SpawnPoint - Where Game Begins

If your good at using both, AWP is better. If you are a headshot GENIUS, and NEVER miss, then Scout is better because you can run much faster with it than the AWP and reload time is shorter, as is the time between shots.

Technically the scout beats the AWP in every way except for brute force.
Soooo. AWP is better :D

Cos im the worst sniper in CSS known to mankind id have to pick the AWP, i rarely use any sniper weapons.

But id rather pickup an AWP take down someone then pickup my AK/M4 again.

After a 69-13 session in crackhouse, i proudly declare the awp the better sniper. i played with the awp the whole time.

maybe had 4 kills w m4?

Idk, I'm able to smash people scout v awp. Outta 120 kills, i had over 85 headshots. Plus, you move faster with a scout than a knife, which....is weird. but i'm not complaining. Scout also takes "some" skill. Awping is too easy imo. it actually gets annoying your playing cssdm on crackhouse and 60% of the people are awping. scouts are also fun, i agree, its more rewarding when you nail someone in the face with a scout then shooting him in the leg and killing him if he had already lose 25 health. I mean, by the time someone gets a dominating with an awp, they prolly already have lose 30 hp. I was playing a server and got 102-7 awpin. after scouting though, awping is weird, cuz its so slow....SCOUTS FTW!

Quote from rigormotis:

Which is why all the pro snipers in CAL and the like use AWP.

Its simple, AWP is better, if you hit them anywhere, other than the foot, they die. Scout you HAVE to hit them in the head to get that.

AWP is more accurate, AWP does more damage, AWP does not need a second shot if your good enough.

Sure you can move faster with a scout, but awpers can swap to a knife and keep up. There is no way in hell a scout can be better, unless your on an XC map. :p

So, what do you guys think, like on crackhouse, what do yuo think?

personally i love the scout i prefer the scout you get much more satisfaction from a kill with it and the reaction of a AWPer when you get them is just priceless especially if they hit you in the foot when you jump and you crack em right in the head.
Though if i am in a tired mood and can't be bothered playing CS:S like i have been recently i go for the AWP takes a lot less effort jump crouch and sit there.

P.S. - As an admin, rushing right away is also very useful if you want to watch a hacker without being suspicious.

Tills, that always happens doesn't it? I have a freind in my clan who goes 300-120 with a scout and man even that admins get pissed about it but they can't ban him cuz he's not hackin. Not saying anything against admins if it sounds like it though..;)

Eh...I generally do just as much damage (in terms of kills) with a scout as I do with the awp. Scout does take a little more practice.

The only times I ever really buy a scout though are when I try to buy an M4 on T side or AK on CT side...

I like the awp because it doesn't miss (if your not moving)...and will kill in 1 hit if you get the torso or head. Scout only a headshot will kill someone with full health.

You do move faster with a scout than anything else though (knife included), and it's actually a more ideal weapon for my frantic fast faced game play, I just don't like the fact that I miss shots I know would have hit with an awp.

In a desperate situation, 4v1 or something, if I had to choose I would be happy with either to be honest. With the awp I would be confident that my shots will count, with the scout I'll be confident that I will live long enough to make the shots count (because I'll be able to pop quicker shots and 'dodge' more bullets.). Not saying that I will always survive in that situation - I would just feel more confident :)

Also scout makes the ideal bhop and long jump weapon because of its speed :D

Sooooo basically... learn both. They are both excellent weapons.

PS: Don't jump out with awps, that's asking to be picked off mid-air...If anything do it with a scout, you'll be moving faster and less likely to be hit ;)
