 100% of the time in CQC) you wouldn't stand a chance vs AR's + SMG's. Also, with cod using the aim-down-sight mechanic i cant see them changing that in blop's with snipers(You cant double click) so not sure what way they've done the double zoom thing.

I really cant see "QuickScoping" being stopped... unless you cant shoot for 1 second after you've zoomed in then you'll always be able to quickscope.

everlast75 · 12-10-2010 05:10PM

Dunno about that.
You should be f*cked if you have a sniper rifle out and someone rushes you. Its a long range weapon after all. Its why you have a secondary.
Flip it around - if you have a shotgun and someone on the other side of the map is shooting at you, you're f*cked.
You should be f*cked if you have the wrong weapon out at the wrong time.
Each weapon has its strengths and weakness. My point is you have blokes legging it around with a sniper rifle (another nonsense) and being able to take blokes down from miles away or a bloke being the equivalent of 6 feet away.
Re: the rifles not being strong enough, I think its safe to say 95% of the people use stopping power, so most of the time one shot = death.

Kersmash · 12-10-2010 05:11PM

I don't really see why everyone hates quick scopers tbh. I understand all the IIIXXZZIafIASFAf bull**** and I hate being killed by em, but it's not like its a really broken game mechanic, like OMA/NoobTube/DC and commando etc.

I'd love if sniping was just like in cod 4. I'm so much better at sniping in that game and it's alot more enjoyable.

I don't mind quickscoping, heck if I'm over at a mates we'll mess around in a priv/pub match quickscoping. As you mentioned alot of the disdain for quickscoping is when people ruin games like SnD and the likes looking for a nice game winning kill.

Kersmash · 12-10-2010 05:59PM

Yeah, hate those ****.

most of the time you are ****ed, unless your absolutely insane at qs'ing. shotgun is a secondary weapon, how about we compare it to the acr.. i would argue its far better for close and medium ranges and only slightly less effect than the intervention at long ranges... you can kill multiple enemies quickly and you more mobile... its the same with every AR and with some SMGs. Not to mention the fact that you can hide easily if a sniper misses or gets a hit marker with his first hit... there are only 2 r 3 open maps in the game aswel.

you'd be suprised at how many hit markers i get when sniping( I dont aim for the feet). Also how often do you see some1 get 40+ kills with an intervention, compare it to some1 using an AR or SMG.

The reason people hate getting QScoped is because they were probably thinking it was a free kill.... oh btw, i only snipe occasionally, just incase ur wondering, im average at best with it.

I was being extremely modest ofc, im like grizzler(or whatever hes called) with the quickscopers.

shawpower · 12-10-2010 09:43PM

I don't mind guys who quickscope in regular games. What does annoy me are the tools you see in Search doing spins, quick scopes, arsing about before defusing etc etc.

12-10-2010 11:24PM

I don't dislike quickscopers, but i dislike quickscoping.

I know there are many other unrealistic parts to the game, but I think being able to quickscope a headshot while standing up straight with a .50 rifle is so unrealistic it's stupid.

The reason I mentioned the shotgun was it too is a "one shot = one kill" weapon and to highlight the difference that should be evident to each weapon, i.e. use for different distances.

I am surprised at the amount of hitmarkers you get tbh, becoz I've seen your gameplay and you're pretty damn good... ok, excellent :cool: All I can go on is my experience with the sniper rifle (>90% kills with one shot - and not because I am any better, just what has happened in my games) and that of any full game videos of other players, which appear to me to also have a similar success rate.

I don't want to compare the merits and demerits of primary weapons to each other, because they are all plain to see (with the exception of the UMP - completely overpowered

) - the only point I made was that
1) running around with a sniper rifle which is a huge weapon (snigger) and 2) being able to bring the weapon up while running, quickscoping a bloke at 6 feet is, in my view, ridiculous and hopefully one aspect of the game that won't make the transition from MW2 to BL Ops.

Kersmash · 13-10-2010 11:51AM

I just watch hutchs gameplay of the gun game for the first time. The time it takes to bring up the scope seems very like how it was in COD4 which has me excited

zero19 · 13-10-2010 02:51PM

Damn videos been blocked

Edit found it, looks very cinematic!

I can see whatever SMG that is been the new MP40.

2smiggy · 13-10-2010 05:33PM

hope fully there is no real over powered gun. but the mp40 was way too powerful. but there always is one, the m4 carbine/m16 in od4 , the mp40 waw, the ump in mw2.

people will play with the best gun. just hopefully not as over powered as mp40

krudler · 13-10-2010 06:43PM

That Kowloon level looks savage, love the plane flying overhead some really nice light effects too, I didnt think it was going to look as good as MW2 (which is still a stunning looking game in places)from the early footage but it does, roll on November 9th

Kersmash · 13-10-2010 07:00PM

I dun wanna watch any of those single player videos. Dun wanna ruin it!
