AWP Overusing in Competitive Play

[Mikesch]

Wouldn't it be good to get rid of the AWP spam that has been happening for the last few weeks? In many games I've been in there were sometimes 3 guys or even the whole damn team equipped with AWP, and that really sucks.

After all, Valve seems to be very picky about it being competitive, so why not make it like a real competitive match where only one AWP is allowed per team? That would be fair for both sides and also there won't be any AWP squads running around duck hunting, especially on Dust II.

I am writing this because I just was in a game where every damn guy in the enemy team bought AWP. And that has really been getting on my nerves for quite a while now that this was not the first match in which I have seen this.

Please fix this somehow.

Totally Agree.

Never saw a "real" competitive match with any weapon restriction... so in which league do you have only 1 awp?


I agree you pls valve do something

I probably did not express it correctly. The teams are mostly "built" so that one person takes the role of the sniper (with AWP), thus you don't see 2 AWPs in one team. Sorry for the misunderstanding, I didn't mean a rule or similar.

However, it still means that in basically all the games (at least from what I've seen) have one AWP per team, therefore, if non-team people play solo competitive, they still should have the same "feel" of playing a competitive match.

A team with more than one AWP is at a heavy disadvantage for various reasons. Valve does NOT need to do anything here just because you don't know how to smoke/flash and rush them. It's a matter of perspective, adjust to it and learn to counter with strategies.

@Mikesch, there's a lot of good teams around that play 2 AWPs...mostly on CT side though. I think you should have the choice.

[Snazzy Toast]

Any more than 1 awp is usually a bad idea... Two AWP's are sometimes used depending on the map but 3+ is just an awful idea. The AWP has the slowest cycle time between shots in any CS game and certainly does not need a limit. When a team uses 3+ AWP's, they are screwing themselves.

I agree with this 100% been playing this game for 12 years.

happens every day for me

i don't ~~~~

I want to get this straight... REMOVE the AWP from a COUNTER-STRIKE game? That is really absurd. Unless you are winning with something like 13-0 why would you ever buy more than two AWP's?

dude if they have awp just push them role on the floor do something just dont stand still, learn how to play against them.

The problem is that the AWP is overpoered even in CQB. In dust 2 for instance, i met a guy in an alley, shot him about 3 times, kept myself moving and he aimed and shooted so fast that I couldn't even stand a chance. They should nerf the time to scope and the acuracy if you do quick scope.

[generatedname]

people are either rifle users or awpers. if a team ends up with 5 awpers, whatever...it should be an easy victory for the other team

[Álex Callejón]

If you meet guys who can "quickscope" than I must guess that the guy was really lucky. I am never really able to do anything CQB with the AWP. Nerfing the time to scope would be a very bad idea since you would sometimes have a hard time fighting against the AK-47 long range and I think that a weapon of 4750$ should give you something of an advantagde against a weapon of 2700$. The AWP has always been sort of an icon for the CS series and probably will always be.

[NITRO]

Still I find ridiculous a guy rushing with a sniper rifle. And the AWP already have a huge advantage of being extremely acurate and of killing with only one shot. There are situations that a AK47 or a M4 should be better than the AWP.

[KeNNyG]

Its not extremely acurate the awp takes skill as well. people dont believe that because its a 1 shot kill guy, but to connect that one shot in fast up close situations, thats skill. You pay 4750 for a reason. There is no logic for getting it to 1 awp per team, this isn't Battle field. If someone has a awp, smoke it, play upclose smg. Listen for the scope and jump and duck during fire fight. I am sure that if the person who made this thread could awp, his/her story would be different.

[NITRO]

Well, at first i used rifles more often. then I started to use the SCAR or G3.
But I started to get anoyed to always being killed by one shots sudenly, then I started using awp and killed twice more than I did... I'm not skillfull or THAT good, but even so, this weapon is so overpowered that I got bored of so much using it
