Titanfall Will Include Snipers, But No Quick-Scoping

[Akali]

 

There has been a lot of praise heaped on Respawn Entertainment from those who have had a chance to play the studio’s first title, Titanfall. In the comment sections and social media channels though, there is some skepticism that the title won’t just be Call of Duty with mechs. After all, many of the individuals at Respawn departed Call of Duty’s original studio, Infinity Ward, with Vince Zampella and Jason West.

 

A member of the Respawn team has offered up some thoughts about how sniping will work in 2014 title. “Sniping is in the game, but due to how the game plays it's a pretty different animal than you'll find in your run of the mill modern military shooter,” a Respawn staff member named “scriptacus” wrote in the company’s forums. “Quick scoping and no scoping are ineffective.”

 

“No scoping” is the act of shooting a scoped rifle from the hip in hopes that power will compensate for a slower rate of fire. “Quick scoping” is using a game’s assist when aiming down the sites to snap to an enemy for a quick kill. Both are terms that have been popularized by Call of Duty on consoles, where auto-aim and aim assist are used to compensate for the lower precision of controllers versus mouse-and-keyboard.

 

We’ve reached out to Respawn Entertainment for any additional information they might be willing to share now. Titanfall is due out on March 11, 2014, for Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC. You can read our hands-on preview from Gamescom and catch up with our coverage in the July 2013 issue.

 

Update: Shortly after posting this, we received word back from Respawn. "We'll have more information to share in the new year," a Respawn Representative told Game Informer.

 

my opinion: I find this very good news because i have played call of duty where people do alot of quick scoping and it ruins the game also i have alot of friends who think there a boss at call of duty because they quick scope so hearing this for a game that i am really looking forward to is great for me but for some it may not be good news.

I'm also glad to hear that they've looked at quick-scoping and realized it would sorta ruin the online quality. Good to know that this doesn't play like Call of Duty, too. I hate it when people compare game to Call of Duty, it's Garbage (Personal Opinion of course, no point going into it). Can't say I'm looking forward to the game though, unless my friend had it then I'd be up for it. I mean, it looks good and I don't doubt it will be a great game but it just doesn't look like the type of game I'd play for too long. I'm not big on Microsoft anymore either, that's why I can't see myself getting an Xbox One 'till possibly next year but who knows. I'm excited for Destiny on the PS4, especially since you get exclusive content too.

I'm excited to see the different types of montages this will cause for TitanFall. No doubt the majority of BF, COD, and Halo videos on YouTube have quickscoping/no scoping in them, so it will be interesting to see the results this descison will produce.

I'm glad they took it out quick scoping is kinda over rated in my opinion.

Its funny because TitanRawr was the first to make a video about this and a lot of people on the forum are part of that channel.
