I disagree. CQC is not only the best and most efficient way to fight the Boss, it's also the most fun. Countering her moves and then slamming her is awesome.
Don't know man, snow camo + sniper is pretty darn efficient. I've never been able to effectively CQC the Boss and I don't blame myself. Throwing an unfamiliar complicated part of an otherwise simple mechanic in the final boss fight without ever introducing or teaching the player beforehand is - imo - simply bad game design.

Boss battles should be the ultimate test where you fight with the skills you have mastered throughout the course of the game. CQC countering was not one of them.
