Ready for my long winded input? if not, carry on to the next post when it comes.
if you are? you might need a tent and smores to enjoy this.
I am NOT a camper. i do not hide in a corner waiting for unsuspecting victims to get shot by my unskillful game play. However, during certain game types, on certain maps, under certain circumstances, i will duck down, possibly behind a wall for more than 30 seconds, possibly underneath a helicopter for a few minutes in order to get a vantage point to spot the enemy, and to get some headshots in. Multiple times using this simple strategy (most commonly i use it to regenerate my health) i have been referred to as a "Camper". People need to lighten up on camping. If you stop running to shoot your gun, your not a camper. If you repetitively position yourself in the exact same spot, and stay there for the entire game, you are most definately a camper. The most i have ever done as far as camping goes, every so often i play MW2 with XGC Kings. we have a good time. and when a certain snow map comes up that has a few warehouses and a forest. there is an AWESOME building in the center bottom of the map. It has excellent spots for snipers to pin down the enemy from both sides. but the problem with it, is there are 2 different entrances to get in to it from. So we position a man watching the front stairs, and a man watching the back stairs while our snipers go to work on headshots. this works great. my favourite is watching the back staircase. i duck myself in the dark with a C4 planted on the stairs, and when someone runs in i blow the C4. problem solved. then i quickly jump out of the darkness and spray away the next person running into the room. then i go over and lay down next to the boxcar and wait for somebody to try to find me hiding in the corner, but alas! i am not there anymore, once they realize this and start heading for the stairs i lunge up and spray them away... continue up the stairs and wait for somebody to rush the stairs and shotgun them down the stairs!
. Rinse Repeat this process.
does that make me a camper? NO i do not stay in the same spot i am constantly changing position. but the strategy is always the same, and it always works. simply solution to this.... clear the room with a grenade before you rush in. i would be dead right away. or before you rush into a room, check the points that someone might be watching the entrance outside. and at the top of the stairs.. does anybody run up stairs blindly in this game? i dont. why should they? so all the while we play our snipers are getting kills, guys watching the front stairs are getting kills. and i get kills it works out great. one time the score for us on that map was 7500 - 400.. was pretty sad. and apparantly we are ALL Campers... but i disagree!
next subject.... n00b tubing. or as some will say.. pro piping.. <-- lol pro pipe is funny to me.
i rarely use a grenade launcher except to get challenges for guns. but i understand the importance of the tool that fires grenades a long distance. Great for clearing rooms. Great for getting someone behind cover. however it is easily avoidable in a 1 on 1 situation. see most people using grenade launchers will aim directly at you. sometimes to the ground near you.
if you see the smoke trail low, JUMP. if it is coming high, side step. wow! amazing. once they fire the grenade launcher they have a while to reload it, or change back to bullets, or even switch to their secondary weapon. no as soon as they miss you with the grenade you have to fire fast and straight, because they are probably not thinking, as quickly as you are at this point, and they might still figure you will get hit. so fire fire fire, that guy is now dead. i love this. people get so frusterated when they miss with a grenade launcher. now if you are ducked behind some cover and a grenade launcher fires slightly behind you, well i guess you shouldnt have been behind cover and should have been shooting at that guy. but next spawn, you know he has a grenade launcher, so use it to your advantage with some quick moves and blast him away.
next up, is glitching. sad sad people need to manipulate a game to feel good about themselves. most cases these people will be weeded out and dealt with, but the glitch should be patched. if you are in a lobby with glitchers, LEAVE THE LOBBY instantly. do not associate with people who glitch, you DO NOT want to bother finishing the round because they are NOT playing fairly, and even if you do beat them. it still was not enjoyable to play with someone glitching. it wrecks the game...
comments? concerns? please respond and let me know if my opinion has struck a nerve. lol
have fun, keep it safe, and after all.... its just a GAME. dont get all heated up about a game everyone...
