it needs skill to use them in the battle and not only in the distance^^

its correct that his high power gives a nice leech with vampire but for that you need to hit at first^^

its a one shot sniper so you are able to shoot once every 2-3secs in this time it is deadly to get attacked close combat from a m249 for example

so all you need is skill

you can argue a similar way against the m249 (para) or p90 or duals

all these weapons have more than 30 shots so you can fire almost unlimited while your opponent is reloding thats overpowered too even if 1hit deals less dmg than the awp you hit 10-20times in these 2-3 delay secs from the awp so you can the same or higher leech

same is with auto snipers if you can handle them they are a way more deadly than the awp becouse they can be used in close combat

awp deal 90-120dmg on un-amored enemy with any hit at the body, headshot deals 450-480dmg
autosniper has 40-60 dmg on unamored people and headshot about ~250-300

the exact dmg of the m249 i dont know but the dmg over time must be the same as the awp has

the best way to counter the awp is frostpistol + p228 , 1shot to slow him the resyt into the head and the one with awp has no chance since frostpistol stuns you and makes aiming impossible if you are hit in the head with it

but we've the same problem with the m249 and duals

imo both are more unfair against new players^^

and i'd like to add no one would prevent new players to use the awp aswell

we all know spawnkill results in a ban

its just you call the awp as unfair against new players and i told you the m249 is even more unfair then the awp sinc eits easier to handle with less dmg but more effect

Much ammo and high fire rate, that makes it alot easier to kill high level players.

And with the AWP, you need good skills to handle a AWP at rpg. It´s kinda hard to use AWP, cuz on rpg everyone is trying to get close.

And there is no such surf maps that´s so big so you can sit safe with AWP.

but you can do this with m249 too xD

i just mean both weapons are not fair but it is easier to kill with the m249 than with the awp and the awp is restricted

i don't see the point in this.... allow all weapons or remove the ones with advantage at srpg

first option should be the best option imo since the most people already have health max for now and it needs then 2shoots to kill with the awp, means if you are lucky enaugh to hit once in the head and therefor we have no really sniper based map at the server everyone gets close to you

me and kent are able to use the awp in close battle but we are just 2 of more than 100 players at the server

with 100lvls you have the needed coinz for 500hp

then i prolly hope m249+duals get removed too
