Friends, countrymen, fellow Counter-Strike players, Lend me your ears for I come bearing grave tidings! This is something that some of you will rejoice at, and some will weep over. Weapons have become restricted. I speak not of the ever popular AK or the Colt, but of the AWP and the Auto. Weapons which all of you know well and have come to love and cherish! But these weapons have been STRUCK from the server! But why? you may ask. And i will answer. It is because some people see such weapons as a threat to the established order! They think that these weapons are too powerful and have no place in the game we all love so much.
I come here today to tell you that such is NOT the truth! The AWP, while powerful, is not a weapon that anyone can simply pick up and slay vast armies with. It requires great skill and dedication to be used properly.
Many people stop when they hear this and say “But it will kill me in just one bullet! That is not fair!”
So I go to the one who wields the AWP, and ask him, “My child, Do you think the awp is too powerful?.”
And he says “No, it is a balanced thing.”
And I ask, “But how can this be? Many people say the AWP gives them no chance, that is simply kills them all.”
And he says, “Ahhh, a simple smoke gernade could blind me and make my AWP useless. The AWP is slow to fire. You say many came to you to ask you to remove the AWP, but they all came to me, one at a time. When I use the AWP, i can not gaurd behind myself, or even to the sides. It is a simple matter to defeat an AWP, but no one is willing to try.”
And I ask him, “How did you come to use the AWP?”
And he answers, “I was killed by one who used the AWP many times.”
And I ask him, “But did that not make you hate the AWP?”
And he says, “No, it taught me to love the AWP, for just as you may strike one down with the AWP, one may also be striken. The awp will not garuntee victory, it is simply the weapon I prefer. I can not help it if others are so skillless they must remove anything that is greater than them.”
So I go back to the people who first came to me.
And I say to these people, “My children, Did you use your smoke gernades?”, And the people say “No, I did not.”
And I ask the people, “My children, Did you try and avoid the AWP?”, and the people say “No, I did not.”
And I ask the people, “My children, Did you flank the AWP?”, and the people say, “No, I did not.”
And then I ask the people, “My children, Why did you not use the AWP to fight back?”
And the people give no answer, just hang thier heads in shame.
And I ask the people, “My children, you made no attempt to defeat the AWP, you made no attempt to learn the AWP, and yet you come to me and say ‘It is too powerful, make it cease to exist!’ I think perhaps that it is not the AWP that is lacking, but you!”
My point here is, the AWP is an easy weapon to beat, its just no one ever tries, they just ban it from the server whenever they see it. Same with auto. The auto gets flamed as a weapon that any idiot with no aim can pick up and kill hundreds with. Not true. The auto is just as capable of getting spray and pray shots as any other weapon, which is what happenes when any random idiot picks it up. Yes, the auto is incredibly lethal in a skilled user’s hands, but so is any other gun. Removing the AWP and the Auto simply because you personaly can’t fight back agianst them is no “balancing the game” or “making it more fair”, its simply avoiding any difficulty you encounter instead of dealing with it. Grow some back bone or balls or guts or whatever it takes and confront the things you have trouble with. If you are never challenged, you will never grow.
