'''No-scoping''' is the act of shooting an enemy with a Scoped weapon, but without using your scope. Learning to no-scope is a definite must for advanced players. It will indeed save you many times when a charging enemy must be quickly neutralized when taking the time to go to the scope screen will waste valuable seconds and likely result in your death. | '''No-scoping''' is the act of shooting an enemy with a Scoped [[weapon]], but without using your scope.

When an enemy is approaching you with a [[Battle Rifle]] or [[Carbine]], don't waste time trying to scope. Just keep your cool and remember that you only need one shot, while they need a minimum of 4 rounds to kill you. Just line your [[Reticle]] at head level, and if possible, strafe left or right to line up the shot and fire. | When an enemy is approaching you with a [[Battle Rifle]] or [[Carbine]], don't waste time trying to scope.

That is the most common situation to use no-scoping. And since one of the best ways to counter a sniper is with the Battle Rifle, well it's a pretty common situation to find yourself in. | That is the most common situation to use no-scoping.

Some say that since sniper ammunition is very rare in the Halo games, each sniper bullet is extremely valuable. Therefore, instead of wasting ammo on a charging enemy by using the No-scoping tactic, it would be better to switch to a Battle Rifle or any other weapon that can kill the threat without wasting sniper ammo. | Some say that since [[sniper]] ammunition is very rare in the Halo games, each sniper bullet is extremely valuable.

However, while sniper ammo is pretty valuable, you want to keep the other team from getting your sniper. If you have to spend 2-3 shots keeping yourself alive, it's often worth it in the long run if you don't let the other team kill you and take your sniper ammo. The best players will never get into this situation as they won't allow the other team to get near them. Even if the other team spawns near you, you should just move to a better location. | However, while sniper ammo is pretty valuable, you want to keep the other team from getting your sniper.
