Sorry if I sound like a noob but... what does no scope mean?

I'd Rather Be A Smartass Than A Dumbass

It is well known as notoriously hard to shoot someone with the sniper rifle without useing the scopes zoom function(No matter what anybody tells you).

Any lucky(And lets face it that's what they are) shots made while unscoped are gleefully cried out as "NOSCOPE -blam!-" by overexcitable 10 year olds on a regular basis.

Does that explain sufficiently sir. XD

Sums it up nicely. They try to make it seem like they get noscopes all the time, but their reaction to getting one defeats them. Anyone who gets noscopes consistently would get bored yelling "ZOMG NOSCOPE" everytime. Not to mention their voice would go out...

Good description Xiahou.
I've actually gone an entire round attempting to 'noscope' everyone.
Found myself having to struggle to not zoom at far away people, just wait for them to be closer.
I think he's right, it's 99% luck shots.

If you want to play a few rounds I'll show you.

There are people that can noscope without "luck" though there are not many.


yeah I don't understand how you could call it luck, it's called having a steady thumb while getting shot. not hard to do, no scoping is just about being able to not freak out when someone is rushing you

The large majority of them are luck. They are the result of people rushing right in front of the enemy crosshairs or the crosshair just landing on the enemy's head when the person jerks the control stick.

Not consistently on their first few shots at all though sir.

I myself find it easy to hit a stationary target with a noscope. Even from a distance.

I am also fairly confident of being able to hit a target at fairly close range (Perhaps about the sword lunge range?) though normally I can only get bodyshots and headshots are purely luck.

But still No-Scoping is hard and anyon who tells you they can no-scope both easily and consistently from any range. Is lying or has autoaim mods.
