To me anyone with an awp is a tank while anyone with scout is a ninja.

EDIT: ahh yes anyone with a deagle is a ninja-tank

Wait, I never knew bullets had speed in game.

ur nub with sniper <3

AWP over scout anyday.

In competitive gameplay, you need that power that the AWP provides.

mind the doubleposting.

if turtills realized he was coming to our server for a WAR not to slut for us I woulda showed you my o for owesome sniping skills =O

I know the benefits of AWP but I`ve never been so good with it, nowhere near as with scout.
Being able to move faster, buy it with way more cheaper price and a little faster reloading time with scout is handy but if it`s true clan war, I wouldn`t take the chance of facing AWP with better reactions. So my final statement, I`ll think about this later, ok? =)

3in1? Awesome... I had only 2in1 3 or 4 times ^^

I used scout for a while a couple of months ago and I preferred it to AWP, but I've definately changed my mind. In matches doorbanging is an amazing advantage. I find that with an AWP I have a certain flow which for some reason I lack when using a scout.

It's makes me feel more secure when using it.

The downside to the AWP is that on a lot of nub servers people complain about you using AWPs. :(

1. Who needs to fire more than 10 shots in a professional game? No need to reload...
And after each shot it isn't faster, you can easily quick switch with an awp.

2. If you are playing against a decent player they'd instantly know where you are.

3. The headshot argument is moot. Not even professional players hit the enemy in the head every single time. It is easier to shoot a player in the chest to kill them, the awp outshines the scout by a mile in this case.

4. Less recoil? If you mean that you can noscope or run and shoot easier with it, sure that much is true, but why would you want to? The snipers role in a team is to be a strong steady player not the first player in.

I can point and shoot anywhere on the map with an AWP and kill someone.

It's like Jesus guides my bullets to an enemies head.

I know a large amount of players that are relatively shit with every weapon but the awp. How do they even manage to save up for it in the first place. Trust me, money is an important factor.

I think playing the Scout requires more skill, you are forced to aim for the head and keep running, because I prefer running while sniping. I still think the SIG550 is better, but that's not the issue.

If it could shield from a awp bullet it would be so great add to the game.

AWP is better than the Scout hands down. The running speed really doesn't matter at all, the AWP is stronger yet does require skill as well. I hate it when people say Scout takes more skill than the AWP, but then again if the AWP is stronger - why even bother using a Scout? Of course, it costs less, but it's a lot weaker and I can ensure you that you're not even gonna stop an eco B rush on d2 with it.

Being honest and noobish, I'm saying an AWP for a surf map, as long as you dont camp like a [insert insulting word here]. But, a Scout for a normal map.

AWP is for clan wars, Scout is for showoffs.

The source engine has dynamic bullets. Look closely and you can see them moving around you, especially in HL2.

Well, those dynamic bullets aren't very special, use the AR2 (Pulse Rifle, in HL2), it's easy to see, but they aren't much more than yellow lines/stripes.

The awp takes major skill.

Actually, the awp and scout take the same skill... Anyone can run around shooting a gun, and hope to hit the target. But, it takes skilled people to be able to get that quick shot, for the kill. The awp, and the scout are the same. One on one, i think the scout would win, if the scout(er) can jump shoot, jump Fast. The awp would win if he just has to aim at one spot, and shoot.

Aren't you all forgetting a little thing called skill?
I play on servers with 0 autos and 0-1 awp restriction.

I believe bullets are hit-scan in CSS, meaning it's like a lazer, not an actual projectile, as opposed to BF2.

Scout over AWP. Sure, the AWP is more powerful, but when it comes down to it, you only need that one shot out of either gun to kill the bad guys. I prefer scout for the speed and other timings - reload, draw, switch.

Depends entirely on the situation, for a pure sniper, the AWM is better, you'll get a hs most of the time anyway but no worries if you miss.

the scout is better for an adaptive sniper, or a long range supprt man, by which i mean someone who can move around and take pot shots.

all in all... AWM is better for defending, scout is better for supporting an assault.

Either way on d2 you can get a headshot and kill them through the door.... That's the main purpose in cal maps because if count who goes where , then you have the match set (strats)

Scouts can also do that. :D
