It takes skill but at the same time it's exploiting a glitch in a way. As Ax2-Y said, many times you're getting kills without even hitting the targets. And I'm not talking about hit marker lag, you're literally firing shots upto a couple feet off and getting the kill. I just think QS is unrealistic and lame, it's using a big long rifle to run and gun.
Sniping does take a lot of patience and skill to do right and the Modern Warfare series has never been great for it. The maps are too small and people want the fast paced arcade style gameplay. That's why so many people complained about that map in MW2 that was wide open with all the tall grass, bushes, and junkyard of tanks.... because a good sniper could be right out in the open but destroying everyone that's just blindly running around. Those are the same guys that bitch and moan calling you a camper when you're just being smart. Sniping shouldn't make you lose against a good team. A good sniper is a major advantage, but MW3 isn't setup to cater to sniping at all.
It's totally different sniping in BF3 by comparison and much more difficult because you have to factor in the bullet drop over the huge maps. Hardly anyone does it because they don't have the patience to do it well and be effective.
