Insane.

I don’t use it. Its gay. Anyone who says its about skill, they are wrong. The whole premise of QS’ing is that you don’t really have to aim. You just get in the general vicinity, don’t even have to have to be aimed on the target, and boom, registered on hit kill. Shoot someone at the ground in front of their feet, and its a headshot? Don’t think so.

Think about it, skill to get a one hit kill when you don’t have to aim, and aren’t even shooting right at the person? Its a glitch, pure and simple. It would be no different than if any other gun didn’t need to aim properly, but a certain cheesy move gets them a one hit kill.

I won’t be buying the next COD if this is in there. I was struggling with whether to get BF3 or MW3, Next time it will be BF

As far as “realism” goes…I threw that out the window with COD WaW and never looked back …bolt actions from across the map and mp40 spraying…The COD series is starting to become a joke…MW3 I personally witness four or five kids beat about 9 in a domination game…

And for anyone who thinks prestige is cool…what was your rank in Halo 2? Don’t remember know why….NO ONE CARES

I do not know about the QS fad, I haven’t really been the victim of it as much as others here are claiming. I can tolerate drop-shotting in small quantities… I’ve done it a few times. I don’t even mind the campers. Shooting from cover is one of the most widely used and basic principles of combat. My big MW3 gripe is towards the bastards who think “bunny hopping” or jumping over my rounds is acceptable. C’mon people. MW is not Halo. I left Halo because of this and other questionable “tactics.” The gripe I have is that they are unbalanced and almost force you to use them just to keep up. Also, no one seems to aim any more. Every game i’m in people just hip-spam their SMG’s and akimbo “box guns.” I’m tired of getting 3 kills at then end of a match and still winning the “Most ADS Kills” award. It’s pretty pathetic.

You can argue that it’s “part of the game” and I will say that you are correct. But is it acceptable to spam a technique over and over in favor of all other techniques to boost your stats?

Re: Quick Scoping…
IMO, something, like QS’ing, becomes unbalanced when it gives an advantage against people who choose not to use it. If I could snipe in the traditional fashion and still keep up with QS’ers, then i’d have no issue with it. But when a “fad-tactic” gives an advantage over traditional game-play, it becomes an issue.

PS. QS’ing is the least of my worries in PC land. There are aim-botters, something called “wallers” and many other type of cheaters and hackers to deal with. The real issue if you ask me, is the lack of dedicated servers, and a real, honest willingness by the developers to seek out and remove cheaters.

But at the end of the day, i’m just a casual MW player. You’ll never see me prestige in MW3… I did that once in MW2. And i’ll continue to be satisfied with my 13-7 or 25-14 matches.

Flashbang each corner when approaching an enemy, EVEN IF YOU JUST THINK THERE’S SOMEONE AROUND THE CORNER.

Swing WIDE on turns, and check your corners.

Communicate with teammates. I repeat, COMMUNICATION WINS GAMES.

In the video above, 4a) the guy is playing domination. Typically, that’s just a bunch of people running around like shitheads. He isn’t showing off in any hardcore match, especially HC:TDM.

4b) It’s rare to see quick scoping in hardcore modes (where it’s more “realistic”).

So is it cheap? Maybe. Can you beat/avoid a it by playing SMART? Yes.
If you’re bothered by the mass amounts of people using this method: Either play hardcore modes, or learn to do it yourself.

I also love that I have my own tag now.

Oh, and that game you’re thinking “bro” — it’s called CounterStrike, and it is the most played shooter on the planet. The other one is called Arma II. And if you try playing that game, I would recommend you leave your “QS” at home. It serves no purpose there.

It’s like dual wielding pistols. Sure it looks great in a game, but any trained marksman will tell you that it serves no tactical advantage what-so-ever and actually reduces your ability to aim and hit your target with any speed or accuracy. And the reason is because when you hold to weapons, you have no way of stabilizing your shot. You can’t account for the recoil because you’re only using half of your available grip to maintain a clean shot. Last but not least, you can’t aim the same way with two guns as you can with one. You can’t be as accurate. Again, it looks cool, but you don’t train people to look cool, you train them to be effective. The sniper rifle in MW3 is not the effective way to use that rifle, even if it’s a cool feature in the game. It, in my opinion, cheapens the game, the rifle, and the gameplay. You’re more than welcome to disagree, but don’t tell me that it makes any sense to the purpose of the weapon. It’s a feature in a game that sacrifices authenticity for game sales and high speed kills. I, in no way, need to, nor am I required to, respect that.

In theory I am sure you are wrong. In a “real world situ” say a sniper has made a few ranged kills and decides to switch location, he picks up his rifle and runs to another spot but on the way encounters an enemy. Life or death situation. He THINKS he can take the enemy with a calculated quick/lucky shot by guessing where the sight will line up. He shoots, and its a OHK.

Well that’s exactly what QS is. Its about making a very quick, calculated decision with a splash of luck. It’s so rare to come up against an unplayable quick-scoper these days. Just pull out your gun and shoot him. Its not QS’ers fault you accuracy is terrible and you can’t hit a barn door with a lump of shit.

Of course with QuickDraw/SOH if you don’t kill the sniper quick enough, it’s only a matter of time before they zero in an kill you. Throw a stun/flash/smoke/decoy, get behind cover, move/flank, sprint USE YOUR HEAD.

Fucking whingers always digging at QS.

It’s a simple fact – you can’t do it but desperately want to.

You can’t really say that at 10 metres apart, your Assult Rifle that sends out 10 rounds per second is any worse off than a Bolt action, single shot rifle.

Or maybe you are just that shyte at MW.

If your accuracey is below 25% – go home and play something else. You’ll get slaughtered, regardless of what gun you use.

IMHO – campers are the scurge of teh game..not QS’ers
