Which Sniper Rifle to Buy?

The DSR or AMW? What are the pros and cons of each of them?

Jagdtraum · February 2012

I prefer AWM over DSR because it's more practical for me. DSR stays zoomed in when you fire so it's nice to have it in TDM matches or Temple Ruins Escape mode to repel off hordes of enemies coming at you but AWM performs there fine as well. I find AWM way more useful in SnD matches because it zooms out after each shot which increases your awareness of the surrounding and also you pull it out faster and reload faster.

Dextreme · February 2012

It will mostly depend on the map and playing style. I use the DSR more than the AWM, but when I go up against someone who is really good with the AWM, I have a tougher time with the DSR as they are bouncing around.

Dupess · February 2012

Awn IMO.

Msg2s.

ChickenWrap · February 2012

AWM.Much easier to play with it,but dsr is quite good for tdm and gm imo.

DSR forever

i use the DSR-1 D.C.

believe me its harder to use than AWM (dont blame me....couse you can pick it up and get easy lucky kills and say its a noob gun)

about the stay zoomed at target haha you should quickscope...press Q to change the weapon fast and quit the zoom

AWM:
- everyone have it ( every noob and every pro -.-)
DSR:
-rare weapon (not that easy to use couse of its recoil when moving)

i love my great DSR-1 D.C. oh yeah! beating all that AWM freaks

aR_zona · February 2012

I suggest that you get the AWM.

BadLT · February 2012

Dsr , gonna get it soon

gangsternerd · February 2012

DSR-1 is a camper gun, good for long range popping heads in prison because the zoom is doubled on the first click.
AWM is more a pro gun, u have to learn QS, JS, and drag for AWM.

The DSR's zoom isn't exactly "doubled" when one is in-scope. It's less than the second zoom on the AWM, but more than the first zoom on the AWM.

KryxisAlpha · February 2012

I actually like the DSR a little bit better than AWM, since I play long range maps, which the zoom is more helpful (double clicking takes the same time and killing someone with one zoom) but it's a bit pricey.

i think you're a bit mad! i know you wanted to answere my post....
but! you can camp with every gun kid! and the zoom isnt doubled but something like between the one of AWM (maybe a bit less) and its much more fun with quickscoping or even hardscope...its not illegal it only makes an easy target of yourself

How am i mad? im trying to give u suggestions dude. what i mean by camping is, staying in one place, aim through the crack. I used DSR, in ship Escape, through the crack on GR side, 5 multi kill...

iHatePros · February 2012

Awm all the way, It seems to be alot faster with reloading. Even tho DSR-1 has a faster fire rate. If your a no scope person like me, DSR-1 has easier pin pointing with that. Although If your a quick scope person Awm is the one for you.

ImPauldean · February 2012

DSR is by far the more difficult gun out of the two. Both have some pro's and con's, and both have different situations that are better for the specific gun.

Pro's of AWM

Light
Easier to QS according to some
Fast switch
Farther zoom

Pro's of DSR

Extremely fun gun to use
Easy to hold sites on for multiple people coming
Scope is in between awm, and could be beneficial to some

Imo, which isn't biased since I used both for an extended period of time, the AWM is better.
However, there's not a huge difference between the guns, and neither of them are "OP" like some of the awful players will call them.

It comes down to preference and also where/who you're playing with.

Great, then the DSR is beter than AWM if it gets you more multi kills. I fail to see ANY logic whatsoever in your illogical ramblings.

Are you high?

With DSR:
Scope in
Keep clicking
Profit

With AWM:
Scope in
shoot
Re-scope or switch to knife and switch back
Shoot

Seems to me that the DSR shoots faster.

I don't blame him, after all his sentence was "AWM You Can shoot More Fast".

TeleTubby95 · February 2012

I had dsr some time ago but i really didnt like it at all and now its sold. I think you should deffinetly buy awp.

One_Legend · February 2012

I would choose the AWM since you can quick scope and the reload + loading time is way faster.

You can QS with the DSR also. Please explain.

iCtrl · February 2012

I suggest the AWM, but you should try both before buying.

Tecumtha · February 2012

buy both.

That's why I like the DSR

Lazy_Genius · February 2012

M700 is sufficient for a sniper, I suggest you buy a M12s, best gun in the game.

imdaBeaSt14 · February 2012

best gun in ffa is dragonov and is absolutely my favorite but for the other modes go with awm easiest sniper to use in the game.

DSR-1
-Stays in Scope
-Semi-automatic
-Same power as AWM
-Reload/Draw time/Scope in time is a bit longer than the AWM
-1.5X zoom
-Best sniper to no scope with
Best used for holding down a big area thats narrow/ camping against a lot of people who are rushing (due to the semi auto shots)

AWM
-Bolt Action Sniper
-Same power as DSR-1. 1 Shot to everywhere except legs where it does 80ish
-Quick Scope abilities are great.
-2 zooms (1X 2X)
-No scope isn't that great

Great for people who rush and QS and quick switch etc.
Overall better than DSR IMO. Depends on the situation.

DSR = Camping, Holding A/B Long in SnD, In Escape mode, against many rushers

AWM = Every other situation like Rushing and Quick Scoping

TH_Reisen · February 2012
