When asked if quickscoping will be a part of Black Ops...
 
Josh Olin (Black Ops community manager):  "No. Quickscoping is a cheap way to play. We're specifically going to gimp quickscoping, sorry. Play straight-up!  Quickscoping is way more annoying to a way larger group of people than the quickscoping community who loves to do it.  When you first sight-in, your sights won't be perfectly center. You'll have to take a moment to adjust (like a real sniper).  No sniper rifles will be useful for quickscoping."
 
Some will not be happy about this, but I'm not one of them.  Yay!
 
Loads of quickscope fail:

Hahaha!

Well from the leaked MP videos i've seen on Youtube, it seems as if quickscoping is still a very viable way to play.

good.

Sadface

" good. "

Good. A sniper rifle should be used like a sniper rifle.

Now they need to massively increase weapon recoil and increase the spread of the reticules while you're moving - and lengthen the time it takes for them to settle once you slow down to take aim. (EDIT: I mean for all weapons, not just snipers)

Hmmm nice to see Treyarch listening to people. Although COD is a arcade type of shooter to me, the game shouldn't get too realistic.

I'm not for quick-scoping (it's annoying) but seriously, in a game with regenerating health and RC car explosives, they're going on about realism? :P

This is a bit of a bummer for me because I could enjoy a match or two of just quickscoping.  It's hard but rewarding so... I kinda feel like they're punishing an already difficult style of gameplay just because it annoys people. 

excellent

Hearing more and more cool stuff about Black Ops everyday. Go Treyarch!

Oh, so COD might require a little bit of skill now? neat

Kind of like how they're making running around with a knife less effective just because of whiners, huh.  The community even considered the care package trick in MW2 a glitch just because it made people faster, even though you're not even holding a gun when you're using it. "

Real men No-Scope.

quick scoping didn't require skill? how often did you do it? and did you get to the top of the leader boards in MW2 doing it? no thought so. Quick scoping while annoying still took quite a bit of practice and didn't work in every single scenario. "

" Real men No-Scope. "

that's why I love TF2
 
gonna be a sniper, better make your shots count or my Soldier's gonna rocket your ass

Not that I know what the hell this is, but anything to piss off snipers.

Quick scoping was exploiting a bug in the game. It's stupid easy to do, I know how to do it but when I played I never used it because I never needed too because I didn't suck dick.   CoD is an easy ass game, when I played I was better than most. "

I've put in a good many hours, do pretty well and don't know how to quickscope. It takes practice and a degree of skill to be good at it, as is the case with quickscoping in Counter-Strike, only no one is silly enough to call it a bug in that instance (granted it's harder to do, all the same the poor players are the ones complaining in servers). People moan about this and dual shotguns, when really for the most part it's just the players that aren't so good looking for somewhere to place blame for their dismal play, and lack skill. The fact is that the people who consistently come out on top are the ones who are more skilful at the game. As with most games, including Uno. "

So no one ever comes out on the top in any instance for gaming the system? "

Meh, not the biggest issue with CoD, in fact I liked the scoping of CoD4. Rather they should focus on grenade launchers and certain perks that break the game.

I wouldn't call it a bug so much as an overlooked part of the game. "

FUCK YES. I am glade they are taking that stupid shit out. It's stupid things like quickscoping that make COD a game that you cant play seriously or in a competitive manor. I will say I am still not going to get this game because I am sick of the whole COD formula, but even so I'd like this change if I were to get it.

WOOOOOOOO Black Ops keeps looking better and better.
