Im not saying it sucks, that there is no quickscoping, since I can just take that assault rifle and play with that.
But quickscoping in previous CODs was like just messing around for me, when everything else failed.
It was fun to run and gun and try cool 360's and shit when I got bored of drilling people with other weapon.
-- But now, all I have to do is have that sniping-class just wait there until a map comes, where I can actually snipe ...
I also have only 1 claymore, no way to replenish it back and usually 2+ places where people will run in to kill me ,,, combining this with slightly broken spawnsystem ... this is what happends eventhough the map is preferably good for sniping --->
1. Game starts
2. I run to random house which is on 'our side' and snipe 2 guys.
3. My other team members have now rushed to enemies side and they start spawning in your spawn.
4. First guy usually dies to my claymore
5. I go seek for a corner to camp for next guy ... with my shitty pistol.
6. Guy runs in with ak74 and facerapes me.
7. End of story aka. class-change.
I also had this tactic, even in WaW, where I don't scope at all until I see enemy running somewhere - this made me able to even cover my back or so slighty more ... it is impossible now, since I have to wait that super sweet 2 seconds to scope in, 3 seconds for scope to stop shaking and 2 more seconds for the game to believe I have scoped in ... then It takes 2 seconds to aim.
Total of 9 seconds is just wasted to some anti-qs bullcrap.
"In real life, it takes snipers to aim a lot longer"
- Well in real life, I'll be so far away from my targets that I don't even need claymore.
In real life, People don't respawn to my back.
In real life, people can't run trought a whole city just to knife me.
Also, in real life I can probably shoot my sniper towards enemy 1 meter away from me and actually hit him without scoping ...
So, wtf.
