Quickscoping has at all times been a heated subject within the Call of Duty neighborhood, however Treyarch thinks it has landed on an answer for Black Ops 4.
“This is something that goes back a long time. Some games were considered quickscope games, and other games were considered, you know, you couldn’t quickscope,” Treyarch professional recreation designer Tony Flame explains. “But there’s a huge community of snipers out there who would get frustrated – we have millions of players out there who love sniping.”
For Black Ops 4, Treyarch is trying to cater to those that wish to lead a goal and snipe correctly, in addition to those that wish to use a sniper rifle like a long-range shotgun.
“We have a full suite [of sniper rifles] for different playstyles – but we do have a single gun that’s actually meant for quickscopers and the whole gun is balanced around that,” Flame says. “It’s a very high-skilled gun – if you’re very good, you’re gonna be able to have benefits like fast ADS time and smaller hit spread, so you’re going to get to use those traditional quickscope mechanics, but the gun is going to be balanced so you have to be super accurate.”
In different phrases, you possibly can quickscope in Black Ops Four in the event you select this particular gun, however it’s a must to be excellent at it. The thought behind that is we received’t see matches full of individuals quickscoping, it’ll simply be the odd superhuman.
“So we are supporting that playstyle, but we’re designing specifically for it in Black Ops 4,” Flame continues. “We think the sniping community is going to be happy, and the rest of the players – there’s only going to be so many snipers doing that so you have a good mix of gameplay styles going on.”
Obviously, the vary of various maps will make some extra viable than others for sniping playstyles. No doubt those who love sniping at range will feel more at home within Blackout, the brand new battle royale mode that contains a full ballistics mannequin.
That’s to not say the usual multiplayer received’t cater to longer-range engagements, nevertheless.
“The multiplayer is definitely fast and frenetic and we’ve kind of put those [smaller] maps out early to get people into the game, jump in quick, you get the excitement levels going, you spawn and get in the action,” Flame says. “We have bigger maps as effectively.
“In phrases of content material, we’ve even bought new attachments and new issues you need to use for that sniping playstyle. For instance, there’s the ADS loader the place, whilst you’re loading, you possibly can keep scoped in in your goal so that you don’t have to interrupt line of sight. We’ve bought gameplay content material for that, we’ve bought maps – there are two new maps within the beta gamers haven’t seen earlier than they usually do embrace some longer sightlines. Sniping has its place.”
