I shouldn't have to use a perk for someone using game external device and a dumb perk to gain a large and unfair advantage against me. It's dumb. It is every bit as big if a deal as I'm making it out to be. I never said I get destroyed by people using it, just that it's dumb, cheating, and a lame way to gain a huge advantage, that shouldn't exist.
Of course CoD is about gunfights. It's a shooter. The number of bullets it takes to kill is irrelevant. Most of my engagements are gunfights. Trade off kills? The only game I can remember having trade-off gunfight kills in is Black Ops 3, and only very rarely, and I've been playing online since CoD 4. The reasonings some people come up with here astound me. I have no idea how that's even a question. Map design and an unlimited sprint/movement system is what fucks up spawns. I constantly have gunfights with people.
It's not that big of an advantage though. All perks give you some sort of advantage, that's the whole point of them. I have headphones and I've used the perk. It's only useful on a handful of maps, and it only really gives you an advantage against players that go solo run & gun. There are other perk combos that give you a bigger advantage, that's why I stopped using it.
A lot of people use headphones nowadays, if the perk was as OP as you're making it out to be, I think I'd be seeing a lot more people using it.
I'd get trade off kills every match in every cod since MW2. I barely played Ghosts because it was shit, and I don't remember too many in AW but the ttk was extremely short.
COD is a shooter, but it's a twitch shooter. It's basically whoever pulls the trigger first is going to get the kill in less than 1 second, and yes, the # of bullets it takes to kill matters. When the average "gunfight" last less than 1 second, I don't really consider that a gunfight. When most people think of COD, they're not thinking about the epic gunfights, because they almost never happen.
