Honestly I think the best sniping was back in COD4. There you could actually quick scope while also not being not as easy. Black Ops sniping was alright except the scope (at least for the L96) zoomed kind of awkwardly in my opinion.
I'm actually the best at sniping in Black Ops, even though everyone says MW3 sniping is so easy I suck at it.
Activision requires a noob perk. I'd rather have Martyrdom than Second Chance. Way to get Ghost campers out of corners, and a reason to use Flak Jacket.
Every good Black Ops quickscoper I knew played with Aim Assist off, it really messed you up in that game. So this changes nothing imo. I wonder if they'll continue allowing aim assist to seek targets through walls, that was pretty nifty. Heat vision seems kinda cool and kinda stupid. If it's a scope (like thermal) then I definitely don't support sacrificing an attachment. It should be goggles. Bringing back Dropzone is dumb, maybe it's just because I dislike the gamemode, but if they keep Hardline Pro from Black Ops Dropzone will be ridiculous. And the pro perk system, I like it. Just to clarify, when you prestige they made it sound like you keep the previous pro perks. So then you can have a "complete" perk with the Pro 1 and Pro 2 abilities. Adds a ton of incentive to prestige, but makes prestiging a longer process (since for someone like me it seems more beneficial to get all Pro 1 perks before prestiging as opposed to just having some). Also, keep in mind that the leaked info very specifically says "No Last Stand" which really doesn't mean anything considering no Treyarch game has ever had Last Stand (Just like MW3 doesn't have Last Stand).
You can turn aim assist off? I didn't know that. What I think they should do about pro perks is have it so that there are two different "pro" effects, and two different challenges you must complete to get them, but in stead of choosing one and never being able to get the other, you should be able to choose which one you want on a specific class. That way you could see which one you like better and not be screwed that you chose one and not the other.
Yeah, whenever I sniped I turned it off too. Makes everything soooooo much easier. I like that idea, but it really depends on exactly what the Pro abilities are. Some of them (hopefully) will be lacking with just 1 and not the other. Only getting 4 extra perks with Specialist kinda sucks, but then again I guess in MW3 you only benefit from a few of them anyways. I'd be down for 1 perk every 2 kills until you have them all, that'd be pretty awesome. You're earning the perks so why don't they just see how far you can get? Pretty sure if you're on a 16 killstreak you probably deserve 8 extra perks. Oh, and on the topic of getting points, I'm really not a fan of them weighting it. In a gamemode like SnD, sure you deserve more than 1 for planting a bomb (or hell even getting kills as the last man standing) but in a game like Domination there's a lot of flag capping going on in a good match. I guess it's to try and prevent spawntrapping since you can now get 2 points for flipping the spawn and screwing your team, but still that extra point will add up real fast. There also hasn't been anything leaked about weapon proficiencies. Can't say I'm a fan of them, but they made Specialist Bonus awesome so I'll be sad to see that go away.
You don't only get 4 extra perks, how it would work is that when you get 2 kills, you get 1 perk, once you get 4 kills, you get 2 more perks, once you get 6 kills, you get 3 more perks, and once you get 8 kills, you get 4 more perks. I thin it would be cool like that. Regarding the extra points for flag caps and such, I don't give a sh*t considering all i play is free for all, lol.
