On the other hand, when I use a Sleight of Hand Pro Intervention, I have to get reasonably close to the enemy team, most often, too close. I can not "scout snipe" without a silencer, because I stay away from my team, and do not want to reveal my location. When you are trying to quickscope, you are well in the range of sub machine guns, and assualt rifles. If you miss your shot you will probably die, unless you're really crafty behind cover. And another thing, when I'm playing my favorite game mode, Search and Destroy, and I die, the thing i hate most is seeing my last alive teammate trying to pull of quickscopes. He always ends up not completing the objective, or dying. And as mentioned above, I always get called a "hardscoper" by some immature 12 year old. I just simply tell him, "Hardscoping is the only way to effectively use a Sniper Rifle to it's complete potential, and is the only way that I recognize."
People QS because it adds a whole new element to gameplay and its exciting to watch thats why CoD is so poular on utube
