Keep 'em coming.
Quickscoping has nothing to do with sniping. Shooting from the hip is fine, but quickscoping is utterly unrealistic in a modern shooter, and possibly causes balancing issues in a shooter set in the future like DUST if it's allowed. In CQ snipers should shoot from the hip or switch to a sidearm.
My suggestion: make the scoping action take .5s to 1s longer, and disable trigger during this time. |

Not sure what you mean. My point is that quick scoping is not realistic in a modern shooter. I don't know what snap shooting is or how it differs from quick scoping. If you mean shooting from the hip or raising it to your shoulder but not looking through the scope, then it's a duh. Former is in the game, latter is not. |

If you mean shooting from the hip or raising it to your shoulder but not looking through the scope, then it's a duh. Former is in the game, latter is not. Your argument is that quick scoping, which is some gamer term for looking through a scope and shooting immediately is not realistic. As a combat engineer in the army I'm telling you that i can snap shoot, aka holding a rifle at chest level and bringing it up and shoot an accurate shot through the scope in the same time or less than it takes my toon in game to do the same. Maybe you should elaborate more on what you mean by realistic and modern day shooter?
You're saying you can do that with a 12x or higher sniper scope, not some ACOG contraption with a meter of eye relief? Then you're a better shot than I am. |
