plus, just for the record, 90% of the people i’ve seen using the awp are very very narrowsighted. they have their alley they snipe on, and that is it. they have no peripheral vision whatsoever. Can you say knife kill? I mean, come on! you get past the death run by dodging maybe 2 shots total and then you are free to run around and get that prick. I do that often.
I love people that understand the balance the AWP really does have.
Put simply:
AWP >>> Idiots
Sensible Player >>> AWP
