I think "realism" and fair play in gaming is mutually exclusive. Like how every single WWII FPS has depowered the M1 Garand, due to balance. But in real life, that was the beauty of it, it fired a full powered round like a K98K, but it did it semiautomatically. It WAS a huge advantage, and it was quite unfair. So are night vision, smart munitions, and air strikes. That's why there can only be so much realism in games like BO. It can be realistic or it can be fair, but it can't be both.
