Wha? When I play and crouch with an Awp, I'm just more prone to get shot, but maybe 'cause I'm a n00b, lol. Now I stand, stop, fire, strafe .
I don't stay crouched all the time, just crouch for a sec. then i move to another place. Of course that staying at the same place is stupid, what iI wanted to say is that crouching with awp can be useful.
---EDIT---
You didnt play against snipers taht are so good, u just didnt know what to do, for example if u come from the double doors in aztec from the ts side and a ct with an awp waiting on the other side wouldnt it be stupid to just run thro the double doors to the stones on ur left...if u would have jumped u would have dodged a bullet
No man, i'm not kidding. Even if i did that iI wouldn't survive and jumping makes it even easier to hit. When I said good waper I meant some of the best of my country, and my country is big and there are a lot of CS players.
About crouching, I think uyou can't stand all the time, you have to crouch even if it for a split second some times cuz it can help you avoid another sniper's shot or it can help you hit somebody quicker. When at the bridge in de_aztec I always wait crouched, then I take shot and move. Being crouched there makes me less exposed to a quickshot because i'm lower than the guy would expect. And hitting Q twice is not a problem. I crouch sometimes because awp is all about positioning. If you have a good position
it can be nearly imposible to the other guy to dodge your first shot. I also adjust my zoom_sensitivity_ratio, I use it at 1.25 or 1.3 or even 1.4 depending on the mouse.
I think a good idea for fighting awpers is listening to their steps
because I can predict their moves( I use s_eax 1).
