Ok guys, not to brag, but i am an experienced awper. your tactics only win by luck or how scared the awper is of being shot.
>>>>Strafing is actually basically the only you got going for you, buuuuut, most snipers will find a point to where you are going when you strafe back into a direction, catching you right in the middle of your strafe pattern, so cut your path off early and run the other.
>>>>Remember running from an awp is like playing football. dont hesitate to stop (only long enough to make him THINK aobut pulling the trigger, and then run in another direction, effectively making him lose his concent tration and wasting precious seconds to get the next bullet ready.
>>>>I would use an ak/ deagle to pick most awpers off, and i have about a 95% success rate with each weapon. remember, try to play games with his head. when he misses his first shot, try lobbing a grenade at his location to get him frustrated ( he wants you to die, not himself) and he'll try to fire a fast shot (happens about 90% of awpers, trust me i see some of the better clans in CAL im falling for my anti awp tactics and losing because i get em pissed off

>>>>buuuuut downside is, the awper will soon get his concentration back (if hes any good) and start firing with a little more precision. and
>>>>Remember this: always try to nail a shot close to his head, if you can nail his head ( with any weapon) his head will be thrown back with a groaning sound and his aim will be WAY OFF. POUNCE ON THIS OPPORTUNITY.
>>>>Run like a madman and spray like a ho when your in range, its a shame i see that people nail the head(an almost fatal shot with most decent damage weapons, headshot kill with most rifles if he aint wearing helmets) and not go for the opportunity for kill.
>>>>oh and another thing helmets protect against all headshots except sniper bullets, you still hear the clang when a rifle round hits your head with a helmet on.)
Hope This Helps, ill try to get some more stuff in when i can, just need to pick off some more awpers..lol
Small Update:
Some awpers like to use jump tactics(well most likely ALL)
1. Try to hide somewhere when he is about to land his jump
2. when you see them jumping...dont stare..SHOOT. remember
2-3 round bursts from a rifle (around 3-4 shots on a pistol, you can spray with SMG)
3.Some awpers (most of them are ok at awping) will instead use a run-to-walk-to crouch and fire routine. they strafe out, slow it into a walk for a second, then crouch and fire. THIS IS DEADLY ACCURATE. KILL THEM WHILE THEY ARE RUNNING OUT. if you cant, confuse the awper, run around, pretend your having a seizure, tell him not shoot you because you have epilepsy, it doesnt matter what you do as long as you survive.
4. when awpers run back under cover, shoot the wall/window they come out of. remember to keep tunnel vision on the last location of the awper, but to take close detail of anything surrounding it ex. a small plateau, another window, a small overhang. awpers will use and abuse camp spots to rack up the kills
5. if you are forced to change your location and explore the map to try and find the awper, try to pretend that you are camping behind a wall. try to throw a grenade and let it fail, make sure the awper can think that you are still in the same area, and then you trek out (You MUST WALK AWPERS WILL HEAR YOU they always crouch and walk themselves.
6. If you are doing number 5, pay close attention to corners, dark spots and ceiling fixtures people can hang from ex. boxes that can be jumped on, some thing accesible by ladder. don't explore these dark spots try to move around your crosshair and Get the enemy id that you see when you put your crosshair over an enemy or a friend.
To make things easier on your eyes, type hud_centerid 1 into your console and the id of the player will appear under their head, letting you find out who is there faster.
More Updates Till EVERY awper is dead (cept me
