The Aug has always been a very user-friendly option but in cs 1.6 the half sniper was a little bit different you see even tho this gun had a scope there was no way to ADS at this time instead it had a zoom function that increased visibility by 1.5x not to mention until cs source the cod gun would cost $3500 and there was no reason to buy it but that will all change in the early stages of CSGO in 2014 valve would completely break the aug giving it no recoil and an increased rate of fire that will make it the most op gun the game has ever seen however  it would get nerfed a week later and the Aug would not have in the gun meta until 2018 where its combination of high first shot accuracy when scoped very low recoil and price only costing 50 more dollars than the M4A4 would make it one of the best guns in cs
