Quick-Scoping might return in Modern Warfare 3

@51 Apparently hybrid sights are used in ARMA : Combined Operations, in the Arrowhead Operation. Plus theirs a video on Game Trailers all about them…. But my ps3 won’t play it -_-

Says the military use them in this video:

*shrugs*

@51 Hybrid sights are not uncommon, but we’re talking about dual scope-mounts. The ACOG has a red line running over the back so it can be used as an emergency aim assist.

Trijicon makes ACOG sights with tiny Red Dot sights mounted on top, but that’s not what we’re looking at in the video.

I’ve seen rifles with two scopes used in various games and by gun enthusiasts, but generally soldier logic dictates that if something poses an unneccesary complication, you don’t want to take it into combat. A lot of the time, less is more. One scope to maintain, one scope to provide batteries for, one scope to zero all adds up to a vastly smaller risk of failure.

I haven’t really looked closely at the stock weapons in Arrowhead, but generally the ArmA series isn’t very well researched in terms of weapons systems.

@52 Definitely looks like I might be behind on my game there. I haven’t seen them on any pictures, but “in use by the military” could mean a lot of things in terms of how widely used they are.

Also, if that “host” guy’s name isn’t Soulpatch McDouche – He needs to change his name.

Well in my *intensive research* I skimmed through a BF3 where some guy commented that hybrid scopes would be in MW3, what about BF3?

Amongst all the outrage that someone dare mention MW in a BF thread, their was a decent question about balance. No need to choose between red dot or ACOG, just have them both! Which sounds good to me

It definitely opens up the gameplay a lot more. Modern Warfare always had relatively small maps, and I can’t recall ever using an ACOG on anything with shorter range than a sniper rifle.

It would definitely make it a lot more useful.

@55 Fair point I hardly ever used ACOG unless to unlock… shit was it the holographic scope? (beer = bad memory)

Just thinking, bet they make… erm *duelscope?* accessible only if you have Bling/Bling Pro.

Meh… quick-scoping is a cheap way to get kills. But lets face it, it’s just one of many ways to get cheap kills in a COD game. COD wouldn’t be COD if it didn’t cater to noobdom.

Makes little difference to me. I don’t even need to use the scope to outsnipe a quick-scoper.

if you have interest in it , take action !!!!!

They want to bring it back, then do separate playlists for those who don’t want it.

Call of Duty 4 has become shit because 95% of the players in games quick-scope and it becomes completely boring.

has no-one noticed that you can quick-scope in black ops since 1.08 patch, i never get any complaints on that also i am happy to hear that IW are not making Treyarch’s mistake, i would prefer COD4 sniping but MW2 style is better than none

Quick scoping has definitely returned in Modern Warfare 3, I got some awesome tips on how to quick scope in MW3 here! The modded controller makes all the difference!
