I think Counter Strike needs more long range guns, or for that matter, more guns overall.

I like the AWP in a sniping situation. It should be a part of the game. Like on oilrig, I like standing in the tower and picking off the VIP while he runs for the chopper. But, I don't like people running into an enemy stronghold and fireing AWP at anything that moves. It's just not practical. In a real life situation (as the game tries to simulate - at least more real than TFC), you aren't going to run through the front lines with a sniper rifle. I can see some logic in the fact that an AWP one shot kills, as, if you are a sniper (in real life), you are counting on the one shot kill. However, the game is rewarding you for just making contact and I don't agree with that. I don't know how difficult this would be to program, but I think it should allow the one shot kill if you make contact within a certain area (i.e. the head, the heart, and any other vital areas of the midsection - if you're shot in any of these place with a bullet that large, you 'will' die) and reward that level of accuracy instead of just rewarding you for any kind of contact.
Despite the fact that it is incredibly overpowered, I think it is a good part of the game, because for those who use it practically, it is a very strategic sniping weapon. And it's not really all that bad. If you guys have ever played with BobSkywalker, you know that he pulls AWP and snipes *always*. Just to spite him, I would pop into his range and land a head shot with a Steyr before he even realized it was an enemy. So, AWP also presents a good challenge to everyone not using one - kill the motherfu__er with the AWP.

I usually don't mind the AWP, but there are those times when we have a whore on our hands and it gets messy. More guns, sounds good. Doesn't look like it's going to happen anytime soon.

haha gunslinger - i dont think the very few times we played together is enough to warrant me as always with an awp
i assure you that if you played on the TG server more you would find that i actually use other guns! yes! i am quite partial to the p90 and and sg552
the awp and i are just one of those things that stick out because when i have an awp, and im not sucking, i am usually doing rather well with it...its like in real life when something unfortunate happens and it just seems like its a frequent thing when it really happens quite seldom, but you only remember it more because it was displeasing as opposed to when it does not happen which makes it of no remark or completely not noticed (wow do i make any sense? probably not)
in general, i grab an awp when my team is being beat to crap - then i just keep using it the rest of the map if it was successful in dispelling the shutout...i certainly dont spawn with an awp
anyways, i think you just caught me on one night where i was doing well with awp so i stuck with it and the maps that came up were all beneficial for sniping...
ps: awp isnt always one shot kill...to a point
if you shoot a limb it usually doesnt kill...but it might as well have since you're left with an amount of hp thats almost useless (life in the teens) so if you've taken any damage usually 1 awp shot will kill you
awp headshot always kills and 99% of the time the chest does as well

No Bob... AWP kills even if you hit the person's arm... The currrent damage model for AWP is one-hit kill for anything above the waist, and about 80-90 damage for anything below...

i hate this gun. I think it is cheap and hard to use

I play LAN tournaments with friends from school, and we always have a designated sniper. It just makes the game so much easier to win, when you have a sniper to cover a big area and kill with one shot instead of aiming with your colt and hoping you hit head.
Almost every map has a sniper spot, so make use of it with a bit of teamwork.

I don't mind people using the awp that much, unless that's all they do. I think that if people use the awp, they should charge with it like a normal gun. Much more fun that way

I can't stand using the AWP because of the lag time between changing between the two magnifications and back again to normal view.
I find when I use it, I sight in using the low magnification...see a target...zoom to the higher magnification...wait a second or so for this to happen..miss the target...take a second or so to zoom out to normal view...and spot the guy up to me and then I die a thousand and one deaths.
Yes...I suck using them.

I'd have to say this gun is good, it adds more strategy to the gameplay and helps you learn more evasive manuvers.

That is skill
Posted by: TueurDelite
ya well i dont like that gun when ur getting killed head shot evry round by the same guy
Posted by: Zendu
thats called a aimbot... face it cs isnt realistic (its the most realist out there but..) i think it should be built more towards teamplay and yes more guns, maybe less hp and encouraced voice communication, id love to see a mod that actually simulated a ct mission, eventually it comes down to who has no life and can kill me each damn time while i pump bullets into his brian pan and has no effect at all!! ahh ihate wonky hit boxes!
