Awp is fine in matches, should be limited to one or two in pubs.
It DMs its just hilarious to play with, it also tests your reactions.
P90? No skill needed to shoot with that, all you do it hold the trigger down and aim, no skill at all.


There are still some burst fire mechanics to utilize.

Yep I'd have to agree with you. Also, I'm not sure what "Dak" means. It's starting to puzzle me.

Have you ever sniped with a P90? And it's so inaccurate in full auto that it's only effective like that in close quarters. No, I save my bullets.

Yep that's true. BTW to some I think the "Dak" option in the poll might be the mighty Deagle.

if you limit awps in pubs, how will you ever learn how to take an awper out? learn some techniques like crouch-peeking and fake jumping. im a LAN tourney exp awper, its really not that easy when you play against pro players who prefire and spam every common angle an awper holds. against someone good, if you miss your shot youre probably going to get ********. and thats not very fun when you just spent $5k on a gun, $1k on a helmet, and $2k on deag/nades/kit. AK is one shot kill to the head, and the fact that you can 4burst makes it just as easy to kill with it as with the awp. besides, ever try to clutch with an awp? its ******** hard. most pros drop the awp for an AK if they can find one if its a pivotal match... knowing how to noscope and quickscope consistantly is in no way "easy"

AWPs can either balance or unbalance the game, depending on the mood.

In a pub, AWPs ruin everything. 36 AWPs is NEVER fun.
On dust_2, I want to rush short as T and never worry about getting picked. It's just not fun. The occasional 15, even 89 damage (or hell, even a pick!) is all fair-game, but a 1-5 ratio just isn't fun. I realize that one CT with an AWP would balance the very T-biased strategy of a short-rush, but hell, since when did I care about the other team being balanced!? Let them nade spam, see if my AK cares. twisted

In skrims and matches, AWPs add a very powerful twist on strategy.
Yeah--it's a 1-hit kill, but so is the AK, or the M4 given another tenth of a second. It's all skill, and the AWP adds a little balance (more damage-more vulnerability). And, more importantly, strategy. You won't find many clans practicing short rushes. In a way, it adds just that much more cognitive process to the strat-makin's.


edit: Also, AK and M4 need to be in separate categories for the poll. M4 is gross.


Sir, I could not have said it any better myself!

I just wish Valve would give some update love to CS and balance the weapons.

If we ever get a CS:S server, we defiantly need to limit the AWP to one per team.
on my clan dangerously delicious's server thats what pix had done

> Ever since 1.6 I've disliked the AWP and it's overpowered-ness. Luckily the majority of Pubs I play on have disabled/limited awps~ <

Going to repost here, since I was a little newbier back when I first posted.

The AWP does take skill to use. Yes, its a one shot kill to most body parts, but it mostly relies on your reactions, patience and steady hand, and of course your audio for them sexy flick shots people get away with once in a while.

If you watch some of the professionals, like Release of Fragmasters Toxic, or any semi-pro clan, you can see how much skill it actually takes.
