snipers are the best 
First of all, CoD4 1.7 has a limit on firing speed for all weapons. No matter how fast you input fire, you can't shoot a baret clip in under a second without hacks. Secondly, I think moment was exagerating. Third, where did you get that stat for headshots on quickscopes, and who are you talking about? If I get a headshot its almost always unintentional, unless the persons head is the only thing shootable for any number of reasons, or I am specifically going for headshots only (which is like never).
Snipers in cod4 unmodded play are, and have always been, a matter of fun for me. In terms of their usefulness..... if someone spent as much time practicing with a g3 or even an ak47 as they did with a sniper, they would be way more effective. I am assuming were talking HC mode. I don't know about softcore.
Snipers outside of promod are next to useless in close quarters when you are playing someone of equal skill. Unless you are spraying a semit auto sniper, in which case, they are somewhat less useless. The pistol is a much more effective option. While running around like a tard scoping people in close quarters can be fun, it is certainly not the wisest strategy in a serious match. Steady aim can make the no scope more likely, and will decrease the time it takes to get ful accuracy out of a scope, but the penetration of a sniper rifle is what i think is the biggest asset. One shot kill through a wall. Sacrificing that to be able to get no scopes and jumping scopes more often is a lil nooby. If i was a team captain, i wouldn't want my sniper running in against ak74's, using steady aim so he could pull off some kills sometimes.
Inside promod, snipers are overpowered and altered so people could get cool looking killcams (which look dumb as hell to the person getting killed by the way). Promod in general is a bigass comparison of CoD4 dicksize's using unnecessary lingo ingame and ridiculous movement habits (switching weapons twice all the time... why do this? its stupid? you know how many people ive seen do this all the time only to be shat all over by me or someone else?)
ALso keep in mind that outside promod there is significant sway on teh scope. If you bring up your scope multiple times without moving your mouse, you will notice a significant amount of variance in where the crosshairs appear each time. The scope does not resolve to teh same place every time until 1 or 2 seconds after you hold your breath, meaning quickscopes outside of promod involve a certain amount of chance on their hitting (depending on whether you take time to adjust your aim after the sights come up).
So all in all, snipers are fun. They are not the most useful. The most useful thing is a really good player with any weapon (except shotties or the scorpion). QS is a lil bit nobby, unless you are actually aiming, in which case its not so quickscopey.
And they all lived happily ever after, the end.
EDIT: Oh yea. There are times to camp. There are times to move. Moving in one way or another is more useful. It is pretty useless to say youre going to "cover somebody" in cod4 with a sniper. Basically, if you are camping with a sniper while your team is rushing, you're probably screwing the rest of the team over with your uselessness. I am only speaking from experience, so I could be full of shit.

its ok, he doest move anyway. you can click your finger 8 times in a second? one finger? thats freakish, i think maybe your knowledge of what a second is is a little off.
Yea don't be pressed to play a certain way just because others tell you to just do what works for you.....but don't spawn camp lol
