There's no reasonable dialogue to be had between Treyarch and the sniping community when a Treyarch rep posts online about how quickscoping was a "cheap way to play", that they're "specifically going to gimp" it, and that everyone should "Play straight-up". His comment did not leave any room for any quickscoper or the community to share what they have to say about it. He shared facts and people got upset about it. He never, ever wanted to have a dialogue.divisionbyzorro said:
He also mis-presented what quickscoping really is and why people quickscope. He ignored the fact that even the hardcore quickscope community didn't like the way "Modern Warfare 2" handeled quickscoping. Treyarch (or their Reps) made it look like it's a simple method to get easy, fast kills used by people who don't know how to be able to win otherwise. That's not what why people are quickscoping/no-scoping. It's because of the extra challenge, because you're doing something that not everyone can do. Even in "Modern Warfare 2" there were a lof of really bad quickscopers, even with sleight of hand pro and steady aim.
Treyarch never intended to fix the problems that "Modern Warfare 2" had to limit the number of people who would chose the sniper rifle as their main weapon, they completely ruined all the sniper guns completely with their solution. This leads to a situation where you'd consider their sniper classes to be broken alltogether.
If you're mad about the way some people in the quickscoping community are acting, fine, but you also have to see that the comments made by Treyarch did not leave any room for any opinions from those people. "That's the way it's going to be... Period!" is the worst thing you could say if you want to start a discussion about something.
