Subject: No Scope vs Quick Scope

I'm looking for Columbus, OH players to join me for 2v2 Halo 3 tourneys.

I've been watching a lot of highlight videos and montages recently, due to waiting on repairs to my 360. I noticed that a lot of the sniper kills in the videos are quick scopes.

FYI, quick scoping is almost the same as no scoping, but you zoom in almost at the same time as shooting, hence the name.

I'm pretty good with no-scopes up to BR range, but haven't actually tried quick scoping too much. I was wondering are there any advantages/disadvantages to using the quick scope over the no-scope?

Thanks in advance.

Hope for the best.
Prepare for the worst.

WOW, the H2 forum is sure alive today.

I would say quick is better.

What did my post have to do with H2?

the problem with quick scope is that if you get shot by the br at just the right time instead of you being able to zoom out you will keep zooming out. this does not always happen but can be a pain if you dontr get the headshot

I've always viewed quick scoping as just a particularly good headshot, and not something separate and special.

Quick-Scope looks better IMO, but no scope takes more skill IMO.

Wow, I said IMO twice, no wait 3 times.

In terms of accuracy quick scope is very handy, ive managed to get a triple by quick scoping a bunch of snipers gathered together using the human sniping.

Again the person who brought up the point about getting shot with the br and you auto scope out is true. so either practice or only do it if you know/ you are confident enough you go for a head shot. Mostly those who are more confident with the sniper get -blam!- kills like jumping at a ridiculously fast and acute angle and getting the snipe is such a small time and window off scope. You probably know this already but both snipers are very sensitive as to how fast to bash the right trigger, a double bash should do the trick.

ARBITER, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT BUTTER!!! WORT WORT WORT.

On Halo 2, I can effectively no scope... thanks to training with the blind skull. However, quick scopes are the classy, cinematic way to do it, and they work just as good.

No scoping can be pretty difficult across a map. Quick scoping can allow you to get that kill.
