Awps

[Kami]

Alright, this isnt a AC only question, because it affects everyone who is going to play on the server, we need to know and by friday im ending this poll.

this is the final deal, whichever wins thats it.


^_^ have fun on servers.

i believe in the "its in the game, its usable". i take a lot of pride in out scouting AWPers. and sneaking up behind them and shooting them in the head.

there are certain maps though where i will admit, it makes it extremely unbalanced, especially if there's more than one (dust1 on ct's).

however, like i said, its a part of the game. luckily people that play on our server RARELY use awps, so i dont' see the point in banning it. i'll use it about 1 in 100 matches, unless i pick it up, which i'll usually die right after picking it up cuase you slow down to much when using it.

if ANYTHING... limit to one a team, winning or losing. my 2 cents.

[Moe]

I voted no, cause I have two reasons 1) No1 ever uses it on our server so whos going to miss it. 2) OMG you wouldn't imagine how many people bitch when they die and the AWPer gets a couple others on the way as well.

I wouldn't mind if it is gone or if it is still in game, just hope either it's on lossing team or don't use it at all.

i voted for it to be accessable to all teams because partially what schweppes said. it is great to kill some1 who is awping, with a gun (such as a scout) besides an awp/auto. i especially love then taking the gun and laughing at them die over and over and i say, "shouldn't have used it !" but after a few rounds i'd drop it to have more of a challenge. and b4 ya'll start saying, "zomg he dont play!" i do, just not as much and on other servers cuz i ping very badly on ac (not cuz of the server, b/c of my location.)

Sirius how long have you been posting on forums.(Off topic) cause the amount you've posted compared to mine is just embarrassing.(remind you I have been here since the creation of anything related to AC)

[Kami]

problem with the logic is, winning team can just switch to auto, they have the money for it.

[The Black Dart]

(in response to moe) ive been here since the creation of these forums, and i was on the old forums. i am/was the black dart, former ac member.

[F1r3f0x]

BTW, Moe you contradicted yourself with your vote and your reasoning.

[Moe]

If you read it carefully, and know the kinda stuff I throw out their you would know I always contradicte myself or anything I say. Main obejctive nother[W]orthless

layer, I just don't like AWP's cause I can't run and no-scope with them like a scout. So what I say is "freak it, ban the freaking peice of shit ban it!" (thats my above post but in a gentle and contradicteing statement.)

*[Off topic]Oh...wait...I'm confused...why did you change your name from TBD to Sirius, and how could someone be a former member of this clan, were not even a clan.*

->(Oh shit this is like a whole new topic will make a thread if kami doesn't mind this slight off-topic route me and TBD might take here)

[The Black Dart]

ill leave it to private messaging, end of that lil off topic discussion here. back to the awp discussion.

[phoenixrage]

lol oh i love heated discussions! everyone gets to tense its fantastic! anyhow...i like the idea of like restricted it to 1 awp per team...that seems somewhat fair i play on another server that alows 2 awps per team and that seems like more than enough...anyhow...other then that ya no one really uses awps so if we took them away i dont think people would miss that much...you would have the occassional person complain about it but other than that we wouldnt have be like NO AWPING ON WINNING TEAM everytime we play =/

i dont think autos really come into play since they arent one hit kills, they are pretty much a krieg with a bigger scope. the biggest issue with awps, i think is that you really have no chance to fight back. you get hit, youre dead.

[Schweppes7T4]

autosnipers do and dont' bother me. i agree with ct, they're another issue. i know when i use auto snipers (again, about as rare as using an AWP), i still tend to get headshots, cuase i still aim.

it jsut bothers me when someone just lays down suppresion fire with things. so that if you step out, you're dead casue you just get riveted.

but yeah, they're not one hit kills, and cause of that people dont' tend to get them. they also make you run VERY slow, so its really easy to kill someone who's using them, not to mention that for a sniper rifle, its horribly inaccurate. at worst, i'd say do the same thing, limit it to one auto sniper. 1 awp and 1 auto is more than enough firepower.

I don't mind awps, I don't think they should be banned. Although I do agree with at least limiting them. Nothing I hate more than being on a map, on the loosing team, down a member, and the opposite team has an awp.. If the score is close, i.e. 4-5, no worries, it's when it's 4v6, and the score is 2-19 that I have a problem with the winning team using an awp. They already have man advantage, and they have a TON of wins built up. The loosing team is struggling to get more than a pistol, and then POW! Awp to the face... Kind've annoying... But you still must take into account the map. I know I've played where a team gets 10 kills, people leave, teams switch, the once loosing team goes 4-0... then I could see the winning team awping. In general, the team that has the advantage, really doesn't need to awp, and it just gives them a larger advantage. As people have said, killing an awper gives you great pleasure, but then, you have to be able to get the drop on them, or you're one bullet away from being another victim.

Food for thought... Schweppes, you said "my 2 cents."... If that's your two cents, why is it only a penny for your thoughts?? What is really happening to that other penny???

That other penny goes to the vitims of awpers on the winning team.... and I dislike the awp due to the fact that almost ANYONE can pick it up and kill with so much ease. It can be a great asset to a team if they are stacked against but I think scouts are better. With a scout you have to hit someone in the face to 1 shot kill them but with the awp your bullet could deflect off the wall and still seem to kill 5 people!
