Again I agree, but there is a strive for greater realism which the fuzzy  
sticks naturally provide.

Some have - Deus Ex, Oblivion (though not technically an FPS) Resistance:  
Fall of Man, System Shock. All these feature either ammo you have to pick  
up, limited weaponry, degrading weapons, knock-back, targeted body parts,  
non-instantaneuous health etc. Admittedly I've not seen one single game  
that features all these reality points; I wonder what Call of Duty 4 is  
like on that score?
