What is quickscope ? */troll*

Infiltrators aren't meant to be basic good'ol snipers. The contributor above made a great overview, but I'd like to add something.

You can't quickscope, that's a fact. Infiltrators aren't meant to go on the front line with bolt action long range rifles. It takes a good deal to learn the Infiltrator's ins and outs. Choosing your target, recognition... The sniper here is a Squad Support role. You take out the enemies Supporters, namely Engineers, Medics and other Infiltrators trying to pick off your Supporters and yourself. Don't expect a K/D of 45 with a Sniper rifle thanks to a "helping hand", namely auto-scope. Lone-wolf long-range Infiltrators do help a bit, but this tiny bit is most often irrelevant in an unorganized zerg.

Side note : auto-scope was created to let less skilled players do headshots by helping at aiming the head on console games, using gamepad controllers. This is also a sign that the computer and a mouse are best suited for FPS games.
