I do understand what you're saying, a lot of my replies were based back against Rival's posts since I disagreed highly with his ideas & suggestions.

I do disagree with the fact that it will effectively rebalance teams, I doubt players will care enough to switch teams to utilize the AWP,

It might be different in the other servers, but in 1,2,4, long winning runs, as well as rolls typically tend to be done with other weapons as the M4 & AK, and done with flanking and other strategies, the AWP players a very small factor in it.

I guess that's where our thought processes differentiate. The spray and pray tactic is a valid newbie tactic, and hell, it's stilla tactic I use today. The point is, I burst fire you from distance with an AK from say Pit to Long A on dust 2, I'm going to win every time. Players need to learn to get better without a lot of help or they're just going to forever be bad.

My view is that good players come onto the servers because we allow the AWP, without extreme limitations. Good players tend to attract other good players as well as people who want to play with them. Lesser skilled players still have fun, but they get an intense enjoyment out of killing better players which keeps them on the server.

I'm going to use Loks as an example, no offense Loks. But Loks used to be just a regular player, <1.0 KDR and he just ran out around shooting people. Not that he's been playing a lot more, especially scrimming with others, he's completely turned around and his skill level has increased significantly. I just believe there will be better ways to team balance without putting further limitations on the server.
