Resolution increases the detail, greater detail means more stuff can be drawn in the distance, seeing farther into the distance is better for snipers, thus resolution is a significant improvement to the gameplay of Snipers. I didn't say framerate wasn't important.

This isn't a matter of whether something is sharp or blurry to you, that's only deals with the perception of resolution not its physical capabilities and limitations.

720p is less pixels than 1080p, it is physically impossible for 720p to show as much detail as 1080p. This is the reason for sharp/blurrieness, its the amount of detail that can be shown + the amount of detail you percieve. Detail is increased, detail improves gameplay, especially to the Sniper which is dependent on detail.

This is fact. 

This is why gamers don't compromise on framerate and resolution unless they have to, forget your opinions about the average person, its worthless here. 

Furthermore, because detail is increased Draw Distance is increased as well, an enemy to far to be seen in 720p reso still has a ways to go before 1080p can no longer draw him.

Again, this exagerates the impact of 720p to 1080p. Moving from 480p to 720p when it comes to seeing into the distance. If you can see an enemy in the distance of 1080p, you can see that same enemy in 720p.

The detail of 1080p over 720p has little impact on gameplay. That's my frustration with so many games sacrificing 60 fps for 1080p. Especially when it comes to games that don't require you to see far into the distance for sniping tiny enemies.

Many gamers compromise on resolution for frame rate. You're just wrong there.

Draw distance and resolution aren't the same thing. Draw distance and resolution are different settings. In 1080p, the object in the distance is just sharper.
