Yes, that's because in the ranges that you'd use an SMG (close range) the recoil increase is insufficient to sway you off target, therefore you trade range for firepower. In BO you actually had to burst fire SMGs at longer ranges, like I did with my Uzi. In fact, I'd go as far to say that BO felt better weapon-wise (even the low recoil weapons like the Enfield still had to take it easy at the long ranges) compared to MW2 and maybe even MW3.
