Subject: which is more..... NO scoping or Trick shoting

I would think that no scoping wold be more pro but more people say that trick shoting is...

Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.

My experience playing Cairo Station on Legendary

Both involve two aspects:
1. Being a Douche
2. A lot of luck.

On topic, probably no scoping because so much can make your nerves go haywire and cause you to miss the shot.

They're both pointless and a waste of bullets.

I believe that no-scoping is more "pro" since it will usually require more skill than luck when compared to trick shooting.

  • 04.24.2012 1:53 PM PDT

I agree with Mythic on this.. Its a bog waste of ammo.. unless your no scope aim is perfect...

No matter the case you should always conserve your ammo and play the game like it's an MLG tournament. Be tactful and always do what helps the team.

Noscope because it's actually useful in some instances. People who go for trick shots are dumbasses.

Black Ops 2 I run two accounts warmup only at 1.97kdr...real is at 3.77. i'm in master division 4 league play. pm 4 clan inv...must have 2.5 kdr or better

More what? Trick shoting takes way more skill. I'm better than all of you at both of these though. My snipe is pro. My BR strafe on the other hand could use work.

that's a terrible mindset.. I've had plenty of no scopes where someone is shooting me from behind or in front, then I no scope them and kill them. It's not a waste when you can do it.. It's also not pointless when you can no scope as good as you can snipe with a scope. It just takes practice.

They both have their uses.

Calling either pro though is a misconception.

Trick shotting is definitely useless. No scoping is an extremely handy and often practical skill. It's often the deciding factor in whether you survive with a sniper or hand it to the enemy team.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

This. It doesn't matter to me how nice the shot is dressed up, you're going to miss it most often if you don't simply aim and fire. However, no scoping does have advantages, and should be used when need be. But not when you can make the shot without it just as easily.

The man has a point. Obviously you don't want to go for no scopes when you don't have to; but if you can't do them at all, you're going to drop some easy kills.

And then you remembered you were a 1045th account 50 with a 37 in TS.

I have TS 50s. Also, I have a killianmanjaro followed by an exterm in snipers and that will be in my montage. I also have two back to back exterm clips in snipers. Here's a trick shot which is going to be the opening clip of my montage: video I'm not posting the other clips because people have stolen clips of mine. another basic clip When I finish my montage all will be explained. I am not very good with BR, but I am very good at jumping and sniping.

50s in: Slayer, Doubles, Lone Wolves, Objective, Ranked BTB, Swat, Snipers.

You got that Snipers 50 post-Reach, didn't you?

By the way, that sniping clip was average at best. You sniped someone, and then got a stationary NS on some kid jumping straight at you. Nothing remotely impressive.

No, I've gotten snipers 50s before and after Reach. I rarely played in 11 at all. The first clip was a sick jump so prove to me you can do that (let alone in game) before saying it's bad. Second clip is just a trick shot because I don't know many people that use that spot.

Like I said I don't want to ruin my montage by posting everything. Those are just basic clips to start off the montage. I have clips that include back to back multikills from killtacs to triples to 3v3 exterms to back to back exterms. I guess I can post a few more clips (I will tommorow after I watermark them lol). Also, my brother and me boosted about 15 accounts together (mostly in doubles), but I can tell you every single Snipes 50 I got was legit and had me leading the team in scoring. I find it a bit annoying that people call my shots easy and then don't really show anything they did to prove their better. That's what annoys me.

My jumping skills and sniping is what I think does make me a good halo player. I don't care if you got a 50 in every playlist. It doesn't mean your automatically better than me at everything in the game. I really never attempted a MLG 50 and my brother has gotten one. I don't want to start a flame war people. I will try to get a prototype montage with all my rendered clips. Editing may suck, but hopefully then people will see I'm not a liar about this.

Halo 3 Legend

They are both but a lot of luck. They require no skill. I'd say that going negative 20 against level 10's would be more pro, and that is awful.

You don't win anything by doing this jump, it only gets you killed lol
another basic clip
Those are pretty lame kills, doesnt show you're a great sniper...

that is false.. while trick shooting is luck, no scoping is skill if your good at it and can line up shots while getting shot

Alright guys. I seriously wish you guys would stop complaining. Yeah, I made a comment that I'm better that I'm the best at sniping. It was partially in sport and partially FACT. Stop getting all butthurt. A level 50 exterm

why are posting games of you going negative at low levels?

Someone posted the loljump clip. The jump clip I posted hosted a double kill and is from a different game all togehter. The other games I went postive. Like I said, you all be jelly xD

I'm not perfect at this game. I'm barely even good anymore if it weren't that the kids that play today are so bad. I mean my peak was late08-early10. I basically took most of '11 off and I'm only like 50% of my old self and I can still snipe at a high level. When my montage comes out I'll post a second version all the game stats to each game with everything annotated. Overall, most games I went very positive and played decent competition. I might dual with my older brother Justin because he has better non snipe clips that would complement it. I don't have a capture card so I'm aways from this getting finished. I didn't realize this thread would become about me just because I was being a little cocky. I don't take myself that seriously and I would hope you guys wouldn't either. I'm proud of my accomplishments and really it's just a game. Long live Halo 3!
