ParticipantJust curious because im playing right now and it’s saying restricted weapon. 2 in the whole game, which i never heard discussed anywhere. Would someone clarify this issue for me?

ParticipantI was told last night by kitten that it was decided on by one of the exec i was under the idea that that needed a vote but i guess it doesnt . i just hope its a exec that plays css and not just a exec.

ParticipantI did it. For the month I’ve been playing and watched 90% of the server use nothing but awps, and it gets old fast. They’re limited to two per team as are the autosnipers.
The biggest reason for this change is because while we love having you all as “regs”, we want to get in new people too and entice them to stay. 75% of the whining I hear is about the amount of AWP’s present in the game.
Enjoy.

ParticipantIf server use is decreased due to the change, can the restriction be lifted?
December 25, 2008 at 9:48 pm #67223ren
Participantserver use won’t go down because of it. people pick up awps and use them because they get raped by them and want to have a way to fire back. then they realize that they can’t awp, and just try harder to actually shoot someone. it’s not that hard to pop around a corner and shoot an awper in the face. you get 30 shots, they get 1.

Participanti think it is set to one per team but maybe that was when i was playing.

ParticipantHm. I’ll check it.

ParticipantIssue fixed with it being restricted to one. Not sure how that happened. It was on ‘2’ for CT’s and ‘1’ for T’s. *shrug*

Absolutely right sir. I almost always play as a T, so I wanted to handicap our team since I was there to give them a huge advantage. Y’know?

Thank you ^^
December 29, 2008 at 9:56 am #67343Lemm
Participantyeah i agree with ren here as well there is no reason to restrict awps on every map…
since everyone is forced to autojoin you could prolly take the restriction off of aztec as well
EDIT: i will say there is no reason to keep it restricted.. if it’s getting bad i’d say it’s ok to restrict for a map or two.. but there is NO reason to keep it on
December 29, 2008 at 11:30 am #67345Ex
Participantlemm the reason for the restrictions was it was getting bad so instead of letting it continue to get worse something was done about it if people don’t want to play on the server because they can’t awp *edited* will these people really be missed? i doubt it. Its like the other day there was a guy that did nothing but awp 3 maps in a row we don’t need that kind of crap here .

ParticipantIn my own words: All of you AWP *edited*s who are complaining, go die in a fire. I’ll bring the marshmallows so the rest of us can celebrate.
December 29, 2008 at 12:15 pm #67347ren
ParticipantYay Liam!
On a side note, even if one person controls the AWP for 3 straight maps, doesn’t that just mean they’re really *edited* good? “AWP whoring” is just when tons of people buy them to buy them because they suck and need a 1 shot kill. They still die a ton though, perhaps even more than when rifling. Good AWPers will never die, they are just too good to be killed ^^

ParticipantIt’s almost 2009 and people are STILL complaining about the awp.
Wow.
December 30, 2008 at 6:24 pm #67424So-CaL A
ParticipantYes lockem..and quite frequently too. Its a gun…thats all. The person using it is what actually matters.
And not to seem like im just starting drama but alot of 16k servers are full constantly and they have tons of awpers. And guess what, no one complains. Learn to play against an awp…it ain’t hard.

December 30, 2008 at 6:56 pm #67425ren
ParticipantSo-CaL, what you don’t realize is that on those servers, everyone is bad. All it takes here, on WCU, is for 2 half decent awpers to get their guns and they can hold an entire team. We all know it’s true, and by restricting it somewhat helps with the situation (only 1 good awper can have an AWP, and usually the person that buys the gun is a baddie). If people really start to leave because of this, then I’m sure it will be unrestricted, but seeing as that won’t happen…
December 30, 2008 at 7:00 pm #67426lockEm
ParticipantRestricting awps because you can’t play the game is stupid. If the awper has distance on you, don’t test him. Simple as that. You have smokes and flashes, use them.
December 30, 2008 at 8:01 pm #67429So-CaL A
ParticipantWhat i don’t realize?? lol. yea, that’s it.
And that wasn’t my point. But seeing as you can read my mind, i’ll let you field my questions now

You have smokes and flashes, use them.yes but when just about everyone on both teams have a awp it is no longer a normal map its a awp map if all you like to do is awp every round and map then there are server out there that cater to that side of the game also . But the needs of the many over rule the needs of a few and sense people have had issues with it for so long now it better than anytime to take a stand about it and restricted it to a more level playing field for all and keeps people in the server instead of having them leave because they got tired of getting awped so much
December 30, 2008 at 11:07 pm #67448lockEm
ParticipantNo, when just about everyone has an awp, its still the same map, just with awps. If you can’t adjust to how people are playing, you shouldn’t be playing. The only time this would ever be a problem is on aztec and cbble. If the entire team has awps on nuke, you don’t go outside. If they all have awps on dust2, don’t float around in mid or push long A. You have smokes and flashes, use them wisely. Don’t just waste them.

But it is not.
How long have you all been playing? exactly.
You shouldn’t assume everyone who comes to play should know something like this, because everyone doesn’t NOR needs to know this.
And those servers you are all talking about, the ones with a butt-load of people who awp all the time, are also full of terrible terrible players, along with hackers, wallers, bigots, and racists. The point is to bring NEW players into the server. And having a server full of awpers does exactly what it is suppose to, it DRIVES people away. Guaranteed. I can’t tell you how many times I have seen people leave servers because the awpers were overwhelming. And don’t blow those people off just because “they don’t get it”. That isn’t how it works, if you want skilled players go play in a scrim. We want numbers people NUMBERS. I don’t think this is set in stone, this is just the server telling trying to respond to the problem of regulars awping to much and driving nubs away, they are welcome to you know. If the numbers drop in response to this, then it’s prolly a problem, but I don’t see it dropping.
People are calling others nub because they cant handle playing against a bunch of awpers, yet when those people get their awps taken away, they cry like little babies because they can’t kill like they use too. Hypocritical no? Here is a little taste of your own medicine you awp *edited*s: “if you can’t use any other weapon besides the awp, you shouldn’t be playing.”
