^ No one would deny being more accurate aiming down the sites, but do you honestly think that a bullet would come out of a gun more randomly when hipfiring compared to aiming down the sight?

"I can recall many times where I was killed while trying to quickscope" This is a major problem; I wouldn't want some douche running around like an ass trying to quickscope people when lining up a shot and actually getting a kill would work. Quickscoping made 'snipers' more aggressive, but they still didn't play the objective, and are therefore useless (constant deaths with a lack of kills is an even bigger problem in non-objective based game modes).

"When I started playing I thought that snipers would be insanely cheap" Snipers ARE insanely cheap. In Infinity Wards games a hit to the main mass (stomach and above) with stopping power was sufficient for a one hit kill. Really? Couple that with aim assist and the fact that bullets go perfectly straight, and hit what you're aiming at instantly. When you can set up these circumstances in a split second- faster than a person could even aim down their sights with an MP5k, you have a situation that gives sniper rifles power where they should have none.

My personal idea was this: make bullets lose accuracy (slightly veer off course) with range even when aiming down the sights: Snipers: permanently accurate Assault Rifles: Lose accuracy during long range LMGs: Lose accuracy in long range SMGs: Lose accuracy in late mid range Pistols: Lose accuracy in mid range Shotguns: same as Black Ops (perhaps have them so they have infinite range like every other gun but their damage drops off)

I'll get so much hate for this suggestion I bet- people love their easy-mode, yet will whine when they get killed from across the map with an SMG

One final comment; realism adds to a game; obviously you don't want it to be perfectly realistic, but some of the things that are outrageous like quickscoping are just lame. At least you need a perk (and therefore, you've been given a special ability) to jump off tall buildings and survive.
