In MW CoD they are. In Black Ops CoD they actually take skill. The ADS speeds you can get to in MW CoDs are what break them; especially in MW itself with all the attachments you can put on. They also have no sway, unlike in Black Ops where they have tons. They’re annoying. Though I have yet to encounter a competent sniper user in MW. Last match I played there was a dude with an HDR that ran to the exact same spot to camp every single time they died. I died to them exactly once the entire match and every single time I killed them they were just aiming at the exact same spot away from me. They were really dumb. It was funny.
