Dolphin diving/bunny hopping is unrealistic but then again, so is dying then coming back to life in 10 seconds.
So lets try and get that changed shall we?
The real problem is in the amount of abuse that occurs from this stuff - not from those are pissed about the abuse.
It comes down to people using the game mechanics in ways that they weren't intended for in the first place. When enough of these "creative game mechanic uses" become rampant, it starts to affect the game play in ways which were never originally planned for. So this stuff starts becoming the norm and the game begins resembling something the creaters never envisioned.
I consider dropping jeeps and trucks on enemy artillery pretty much the same thing. Sure, it's in the game and therefore people are going to do it for as long as they are allowed to. It's LAME, and I would never do such a thing, but still there are those who think it's their "right" to do it and get pissed when the ability to do it is taken away.
It all boils down to people only caring about winning/losing/getting points, rather than just enjoying playing the game as a modern warfare game.
If you don't have any desire to play a realistic game, then hop down the street like a bunny. If you are like me (and I think many people are), then you like to pretend you are in a real battle - with all the sights and sounds and suspense to go with it. If you are like that then you will run for cover instead of hop up and down like a friggin dork.
