No-scoping

== Arguments against no-scoping ==

Since ammunition for sniper weapons tends to be very rare in the ''Halo'' games, each Sniper Rifle bullet is extremely valuable. Those who disapprove of no-scoping tend to argue that instead of wasting [[ammo]] on a charging enemy by using the no-scoping tactic, it would be better to switch to another weapon that can kill the threat, without wasting the "ever-so-precious" sniper ammo.

However, while sniper ammunition is pretty valuable, a sniper typically wants to keep the other team from getting their Rifle. If a sniper has to spend two or three shots keeping themselves alive, then so be it, as long as the other team does not take the sniper's rifle. It should be noted, though, that the best snipers will often never get into this situation, as they won't allow the other team to get anywhere near them. Even if the other team spawns near them, they just move and migrate to a better location.

Many players on [[Xbox Live]] view this tactic with hate. They consider it a cheap shot, not only at point-blank range, but also at mid-range as well. It has been known to be as dishonorable as the [[Noob Combo]].
