What counts as a "quickscope" kill? Like I guess you have to have a scope

Use marksman rifles with something like the VLK. It’s basically just a kill that happens if I’m not mistaken within a very short timeframe of aiming down sight with a given rifle. Not sure the actual parameters but it’s fast.

Even red dots count for quickscopes. I just did it with a kar in shoot the ship core.

Best out of 71?
I think it’s a kill within 1 second of aiming down the sight. I accidentally unlocked the Rytec grinding out the mk2 camos.

Can someone recommend a good Fal build? I'm thinking about running with with and HDR so close - medium range. Is building for hipfure wise?

No way dude. The games overwhelmingly portray the US military as incompetent, ineffective, easily deceived and corrupt. Even on the Price side of the story, 141's intel is nearly always late or wrong or tampered with. You're shown breaking international laws and committing acts of treason and this is before the team goes awol. It's not at all charitable.

Any tips for cheesing "two finishing moves in a minute"? Just run around dead silence and get lucky? What mode is best maybe?

edit: nm shipment is the answer. shipment is always the answer

They portray US Military leaders as ignorant/corrupt as a means to distance the common soldier (with whom the vast majority of their audience associates) from the decision making process so they can advance a plot in which they can show off just how good at war they are. It's not relevant that the military as a whole or it's leadership be portrayed as good or smart -- you aren't playing as the leadership.

The only story they tell is that no matter how dumb/oblivious/contrived/corrupt the 'major players' are, you, the Red Blooded, God Fearing living embodiment of Western ideals of grit and freedom, are better than the best the bad guys can throw at you. Shepherd would have gotten away with it if it weren't for those nosy kids the infallible western soldier. Everything they do is just window dressing on the same jingoistic plot. It's the plot from The Rock. Over and over.

The grenade launcher is such a trap. It’s such a worthless pile of crap.

And my brain is still trained from how good the war machine was in Blackout so I always pick it up and always regret it when it gets me killed.

Do you have to wait for the scope to scope in entirely then shoot? Or shoot while it's scoping? Need 3 in a minute and i think doing zero?

I'm really glad hardcore is back. Never liked my COD in any other mode - hardcore truly makes every gun viable and interesting. Also less killstreak crap.

It's odd that CoD is actually good after 10 years of bullshit releases.

Does the stuff I unlock and level up on the Xbox one version carry over if I play war zone on the Pc? It seems like it does because it’s one unified account but I’m not 100% sure

I knew people were saying the FAL was good but holy gently caress, its an absolute monster even in core. I built a spam build of an FAL and akimbo M19's and went 117-44 on shipment. Only issue with the build is that it cramps my hands after a little while from mashing the triggers so much.

Edit: rolled with a FAL squad and got the entire enemy team to quit. This has to get nerfed so enjoy it while it lasts.

Yeah the FAL is comically OP right now. I think the only thing keeping it from being the thing literally everyone is using is how much people don't like semi auto in this game.

It's within a second of scoping. In other words, it's pretty generous. As long as you're not camping, chances are you'll get it.

That is quite literally the point of Price dropping an EMP. If you can't see that, there's no discussion to be had here.
