Michael Condry van ontwikkelaar Sledgehammer heeft een duidelijke belofte gedaan aan de toekomstige spelers van Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. De game zal geen vorm van quick-scoping bevatten. In een recent interview laat Condry weten dat het ontwikkelteam hard heeft gewerkt aan het balanceren van classes:
Let me put it this way, sniper classes are not going to be overpowered relative to their peers. The ability to master a sniper rifle and be great at it will be equal to the ability to master any other class.Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare verschijnt 4 november voor de pc, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 en Xbox One.We’ve done some things to make sure snipers are not able to take advantage of their properties – for example, there are attachments based on weapon classes that are specific. The ability to quick-draw with an assault rifle is important, but you don’t want to have the ability to quick-draw with a sniper rifle because that lends itself to being a faster, quick-scope model.
We spent a lot of time trying to focus on it so I think sniper class players will find that it’s a really rewarding experience, but it won’t be over-powered relative to their peers.
