hardscoping is using the sniper rifle the way its supposed to be used, zooming in tracking your target and taking them out. quickscopers started that word to try and make fun of the person using the sniper rifle the right way and owning them so they came up with that term to try and make themselves feel better. in all actuality the hardscoper is the one thats the better sniper because he is actually sniping, cheapscoping is just what it is a cheap exploit. a sniper rifle is for long shots picking people off from the other side of the map not that nonsense being a foot away from me and bam head shot! osk. so hardscoping is sniping so yes thats the way its supposed to be used.

Watching your video can't help but notice your pistol shots. Looks like another player with "trigger finger" or is it. Also I keep hearing this about running around with an 80 lb launcher on your back. Not that far fetched as if you knew the military the marine force recon runs around with an eighty pound pack on their back. Actually once it gets wet which it will when you perform beach landings like they do it gets up near 100 lbs. And then you run jump crawl whatever it is into combat with it. I also worked with a guy that at 65 yrs old still runs 10 miles a day with his 50 lb rucksack on his back. Granted he is insane shape for someone of his age.

I don't know about the US Marines since it's not my country.  But couldn't a similar argument be made with the GIGN in using shorter range weapons at much longer distances, since they appear to be the world's best elite armed forces group who specialise in marksmanship?

Edit: Overlooked the Recon bit.  Well, I don't know much about the requirements for Recon but I assume they're equivalent to Commando trained.  So, in that sense, they could carry that.  Still looks funny seeing someone run aroudn a map for 10+ minutes with a shotgun with an 80lb launcher on his back though.

game. set. match.

I geuss I'll bump this forum. I (personally) use snipers for both hardscoping and quickscoping. I just think that quicksoping is just a little extra challenge that a lot of people make a big deal of. The only guns that are completely unfair/nooby for quickscoping are the Barret 50 Cal and RSASS (Everyone know it's a bad*ss *sshole as RSASS is rightfully named). Also, I play MW3 on wii, even though I really want an XBOX, (I thankfully have a CCP) and playing wiimote + nunchuk is very hard to qs without ACOG scope. If you don't believe me, try it. Now about the matter of the javelin being an extremely heavy missle launcher, in my opinion, on MW3 it's (obviously) the heaviest launcher. It's not exactly real, but at the same time it is real. I mean, come on. Carrying an 80+ lbs. weapon with you with another extra pounds of explosives in it that blow up is sort of hard to imagine. CoD makes it seem like a piece of pie, running around with something like that. As CylonNumber6 said, it's jsut an arcade game.
