Am I the only one who thinks that quick scoping is ridiculous?

I mean going close range with a long range weapon that is meant for distances of over 500 meters (over 1500 feet) is unrealistic and suicidal. It doesn't even prove anything Hey look at me I got a 2.4 K while quick scoping No one cares >

Quick Scoping takes a little skill and so you're probably jealous of people who can quickscope and you can't.

Tuh, it takes skill? How bout you try shooting something real, like a longbow, or a proper rifle, and then how bout you try and shoot someone quick as a flash with those weapons at long range.

There's a huge difference between in game skill and real life skill...

In-game skill is an illusion. A fantasy. An escape for the couch-potato. Just saying.

No. It's as real as anything else. It takes skill to play games, just like it takes skill for other things. Nobody was comparing quickscoping to real life anyway.

Not everyone with in game skill sits and plays all day. It's not an escape from anything, we do what we enjoy.

It doesn't really require skill to do. It's rather quite simple once you've played the game for a long amount of time. It's just the knowledge of your weapon and how the game operates. Anyone who plays the game day after day can easily pull it off, but, it's pointless in my opinion. No one does that in real life, so why do it in a game that tries to be realistic?

CoD doesn't try to be realistic, and if you apply realism to a game and expect people to play as if it were real life, it would be boring.

Basically, if you don't like people exploiting a game because they don't take it as seriously as you, go and play Arma 2.

I have to agree, quickscoping is quite ridiculious. But, people will play how they will play.

I wouldnt say quickscoping is ridiculous but it is frustrating sometimes when you get 4 hit markers with a PP90M1 and then you die because of one lucky shot but I enjoy quickscoping myself so I cant argue.

think quickscoping is ok to have in a game but it needs to take skill to do and the way they can do this is to make it not really fast like in mw2/3 and have it the same speed as in cod4 but have it doesn't always zoom in the center like in BO and then it would take skill and not everyone would be able to do it well.
