I've seen plenty of succsesful quickscopers, and just as many people say that quickscopers are too easy to kill to be a problem. What i can infer from this is that quickscoping isn't as as cheap as people make it out to be. It must take skill, timing and twitch-reflexes to pull off a quickscope... Right?  

is this similar to flick shots on cs?

On consoles they have aim assist to help players aim. It's not like autoaiming/aimbot, but rather when a player is within your crosshairs the game will "tug" the crosshairs along with the players movement.

Quickscoping is where people will run around with a sniping rifle and quickly press to scope-in then fire off before, or immediately after it is scoped in without actually looking/aiming. Because of the aim assist, while they are scoping in it still tries to keep their crosshair on the target, it makes it pretty easy to not worry about aiming and just scope-in/shoot--as long as they start with the crosshair remotely on the target. They can do this from most ranges(because sniper rifles aim assist works at a pretty far range since they are supposedly for long-distance combat. This means snipers can cover any range safely, long distance, medium, even close, because of their 1hk potential.

In my opinion it is an abuse of the mechanics and imbalances the sniper "class." It's not like noscoping(which is exactly what it sounds like) because that's purely a luck thing.

I don't know why they don't do an inverse-damage drop off where bullets do minimal damage to start and gain strength the further they get.  

Quickscoping only took me like a day to learn how to do. It sorta does take some thinking and precision to do, because if you miss the first shot, chances are you are ****ed unless the other guy is just terrible. I wouldn't call it a "skill", it's more twitch reflex after a while.

Well, in games like CoD, reflex is justs as good as skill enough to at least not be considered a noobish way around working for them kills.  

o, not skill then  

Call of Duty thread...NO.  

That awkward moment when you're running a shotgun in the same room as a sniper and you end up getting quick scoped.  

The only thing that takes skill in Call of Duty is Trash talk and sledging.  

It depends on the situation really... like if you're able to pull off a feed of roughly 3+ players in a room from quick scoping then yeah, i'll call that skill.  

People still give a **** about quickscoping?
What is this 2007?  

Go quick scope on Counter Strike that's what I call actual skill, not CoD games.

All the people calling quickscoping people "noobs" are the ones that aren't good enough to pull it off LOL  

I find it amusing that people click on this thread only to hate on CoD. If you don't like the topic, then don't click?
