I'm just glad people are finally calling it Distance Lock like it was intended.Now if people will start saying Shifty Hack Shot insteasd of Shift hack Shot.
It was a double lock, that's how people did it for a while before realizing that you didn't have to lock to get the same effect.
Either way, this tutorial doesn't show the point of using a d-lock... and it doesn't lower your reload time.
I know people would "relock" or 'double lock,' but they didn't know why it worked, didn't know the shot looked different, and I'm pretty sure they thought it was just part of the 'angling" process. D-lock as we came to know it in 2006 stood for distance lock. And it really is about distance.
Everything in Snipers is about distance, I've thought that forever. "Distance Lock" doesn't say anything.
The term "distance lock" doesn't say anything because a coulple of teenagers thought up the term, so it probably isn't the best conceived jargon. That doesn't change the fact that the first two people who learned how to harness and replicate the shot, learned how it was different, and learned the distinctive way it looked named the technique "distance" lock. I'm not saying it's the best name, but that's nonetheless the name it was given when it was discovered as a separate technique.
I know I really shouldn't care, since I've also conformed to new terms that replaced outdated terms. Fade locks, turning (walkstancing as it's now known), fog shot, and fog rape/vision rape have all gone the way of the dinosaurs, but people calling d-lock "double lock" seems more out of error than evolution to me. I have to say though, it was really tough for me to let go of fog shot. It's a much better term.
