I agree with Shark: It IS a newb rifle.
Once you get to a certain skill level, AWP is nearly impossible to beat unless your way past their skill.
And a lot of times, its not just 1 awp that makes me mad. Its the fact that usually there will be 5 out of 7 people on the other team with an awp. If they could restrict it to just one person per round with an AWP or something, I'd be perfectly fine. But since they can't I would suggest banning it all together or making it a iceworld 24/7 server.
Besides Goose: why do you use the awp? Most likely because your losing and need a cheap way to start winning or need to ensure you will win such in league games. Honestly those are the only times I see good people use it. And all the 'newbs' who use it always need a cheap way to win, so I guess it can be applied to anyone.
And to anyone who says awp is hard: Its only hard to get headshots. Yah, with colt/smg/whatever you get multiple shots, but each shot does much less unless you aim for heads, which takes a lot more skill. With an awp you just aim for the body, which is A LOT easier to hit than the head with a colt, even with auto.
Yah, so basically AWP IS a newb gun, and its not because I can't handle it, its because its overly done on ToJ.
