[poll] no scoping poll

[DEADZONE[DAM]]

As you all know in a tight spot a sniper can can call on a his secondary weapon to kill the enemy or he can take a pot shot from the hip. this is a chat- poll to see your thourghts on long and short range no scoping.

I heard that if you take the sniper rifle, you could put a little sticky dot on you screen and set the sniper rifle to no scope. Pretty much making your own cross hairs.

haha shoe i was just talking to deadzone on vent about that.. he says thats pointless and i agree... you gotta be pretty hard up for some kills if your doin that!

 

[DEADZONE[DAM]]

yes the sniper is very accurate but for that type or shooting why not rifle, also a sticky dot would mess up my screen ( very expensve )

 

[Buck Private -I|G-]

in CS you can do this and many people do in CQC battles (close quarter combat). But in DOD the gun physics make the sniper so inaccurate when not scoped in. Unless you are very very close to the subject you wont get a kill like that.

 

[Skipper Finny]

If you know how to do it, skill.
If your trying to no-scope a guy across the map, noobish

interesting read X-KP but i dont see what this has to do with no-scope shooting with sniper?

 

[Mr. Chair -TR-]

I use it at close range alot when someone runs around the corner spraying at me and I dont have time to switch, but I dont run around like that intentionally.

I also like to no-scope fire into smoke sometimes because its faster, and you got just as much chance of hitting something as if you were scoped. No point in scoping in when trying to get a random blind luck kill.

 

[Ok {A|R}]

I chose skill, because it has taken me quiet a good amount of time to be able to eye ball where my cross hairs would be if I had them on an unscoped sniper. As well I feel it is worth calling skill because when you try to no scope someone on purpose... you have to do quiet a process. In a matter of seconds you need to unscope, flip around to face the enemy, move your rifle in line with the enemy just by eye balling where the cross hairs would be and then shoot the enemy in the head or chest to kill them. All before the enemy who has snuck up on you, unloads an entire clip into your back. OR while the enemy who has snuck up on you unloads an entire clip in to your back.

Even when no-scoping, the sniper rifle will still move around as if you're sniping while standing. A simple dot at the center of the screen won't help you much because of it. However, I noticed the probability of hitting someone no-scoped is greater when crouched and more accurate than standing and much better when prone. Course, I only recommend trying to no-scope close or medium range.
For long range, you have a scope for a reason. No -scoping in DOD:S sort of reminds me of the HL mod Battlegrounds.

[you dig?]

it depends if it is 1v1 or if you are just firing into a crowd. 1v1 yeah it should take skill.

pure luck

 

[Betty Spaghetti]

Its skill, you just get used to it.
