Alright, many of you guys are like "woah, woah, woah, this isn't my Batman glass".
I actually have some evidence to support this. You may think I'm crazy, but I might just change your minds.
First of all, without even thinking about CoD4 in general, what do you think is better? Do you think that something that has a lot more luck involved takes more skill, or do you think that something that has less luck have more skill? The less luck being scoping. With scoping, you don't need luck. You see the enemy in your scope and you shoot. 0 luck involved. But no-scoping. Well you see an enemy and you look towards them, pull the trigger, and hope that your "technique" worked and hit him.
Now most no-scopers use the ACOG M40A3. Put the instant 1 hit kill with the full human body, that lowers the skill. Now when you're scoping, you don't aim for people's feet or hands, you aim for body or head. But when you're no-scoping, the game isn't aiming for you, so perhaps you get lucky and kill a guy by shooting his toe or his left pinky. Thus greatening the size of the target.
Scoping= torso+head
No-scoping= WHOLE BODY
I mean, the whole reason why sniping takes more skill than say, a P90, is because it's accuracy. The more accurate, the more you have to take your time and make sure you hit the more skill it takes. Just randomly firing towards the enemy from a distance only makes you lucky.
"Oh, but Fragdaddy, I practice with my bored friends on no-scoping. We think the G-shot works but we are just really so stupid to not realize that it's just a coincidence". Please, even if those techniques even worked, well first of all people would be getting no-scopes whenever they wanted and it wouldn't be such a great thing. But even if it did work, it would only barely heighten your chances of getting the random shot.
"Oh, but people like zzirGrizz always get the shot using their methods". Do they? Do they really? Or do they record all day, devoting their day to just randomly no-scoping? It doesn't take that long to get enough no-scopes to fill up a vid, without using any methods. Trust me.
I'm not saying no-scoping is bad, it's entertaining, believe me. But don't devote whole montages to it. It does get boring watching the same no-scope from a different angle on a different map.
You can show skill in scoping. I'm not saying you have to, but watch one of my vids. It shows quite a few ways to get nice-looking scopes. Balance your montages with no-scopes and scopes. It show that you're the best all-around sniper. I've had my time. I used to be able to snipe in any way, map or scope & rifle. But I've stopped playing a while ago. Even my last montage was just a collection of some of my best recorded snipes.
I'm just telling those who are still making montages, or just new to them, that it does matter what goes into your montages. And the reason zzirGrizz got so popular was (well first he was sponsored by a website that makes movies) because no-scoping was new at the time. No one new what to think about it. So, just come up with something new.
Please read most of it before you post. Just so you don't say anything that's already been contradicted in the post.
