great tips

try to stay staple and crouched or whatever you can to not be seen and stable and move mouse slowly with person if they are moving

awp is mainly reflex, and if your close range, dont be an idiot and try to get that crazy noscope, switch to pistol. your pistol should be deagle or p228 in my experiences. also, practice in dms with awp, where you really have to use your reflexes. if your in the open and trying to kill a guy, never crouch, awp will still have the same aim standing up. also, you dont have to hit the person on the skin, you can just hit him a few feet behind or infront of him while hes running. hope this helps

Look the difference between the AWP and Scout is that the awp is more powerful of a gun and easier to use when scoped in, but the Scout requires much more accuracy and doesn't do as much damage on a half body shot. With the scout in hand you also run faster, and it is much easier to noscope. Noscoping with an awp is near impossible unless its luck, but noscoping with a scout is easy to do once you get a feel for where the center of your screen is.

CAL players use awp because they are serious, and intend on honing their awping skills as opposed to "scouting in general skills". The awpers don't lead (by design in strategy), and when they run or move they usually have out their pistol. With the awp out they are usually ready to take a shot and probably scoping in and laying back. You however won't see them crouch but they do sidestrafe. Sidestrafing requires moving back and forth, but when they are moving left, they tap right to stop their body and take the shot, then move right and tap left to stop and take the shot. Don't shoot while moving, you lose all your accuracy.

People in pubs PRACTICE with the scout because it requires more accuracy and that hones your ability to scout with either gun. The better you get with the scout the much easier and way better you will be with the awp. These CAL guys will be just as good with the scout because they've already learned how to use these weapons well.

The only time you will see them crouch (and its not often) is if they are in a hidden area waiting for someone to pass through into their line of sight. They don't even do that often because as someone said the gun is powerful enough anyway, all the crouching does is cut back on recoil a bit. If you nick someone with awp they will more than likely die anyway.

AWP and Scout each have their advantages, but Scouting helps you develope faster because you have to be accurate or you are only good for about 60hp damage, if they are rushing you, you are probably getting owned if you don't either A get a headshot, or B they have already taken damage.

Hope this helps,

EDIT: As far as pistols go the USP and glock are also great guns. Close range or long the burst fire on Glock at the head is an instant kill if you are accurate, and the USP fires quickly and can also kill in 1 hit to the head. Practice with either of these guns and get decent and afterwords using the Deag is easy because it is so powerful too.

Staying calm, getting comfortable with whatever setting your mouse sensitivity is at, and learning not to jerk the mouse and to take your time on your shots will improve not only your accuracy but also your reaction time. Using these other guns rather than the AWP and Deag all the time will take you to a higher level, and when you go to use these guns afterwords you will be like the guys you see 20+k / 2d in pubs because they have already taken the time to learn to be much more smooth.

Just so you guys know, the "AWP" is actually an AWM, standing for Arctic Warfare Magnum. And yes, I am a realism freak =P. I don't use the AWM often, but I know that if you alternate going left and right extremely fast (the outcome in thirdperson seems like you need to piss), you get close-enough accuracy as if you were standing still, and it's a great way to confuse enemies and dodge devastating shots to the head. I've seen people in cs_office do it many times. Do not crouch. With most guns, crouching has positive effect, but not for the AWM. Crouching AWMers have slow movements, standing and crouching isn't much of an accuracy issue, and crouching reveals much of your knees and shoulder. Noscoping will not get you anywhere. I tested the AWM on de_dust2 on noscoping, and here is the situation: I spray-painted a bullseye on a wall and make an accurate shot right in the center, then unscoped. At medium range I unscoped, and shot directly at the center of the bullseye without moving the crosshairs. The noscoped shot didn't even make it inside the bullseye. Also, the AWM will get you hated on cs_office servers.

If you are on half magnification, I quickly pull out my knife or pistol for a split second before changing back to the sniper. And TJ Rocks, I only ever use AWPs if necessary and although AWPs are more powerful than scouts, scouts are more challenging and prove a CS:S player to be more talented than an AWPer. AWPs are really easy to kill with but that doesn't neccessarily make them more fun to use.

LOL!! The real pros use the awp cuz in matches, they are better. And the scout is rly shitty since that update back in 2006. I can beat u with a scout, not scoping, from 40 yards, easy.

When the guy was talking about the scope to get out of it al i do is swicth to my pistol real fast then back it works for me but. About using the AWP only used that to snipe with its probably a two or one shot kill for it.But when picking it use the deagle as the side wep.

hehe they used to call it the awm but awp in particular satnds for police version artic warfare police magnum thats why they call it the awp and if your good no other gun can stop you.

Except an M3 to the back of the head at point blank range. That's pretty hard to stop with an AWP.

Only a hacker could stop that.

rofl this is true but what if the awper is wearing leet sauce headphones and heard u breathing a mile away?

Crouching while awping is not needed... Jumping and awping is workable if you know how to do it and if the situation is needed for it. an important thing is.. Dont DO NOT run around with your awp out. I am the awper in our Clan and I have to say I get around the same amount of pistol kills as awp, so practice your hand gun skills ALOT aswell. You can stand and awp just as easily as crouching except that crouching takes more time and its a waist, besides maybe making you harder to hi/see. Make sure your not moving while shooting. And as many of the others have said, Dont rush your shot just to get it off, You might only have 1 shot and it HAS to count. and you can switch from pistol/Knife/nade easily and if you are use to it you will pretty much know where your cross airs are when you scope. Quickscoping is very easy and a good way of killing people (only if you are good at it tho)

Oh and... Learn to use your nades and pistol. In CalM and past we use our pistols for kills almost as much as rifles, And nade the shit out of everything(with perfection)...

i need some awping tips i just cant get my head around it. plz help

some things i use

- lead your corners. dont aim straight at the corner
- try to set urself up so if u do miss ur shot, you can hide behind cover (around the corner)
- i only use half zoom for most shots, especially outside nuke. but then again i play with my mouse sensitivity really high, so i flick shot alot quicker.
-if ur moving when you go to shoot, i.e jumping around the corner or something, hold down the opposite strafe key at the same time to kind of drop you down instead of carrying your momentum.
-pick usual awp-spots (big garage outside left corner in nuke)
-no-scope if ur a real g!

and yeah scouts are harder to kill with scoped, but awps are harder no-scoped.
