I am angry at the AWP -
09-06-2002, 06:06 AM
I noticed a lack of consistency in Counter-Strike the first day I started
playing the game but gave it little to no attention after the initial thought
crossed my mind.
Lately, it has been resurfacing with a vengeance: the AWP is to CS what
the heel was to Achilles; it ruins it. Why has this weapon received (don't lie)
preferential treatment ? Surely it cannot be the calibre!
[quote:1af3d]Intermediate in size between .50 calibre and 7.62mm NATO, the .338
Lapua Magnum extends the current 7.62mm 850m maximum sniping
range to beyond 1,400m. In other comparisons with the 7.62mm NATO,
the .338 Lapua Magnum doubles the armour penetration and exhibits 40
per cent less effect from crosswind.[/quote:1af3d]
Now, bullet penetration aside (which matters not in CS), the gun is clearly
not all that powerful. So why the special treatment ? Why should the Arctic
Warfare Magnum be able to do something the assault rifles can't, seeing
as they both go far beyond penetrating armor ?
I believe in order to make the game more interesting (and subsequently,
hear less bitching from people like me), we should cut the awp's power by
as much as 40%: the gun would compare to the assault rifles in its power
and an overall game balance would ensue.
I would like feedback to know what some of the other Counter-Strike
players think of my idea, knowing it will never be implemented because
too many lamers will vote to keep its power "way up there" because of
its special status as "sniper rifle".

No one has *anything* to say about this ? Geez, no wonder they got away
with putting that wretched weapon in the game...

Last time I ever write more than one paragraph on this board: no one ever
has anything good to say anyway... the only one being Mr. Special Ed, once
in a while, when his head isn't far up his ass.
Well, can't say I didn't try.

CS!!!!! I say th awp is just fine, and i think its awm not awp, arctic warefare magnum. Magnum being the part that kinda makes you die so fast with one shot. Anyways, if played by normal nonhaxors the awp is just fine. Most cant aim worth shitz. Now when there is a hax0r you ca always tell because they will have perfect aim while running sidesteping and jumping, a quality that is not possible in REAL play.
When the new CS comes out i think the awm will have removable nightvision thing.
So what im trying to say is if you play fair with no cheats the you will see the awm drawbacks, but if u H4X0r it is the perfect weapon to piss everyone off.

I can't stand it when like half of your team, or the other team has those awm's that's why i play mostly on servers that don't allow awm's. The thing that has brought me back to cs is custom models/skins, when i played before i never noticed them, i made my cs look like blackhawk down biggrin: .

Counterstrikes an ok game but i prefer to use ogc varients when im pissing around on a server. Nothings more satisfying than bitchsmacking an awm whore from range with a pistol
