Now, it's impolssible not to know what quickscoping is; a highly aggressive method of using a sniper, staying scoped for at little time neccesary to get an accurate shot.

Everyone tries it once in a while, but there are alot of people who do nothing but it.

~Pros~


-It is fast to pull off.
-It is usually an instant kill.
-It has become a way to show off "skill" in online matches.
-They give the sniper some better choices at close range

~Cons~


-Doing it is high impractical unless through instinct.
-Many Prodigies will insult real snipers as skill-less "hardscopers"
-Due to the increased difficulty with killing someone, the player might slow the team down.
-Makes it nearly impossible to hit someone at long range, and still tricky up close in moments of panic.

~Prodigies~


These are the kids you see who will CONSTANTLY Quickscope. if you snipe and don't quickscope, they will call you a "hardscoper".
How to tell if someone's a prodigy:
1.Ask them what weapon they would take in a zombie apocalypse. if they say Intervention, they are probably a prodigy.
2.Ask them if they think they can quickscope IRL. if they say yes, they are a prodigy.
3.Offend them. if they challenge you to a 1v1 (Probably on rust with radars on and miniscule health), they are a prodigy.

~Final thoughts~


Personally, I like quickscoping. I like to use it online. but I don't ALWAYS do it. I either do it iff friends are doing it, if I randomly feel like it or for the final kill.
What I DON'T like are prodigies. the ones who'll quickscope all the time, and get negative K/Ds or not go for objectives. Alot of them say I don't quickscope because I suck at it, and then they challenge me to 1v1s. I have never lost to the prods who have.

Post your thoughts.



Let go, and then I, Lose control,
And I'm falling faster than I'd really like,
Down I go, further, Out of control,
But it makes no sense to give up at this height,
I just need a sign to tell me I'm alright...

Only use it when trickshotting. Indifferent to prodigies, kind of "laugh silently to myself" whenever I see 'em.

I don't snipe, so I never do it. The whole "ah what a hardscope ***!'" gets annoying though.

If you are a Quickscoper, and aren't going on about how you are doing better than everyone using ARs and SMG, or insulting me by calling me a "Hardscope Noob" I couldn't care less and all the more power to you.

What X said basically.

I can do it. Sometimes. **** poor ping rates often result in misses, even though they looked like perfect hits (that annoys me so much).

But the thing that gets me most annoyed about these "quickscopers" is if they miss, they instantly go to the panic knife or switch to akimbo USP.45s from a mile out and spam until your dead. If you're going to Quickscope - you're not going to get better at if you keep switching/knifing -,- Man up and take a death if you wanna do that.

Would you call this quickscoping? http://www.youtube.com/watc...izAb1PrU

and yeah I quick scope because I like a challenge with using the sniper because I find using a assault rifle (any other weapon) a bit boring just holding down the trigger and spamming bullets at the enemy until they die. Also another perk of using a sniper they can be used at all ranges.

there are some elitists who'll say that that wasn't "quick scoping" because you scoped in completely. Ie; you saw the cross-hairs.

They're dumb. It was quick, you used the scope. 'Nuff said about it really.

I often say sniping is unfair but that might just be because I'm not good at it.

the only time I get annoyed is if I'm shooting at a dude, and have hit him at least twice and then he scopes in and OHKs me. That's the only time I think it's a bit of BS.

I have a problem with people that only QS, talk **** at every match, then get mad when you snipe them. Or, as I've recently dealt with, you use the sniper rifle correctly, and they start calling you a "try-hard". If I'm just with my friends though, I don't have a problem with it, and I'm apparently pretty decent at it. So, as long as they're not a "Prodigy"(which I think is a very ill-fitting name for them /), it's okay. Unfortunately, they're also the ones I encounter the most.

I never got why "hard-scoping" is an insult, since that's how you're supposed to use a sniper rifle.

I quickscope whenever I'm bored or just don't feel like using conventional weapons. And of course, for final kill if possible (but I won't do it if the second place person is right behind me in score).

But I swear some people are using hacks when they quickscope, it's hard to stop your reticle DIRECTLY on someone when your sensitivity is 10 or something.

I'm happy to know I'm not the only one who doesn't get it. That, and this new "try hard" thing every 12 year old with a mic is whining about.

No it's not. It just comes down to how used to playing on 10 sens you are. I only play on 10..

It's true. My friend can do exactly that without using any hacks. Still annoying when it happens though.

Yeah takes a lot of practice to get that good at quick scoping, (Im still crap at quick scoping, when i do quick scope it's a fluke lol) at the moment I play on 9 sensitivity. Everytime I go from 9 to 10 I suck at playing so I switch back to 9 xD

Eh, it's not that hard when you get used to it. I myself play on 7 and I can I can quickly whip myself right around to face the opposite direction and snap directly to the guy shooting me.

I would be pretty decent at quick scoping if it wasn't for the fact that they aren't automatic.

The best results for QSing is 7-8 sensitivity. I'm too used to playing on 10, so anything lower is too sluggish.

Hip-firing RPD whilst spinning around is great fun xD

I usually play around 2-4. My friend hates it, always has to turn it up.

I'd be forcing you onto a higher sensitivity if I were your friend. My friend who sometimes plays with me used to play on 4 or 5 as his highest. I've annoyed him and forced him to play on higher sensitivities for so long, he now plays on 8 haha. He's much more comfortable, and much better (although he still sucks) at the game playing on the higher sensitivity as he reaction time is improved enough to make him more competitive than the lower sensitivities allowed him to be.
