Here is the bottom line. You cannot snipe without the ability to quickscope. Point being that in BO however TA managed to make it more difficult to QS people still found a way to do it and the only people that really suffered were the genuine snipers.
In COD4, QS was a skill. It was literally possible to snipe quickly provided that you bring up your scope just enough to see the enemy in your crosshairs, held your breath, and pulled the trigger. All in quick succession. Hence the term was developed quick-scope.
In MW2, QS was nothing more than an exploit. SoH Pro allowed for a broken game mechanic in which you didnt even have to bring up your scope to fire a bullet like a laser beam at an enemy. Because it was so easy to pull off, every Tom, Dick and Harry that felt like taking an hour to practice finding the sweet spot of just when that happened thought they were all bada$$. It became a joke.
Now we have terms like "hard-scope", which is just dumb. Like the ability to snipe has somehow become unimpressive if it is not done as an exploit. I have always been extremely successful sniping and here is shameless self promotion to prove it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3S1cJh8y-w
In BO, they did whatever they did and sniping feels more like dumb luck than anything else. Point being, you cannot remove the ability to really QS without making real snipers pay for it. So like or hate and I do hate what it has become, it has to be in the game for the sake of the many out there than need sniper rifles to be accurate and hit detection to be on point.
