I second that layzie. CoD is NOT the most realistic gaming experience for lovers of war games that are shooters. This is simply a shooter game with a background of war. Not even a REAL war, its now based on stuff that has never and probably will never happen. As for the 'scuff' jumping as you call it, as well as drop shots, I get annoyed as well, but once I started to try to use it to MY advantage as well, it changed my life! Adds a completely new dynamic to a firefight. Try not to think in terms of realism, but more as a control system. Just another way to get the job done!
