Subject: no scope help?

Spartans never die, they just go MIA......

I love he sniper, as imsure most if not all of you do. it and the dmr are my choice weapons in MM. but i have a problem... (im sure to get some hate and trolling for this) I have games where my no scoping is great and im just a sniping machine. And i have other games where in those close quarters encounters i just cant land the shot for the life of me. so i was just wondering if you guys had a little trick, mindset, or a little system you use to land those needed no scopes in close range fights. I'm obviously no sniping god. or halo god. I just need some pointers.

Name's John. I'm a 21-year-old firefighter/EMT from lolhio who doubles as a die-hard Halo fan. I've been enjoying the franchise since 2001. My favorite iteration of Halo would have to be Halo 2 simply because I never got to experience the joy of a full-on Halo: CE LAN.


If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, and boot Zome.

Strafe into the shot for most situations.

Does flaming people on forums count as an esport?

This. Or if you know someone is coming around a corner, place your crosshair at about where their head will be when they turn the corner and face you. This means less distance to move the crosshair and an easier, faster one shot kill.

It's all about the quickscope. No-scoping is for amateurs..

yeah but if someone is close range laying down in you with an AR... how are you sposed to do a quickscope? wound no scoping be the logical choice?

i adjust my look sensitivity based on the level i'm playing. Something like Hemmorhage with long site lines turn it down for steadier scope shots, a map like Reflection i jack it way up so i can move the reticule super fast and get the no scope while the enemy is still trying to find me after he scoped in. Seems to work pretty well for me, kind of a pain to always be switchin it up, but worth it in my book.

I'm not the best at using the sniper but what helps me is lowering the sensitivity, both for no-scoping and for normal sniping. Another thing that helps when you are trying to no-scope is to stay calm when aiming. It's best to just try and take your time aiming rather than moving the crosshair all over the place hoping you land the shot.
