All right, about the only one I know is G-shotting. It involves moving side to side until your crosshairs stop, and then firing the gun. It is done most famously by zzirGrizz, a XBox 360 player. What strategies do you know?

If I say I hit the scope button quickly before firing, will you call that noscoping?

1) Find an enemy
2) Get him within ure crosshairs
3) Press r1 or wotever ure fire button is.
4) Prey
5) Most of the time it doesnt work for me

So die
6) Give up no scoping cause there doesnt seem to be a technique to do it
Seriously ive tried the 'G-Shot' and for me it doesnt work....

thats a quickshot i think, and i no-scope a lot so hmm..
holding B and just as you go prone your crosshairs go smaller and you stand up quickly and shot
tapping Y twice very fast and then shooting
moving side to side and shooting yeh
steady aim

I respect no-scopers for trying something new. But I stick to what I know. Much easier for me to travel with my suppressed 1911 out and react with that, then have to try and get lucky by no-scoping a guy. I try to no-scope when I play against my girlfriend one on one though, so, any techniques you guys can post would be cool.
And, Tex, I miss you in the thread about zzirGrizz.

the only time I do a "no scope" is when the enemy is right in front of me, usually in close quarters battles when someone breaches my position and I have no time to whip out a pistol.
My "no scopes" are usually followed by a quick knife hit just in case.

I've no scoped a few people. Two or three have not been that close to me either, and i have just shot out of shock of them coming out of the doorway and it has killed them.

No scoping is pointless. If you are going to try and master some odd technique that may or may not be at all effective you should just take the time and do what all great snipers do..... Learn to shoot close targets with the scope up. I have no problem shooting a guy a few feet in front of me in the face with a scoped sniper rifle. I play like this... if they're close enough to where I cant scope... they're close enough to knife. Works quite well. If you want to become great at sniping all you need is aim, use a sniper rifle on every map... not just ones you're comfortable on, all of them. Thats how I got good at it.
I dont see why people try and emulate this monatges of no scope kills... it means nothing i could put together a montage of me getting 3 shot kills with the 50 cal 100 times but what does that mean? Nothing. If someone wants to show me a full length match video of a guy getting a at least 5-1 k/d ratio no scoping maybe I'll start paying attention.

For noscoping I would have two tips.
1. When you see an enemy you want to no-scope..dont move. Just swivel your gun towards him and fire. If you move your crosshairs will expand.
2. STEADY AIM. Essential for noscoping. But I wouldn't choose it because you shouldn't plan on no-scoping.

no scoping doesnt take any skill in this game. since its random. ive walked up to people standing still, stood a good 5 feet from them, and fired 3 times with an m40 and it didnt do anything. i also have taken pot shots with my Barrett at people 100 feet or so off and hit them.
deagle is your best bet.

I don't know what kind of people you play but if I'm 10 feet away from someone and we both see each other, by the time I pull of and look into the scope, I've already respawned.

Tried no scoping an entire match on creek. Killed none doing it and died 35 times. I was just running like crazy firing at the closest thing to me. Then I gave up and decided to use my shotty. Just as worthless on that map. I also tried it on overgrown once and failed horribly. I saw a sniper laying on the ground in front of me, walked up behind him pointed the rifle at his head two feet away and missed by a foot. I don't think he knew what happened because he just stirred alittle after that so I knifed him in the back.

That's because you aren't using steady aim. The most essential perk to no-scoping.

Ok first, to straighten things out, gshot DOESNT work. He posted that up so we could think it worked and throw us off.
Now what really works, (this is the most effective noscope tactic) is when at the same time you shoot you strafe left. This is the most effective stratagy.
Also one that works well with a stationary target is when you tap triangle or Y twice and shoot.

I find i have a better chance of killing them with my pistol, so no-scoping is really pointless. Now don't get me wrong, ill do it sometimes for funsies but besides that it is too inconsistent. Also i havent met someone who can kill me with a sniper against my pistol.

Pretty sure it does since I can do it from 50 yards consistently. Along with two other friends who took the time to learn how to do it well. Its not luck, its skill. The people who say its not real are just the people who aren't disciplined enough to learn how to do it correctly and after 10 tries just gave up.

"G shot" is a fancy name for "strafe and shoot". Strafing has no effect in making the bullet go straighter.

the gshot thing sounds like halo no scoping. as for CoD a semi auto rifle, i recommend the M21 or barrett, since i hate the dragunov, will let you get some spray and pray no scopes in. ive seen people run around and pull out crazy no scopes, but alot of the time me or them were really laggy.

I would recommend against that. You have better chances of hitting your target with a more accurate rifle, the M40, than with the M21. Sure you can shoot faster but at the expense of accuracy. Look at no-scope montages and I guarantee you will almost always see the person using an M40.
ATL Jones Bro3

Semi auto rifles are less likley to hit than a bolt action.
M40 is the ideal choice.

heres something to remembe about montages, especially no scope ones. most of the time the person was running around just going for no scopes. and thats their luckiest moments. just because someone jumped in the air and got a no scope doesnt mean they can reliably do that. 3 out of 4 times they probably got owned by the person they were trying to no scope, or they had to knife that person.
also, i used an m21 with steady aim and stopping power on vacant today and went 22 and 10. ive also heard sniping is fairly different and easier on pc then xbox, so that might be park of it.

But see, it probably took you 3 or 4 shots to down someone. 2 missed shots and 2 shots that hit the target, but because of the M21's multipliers, took 2 shots to kill someone. I'd take my 1-shot killer over the M21.

Does distance affext the damage u do when u snipe some1. Like does it hurt the enemy more from close or far or equal. I've no scoped about 7 times in a row today and 3 of dem were headshots. It was fun and I did it witout the acog using the m40

Jul 23 2008, 11:38 PM
ok i only read the first page because im lazy but i dont think anyone said this tactic yet
I think im a pretty decent no scoper i can go positive k/d ratio at least so heres my 2 cents
i use m40 acog
sp
sa
now the tactic that works best for me is stand still aim at the target and just as you shoot walk side ways backwards forwards wherever, just move it seems to work for me

no scoping takes a lot of skill, i get some once in a while n im like whoa dayum , but i usually quick scope and no scope like 10-20 ft. away on domination, im still learning tho
g-shot
shot then prone , when crosshairs get smaller shoot again if u missed

I go purely for 'feel'
Just aim to roughly what feels right, dont even really look at crosshairs (conciouly anyway).
Im pretty good/lucky and doin no-scope only can get 10+ kills a game.
If anyone wud like to show me how to be better id appreciate it

no scoping/g-shots are not fake. i learnt them yesterday and already am quite good at it. i use the strafe then wait for your crosshairs to steady then shoot, but that isnt quick enough sometimes so i use the quickly tap LT then shoot for quick shots. i no scoped a guy on countdown from the other side of the map using the strafe option. i learnt from this video, which kind of shows that it is
not down to luck

You can somewhat develop noscope skills, but it mostly has to do with setting yourself up for them (M40/Acog/SP/SA) and strafing as close as you can then firing.
