I don't always buy the awp, but I have no trouble getting it As Mr. Tea stated, he doesn't have a problem either and he plays in Germany. There's no need/point for this, you're just restricting the game for those that play it correctly.

There's been a lot of people arguing for changes to the server that will make it more noob friendly. You can't keep helping these kids out, or they'll never be effective in a real game.

The fact of the matter is, it's going to cause problems. I would absolutely hate it, if I got the awp for one round only to be team flashed, blocked, get rushed when I'm the only one defending a point and to lose the ability to get the awp again. It's going to be big problems, especially when you have a team that's getting rolled, and you or someone else not being able to be the force multiplier to change the tide of battle. If the best player on the team got killed when they were awping, then they would never have a chance to get it back to change the tide of battle.

Quote:If any of you argue that the 1 awp per team limit is better, it means that either you want to continue the awp monopoly for yourselves (and as a direct consequence restrict the ability of others to use the awp) because you don't want to get shot by an awp, because you don't like change, or simply because you couldn't care less.

Not true at all.

I rarely awp in the pub servers.
I don't mind getting shot by the awp, I'd be more annoyed by autosnipers and p90.
I don't mind change, but when the change is 'gimping the server' and making it generally more noob friendly, then I have a serious problem.
I do care. I don't like these changes that will negatively affect many of the good players experiences, especially since so few of them are on the forums. I am strongly against such a change.

Seriously, if you think it's an effective rule, test it out on the server. I guarantee you that the top players will not be playing on this server. And we need them to keep the skill level high enough so that we remain popular. Having a noob friendly server may appeal to some like the non-steamers, and people that don't currently have the skill, but I would absolutely dislike any server that implemented such a rule. We have enough rules on the awp as it is already.
