*Prepares for the back lash*
Well i use both and I must say that it's taken me an awfully long time to get as good with an awp as i have on most standard maps.
I've used an AWP to stop a full on T rush out the front doors on Assault.
If you practice long enough you can jump around just as much with an awp as a scout and pop off very accutate shots when you land. It takes balls and patience to stand still when the needs must and pop off awp shots when the bullets start flying.
The advantage is that if you miss your HS then your still likely to kill the dude if you hit him in the body. Miss the HS with your scout and odds are that you're gonna be "worm food" before you get a second chance.
I must admit that ping and latency play a big part in whether I use a scout or an AWP. On higher ping servers (Read a load of the US servers) there is NO WAY i'd awp as by the time my pc registers the enemy i'm probably as good as dead
I love the way people always say the AWP is a noob weapon that takes no skill to use. Tell that to any good league team player and watch his reaction.
I suppose it boils down to what you are happier playing with. I've seen "Grayraven" on the Da and other Assault servers destroy terrorist teams with his Scout as its about the only weapon he ever uses.
However i've seen many a good awper almost single-handedly turn the whole course of a round or match with his skills.
AWP and P228 or Scout and Deagle now that IS the quandry
