Quick scoping vs regular sniping
Comments

One gets you called a camper or 'hard-scoper', despite being the more realistic and traditional way to use a sniper, limiting your field of vision making you have to rely on your other senses and notifiers of enemies.
Others usually involve a dot on your screen and the skill-less abuse of a 1-hit kill rifle's perfect accuracy for less than a second. The traditional COD killing way of using a sniper. Considered 'pro'.
You decide. -
Quick scoping isn't considered sniping, let alone pro sniping. Quick scoping is merely bypassing the inaccuracy of a sniper rifle out of scope by quickly scoping in and switch to a secondary weapon. The scope isn't used to aim in any way, and instead the "sniper" used the center of his screen to aim at his opponent and relying on the overwhelming power of his rifle to kill, even when merely grazing a opponent's arm.
Quick scopers are mobile cannons, and not snipers. -
It depends on how much fps you have and how you feel with the sniper. I don't really care if somebody hard scopes or quickscopes me. The only important part is getting the kill. You might be in a situation where It's a 1v4. You get the three with quickscopes, no scopes, hardscopes, etc. but if you miss the 4th guy, it's still a loss. Sure it's a 3k and a good record, but this game is a team based game (unless ffa). So it's best if you guarantee a kill rather than risking a loss.

I think a balance between the two is ultimately the best. If I'm sniping an obvious choke point from long range where opponents are bound to run out, I'm gonna hard scope that choke point and wait. When I hear someone flanking me or getting close, I will turn around fast and quickscope their ass.
Why is either less valid then the other? Sure, the realism argument against QSing is there but this isn't real life. You can bet your ass if a sniper IRL could effectively quickscope they'd be doing it. I can't help it if the game mechanics allow me to snipe in a less then realistic fashion.
Don't hate the player, hate the game... mechanics

I don't think there are many forumers that even know who the #$@*!! you are. Just saying.
That time of the month again eh? I belive im older than you on this forums
edit. theres no point in arguing with you, and im saying that from experience so im done -
That time of the month again eh? I belive im older than you on this forumsI've been here little over 3 years now. I've seen many people come and go, and I can honestly say that I haven't come across your name enough for you to be crowning yourself a legend among us.

Legends in a free to play game , I couldn't laugh harder. -
If you want to hear my opinion:
Im in reallife elite soldier and sniper. I think
that Quickscope is a stupid invention.
It became popular in Call of Duty ...
And then it came to Crossfire. Well, the most teens think its "cool". It is a little bit.
But its not cool that you get called "dsr noob" or "hs noob" or "omg camper".
But thats the point. I set already for hours on mud and soil, thats a sniper.
You´re quietly in SnD until you see someone in your crosshair.
Of course its now popular to shoot almost without scope / trickshoot. If you like it: Do it.
But dont call other people who dont want to do the same as you do: Noob,
thats just noobish if a 16 years old kid call me so

Can I be a legend?which is better and more pro
when i say regular sniping i mean like flick shot or something
Depends on the situation. Most of the time quick scoping is more of a defensive mechanism. It is very useful for when you are being pushed and need the mobility. It also avoids the on hit recoil that scopes have while scoped in. Doing everything right and then having your shot missed, because you got hit once can be frustrating at times. Although at longer ranges when I am the one initiating the fight, I tend to use my scope. -

^Pretty much this.
Hard-scoping takes a bit more skill since you are actually waiting for an enemy to run into your scopes. It is more challenging at certain times but you can monitor hot-zones and get a good amount of kills going. To me, hard-scoping is more realistic and hence forth, more pro.
Quick-scoping is somewhat challenging but after a while, it's rather easy. Whether you sharpie a dot on your screen or just memorize where the center of your screen is, with just 2 buttons, you get the kill.. Not only is this unrealistic but it's close to impossible to pull off in real life.
The AWM weighs about 15 lbs. Rather light no doubt but to pull it up, pull the bolt back, look down the scope without adjusting for range, and shoot within 2 seconds might be possible, but rather impossible to actually hit the target due to recoil and no compensation for bullet drop, etc.
I define Quick-scoping to be more of a bug or glitch than an actual tactic for using a sniper rifle.
All this being said, I hardscope and quickscope depending on the situations but I prefer hard-scoping. -

Pathetic. Go play another game if you want realism.
PS: You might want to look at a replay. Nothing changes on the model when you scope. There is no pulling the rifle up, pulling the bolt back or adjusting for range. -

Give me $1500 and you'll never see me on these forums ever again.

Which is exactly why it cannot be pulled off in real life, making it unrealistic. You have to do all of that to operate a sniper rifle again IRL. Unlike here where the scope adjustment is just 1 click and done.

I'm not sure why I would wan't to pay you to leave. Also, amazing shooting feats are done all the time with enough practice/repetition.[MOD]Frecklez wrote: »Play nice, Doop. Don't make me take you out of the sandbox on my first day.

In order for the quick-scope to be successful; everything would have to either be rigged (correct scope adjustment, target positioned in the same exact spot per every attempt, etc.) or the person just gets very lucky. Not to mention, again, bullet drop that can't really be accounted for when you have .3 seconds to look through the scope. Not saying it's impossible but it's highly, highly unlikely even with practice and repetition.
I understand this is a video game, it's not meant to be realistic but this quick-scoping ordeal is a bit too much. -

How would it have to be rigged? Most of the shots in cf are less than 100 meters... You don't need to account for bullet drop at 50 meters
