Sledgehammer Games' Michael Condrey has said there will be no quick-scoping in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.

Speaking with 3 News, Condrey said Sledgehammer had worked to reduce the aim assist that some Call of Duty snipers exploited by quick-scoping in competitive multiplayer.

"Let me put it this way, sniper classes are not going to be overpowered relative to their peers," Condrey said. "The ability to master a sniper rifle and be great at it will be equal to the ability to master any other class.

"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."

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare will be released on November 4.

Gameplanet is running a two-part feature on how Sledgehammer is pushing Call Of Duty into a new generation.
