No-scoping

No-scoping is the act of shooting an enemy with a Scoped weapon but without using your scope. Learning to no scope is a definite must. It will indeed save your ass many times as a charging enemy must be quickly neturalized and taking the time to go to the scope screen will waste valuable seconds and get you killed.

Walkthrough

As with most Advanced skills practise is essitial to master the skill. So if you don't get it right away don't give up just keep on trying.

When an enemy is approaching you with a Battle Rifle or Carbine, don't waste time trying to scope. Just keep your cool and remember that you only need one shot, while they need a minimum of 4 rounds to kill you. Just line your Reticle at head level, and if possible, use your strafe left or right to line up the shot and fire.

That is the most common situation to use no-scoping. And since one of the best ways to counter a sniper is with the Battle Rifle, well it's a pretty common situation to find yourself in.

Arguements against Noscoping

Some say that sniper Ammunition is very rare in the Halo games and so each sniper bullet is extremely valuable. Therefore instead of wasting ammo on a charging enemy by using the Noscoping tactic it would be better to switch to a Battle Rifle or any other weapon that can kill the threat without wasting sniper ammo.

However, while sniper ammo is pretty valuable, especially if you keep the other team from getting your sniper. If you have spend 2-3 shots keeping yourself alive, it's worth it in the long run if you don't let the other team kill you and take sniper ammo. The best players will never get into this situation as they won't let allow the other team to get near him. Even if the other team spawn near you, just move to a better location.

It's important to note that until you've mastered Noscoping just use another weapon.

Training

Just for practice i recomend going into a No Scoping game at least once everytime u get on, it helps a ton. Some Advice: Don't just keep aiming for their head unless u are completely undercontrol in an easy situation, so when u are panicked swipe. Also try to shoot them once then melee.

I sometimes no-scope people by jumping. Instead of taking the time to line up the shoot on their head, I will get it to the center of their body and jump. I'll pull the tigger as it pass their head on the way up or on the way down. It's allmost like face painting but with no auto. It works most of the time. As long as they don't move. But I only use this tech. on noobs or less then steallar players. No-scope can be easy if done on a regular basic. I suggest playing other FPS too, I have seen some shooters that have a terget that size for all the guns. Games like Counter-strike have none at all, for their un-scoped Snipes. So what I 'am trying to say is that I have notice that I play better after playing other

Hints

I tend to wield the a Sniping rifle (if I have one) when I run into narrow corridors. It's surprisinglt easy to noscope then. This is especially true for the Shotty tunnels on Sanctuary. You risk running into someone with Shotty there (no kidding). People with shotty tend to run straight at you, making them easy targets for a noscope.

I suck at this, but i've found that when i do manage a no scope kill it's by letting the opponent walk (or run) into my reticule. However i'm not so good at the timing bit. Another time is if they jump, this is stuipid as it's very easy to snipe/no scope someone who jumps especially if they are jumping at you

I usually find that about 90% of my no-scopes are one hit then a melee to finish it, i'd say that that is the best way to do it since you use only one shot and stil get the kill. Its easy and doesnt waste ammo.

Every time you no-scope you should follow up with a beatdown, so even if you skim the enemy with your no-scope you only have to hit him to finish him off instead of wasting another shot.
