QS 101, In my opinion

[PMS_Tiffuhknee]

Here's my understanding of QS'ing, and this is what my boyfriend taught me.
Basically, quickscoping is pretty much looking through your scope and hold in your breath (Not in real life, but on the game lol) if you hold your breath until you hear a heartbeat from your character, its a hardscope. But, getting down to the matter at hand. Everyone thinks QS'ing is not looking through your scope at all, but the fact of the matter is, thats not a quickscope, its a blackscope. Quickscoping is, L1, Push in the right toggle, R1. So basically, you're looking through your scope, holding your breath for a split second and shooting. Now, another really important thing to always remember is, stop moving. When you go to shoot when quickscoping, not moving is really important. So if you're running or walking you need to make sure you fully stop before you try to shoot, because if you are moving even the least bit, more than likely you're going to miss because it wont be accurate. Another important thing, practice, practice, practice. It is hard to get QS'ing down to a T, in fact, i still haven't gotten completely great at it, but you have to practice. Go into private matches with friends and do just QS'ing. You can either use Intervention or Barret, there are ups and downs to each gun. On the barret, the scope comes up faster, and you can also QS fast, a down side, is that (in my opinion) its less accurate and i get more hit markers with the barret than the Intervention. With the Intervention, I just think this is a great sniper rifle all around, but it does recoil a lot and shoots slower which makes QS'ing a bit more challenging. But, going to a private match with friends and messing around, go into a FFA and mess around with it. Find out what your style is, what you're comfortable with, and use it to your advantage. :mvsmile: But, thats my little bit on QS'ing, if anyone else knows anything to add that i've forgotten feel free to share =D

thanks 4 that info tiff! :)

No problem Glitterz =D
I've noticed a lot of people on here saying that they'd like to Quickscope, but they dont really know how so i figured i'd post a few pointers i've learned along the way of learning how to quickscope myself, along with other things people ahve taught me XP

That's something new to me, I didn't know you had to hold your breathe as soon as you aim. I'm gonna try that during practice next time.

you dont nessessarily HAVE to but it lines it up with the center better :P i have seen people quick scope without holding there breathe and be really good at it but i'm sure they practiced there ass off for it :) personally i hate quick scope people cause they often fail and i believe snipers are given a secondary for a reason :D but thats just me

This is a very good point. And i do agree with you. Thats why most QS'ers fail in most matches and die alot, because when you get a hit marker, you shoudl immediately pull out your secondary to finish them off. No reason to try to get an oober awesome killcam just because you're trying to be leet. lol Secondary's as a QS'er and a sniper in generally are very important.
But as you said, holding your breath ISN'T necessary, as i said, those are just MY opinions and my pointers to give to people. I've found holding my breath works out a lot better in the end when i'm QS'ing. If i hold my breath as soon as i aim, i have found that i hit more shots, than when i dont

Thank you fr clarifying that to everyone because I'm sorry but it pisses me off when I'm playing search and they say I hardscope because I don't scope in like half way. They are the ones who do not know how to quick scope. Kids think they are good when they scope in half way. That's called luck. There is no skill involved when you scope in before you can even see your target. If anything it's called no scoping and fake quickscopers do that.

Exactly, thats blackscoping, and basically, you'll see a lot of people with steady aim do this. I'd like to see half of those kids take off steady aim, and put on Ninja, like i have, and "QS" like that, because more than likely they will miss more than they ever did. Steady aim helps with blackscoping a lot because its basically no scoping. It's not accurate.
Another thing, people always expect everyone to be "quickscopers" you know, sniper rifles weren't made specifically for QS'ing. Not everyone is a super awesome quickscoper. Hardscoping is okay in certain circumstances. And if you can't quickscope, hardscope, its whatever, there's no rule in MW2 saying that if you're using a sniper rifle, you HAVE to QS. I get so mad at people when i hear them b*tching at other people because they're hardscoping... so what? They're getting kills, thats how they play, let it go!!

[Rizkit]

This is pretty good stuff girl! Wow, and I'm completely retarded because I decided to finally say your forum name out loud and got it -___-

ANYWAY, yeah. I'm glad you said STOP MOVING because it took me so long to realize this. It's so frustrating when you're dead on the target, but you move the slightest bit and it's off >< I still have trouble doing it because I hate being a still target. Especially if I'm trying to quick scope a guy shooting at me with a machine gun.

It makes a shot much easier when you've already got them in the crosshairs somewhat in the middle, rather than scoping in and moving to them. Most of the time I don't even hold my breath unless I notice that there's a bit of lag, then I will have to in order to make the shot. Or if I have the time to hold my breath, I'll do it for the headshot XD

I'd also say that in order to get good, you need high sensitivity! Especially if you do what I do and run around with a sniper, rather than camp a certain spot and hardscope. It'll really improve your quickness :) I used to play on like 5/6 but ever since I started sniping, I'm at a 8/9 with FPS freeks.

hardscope > QS in competitive matches >_<, I also choose to hard scope, then again I haven't practiced QS at all. I just try and seem to get some. You also look like a fool if you miss the shot(first hand experience).

