9 Great Video Games With ONE Broken Enemy

6. Quick-Scoping Players - Call Of Duty

Alright no, it's not an "enemy type" or a boss, but try telling me the heathenous action of quick-scoping should be except from the Hall of Bullsh*t.

Exactly.

First mentioned - and cursed - back in 2007 with Modern Warfare, "quick-scoping" refers to using a sniper rifle like run n' gun one-shot killing machine. The tactic involves aiming for just a split-second - long enough for the reticule to appear and the game to change its accuracy stats to reflect an "aimed shot" - but then firing and releasing the aim button again.

If done correctly, you get all the bonuses of staying on the move, plus the instead death-bringing power of a sniper rifle. Various Call of Duty game devs have attempted to stop quick-scoping with patches and amendments, slowing down aim speed or treating the weapon with more weight overall, but even in the latest Black Ops 4, it's running rampant.
