User blog comment:Gundam Legilis/Why we might need quickscoping in AW/@comment-24087008-20141111041231

Quickscoping isn't a tactic for snipers. A sniper is supposed to stay in the relatively same location. What you're describing is a person using a sniper rifle as a shotgun.

And to be fair, the sniper rifles aren't that underpowered; they're only that way to you because it appears you are the type of player who runs and guns, and wishes to do so with sniper rifles.

If snipers are meant to learn that every shot count, then why should they have to quickscope, especially when the role of a sniper is to provide long range overwatch?

I stand that it's better that quickscoping has been removed, or at least made much more difficult, in Advanced Warfare. I should hope that if quickscoping is brought back in a Call of Duty game, it is confined to a single playlist.
