Quickscoping har eksisteret længe i multiplayer-skydespil, og lige så længe har det været en kontroversiel praksis. Hvorimod mange synes det er underholdende at se på, så er der nogle der synes at det forstyrrer spillets balance. I Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 omfavner de det dog med arme og ben, for Treyarch har bygget en riffel specifikt designet til at quickscope.
En af spillets designere, Tony Flame, har forklaret følgende om våbnet i et interview med VG247:
"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. But there's a huge community of snipers out there who would get frustrated - we have millions of players out there who love sniping."
"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 tha. 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."
Hvad synes du om inklusionen at sådan et våben?
