When did AWPs users begin to not be noobs?

Experienced players use awps too and they're pretty damn good at it! I love that weapon, it's awesome. And it provides more opportunity for knifing too!

I've never seen an AWPer try to knife someone.

Though I realize the AWP is part of the game, I still always hate it when the game degenerates into a camp/AWP type. I almost always play an office-only map, and for the first 10 rounds or so, everything is fine and dandy. Then when CTs start winning, the Ts start camping in projector room with awps, and it snowballs... to the point where Ts just automatically go to projector room, block up the doors, and awp.

I hate this too but there are ways around it. Scouting is just more fun and satisfying imo.

if you dont like the awp, play on a server where they are not allowed. Personally, I dont like hiding behind my gun, and instead like to run circles around ppl w/ my TMP. CSS is the one game that has held my attention for as long as I could remember....i love it. Not all snipers are bad, if you are a real man, you would use a scout. Now that takes some skill... i hate bein awped, but i love owning an awper with a scout or lesser weapon from long range....

The TMP is awesome...

that's generally what happens in my experience too. it becomes an awp fest.

and i love how people hate the autosniper

WTF...the Ts job on office is to defend the hostages. Hiding in the projector room is just one valid strategy to achieve that goal.

I can never understand why people whine about CTs "camping the bombsites" or Ts "camping the hostage room". Those are the objectives they're suppose to defend.

Agreed. I only get annoyed when a particular team goes against their stated objective, i.e. CT's camping siderooms in Office.

The better servers restrict AWP to one per team. This actually works out well.

Still, if you're good, an AWP is nothing to fear. There's only a few spots on a map that it can be used to good effect.

i actually dont mind the whole office camp thing, ghey as it is. i just throw smokes and flashes, and things tend to work ok. now if you office camp with an awp in the projector room.. yeah, then i get pissed
