@SkullRod: Imo, quick-scoping takes a certain amount of skill, since you need to be good at following your target. No-scoping, however, is cheap, since you're basically using your Sniper Rifle like a shotgun and praying that the randomized inaccuracy lets you land in a hit.

For example: A guy running around with the Intervention and quick-scoping enemies (very common) needs to know how to do it properly, otherwise they'll be standing for about half a second without any means of defending themselves (aside from the knife). A guy running around with the Barrett .50 cal who spams his entire magazine in your general direction and finally manages to land in a OHK shot does not use any kind of skill, rather they're relying on the weapon's high damage, large magazine and insanely fast firing rate.
