    Not on some of the maps. It's still nowhere near the buttery smoothness I experienced on mw2 and Blops on xbox for that matter.. Maybe it's just my ps3 !

    I only notice any performance issues when hosting these days (Or the first napalm on summit) Its still not as smooth as the xbox version obviously, but its completely playable.

    Yup, I swear hosting finished off my YLOD ps3. @kells, yours is next by the sounds of it.. Yeah, Blops is completely playable for me. . It's great for me when one of the UPC boys host. Juicy 3 bar, which is great for me.

    Couldnt agree more, cant see as to why every kid practically jizzed themselves over ghost? What exactly did he do in mw2 that was so cool? At least gaz was a decent enough charecter in the sense that he played the roll of though second in command to price. Ghost just fannied about in a ridiculous skull mask? Wtf is that? Looks like a reject from army of two.

    Nail on the head.

    Not sure if this has been flogged yet by you lads, but what think ye on quickscoping being welcomed by Robert Bowling? I for one am disgusted. MW2 FFA is destroyed because of it.

    May I take this juncture to say that I think all quickscopers deserve a a drawn out, fiery death.

    So what think you?

    Nah, it's easier to have a special class on hold to use against such people when you encounter them.

    Akimbo rangers for example.

    I despise IW for how they seemingly catered for the prepubescent quickscopers/noscopers in MW2. As said before, the Sleight of Hand, Stopper Power and Steady Aim set was so tailored for them! SnD was damn near impossible to play what with people playing for the game winning killcam.

    I think your wrong. The only thing you can bring to the table in such a debate as "For or against quickscoping" is the realism card. If you are actually getting beat by quickscopers in FFA it has nothing to do with game balance... thats for sure.

    Also, Im pretty sure it'll be like CoD4 sniping over MW2 sniping (No SoH)... which no1 had a problem with from what i've gathered ? Sort of like a middleground between blops and MW2... i can't wait :P

    I got accused of "stealing" a guys gamewinning kill once as he wanted a 720 no scope, he was standing being the frigging guy trying to kill him as he was laying prone and couldnt hit him so I blasted him in the back of the head with a SPAS shot, moron

    Actually your wrong there, in team based games such as TDM or MTDM quick scopers ruin any competitiveness completely. For example the majority of quick scopers I find end up with abut double the amount of kills on them as opposed to the amount they gave out. If they are on your team they are not only not pulling their weight they are bleeding points off to the opposition. Transversely if they are on the opposing team they become idiotic looking clay pigeons and a serious hindrance to the opposition leaving games very one sided.

    They ruin any semblance of balance (are not the only things in MW2 that can do that mind) but they reason they are so despised is because deep down we know MLC or danger close tubers are using their particular exploits because they know they suck at actual run and gun gameplay. HOWEVER quick scopers seem to think they are the worlds greatest players and cap it all off with the often quite ironic" l33t speak gamertags as if to say I am so good I dont even need to try shoot like a normal person..... the scores post match often tell a completely different story though.

    In regards to the balance they ruin, I have left matches where they have been on both sides of the fence simply because they ruin the balance. No one wants a night of walk over matches and vice versa simply because some 16 year old thinks he's "l33t" :rolleyes: and can get "subs" for his "tage" on youtube. :eek::rolleyes:

    I personally wouldnt care if they did this stuff in private matches but they insist on doing this in public games ruining peoples good times and to me in that respect they are as good as boosters and should be treated as such.

    "LUCKY WHAT ARE YOU DOING MATE, YOU SUCK!"


    :pac: Right.... I suck, says the person who can't use a sniper properly

    But its even funnier when you double Y a Thumper :D

    Dude I have said it on here before but the creme de la creme of quick scoper lolz is owning someone with a gamer tag like "xX S1p3R qK sK0p3zXx" time after time and to find him getting into such a hissy fit he changes class to an AR for the rest of the match.... and still sucks.... :D

    Your talking about idiots that do nothing but quickscope.. most of which are 14-16 year old kids... thats what they 14 year olds do.. anoy the **** out of you.

    I compare quick scoping to hipfiring... its exactly the same.. quickscoping is a tool that is essiential for any good sniper, as hipfiring is essiential to anyone using a AR/SMG... doing it for an entire match in every situation.. well.. its not gonna end well for either.

    I'll be the first to laugh at the idiots that think "Hardscoping" is noobish.. but I also laugh at the idiots that think anyone who quickscopes is obviously some sort of nobjockey that cares nothing about winning games.

    Anyway im flogging a dead horse discussing this with you.... for the 10th time. You paint a very one sided picture when you talk about quickscoping...



    At the end of the day, theres nothing you say that will change the fact that quickscoping will always be a part of CoD (As it is in almost any game). Ya'll just have to live with that.

    I can completely see where your coming from in terms of it being a viable tactic if your a sniper class and caught off guard. Same with knifing someone tbh but where the abuse comes in is where a person consider it an actual play style and uses it for the entire match. I think the term quickscoping or quickscoper in common usage though infers this problematic type of person. While the term itself describes an action which if used sparingly isnt an issue the level of abuse quick scoping has gotten from the kids means the term now implies the use of the tactic as a style rather than an emergency measure. :)

    That in itself shows the level of the problem.

    It erks me that these people cant do this messing in private matches though. If they MUST do it at all for "tages" or whatever the kids call it these days - at least keep it off the public playing field. These videos to serve no purpose other than to give the impression that they are good players.

    Alas, your right in saying it wont ever be removed. The nature of the beast is that quick scoping IS primarily done by children IMO and these are the very kids who think COD is the end all and be all, the "hardcore" advocates of the series and if Activision shunned them by removing quick scoping they would loose those advocates.

    +1 Nothing worse than playing dom with a quick-scoper who does nothing but 360's to try and get kills , usually ends up with triple the amount of deaths giving the opposition plenty of killstreaks.

    Yeah i get anoyed by peoples reaction to it on here because it seems a lot of people can't tell the difference between someone who uses it as a tool and the idiots that'll whine if you hardscope etc.

    As for people doing it for tages... its really not, i mean theres like what.. 10-15 million people that play CoD, probably less than 20,000 people actually make montages and **** imo. Thats like 1 in every 750 people.. likelihood of running into someone who records for montages is very small imo

    Its more a case of kids watching montages and then trying to copy it for the lol's..

    funny when the other team are like lemmings jumping off stuff like the cliff by C on Afghan and you're just picking them off as they come spinning over it though :pac: usually if I have a sniper class on I'll swap my secondary pistols/shottie for an AR dropped by a team mate, nothing funnier than running into someone if you're using a sniper rifle, going prone behind something popping back up now wielding an RPD :pac: "surprise cockbags!"

    If anyone is losing FFAs vs snipers they must be **** . Or against a good sniper . I honestly relish the sight of a sniper in mw2 because of likely hood they are crap.
    It has ruined SnD though.

    nothing makes me chuckle more than seeing a sniper way across a flat surface and legging it towards him weaving so he cant hit you then jump shotting him in the face with a SPAS

    Or if hes not a noob (Which im assume he must be if he missed you so many times) he'll whip out his own spas and blast your face off when you get in range :P
