Shitty scope mechanic

Here’s a video of some serious BS, note that I am holding my mouse still while scoping.

WTF Splash Damage?! Fix pls!

That’s actually intentional, to reduce the effectiveness of quickscoping.

Are you actually serious? Well it’s a shit mechanic that needs to go away. If they don’t want people to quick scope, there are other, better ways of dealing with it.

Considering the pace of the game, and the fact that headshot instagibs aren’t as common anymore, I think it’s a fair compromise to get rid of sway for good.

I just noticed this today and it was pissing me off a bit. I was wondering why I kept missing headshots that I should have gotten. Then I was just standing around scoping in and saw this…

It should definitely be removed. There’s no need for it. Headshots are required in this game. It’s not like CoD where it’s a 1-shot to the body. Plus, with the pace of the game, there’s definitely no need to remove “quick scoping.”

Yup, this is 100% intentional. You can still quickscope at short ranges but you can’t do it at long ranges. Also, if you fire before the scope animation even comes up the bullet will go to a random spot as well which helps prevent quick scoping (pre-scope animation) or no scoping consistently.

CS:S used to allow you to quick scope the AWP for a long time and it was rather hilarious. Some people would even draw a dot on their monitor to use as a crosshair for it.

I do think the random scope placement should be removed due to recent instagib changes but before then I’d say that I a perfectly fine with the current mechanics. But as soon as this happens then we get the forum flooded with people upset with Vassili’s “no scoping” all the time. So it’s a double edged sword and currently there is very little public outcry that the current mechanics change.

There’s no outcry because 95% of all Vassilis suck and don’t notice this shit. Besides, they can just keep the unscoped inaccuracies until the scoping animation is complete to prevent quick scoping. Or do they actually want snipers to be scoped in all the time? In a game of this pace? They want to remove all awareness from one of the most difficult mercs in the game? Because that is a shit way of playing sniper! I wouldn’t call how I’m playing sniper quick scoping, but I scope in and as soon as the scope comes up I do a flick shot, and this mechanic fucks me, which pisses me off.

Speaking of CS, they never implemented a mechanic to prevent quick scoping that fucks your aim, because that is just plain stupid. There’s no sway there either, and that game is snail pace compared to this, and you only need body shots.

Plus, Sparks has a hipfiring Sniper Rifle that shoots faster than the Felix for a 1-shot. It can also fire semi-auto essentially.
