'''No-scoping''' is the act of shooting an enemy with a scoped [[weapon]], but without using your [[Scope|scope]]. The term typically applies to scope-less shots pulled off with a [[Sniper Rifle]] or [[Beam Rifle]]; less often, it may refer to scope-less [[Headshots|headshots]] performed with a [[Spartan Laser]], [[Carbine]], or [[Battle Rifle]].

Learning to no-scope is a definite must for advanced players. In situations where a charging enemy must be quickly neutralized, switching weapons or zooming in would waste valuable seconds and likely result in the sniper's death. No-scoping is a valuable skill to possess in a repertoire, especially when armed primarily with a sniper-only weapon.
