I'm not a big fan of awps either... I'm a deag ak guy.

Awps are fine. It's nice because most people use them so in scrims they suck cause they have to use a m4/ak.

I've been getting really good with the awp, just because the last CAL team I was on for eXg I ended up getting the awp and couldn't hit s**t. So yea. They are a necessary weapon in competition. :s
