I think people who bitch about AWP are fucking stupid. If you think it's overbalanced, then use it. If you don't want to use it because you say it's "gay" or something else to the effect, then that's your prerogative.

For instance, CT's can bitch that the AK, which CT's cannot buy, is overbalanced because it does too much damage and costs too little money. I disagree with this, but it could be a valid argument. T's can bitch that the colt, which T's cannot buy, is overbalanced because it is so much more accurate than the AK. I disagree with this, but it could be a valid argument. But if you're not going to use a gun that everyone who plays the game has access to, then don't bitch about it.

What is it they say about silence being golden?
