That does sound like a good idea. I have another suggestion though (as always lol ).

The main problem I see with awps is that because they are limited and expensive, people don't want to drop them, so they will not rush because they don't want to risk the chance of dying and losing it. Most would try and justify their actions by saying that it's expensive, and they don't want to buy it and then drop it, ergo losing money.

The actual fact is, most people don't want to drop it because they know that there is a chance that someone else will buy it in the next round, leaving them awp-less, and in some cases, completely powerless (I know several players who are terrible without an awp, not naming any names).

My suggestion comes in a few parts :

- Make everyone force drop the awps at the end of the round. People are still able to pick up a dropped awp during the round, but at the end it's force dropped and those wielding it are refunded money, so they don't lose anything.

- Keep it one awp per team. You can easily kill an awper with several arrays of weaponry. I rarely buy the awp (I pick it up if it's dropped sometimes), and I manage to out-snipe awpers constantly with the scout, or even just AK/Deag headshots.

- Here is the important bit : Limit the number of consecutive rounds that a single player can buy an awp. For example, limit it so that you can't start the round more than 3 times with an awp, and if you attempt to buy it you are met with the message "This item is not currently available" or whatever the message was.

This would mean that you HAVE to buy an awp at the beginning of each round if you want to be the awper, but you can't buy it more than 3 rounds in a row. It would stop people running away from objectives just to keep the awp, as you would be forced to drop it at the end of the round anyway, making it a pointless hold.

Maybe couple this with asking admins to slay someone who is obviously awp-holding at the beginning of the round (for example, someone who is clearly running away from attempting to defuse the bomb so that they can save their awp. I see this a lot, and it bugs me to hell).

I don't know, I feel that having the losing team have the awp would just mean more team switching to get the awp. Also, if the team is losing horribly, then most players won't have the funds to buy an awp, plus K&H and a DK, so it would be like no one awping.

Just a suggestion
