They were already gracious enough not to have one fucking shot from an AK47 through the heart kill you. 
Edit: also know that the new riot shield is APPARENTLY thicker than a fucking reinforced concrete wall. [ 01-15-2003: Message edited by: Kegwen. ]
It takes skill to maintain a decent average with any "real" gun, but the AWP is just "point, shoot, die." All three of those processes are pretty easy compared to everything somebody has to do to be good with any other gun; recoil management, precise aiming, proper use of crouching without being a sitting duck, etc. You just know something's wrong when folks run around using the AWP as a close-quarters combat weapon instead of a sniper rifle, and you can't deny the problem in that.
The M4 and AK are the bread-and-butter of CS. The AWP is just cheap. [ 01-15-2003: Message edited by: Suddar ]

Katrinity thought about the meaning of life:
Thats about as much as I'm good at in CS....the bait, bullet shield, sacrafice, etc ^.^
You'll get better. I'm still not that great and I can already maintain a fairly decent average against most players (DIE NWIST). Sometimes I just have bad days though.
That, is lame. Like a sniper rifle is going to fuck up my arm, or make it any more useless than a Deagle 50, or and Ak would.
Pinkie Toe? Dead.
Through the wall, and into my leg? Dead.
Thats why the AWP is lame. Tone it down to slightly more potent than the other sniper rifles, but just as accurate as it is now, and it'll be fine.
Now then, onto other weapons.
My choices... The AK, and M4, of course, The n00b Cannon (34|13 earlier, me happy) Elites, Scout, TMP.. all the underdog weapons. Because then you can laugh at the AWP whore you just long ranged with a candy ass weapon.
And the Knife. You wanna talk shit? Go play a KNIFE Whore instead.
And each time I look into the rifles page of the buy screen, I don't see anything that shortens to "AWP".. So I usually end up buying the automatic.
And dying anyway.
Actually, I think I hurt people more when I'm trying NOT to hit them.
I headshotted someone with a pistol by firing over their head.

D had this to say about dark elf butts:
Yes, because "all weapon fire completely" doesn't include the AWP.You are so funny.
Screw you.
Anyway, I like the scout because, unlike the AWP, it doesn't let everyone on the damn map know where you are. But Jesus, what's the point of that damn semi-auto sniper rifle? It has the accuracy of a machine gun.
I'm also a big TMP fan.

The coolest new thing is the Tactical Riot Shield, which is for Counter-Terrorists only. By using secondary fire, you prop the shield in front of you. If you duck, you will completely cover the front of your body from any bullet-related danger. If you move, however, much of your body will be out of the shield's cover leaving you open to attack. You buy the shield under the equipment menu for $1,000. It will work with any pistol (although I didn't try it with the Dual Berettas) In the press test I was invited to, the shield wasn't used that often. It still has a lot of potential, though. We'll see how popular it is once the BETA begins on Thursday

Good:Increased Glock damage slightly.
Bad:Changed so when bomb goes off, the player that planted the bomb gets three frags
Bad:Changed so live players don't see enemy deaths in the scoreboard.

Mr. Glass stumbled drunkenly to the keyboard and typed:
Waitasecond. I thought it was changed so that an AWP hit on a non-vital area wasn't instantly fatal.
Yeah, so did I. So much for that.
A few sample figures:
Energy (ft-lbs) at 100 yards:
.30-06 .338 Lapua
2350 4525 (!!)
Just to put that into perspective, here are the energies of the .50 BMG (12.7x99) at 1000 yards with an 800 grain bullet, muzzle velocity of 2650 feet per second, and the .338 Lapua discussed earlier.
.50 BMG .338 Lapua
7200 1682
Okay, so it doesn't help establish perspective, but it sure is interesting!
My tables fucked up. Darnit. [ 01-15-2003: Message edited by: Someone Else ]
