i think there should be secure variable, something like sv_secure 1, for example, i've had rcon from server that wasn't secure, owner of the server didn't set server to be secure and i couldn't find the way to make it secure using rcon..so it would be great to have something like that.

things that could help the balance AWP:

add muzzle sway/fade-in to the scoped weapons. more fade-in/swap for larger and heavier guns. or take a few steps/jump and loose your zoom.



i think CS needs a 1 shot=1 kill weapon. it makes people use cover and other "tactics". that 1 shot kill should be harder to get though.



server variable sv_realscope

Good mailbag, except I didn't like how rizzuh forgot to make fun of that noob .skywalke|2 for thinking purchasable wasn't a word and saying he was making it one when he used it.

My thoughts on the AWP are that: for one, arm shot should = death because wtf, are you gonna use that arm to aim with a gun even though its basically a mangled piece of man(and woman)flesh dangling from yuor bloodied body.. uhm no, so either way you are dead, why walk around waving to people with your good arm unless you intend on being a human shield for Mr. (1)Player/(2)BaitMasterBob



Also.. I can understand the leg shot not killing.. I was also pissed at this change at first mainly because I was a very big awp whore but then I saw how practical it was.. Some stupid new person at the game who most likely aims EXTREMELY low at the ground happens to double zoom on my crotch and shoots.. Good bye babies but at least I still have a chance at gutting his ass.



Another thing is that it makes the game hard. Who likes games that anyone dumb fuck with a mouse and a keyboard can be God like at in a matter of seconds? With the AWP, it forces you to adapt, to check corners, to expect the unexpected (therefore making it expected unless you werent expecting it and just checking out of habit [which is almost always a good thing]) and to learn how to guess the peoples next move (COUGH GOGO CHECKER GUIDE KTHX COUGH) and use that to your advantage. Overall, I think it really does make people have to work to get to the top and have the "most super ejeetest mad combo-wombo fuck u in the ass" skills possible and for some people.. thats what they want in the game. You could argue with me saying thats pretty goddamn DM, but if they are working to be that good along with their teammates so that they can form an ultra awesome A-Team that "duck jumps three times so they can automatically turn into a Jesus that repels bullets"



Anyway, AWP makes you leeter and better @ cs :)

Anyway, yes, the AWP takes a certain amount of skill. However, it's relatively easy to become proficient with the AWP, and a tallented player with an AWP can be nearly unstoppable in many situations when faced even with players of above-average skill who are using normal weapons. This is not the case when everyone is using normal weapons.

First of all, I didn't balance the game. I play it. Second, I've never played a game with you. I'm good, but I can say that a talented AK'er (I hate 'em) is unstoppable as well. There are certain people that I just can't kill.

No, the whole point of the game isn't point and click. It's run around, position, dodge, point, and then click-click-click-click and watch multiple bullets slam into your enemy as you track their movements, taking them down. Other than headshots, all other weapons give your opponent at least a split second to react, which lets your enemy have a small chance, which makes it fun for him (even if he ends up dying). Suddenly dying from an AWP shot is about as much fun as having the server admin slay you randomly, and for many players, there's almost nothing they can do against either one. So by AWP whoring, you end up screwing over the entire other team's chances of having fun while playing the game, all for your own selfish delight. I see that as pretty low, personally.

Well, why don't they just take out sniping all together? I mean, that's what you really are mad at aren't you? I'mna venture into the argument of gameplay vs. realism here for a minute. I think a sniper has a place in this game. What if I was of the (crazy) opinion that there shouldn't be rushers. Or that if you were rushing, you could only do it with medium skill. Why? Just because bum rushers often get to me before I have a chance to buy (I don't use buy scripts) and settle myself in with my team? No. Again, I didn't balance the game.



I'm sure I'd be a great scouter, but it would take a whole lot longer to kill someone. I hate the sound too. It sounds like an air gun. Besides, I think you all need the little worry about turning around that corner. If you didn't worry about getting pegged in the head right as you run around, you wouldn't be as frightened. Plus, everything would be a dodge-dodge-shoot match. Who wants that?

If you want raw, unadulterated power, go play a single player game. Most of the rest of us enjoy a good (but not impossible) challenge and plenty of finesse.

You act like I ruined the game for you. Did I cheat? No. Did I play the game as it was meant to be played? Yes. Did I play it well? Yes.



The only real time I consider myself a bastard is as a T on the top of militia's' house. That's so much fun (read: cheap). I can take out the entire front house. Then after about 2 rounds, I tell my teammates to watch the sewers, and sure enough, the CT's get mowed over. That's being cheap and abusive. I'm just talking about sniping, where I have to concentrate on a few spots and leave myself open in tons of others. The good games are ones where my teammates guard me so that nobody can come from behind, and I can come from the front.



Do I use teamwork? Yes. Why such hate then?
