TBH I think both points are essentially irelivant. No game I've played is realistic apart from a true flight sim.
KZ2 was designed deliberately as it is. The developers have said themselves they wanted you to feel heavier and slower, weighed down more than in other FPS. Not every game should be the same and while some approaches may be more popular that doesn't make them right, simply more popular with more people.
It's like all the complaints over LBP for the characters floating and having some weight. LBP wan't supposed to be Mario like in its controls - i.e. pixel sharp jumps, etc. It was supposed to feel like a less predictable Sackboy, something small that moved with a sense of gravity.
KZ2 is the same - designed different from a CoD style of feel.
Neither CoD nor KZ2 are truly realstic - but neither to me is any more right than the other. I suspect more people might find CoD feel easier to get used to than KZ2, I know I did, but that didn't mean the developers did anything wrong - they just went in a different, potentially more risky direction with the controls.
When controls are wrong is when the developer is trying for something and misses - like an FPS that wants to be like CoD but misses. Then they messed up. But here there was clearly no such attempt so it's pointless to argue one way or the other.
If you don't like controls for KZ2 then that's just life, a shame, but unless we want all games to be cookie cutter designs intending to repeat more of the same for an audience that frowns on anything different you should nonetheless be glad that developers do try different things, different feels, etc. Just be prepared it might mean its not to your liking.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
