hello everyone..anyway to business, i believe as do a lot of other that the autosnipers need to be banned from the server because they are so cheap as in all you have to do is hold down the trigger and aim in the general area of the person to get a headshot, there is no skill involved with those guns, they are so random that even behind a wall you can be hit by them..they are extremely annoying and it would make a better gaming atmosphere if they were gone, the awps is fine its just those autosnipers!

well, its a nice thought, but one thing about the armory is that it has never banned weapons.. so you have a better chance convincing valve.. and smokes and fb can eliminate them

plus a well shot awp will take them any day

 

but welcome to the forums

Autosniper rifles should not get banned. If valve found this gun so cheap and ruining gameplay they will get rid of it. Also you shouldnt call players "Noobs" since they use it (Im not saying you do but ive seen it done by players). If you are getting killed by them all the time that means you should work on your skills instead of bash the weapon. I dont see the armory banning this weapon anytime soon (correct me if I am wrong).

 

 

 

 

Mr

the armory will not, nor will ever, ban any weapon. armory policy. so the best weapon stays

Is that you G...the best weapon?

here to stay baby!

Uhhh, don't be so sure this weapon isn't banned or limited in some way.

 

I asked Spasm and others on the server to post their thoughts earlier today, as I caught wind that we MIGHT be considering limiting it.

 

One autosniper by itself is not that big of a deal... but when you face a full team of them defending their objective on long range maps like Aztec and Italy, it becomes a bit of a nuisance.

 

I personally wouldn't mind it limited to just 1 a team, but that's up to the rest of you all. I don't want to see it banned outright.

FB's and smoke all the way. If the enemy go campathon with autos, you simply load up on smoke and FBs. It is an easy counter strategy, its just that ppl are too lazy to try and cook up some team work.

yea the smokes and the FB's can make a HUGE difference.

Like in Italy, if you are CT just smoke the entire tunnel, now the auto's are useless. and if they shoot you can see their flash and that way you can shoot them with a scout or so. they wont know what hit them

But indeed, 15 people with an autosniper is very annoying. So i wouldnt mind limiting the weapon to 3 max. (1 is to low imho)

I wouldn't say ban it, but limiting it seems good.

there is no skill involved with those guns

there is, however, skill involved in countering them. this became a big issue in regular CS. I see no problem guns are guns, if you can beat them thats too bad. just live with it. before you know it your team will be doing it to the other just the same. Leave all the weapons as they are, at most limit it to 5 per team. oh and auto snipers dont exist... what does exist is the ever beautiful HK-G3 and the Sig 550

While you're at it, can you ban the AK and M4? Their combined kills out number the combined auto-snipe kills 4 to 1. Clearly these weapons are too dangerous to use as well.

 

Hey wait a second... scout and AWP have more kills then auto-snipes... better ban those too.

 

There is no need to ban auto-snipes, because their cost and weaknesses can be overcome... Awp, smoke, flash... patience.... all these things can overcome the autosnipes when used correctly.

I know I am Not even in TAC but i say you SHOULD NOT ban them....Its Part of the game....If you dont like it then dont play it...When i used to play SPearhead i used to hate it when they benned rockets even thogh i never use them...Its part of the game.

 

 

......ITS PART OF THE GAME!!!

^ ditto

i guess i've been away to long. what's this autosnipe thing? seems like a new excuse from someone that gets sniped to much. my suggestion, duck

 

on limiting, yea, its rather annoying to have a team full of snipers. FB are more effective than smoke though, since once that's thrown, ur both screwed since neither one can see. It would be good to limited m4's and ak's too but to maybe 3 or 4 per team depending on the size.

I would vote for limiting but not banning. Italy is a good example cts vs 10 ts and they all have awps and autosnipes is nearly impossible for cts to have a chance. I think it would help balance out the maps and make for a far better time if we limited them. Just my thoughts.

limiting or banning weapons seems to me a bit silly.unless there's some sort of bug ,or real problem related to said weapon.just cuz some players are "tired" of dying a certain way,or by a certain weapon.i mean if we here at TAC did ban or limit weapons every time some asked us to,we'd have no weapons left to choose from. :wink:

I dont think that we shouldd ban any weapons, it seta a dangerous precident, cuz you could make the same argument about AWP's, or scouts or any weapon for that matter

hey lets ban the famas the m82 the svd and the m79 from the firearms server too! sounds like an excellent idea!

i think limiting them would be best i don't like them but still limit them 2 per team are something like that

Be nice or be gone Jimmy!

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. There's no reason to ban/limit them at all. There are plenty of servers that have them banned, play on those. We're killing our policies if we ban/limit them. The only reason (Besides the enviornment) I play on the TAC server is because there are no tactics or weapon rules. Banning them would kill what we strive for. (A fun gaming enviornment where players can play how they wish, without smacktards or excessive cussing)

First, I wish everyone to note that the biggest problem those in favor of banning/limiting have described has nothing to do with the AS being unbalanced. I hear you say that it is unbalanced on maps that are... you guessed it... "unbalanced." What you should be decrying is those mappers who did not consider this issue during development.

 

Additionally, I feel that banning any part of gameplay will likely be seen as hypocracy on TA's part. TA has gone years being the butt of jokes, taunted, cursed, etc. because of this rule as it applied to Firearms. For those that argue that CS:S is a different game, I must disagree... Firearms was harder to defend against since it was/is not a professionally produced project (Mazor et al. I do not imply in ANY way you are not professionals, you truly are to make a quality product like FA... I guess I mean professionally funded)... Since CS:S is Valve owned and operated, their budget should allow ...nay... require rigorous testing. If Valve allows it, who are we to ban it?

just limiting them is a way to ruin gameplay if valve find that it is ruining game play they will deal with it untill then use FB and Smoke. DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
