Just wondering because every MW3 quickscope video I have seen so far have all been with the L118A

Wait, so when you ask you say about people using the bolt action L11, everyone gives you a response, then you say more people use semi-autos... wut.Eek

Expect the unexpected!
On MW3 i like to use the L118A but i can also use the MSR or AS50, i loved the AS50 cause one game ran out of ammo so i picked the first gun i found it was that, and went on a steak with QS on it, i put it on my class then cant use it for some reason :(

Where did I say more people are using semi-autos? I said in MW2 a lot of people used semi-autos but not in MW3. So my question was, why don't more people use semi-autos in MW3 anymore. If I did say that more people use semi-autos, quote me.

I've actually never tried a semi auto on MW3 because most people used bolt action and I thought there was reasoning behind this. But I'll try one when I get home

I find that the bolt action kills them in one shot more often then others.

Looks better for videos.
Slightly more skill involved since you pretty much have to hit the first shot.
And I think that's all.

I do like hearing the bolt getting pulled back though and feel more powerful behind a bolt action also. It just seems like it would be easier to use a semi auto so I was wondering why people didn't


More people used the Intervention over the .50cal, anyone who used the .50cal generally didn't make videos and just wanted to look better to their friends in the game since it's more accurate than the Intervention and they can spray close range.

I saw more people on MW2 using the UMP complaining about quickscopers as they always got killed by them, than snipers complaining about being killed by people using UMP's. This obviously says the majority of quickscopers got positive k/d in games.
