Awps on the new server.

So, those of you who play with me on our wonderful CEVO/stock rotation server will know that I rarely use any other gun than the awp. As much as I love the gun and it greatness, I think there should be a restriction implemented so it can't be bought until there is 10 people in the server for the standard 5 on 5 play. My reasoning is that this a new server, and thus not as popular as the older one. Quite often it is just HBC, Budgy and myself duking it out for a couple of maps until a few people join up. While the server is still in its unpopular phase, I notice often we get people join up, die once from an awp and immediately leave. This increases our difficulty of keeping the server populated before the peak hours. As much as it breaks my heart, I have to speak out against my gun until the allotted population requirement. Just a suggestion. Feedback?
 
KILL ZIIIIIIMMM!!!!!

I join because of awps. I hate the gun and you will almost never see me kill anyone with it. But I like the fact that the game is played the way it is meant to be, awp , auto-snipers and all. I stick to my ak when possible :P

In fact, it doesn't matter to me.

Zim, you're right that when the server isn't full people tends to leave when killed by AWP (I did it myself a lot of times) but as Ab says; people joining need to be ready for those snipers and if not... well, they're in trouble!

main reason i don't play much on the server. personally feel it takes no skill to get a kill with an awp.

i use the awp on occasion, i am glad that our server doesn't become a total awpfest like a lot of servers i have played on in the past. That was one of the main reasons i started playing on TD, because it was no awp. Awp night was cool, i was on one of my many breaks from cs when TD dropped it. I'm glad to see we have an awp server, it gives another gameplay. ...you like it or you don't... Maybe we could restrict it to no more than 2 awps per team. I have never seen a mod like you are talking about zim, Even if it i did exist, it might do more damage to the serer for those who are joining for the awp and can't use it due to limited people. What the server needs is more support from our community. Say when a group of people who play together on the pub all time, see that the pub is filling up. They should move to the vanilla server, so that it can populate. I feel that if we don't get more community support from our regulars on this server, it will end up like CD and the GG server that all bit the dust. We tried a mirror of TD less than a year ago: C(ichago)D|. The server was good at times but was not a self starter like the TD pub. Anywho now that i went off the topic a bit, don't change the awps, it's fine the way it is. :)

I think this is the longest post i have ever left and it might not make any sense, derp

limit 1 per team till more than 8 ppl. Side note you guys who are regs on the server make the choice to awp, dont awp and practice taking down the awper with smokes and flashes. My rule of thumb is not to awp till a) teams are stacked against my team or b) Ive been awped 3-4 times and ill even warn the other team that hells about to be unleashed on them ...!admin ban! :rockon:... jk :P

Why I love the server with no restrictions. I find that playing on a server with no awps makes me just spray like crazy. It takes fast reaction for awp, but a hit nearly anywhere is kill, which is why I hate the gun. Takes a lot more skill to scout :P

I agree completely. There should be some sort of restriction when it comes to AWPs and Autos.

I like the fact that nothing has been changed with the server rules, aside from added maps. I'm thinking what HBC said is the best way to have consistent populations in the server.

If you dont like the awps, theres the regular pub. I dont see the issue.

Many players (including myself) play on the stock server because of awps.

I dont like playing large custom maps, and from what ive seen its in one half the time.

tough luck?

edit: no one forces you to use an awp on the stock server.

if its dying to an awp thats the issue... well then, awp yourself.
