Yes, marginally, because by "used to the controls", I assume you mean handling weapons properly. No one should be "noobstomped" (what a dumbass word) because they have a firm grasp of reality and it doesn't occur to them that something that makes no sense would be incredibly effective.
Engaging gunplay is great! However, there's a blurry line there where one mans engaging gunplay will be someone elses cheap gimmick. My rule of thumb is: If I were actually in the game, would I be able to do it successfully? Popping out of cover by sidestepping for just a split second and having your sights dead on is unrealistic and stupid. It defies logical sense. The same goes for shooting while jumping or running. If it were real life, you'd be spraying lead all over the damn place.

The only things that make no sense are the ones you are saying. If a game is built in a way that allows certain things, those things are part of the game's ruleset and should/must be used in order to be the best player you can possibly be. When things are considered an exploit devs patch the game and remove them or change them.
Also, thinking about what you should or should not be able to do in a game comparing it to reality is simply an atrocious thing for me to even read. Reality =/= Video games. Video games have their own rules, knowing the rules and possibilities is part of the skill involved into playing, it is a good and skilled player
duty to know them and do everything the games allow in order to best his enemies.
When people draw silly lines and start whining "waah this shouldn't be possible it's a glitch it's an exploit bla bla bla" the real reason behind it is that they aren't able to do it as well as the guy who's owning them, simple fact.
Again, check the video Fek posted, with that cs guy jumping all over the place against those absolutely clueless whiners who choose to simply complain about it rather than actually DO something about it. Reality is they probably wouldn't have even known where to start/what to do to counter him. Pathetic.
