But again, most servers have a 1 awp rule... Not all of those people that awp in DM are going to go on and buy the awp in a main game server. And I mean, it's not like it would be horrible for someone who does want to warm up with the awp to have to go pick it up, and / or have to not die in order to have the right to continue using it. This would be a very minor problem for a very small amount of people.
I actually just thought of something which might be a solution for most people. What if you had to go pick up the awp, but it was in a spot that wasn't too obvious and was challenging for noobs to get? Such as on top of the double crates in B? That would be T's awp, and maybe CT's spawn near B could be moved to the standard T spawn, and their awp could also be on the nearby double crates. Neither of these would be too easily visible and each require a crouch jump.
I feel like this would also solve the bad spawn problem (at least partially), because CT is kind of fucked with their spawn near B - especially the one that's closer to the door. I feel like it's the only truly bad spawn, because any CT that spawns with an SMG in that spot is pretty much screwed from every direction; it severely limits their options, puts them in a place nobody really goes, and pretty much forces them to use a long range weapon. T's B spawn is pretty awesome, I don't think anyone would disagree unless they're breaking away from the system of 2 spawns for each team. CT's A bombsite spawn is also awesome because it gives them the option to go catwalk, through standard CT spawn, or long A. T's long A spawn is kind of eh, but I mean where else are you going to put it?
