But that's ridiculous, because usually there are several good awpers on a server, so why should one guy always have the awp? Just because he camps, holds onto it and loses the round by ignoring the objective rather than going for the objective and possibly dying and losing the awp? I think you missed most of my suggestion, and just read "limit the consecutive amount of purchases". With my suggestion, it gives a fair rotation to all the people on the server who have good awp skills.

Oh wait, if you're referring to if no one else on your team has the awp, then yes. If you're on the losing team and you're allowed to pick up the awp, you'd get a hefty $4,750 in your pocket which will effectively pull you out of bankruptcy. 

Actually I was referring to the cases (I think in 24/7 Dust2) where I would have an AWP, and some, in your words, "terrible awper" would pick up the other team's AWP by the end of the round, and MY AWP ends up getting refunded to me at the beginning of next round when I had it originally, and I'm a better AWPer than this person.

Boo hoo? You get your money refunded, no big deal. If that guy is such a terrible awper, he'll die quickly and you'll have a chance to either pick up his awp or buy another one when the next round starts. Get a rifle and a deagle, and go get yourself some kills that aren't down the end of a scope.


I hate this whole mentality of "I am the greatest awper, no one else should touch that weapon apart from me". A player is only as good as the whole of his parts. If you can't get a kill without using an awp, then you need to practise with other weapons. Several player on the server say stuff like "omg gimme the awp its mine you suck" and it really gets my back up. You don't automatically have the right to that weapon just because you have a certain amount of skill with it. The problem isn't that they are buying the awp, it's that the "I'm the awper" guy can't hit sh.it without a scope.

I am just trying to promote a better style of gameplay. The game gets extremely stale when it's just one guy awping and letting everyone else die just because he wants to keep his big shiny expensive toy. Get some rotation going with that awp, and you'll see a much more balanced style of play.

M. Bison Wrote:Yes, my idea would go about this slightly differently. All awps would be removed and everyone would have a fair chance at snatching it during the start of the round.

You are thinking along the same lines as me, and I like it. I want the awp to be rotated through the people that actually want to awp, rather than one guy hogging it because he's "the best". Limiting it to 3 consecutive rounds of purchase, and then 3 rounds where you would be restricted from purchasing the awp, would make much better gameplay I think. Sick of awp hoggers.
