Flick shotting.
Its essentially snapping to a fixed point almost immediately. See a guy, give your reticule a quick flick up and dome away.
Flicking is very inconsistent, and usually less experienced snipers do this. Better to have more control over ur reticule.
Its definitely inconsistent if you don't play constantly.I think you mean skilled not experienced.

When I'm playing on a foreign host I hit almost every no-scope.

I can't snipe when I myself have host.

flciking your reticule is not a good idea. ACtually aiming is better.

I play games for gameplay, not silly gimmicks

H3 MM warrior

Reach S7, 8 and 9 arena warrior.

H4 MM legend

In H3 quick scoping.

In reach I find myself more balanced between the 3. No scoping is so much easier now.

The good way

So sniping while iron boosting.


fkn lol

I prefer hard scoping. My controller is unreliable when it comes to quick scoping, and my joysticks slow turn so no-scoping is more chance than skill.

I suck with Reach's sniper though.

I prefer no-scoping in Halo. I find it very hard to stay still (in any FPS) and I find it difficult to track my targets with an analog stick.

  • 05.21.2012 3:02 AM PDT

Noscoping is easier for me and is my fav. I can't quick-scope though :(

There is no option for being launched into the air and firing random shots before I hit the ground and die.

What's hard scoping?

Genisis is actually correct ITT. Taking your time to hit the no scope is more skillful and more experienced snipers do this. You have 4 shots to hit a no scope before your shield is gone, so take your time and hit it.

OT - I prefer quickscoping or no scoping. I never hardscope, there's something about it that I can't do.

It's when you sit in scope watching an area waiting to take a shot. It involves a lot of prediction. For example, if my team calls out the enemy team is spawning their snipehut on Asylum, I'll scope in on it and wait for them to pop out.

  • 05.21.2012 8:10 AM PDT

In 1v1s, basically only noscopes. In actual games, it depends on the distance and if people are focused on me or not. If they are looking at a teammate, I will zoom in. If they are shooting me, I will just no-scope.

I cant quickscope. Whenever I zoom-in, my controller jerks a little to the right so it is very inconsistant. It is much easier to snipe when you have the reticle lined up rather than having to whip shot. I used to play on 10 and used to hit those quite frequently, but other than that, its not practical.

Deutschland uber alles!

Hmm wow usually I just aim somewhere near there head because Reach has an auto head shot system that gives you a free kill if you fire anywhere near the head. Seriously, in all my games on Halo 3, I was never headshotted as often as I am in this game. It turned noobs into marksman overnight.

That's just ambush sniping, I think. Hardscoping is basically camo sniping on the cliff on hemmhorage.
