Snipers

[owner_101]

For everyone who has seen the trailer will know that Snipers can have iron sights, but this would make it easier for those Quickscoping Scum (lol) to kill people, so how do you think they will balance it out?

Also the Sniper seen in the campaign that can shoot through walls by firing multiple bullets is made by Metal Storm (they made the 1,000,000 rounds a minute "gun") and it works by stacking bullets and firing them electronically.

So what do you think about the snipers?

I hope they don't do anything stupid again like with the snipers in Black Ops so that we "scum" can actually have fun doing what we like.

Yeah black ops was very difficult to snipe on mainly because of map design. (Bullet lag didnt help either :| )

On the other hand I also hope sniping is not as easy as in MW3...You don't even have to hit them for god sakes!

Cod 4 had a nice balance of sway and responsiveness. They should replicate that.

I believe the reason why the player was able to shoot through walls like that was because he/she had the equivalent to FMJ attached. You know how FMJ showcased a bullet?

See the secondary weapon? See the 2nd attachment? Looks like a bullet if you ask me.

MW3 wasn't actually THAT easy, MW2 was easier than it

Snipers will be fine as long as they don't do a Black Ops on them. Just make them usable and i'll be happy. I'm not a massive sniper, but I want to be able to have the option there to do it, and to enjoy doing it. Not just rage when you're bang on the guy and miss.

Also, Quick-Scoping isn't an issue. I think the un-scoped rifles will be fine because of the fact they're un-scoped. People won't be able to complain that it's strictly a long-range weapon, so the haters will have no ground to base their frustrations. Plus, they were fine in World At War. Nobody complained. I'm friggin' stoked to see bolt action rifles return! They're by far my favourite part of World At War.

Vonderhaar definitely knows what he's doing with the snipers this time around.

I have this weird feeling that aim assist may be disabled on snipers though.

Yeah MW2 was pretty easy too. I didn't play that one too much, pretty much stopped as soon as OMA/DC combo was being spammed every match. Can't believe that was never patched :roll: .

But MW3 is just as easy I would say, I'm not even a good sniper and I have 3 MOABs with the barrett already, without even using specialist package . Way too easy.

I've been dreaming for this. Most of what quick-scoping consists of is abusing the aim assist to lock on to a person and fire away. I can see PC players not having a problem adjusting but on consoles it will be much more difficult to quick-scope.

And as far as I'm concerned, the term hard scoper shouldn't exist. Its how you properly use a sniper. It shouldn't be a derogatory term. Not to say I don't enjoy quick-scoping, its just the fact that some people think its so hard when its just knowing how to abuse the system. Take away my aim assist and I'll be happy as I'd be for a free zombies map.

[Kill_All_Monkeys]

I actually have been able to beat quick-scopers by hardscoping before, it doesn't always give you the advantage. And it does irritate me when people denote others simply because they snipe differently? But I do enjoy quick-scoping at times, it's a different playstyle than playing with AR's and SMG's

Aw,don't take any offense Triix,we've all gotten angry at one point or another when we're running around and BOOM,we get sniped.

I think most people will agree that CoD 4 was one of the best CoDs ever (multiplayer wise)

I would like more variety with the assault riffles,they're almost always the same.

I read in an interview that that was confirmed. I'll try and find it.

I can't wait to get my hands on that bolt action sniper rifle with iron sights. I've been dying for one since the Kar98k. Vahn listens to a ton a feedback from pub stompers to MLG guys. Losing the auto aim for scoping in will really help out the whole situation.
