  • Well... It's not really wrong, but it's kinda dissapointing. No real skill fight. I personally have no respect to people camping (Unless it's GM, SnD and obviously N.M.) and after getting camped one time, I check all corners and try to chase and shoot down the camper to make him ragequit. Usually camping people fall pretty damn quick without the possibility of surprising/ambushing people.

    i would agree with you,but the fact that all campers QQ you wallhack because you know they will camp in the same corner again,thats the dissapointing thing.
  • So true. I used to know every map perfectly as I'm one rusher and often happen to hide out when shot at (Allready tried to oppose a Scar L with a p90?... Tactic is simple: Run) so I basically know all potential camp spots. And when one camping kid gets busted... Well, he's QQ'ing about his body being pierced with a major bullet wall.
  • camping is a strategy, they just get mad because they don't pay attention lol
  • I usually get mad even if i didn't missed the camper... I find it just a completely skill lacking "strategy" to actually wait on your ennemy and spray it in the back without any aiming anything needed. Now SnD and other "one life" based modes are an excuse. You don't respawn. Better keep it alive.
  • Camping is fine in S&D imho. But only if you're not hiding in the corner the whole game.
  • Camping for extended periods of time is bad as it shows lack of skill
    ambushing the stratergy of knowing an enemy will come, hiding and surprising them is perfectly acseptable and is mistaken for camping often than not

    voteban campers.

    So when the bombs down you just stand out in the open?

    Pro.
  • it is part of the game. be smart. think for yourself. what does the enemy think what you will do next. in some situations you must stay quiet and wait, in some you have to just rush, create situations which the enemy does not expect. dont do the same things every round. vary! be good in all departments, make your game tough to read.
    a sniper for example is pretty much dead if he moves around all the time....(against good rushing players...)

    for example if u have seen the movie hurt locker> the scene where they sit out in one place for hours and hours, sniping the enemy down...this is how it happens...

    those guys shouting camper, camper! at you, forget them they know nothing about the game.

    Now you mistaking waiting and camping dear sir. Waiting is hiding in an approach of an ennemy. Taking a reinforced position, highter ground in order to clear out the target/multiple targets. This is not Halo we're playing, we're not regenerating health so hiding and taking cover is common sence.

    Sniping is all other job. Altho I pretty much can use my AWM/Deagle-C combo as an advance pack, I still happen to chill out at one place providing support to allies.

    Now camping, is basically dumbly waiting for a target to arrive to shoot it down. After shooting, getting back in the corner and praying god that the next time target won't notice you because of knowing that the soldier have no chance of surviving in a fire fight. In some sence it's also a strategy, but I don't think that a strategy not involving direct fighting will do good, as you will be much in trouble against organised groups of targets as basically you won't have ANY experience of a firefight. Is this clear enough?

    EDIT: And about sniping, as good you might be as a sniper, if there is more than a couple of targets, staying in one place will have you countersniped and finally overrun and shot at closerange. Snipers HAVE to know how to change locations when needed in order to provide a strike from a different dirrection thus disorienting an ennemy.
  • i find camping kind of lame in pubs for S&D but for scrims it is a strategy
  • i ambush/ camp all the time... i can usually kill 2-4 before i die
  • Camping is fine in SND but not for prolonged periods. If you hear an enemy coming and don't feel like confronting him and possibly losing HP then why not camp, pre aim where he is coming from head level and head shot him. Now if you just stay in the same corner throughout the round that's stupid.
  • I hate campers because they kill me. The only thing about camping that ****es me off is when your attacking and your camping at spawn with a SL while your team planted the bomb, your still there and you kill me. (=P) but no camping isn't wrong, if you ask any good player if they ever camped and say no their bs'ing badly. There's some time I have to camp when clutching you have to recuperate and find out where they are. But other then that don't do it unless your in a tourney it's boring as hell.

    kid, basically you are saying what i just said, with different words only.
    i said that everything is about changing spots. never be in the same spot twice, even tough i still manage to be lethal even if i stay in the same spots a few rounds....
  • Chosing the right spot and taking the whole team down while they run past you is highly satisfying.

    As is jumping past a regular camp spot to take the kid down.

    All a part of the game.
    I love that the same kids crying about campers is the kids crying about realism.

    Kid, first of all you might want to learn to express yourself correctly so that people actually do UNDERSTANT you.
  • Camping with AWM in underpass of SHIP TDM is PRO and legit.
  • Camping isnt wrong at all Its a startegy especially if ur on the offence team let the team come to you put snipers at certain points and gunners that hold up the middle. The campers I cannot stand are the ones who need to plant c4 or on the offence and camp their spawns or just hide but then again its a strategy in reality a real soldier is not gonna rush a stonghold when they can set up a spot and take them out from distance and let the others get mad and rush then the other gunner campers own them as they come in. Its a skill campers are more likely to die quick anyway because we have all camped and know most the spots ppl hide. But everyone has their way of play keep ur ears and eyes open and take the tents out before they see u and dont cry when u get owned by a camper just remember their spots
  • Camping is smart because:
    - American kicked a** French and British army with camping.
    - Vietnamese kicked a** American in Vietnam war by this same technique.
  • its not wrong because its smart playing, even though i hate campers, i tend to do it a bit myself. but if u camp, get like 1-3 kills then move its not really "camping" its more like smart play or area camping

    Killing people is wrong, stop it.

    But seriously, except for stuff that is against the rules there shouldn't be any moral gray area in a video game.
  • All the best players know how to camp effectively.

    Last round of a tourney finals. I camp, guy goes past, shoot him in the back killing him, I win, get a new laptop. Yup, that won't do me any good.

    Camping is strategy. You can QQ all you want.
