restrict awp and auto snipers?

[fathazza]

Just a suggestion that you guys restrict the awp and auto snipers from the game as cs is frankly a lot more enjoyable without them

That's not going to happen on a permanent basis. If you want it changed just for the map, and an admin agrees with you, they can change it. Other than that, no .

Then why were you using the auto sniper heavily earlier .

i only bought one to be fair.... used it till someone killed me. and my main reason for buying it is that my tmp just doesnt work so well on aztec

why not have a permanent ban on it on the e-frag server tho? Auto snipes is just to easy to rack up kills with no skills with... and the awp can get so frustrating when half the opposing team are using them and someone shoots you in the toe and kills you

And the fact that anyone even halfway decent at sniping should do well with a scout anyhow

Its pretty much the single reason i dont play CS.
Just boring, repetitive camping with the AWP.

Its a much better game without it.

Some others would disagree but I think the system that the NESW server implements by restricting sniping weapons on the team that's winning rounds constantly is a pretty good way to go about it.

that sounds like a pretty fair system...

still think auto snipes should be banned outright for them, they are just such unbalanced guns.

agreed.. my P90 feels rubbish when u get an awp stands miles away picking off my limbs..

CS is so much more enjoyable with the sniper stuff off..

hehe , cs is still better than delta force was, when some gimboid used to snipe you from a mile and a half away while hidden in tall grass

I might get a no-sniping night going then soon, so there'd be no AWPing, auto sniping or scouting.

I'm pretty sure I set up a vote on the admin system also, so that a no sniping vote can be made. I might do a few no sniping votes on some of the larger maps. If most people want it, then it will be voted, but if most don't then nothing will happen. It's the fairest way tbh.

Just I know a lot of people hate votes popping in the middle of a match.

i dont think you need to include the scout in that as it doesnt change the nature of the way people play the game in the way that the other two do.

by that i mean to be dominating a server with a scout you need skill. To dominate a server with an awp or auto snipes you just need a mouse and the lack of cerebral palsy

[sawyen]

indeed... styr scout needs skill, i woudnt mind if a guy picks my head off using a scout..

[unreal]

Meh, I don't mind snipers too much, theres always a way to take em out as well as them taking you out, but one thing I really hate is flashbangs. I really don't mind them from a strategical perspective, but when every opposing team member buys two and bombards you with them every round until you finally gather vision when you drop dead, that is not fun, at all. But I guess since not everyone does that it's not so bad.

I think our server should be alot more liek NESW's. I think it should be banned if the team is winning by three rounds like there server. There server is always full so we could learn alot from them. If you need to know how to do it aj i can talk to dan and find out.

TBH using an AWP on a populated public server does actually take a fair bit of skill, as if you don't kill with your first shot you are invariably dead, and it is good practice for a few clan members that do use the AWP in matches. Obviously if there's only 2 people on the server then an AWP is tedious and generally gay.

I don't like the way some servers have it set up so that the AWP is restricted to one per team, as although it seems a good idea, there are several flaws. One is that you cannot buy the weapon if somebody else has "bought" one at the start of that round, but you CAN buy one if the only awp in the team was bought in previous rounds. The other is that if you manage to pull off some heroics on your own in the last round and manage to survive, you could lose your weapon and not be compensated with any money, meaning you are actually punished for winning a round!

The way some other servers are setup, with restricting AWP's and Auto's for teams with a certain lead, is a very good idea IMO, as by the nature of the system the team restricted will have won several consecutive rounds so will have enough money to buy an alternative weapon.

Flashbangs cannot be permanently restricted IMO, though on the iceworld maps a total grenade ban would be a fantastic idea.

If you find out how they do it, I'm sure something could be arranged .
