SpawnPoint - Where Game Begins

It’s the “Ban the Awp debate again”…..The AWP is part of the game and should be left alone…..We hate the AWP….It’s not fair to ban the AWP and still have other weapons….The AWP slows the game down and causes camping…. I need the AWP to get my score up…..The AWP is good for my stats…. AWPers are gay….The Ts need the AWP…. So go to an AWP map......The CTs should have an AWP…..and so it goes. You can’t make everyone happy.
However….it makes me happy to ban the AWP.

:DBan the awp... woohooooo, omg i like the day that valve brings out a new update saying: Weapon AWP has been removed, due to the many issues and conflicts we had over this anti-person cannon!!!

i feel that 1AWP per team is the answer, there are alot of AWP Whore out there, and these guy only come to servers if AWP
are avalible. KEEP AWP WOOOHOOO!!!!!!!:D

the problem is that there is no prone in counter strike. I agree that you wouldn't be able to hold an awp steady that well IRL, but on the other hand, the game is realistic in the sense that the awp does crazy damage IRL. It can disable a tank ffs!

I think it is silly to say it should be restricted because it isnt realistic when neither is the game of counter strike. Yes, because if you have a helmet and get shot in the face with an m4, you will survive <.< in real life. Helmets in css are more like invisible metallic bubbles that encase your entire head.

Glock, from like 600 yards away?

I managed to do less than 20 damage with a headshot from an AWP once...missed the guy I was aiming at but hit the guy who had just been nailed by 2 nades hiding on the other side of the wall behind him.

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.

The same old argument….The AWP is part of the game…andthats true…but let’s not forget there is a way to ban the AWP one map at a time. That is also part of the game or it wouldn’t be there. You can actually ban any weapon you want but the AWP is the most deleted (some times by popular demand). It is a fact that the AWP in the hands of a good player is tough to beat. It means he practiced. However…put a noob in a corner someplace and he can slow the game way down and build his stats way up. As far as realism goes…forget about it. I have seen guys that could use an AWP like a pistol. I personally think it detracts from the game. It is also annoying when a good map becomes an AWP map because some feel it’s the only way to defend. The debate will continue. There is a place for the AWP at times. I myself…don’t like it..

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.