If you play a competitive team and they get serious your going to see the snipers stay back and slaughter your team from range if you try QS constantly. The problem with QSer's playing to compete is that it may be a first time round. For the hardscoping snipers, they've learned spots and general areas to watch while in the back. Then again you could be a solid sniper all around and still know how to be a "true" sniper, "true" in the sense of how a sniper rifle is supposed to work(somewhat I know hip firing the barret is total lulz) and not how this game makes it work.

Perfect arguement! True Snipers Vs. Fake Snipers :O This game really exaggerates the snipers usefulness, I think the COD series really makes snipers eh less duty fitting. Look in BF:BC2 snipers USUALLY stay back, other games I know are DOD:S, CS:S,TF2,COD:WaW on the bigger maps, and many other FPS have snipers fulfill the "far ranged" role. :)

If you're good a QS'ing, by all means, QS, but dont make yourself look like a fool in pubs by practicing during S&D or something lol.. go do private matches with friends to practice before you take it out in real games because, if you QS'ing, and you're the last person alive in S&D.. and you're still not good, you're not gonna do well lol

Yes high sensitivity is important, i play on an 8, always, sometimes i'll go to a 9. XP

Yeah, I only stay back as a sniper if there is no respawn like in S&D. With the killcams and in hardcore they point to your direction, your position will always be known, which kind of defeats the whole purpose of being a sniper. You're supposed to be hidden amongst the shadows. And people spawn from everywhere cause the spawning system is terrible. But the game has a lot to do with it. BFBC2 is definitely more realistic, which is why I do like that game a lot better in some ways.

Ha hipfiring a barret is "lulz" cause you can just spam the trigger and eventually hit them....

Yeah, people get mad a QS'ers because they're like, its not realistic, real snipers dont QS IRL. Well, guess what, this isn't RL, its a game, so chill out lol. I've gotten fairly well at QS'ing, imo, so, i do run and gun with my Intervention because more than likely, in S&D, i could clutch with it. And if i dont think i can, i just get out my PP2000 which is pretty much like a primary. lol as for the barret, hipfiring with it like its an FAL, is why most people say its "nooby" but its whatever. I'll get p*ssed off if someone panic sprays me with Barret, but at the end of the game, however you got your kills, is whatever. I sh*t talk in MW2, but its just sh*t talking. I don't mean anything by it, just me running my mouth because thats what i do lol always have. =D

[H2O SkywalkerX]

Some pretty solid advice. I never even thought of holding my breathe down, and to stop moving which i seldom do. I just recently got MW2 back and have gotten back into it and i've become a quick-hardscoping champ, i say that as in its hardscoping but not sitting in the back, running around with the SMGers and all that. But QS i have not gotten a grasp on, i suck to put it plainly, i dont even try because i know it'll fail, but i'll give these pointers a shot and see how i do.

[PMS_Tiffuhknee]

My boyfriend told me to add this, when he quick scopes he pushes down the hold breathe button and looks thru the scope fully but if you do it fast enough you never actually hear the hold breath u just get the steadiness from doing it (he says this is more then likely what most "pro" quickscopers secret is.

[H2O SkywalkerX]

that sparks a new question for me though. do you have to wait until your scope is fully in, or can you just do it quick before you even see the crosshairs of your scope? im assuming thats the definition of a quick scope but still useful information

[Rizkit]

yeah, I sometimes scope in and push down the left analog stick to hold my breath, but not long enough so you can hear it.

skywalker - you can do it without even seeing the crosshairs. i do quickscopes all the time where I don't even look through the scope (i still scope in, but not long enough to see what's through it) or you can see what's through but for literally a quarter of a second.

[QuoTez]

Ohh snap, crackle, and pop, i learned something today. So all of these time i been playin/doing blackscope...lol im retarded. And yes, if you really want to become good at black/quik/hard/slow/white/soft scopes practice alot ALOT...lol

Definition of quickscoping, is basically looking through your scope fully. And shooting. If you dont look through your scope completely, you're blackscoping, which isn't a big deal, but is basically luck if you have on steady aim. Because as i said in a previous post, steady aim helps tremendously with blackscoping. If you take off steady aim, and try to do that, you're going to miss most of your shots because you dont have that perk to help your shot.
If you look through your scope, just for a split second, then shoot, thats a quickscope. Dont listen to all these fools who misunderstand blackscoping with quickscoping. They obviously know nothing about sniping in general.

actually, i doesnt matter cause i sometime use steady aim and dont, but im still able to do my blackscopes (the only wrong thing about it, is that i get alot of hitmarkers)..i think its just me (not showin off)
