Does Quickscoping,Noscoping and Tomahawking take any skill in COD?

In my Opinion, COD takes no skill. You can win a game solo. COD is about aim assist, locking on to people and about who pulls the trigger first. But In my opinion the only thing in COD, Quickscoping, No scoping and tomahawking seems to be quite skillfull. There are very skillful people on COD who can quickscope effectively and dont miss. I personally suck at quickscoping because I'm not good. I also think 360 quickscopes require alot of skill and need alot of practise. Now, is quickscoping skill or luck? Talk about it in this thread and I will put up a poll.

those quickscope montages you see on youtube well go look at the score they ended up having while creating those montages they probably went 5-20.

It does not take skill its all luck with all 3 with an estimated time of where the other team is

no scoping rely's on a lot of luck to be bluntly honest, i liked doing it in CoD 4 but it dont feel the same in later games.

Quickscoping is taking advantage of the auto aim for a split second to snap onto an enemy. There is no quick scoping on the PC because there is no auto aim. I really don't think that quickscoping takes much skill as it just takes a bit of practice to get used to the timing. Once you got that down, you're golden. Noscoping is way to based upon luck in pretty much any game. Each game handles it different too. As for tomahawking, it's an instant knife kill at a distance. Really not much skill there.

Overall CoD doesn't take much skill which is why it is so accessable.

There's also arc and delay - it's not just an instant knife kill.

QS is the bane of my life, i remember a guy on BC2 forums at launch complaining that it was crap because he couldnt QS and always managedto end up on a loosing team :P

Tomahawking does take a degree of skill though i will admit that, the tomahawk doesnt react on CoD like a CoD bullet instead acts like a projectile you need to aim in front of them and sometimes it can be split second stuff to get kills xD..

They are about as skillful as ghost camping with a silenced galil and sleight of hand pro.Grawse

real ghost players have an AK and sleight of hand, running and gunning :P trust me UAV is up and they cant see you its hillarious some kids think you hack then they eventually remember ghost hides you xD.

I've never had that, ever. You sure you're not playing with a controller?

If there was auto-aim, you would really notice it with a mouse. There has been no backlash from the community so it's not there.

Strange, haven't experinced auto-aim either on the PC version of Black ops. Very strange hitboxes yes, but not auto-aim.

Yeah the hitboxes are all over the place. That started with WaW and has continued.

Quickscoping takes skill to learn as I certainly can't do it, but once you've got the method down its seems to a skill-less mode of play. I see people online on MW2 who can nail quickscope after quickscope like its nothing, because they have the method down after so many years of implementing it into their playstyle.

Tomahawking I completely disagree with being skill-less. You never see anybody nailing tomahawk after tomahawk. To nail one you have to account for both the extreme drop at a distance and the time it takes to actually hit your enemy after its left your hands. Its quite difficult and quite satisfying, and one of my favorite weapons online as I have some semblance of skill with it and its still far from as effective as people who can quickscope. I have near 1600 tomahawk kills in Black Ops, and the act of tomahawking certainly hasn't become much easier over my time played, its still as difficult as ever to judge both the drop and where your target is going to be. People who say it takes no skill are CoD haters plain and simple.

The invisible box around the model of the character. Google it and you will see loads of examples and illustrations.

Quickscoping and tomahawking take skill, no-scoping takes luck.Messiahbolical-

I rather just hardscope in games. I don't likeCOD so I have no clue how Tomahawk works.

Most quickscopes I do are by accident.
