If the score was 13-2, and your on the 2 side, who likes coming out their spawn with a meagle deagle and then getting BLASTED by an awp the second you take a step out of spawn? Not only are you losing, but not being able to play for almost the next 3 minutes is very heartbreaking. These are the people who cry AWP vote. If you look at the at the flip perspective, when your winning by a large margin and get AWPed, it doesn't feel that bad because your winning by so much. So have a little integrity and not AWP if your winning by a lot should be a general non-spoken consensus among regulars. If the score is close though, AWP away. Again, keep in mind that the game implemented the AWP gun for a reason. Read iLLusion's guide on how to beat the AWP. Every gun can be beat. Even though AWP is indeed powerful, if they are getting rushed and put into a close range battle, your Machine Gun should tear them apart. Personally, I dont mind the AWP that much to QQ about it, since in my eyes its like a free kill if I can get up close, theres a reason why there are things like smoke and flash in the game. So really it's all about perspective. As long as you don't AWP when your up 14-0 then its fine, no one will cry, at the same time if the score is close and theres like 3 AWPERS around the map. Flash smoke = GG. I hope this post can allievate some of the conflict that's going on. It's fine to see a debates on the forum, but i dont like seeing personal attacks on other people =P. Let's try to be friendly here at TPG

I'm not focusing on the awp votes in circumstances you've stated. I'm saying when its 4th round (buy round, when both teams should have a fair amount of guns in hand), and one team is winning 3-0 (pistol round, first eco round, 2nd eco round. eco rounds are the save type rounds where you try to save up money for the buy round), the awp should be in fair play to counter the larger amounts of AK47's or M4A1's. Though I FULLY agree with you when it's at times where a team is leading by a large amount and continues to awp. Those rounds are incredibly heartbreaking, they make you want to leave.

From personal experience, I can guarantee anyone, WITH PROOF, that the awp can be a MAJOR game changer on T side WHILE LEADING THE RUSH!!! Yes!!! An awper LEADING A RUSH!!! Once (if), I get unbanned from the TPG servers again, I'll record a demo and post it up on youtube to show such skills.

I really enjoy the idea of having an Awp Appeal Form, which would deem you smart enough to hold such a game changing weapon.

And I know that MANY people HATE me when I'm on TPG servers just because of my awp'ing! It's disgusting to be ridiculed about using a gun just because it helps my team... The TPG servers have been cleaned out of the "pro-awpers" because they're not exactly "welcomed" in this community. So the awp votes are 90% always agreeing to restrict the awp/auto.
