Quick Scoping

Has anyone used the sniper extensively for quick-scoping? I tried it this afternoon and it is very effective given the quick zoom-in, but I couldn't tell how the accuracy works during the zoom-in.

Does anyone know if you have to wait for the scope to completely zoom-in in order to receive a pinpoint shot? Can you shoot as soon as the animation starts and expect an accurate shot?

The sniper in MNC is perfect for quick scoping. Pretty much the instant you hit that left trigger, you're bullet is going to go right in the center of the crosshairs.

You could also dot your screen to further boost your qickscoping abilities.

'Quick scoping' is a mythical thing. This wonderful nonsense came about when those who weren't talented enough to no-scope wanted something to make themselves important.

The sniper in any game is good for 'quick scoping', as 'quick scoping' has no limits to it. It's a hard scope, and there's no set time that you're allowed to look down the scope before you shoot.

'Quick scoping' will always be hard scoping.

Regardless of how it is in other games, in MNC no scope sniping is borderline impossible at any decent range due to the horrid accuracy of the sniper rifle while it's not scoped. Even with gold accuracy you still NEED to use the scope to hit anything that's moving or isn't in your face with the sniper rifle. Find some other place to troll, m'kay?

Black ops that's all i need to say

any no scoping when you juice and run into the base with lvl 3 sniper is handy...i do it when i play sniper

the real question is...why is it called hard scoping :lol:

i watch people fail when they could have easily won a match of s&d, trying to quickscope.

they think hardscoping is some kind of girly move. i hardscope and win the next round, and they curse me out.

i tell them "your telling me i look horrible and no-skill when i won and you lost? i dont get it. they put a scope on the rifle. your allowed to look down it all you want. are you saying its a glitch?"

next CoD game, what do you think they patched? the "hardscoping" glitch? or the other kind of scoping? ill give you a hint, its the kind of scope REAL snipers use.

i wana see some drunk guy play CoD and then try to quick scope with a .50 rifle in real life. every tooth in his mouth would be pushed through the back of his head from the stock of the rifle impacting it at god-aweful force.

Lol. seems some1 has never tryed quick scoping and no scoping in Modernwarfail 2. Quick scoping does take skill cause u only get one shot in or ur ded. thats it. and well for no scoping. its all 100% luck. even with the little tricks you can do its still 90% luck your gonna hit them. MNC quick scoping is ezier and well no scoping infintely alot ezier.

well s&d meant modernwarfail2.

bottom line:cocky people quickscope, quickscoping makes failures out of guranteed shots, and quickscoping got falcon-punched outta any future CoD games.

dont mind if i toot my own horn but...

^this

Shut your face. Did I try to deny anything that you said in your post? How exciting of you to call me out on an argument that I didn't even make.

The truth is that there's no set standard for quick scoping, hence my original point: quick scoping is fictitious. It's just a way for people to feel like they're doing something cool when in reality they're just not looking down their sights in hope of someone crossing their path.

And yes, now no-scoping is 100% luck, HOWEVER, when it originated it took skill. Players should have let it die, but NO. Tool bags like Grizz thought, "oh noes, how will i stay in the spotlight," and quick scoping was born.

Now you shut your dirty little face and don't call me a troll, m'kay? You aren't clever. My post was on tropic, and the fact that I don't agree with you doesn't make me a troll. (However, this post does, I suppose.)

and BroTranquility, thumbs up to you.

Continue discussing!

BroTranquilty. no second "I".

and am i the only one whos not phazed about quickscoping (which kills the ******* way more than it earns the ******* kills), or strong smgs? cuz the smg in MNC is laughably weak compared to the smg in MW2 and Black Ops. tho i must say, at least the M16 is equal to an smg in black ops. might be the final deciding factor for me to get the game in a year or two. its better than WaW, but still just mw2 with season on top, including all the broken things of mw2.

I'll have to disagree and say that quick scoping is definitely a "thing". In games where accurate no-scoping is possible, then there is no reason to. But in a game like MNC, it simply refers to the technique of using the scope only to make your shot centered, rather than using the scope to refine your aim.

There are definitely games that are more suited to quick scoping. Like I said, MNC is perfect for it because you can shoot as soon as you touch that left trigger. In a game like MW2, there is a short scoping animation that must be completed before you can fire, making it considerably harder. In a game like Halo 3, you have a tiny reticule on the sniper and minuscule bullet spread, so there is no reason to quick scope at all.

I completely agree that quick scoping for the point of showing off is stupid, but there are definitely times when it's an advantageous technique. I often quickscope at short to medium-short range, for various reasons. I might do it because I have the sniper out, and I can get the kill in the same time it would take to switch my weapon. I might do it because the sniper deals damage faster than the SMG, plus is able to score a OHKO. no matter the reason, quickscoping makes much more sense than "hard scoping" at closer ranges against a strafing/bunnyhopping opponent, because at close ranges short movements require big aiming adjustments when you're looking down the scope.

Hey guys, new to the forum. Anyway I've tried to use like a quickscope tactic but I only find it useful for shooting gunners or tanks tanks, because you know, they're fatties. I've hit the other classes sometimes, but I think its far better to wait for them to slow down and try for the head shot. But as for no scoping, with Gold Accuracy, you can actually hit people and turrets fairly easily out of scope. I don't know if any of these points have been covered because I didn't feel like reading all of the thread. So yeah there's my opinion.

if its a quickscope private match, sure. if your quickscoping because your gettin shot at and you at least want to put forth an effort, sure

if your quickscoping off a hidden balcony at a stationary target, please shake your XBox up now, oh and dont worry about taking the MW2 disc out the tray first, it will make the shot register better, i promise.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

no-scope with accuracy endorsement is okay. i used to do something like that on CoD4, with my gold dragunov i could get the beat on the recoil, and it was sort of predictable, so i used it no scope and acog scope.

In this game, a no scoped shot does much less damage than a scoped in shot. Because of this, there is very little reason to ever shoot without scope.

Allow me to summarize this thread:

ITT unless you main Sniper, YJDK.

In a laggy game, quick scoping makes me vomit. Anyone ever notice that? Zoom in and out and in and out in a half second.

1: This isn't the Cock of Doodie forum. Any discussion regarding Cock of Doodie should be taken to a forum Bobby Kotick gets money from.

2: Your post had nothing to do with MNC since you apparently were referring to Cock of Doodie instead. Which WAS quite unlike the rest of the topic until YOU derailed it with more Cock of Doodie.

3: no u troll

4: Lol, off-tropic.

And yet you still manage to disregard my entire argument? Your posts are awfully cute, though.

COD has absolutely NOTHING to do with the fact that in any game, there is no set time that you are allowed to look down your scope for a 'quick scope', meaning a 'quick scope' is different to each individual, meaning that the universal term 'quick scope' is fictitious.

Well done, though?
