well using an AWP has its pros and cons.
Pros: Great accuracy, if you have used one before.
Great long range shots.
Good blowback.
Dependable in a high location spot (for example the roof)
Zombies take great and heavy damage from being hit
Cons: Shoots very slow
Not much of a good vision on seeing other zombies
Focuses on one specific target
Sooo, pretty much i summed it up unless someone else would like to add some more details which i happily take into consideration :) |

Quote: Well, too bad they made the Scout way inaccurate now.
I used to be able to out Scout AWPers but now they made it impossible to do. Way to go Valve!!!
Anyway...
AWP takes skill, no doubt about it. Ask Bullet, he's learning to use it now. He hated it before, now he loves it.
I think its easy to take an awp out with a scout, you can take 2 shots before the awp can reload his 2nd bullet.
its fun tryin to beat an awp with a rifle but its not fun when around every corner theres an awp |

People have the right to choose what gun they purchase, you just have to deal with it.
To deal with AWPers, I tend to use the Scout, and I'm become quite proficient with it. I'm able to easily deal with (decent) AWPers and even some of the more skilled AWPers. However, you'll usually find me pulling ridiculous, cross-map headshots with the AK47, it's become my weapon of choice for dealing with just about anything.
I like to think of AWPers as just another person to deal with, not different from the people using other guns. |

My favorite thing to do is knife AWPers....of course I love to knife anyone I can. I will give up 3 easy kills for a chance to knife ya. Unless it is a specifically designed AWP map, an AK or a M4 is a better bet IMO. They get one chance with the AWP. If they miss, they are screwed. |

I think one awp per team is the perfect solution. Taking it out entirely will fustrate many and it does take some skill to be decent with it. However, when one team is winning over and over again and 4 out of 8 people have an awp, it gets outrageous and makes the other team sit in spawn. |

Ive been reading the forum replys and in my opinion the AWP should stay its been in the game since the start and tbh i cant see it going.I know its annoying when everybody's using them and you cant seem to get out of spawn without getting shot by one but all you have to do is change your tacktics and the gun you are using. We shouldnt be worring about people who use awp's we should be focusing on people who are pathetic enough to cheat.

I dont mind really, I like to think I'm relatively decent with a scout and just as good dealing with the typical awpers that come across the Ch DM. However as others have said, it should be limited to 2-3 per team. When you have 20 people in the CSSDM and (this almost always happens) one awper turns into two, then five, then 15 and the server just deteriorates into an awpfest with a quite appearent negative atmosphere. The T's have it bad on that map in the first place not to mention when you have CT's awping on every window and hallway. |

I have nothing against AWPS, perhaps also cause I use it once in a while.
On assault 1 AWP a team is a good balance.
On the office map AWP is practicly only good in hands of a skilled AWPer
I say that Spawnpoint has a good balance on the servers that I play on. |

I agree with you this gun takes skill I know because I am horrible at it but I keep practicing. I Like AWP its alot of fun.
Quote: An AWP is only a "good" weapon in the hands of someone who has practised long and hard to use it properly ;)
Give a newbie an awp and i bet you can knife him one on one.
It takes skill to use an awp to effect. Next person on server who calls it a noob cannon is going to get "gimped" for being completely stupid.
As for people who say it's "too powerful" its only that if you get shot by it. There are many ways to bypass an awper (flashes, smoke, cover, movement) and if you're any good at the game killing an awper isn't that difficult. Perhaps rather than complaining about an awp in game you should concentrate on learning to defeat them.
Small hint. Set up a lan server, set the bots to high skill and give them all awps. You soon learn how to avoid being shot ;)Also to learn how to use one well. set up a lan server give yourself an AWP only and give all the bots knives. Hours of fun :D
Should we ban the deagle next or just turn dwp ON on all the servers
As for $10000 an awp lets be honest you don't need to buy an awp every round if you already have one ;)
A really good friend of mine who is fantastic with an awp used to say. "Those who AWP do. Those who don't complain!" It's fairly true and relevant IMHO.

I think everything has basically been sumed up about the awp. I think the Spawnpoint Assault server has got it right, with the 1 awp per team. You get people complaining about people awping front etc. but if u just smoke it and rush, your bound to kill him, the only people that complain about them are people who just camp on T hiding in dark spots, complaining that they got awped cause they're in the same place ovvver and over again >. |

I feel that the AWP is too much of a noob cannon, people say it takes skill, but it takes no skill to camp with an AWP. You can be very skilled with it and run around and own anything, but thats a whole different story.
In my opinion I would just only allow scouts. That way when u run around a corner (or even peak) with your AK or M4 you have a chance at living, you dont have to use nubs as cannon fodder to see if there is an AWP there. |

noooo if they're so easy to use, why dont people in mixes just all buy one? because you can kill them with a ak/m4 with relative ease!! 1 guy with awp stands no real chance against 2 aks with some sort of aim |

Well, "in mixes" awp can down the whole team quite easily, its not like you run in 2on1 on clear area with awp if you got a bit game sense.
Hebrew, if people camp with awp it usually is alot easier to counter because if you know the map well enough you should know the awp spots and its easy just to flash it or throw smoke and rush, throwing smoke and rushing right after usually works because people turns their back. |

This doesnt seem very fair. I know CSSDM is a "deathmatch", but we don't have smoke or flash (for understandable reasons) to even help counter an unrestricted awp. And its always the same people that join and do the same thing every night that either empties out the server or turns it into an awpfest. Its getting pretty old really. |

ONE AWP per team is ok in my eyes.
I just hate going to a server that has the AWP and EVERYONE there is using it.
It makes no sense to me.
It does require skill, but it is practically a "one hit wonder".
Every time I go against a "Pro" AWPer, I of corse get my head blown in.
But I like the complete nubs with the AWP.
They cant shoot for pennies, and they make an easy kill :D |

i second everyone who is against the AWP. I think that is a cheap wepon on most of the servers escpecialy the crackhouse 24/7 server because it just ruins the game play when a player brings out an AWP and starts the stone rolling by fourcing everyone to change from assault rifles and scouts to AWPs just so they don't get owned. I wish to ban the AWP on most of the servers that run small maps. |
