MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT GAME PLAY

Hi, I am new to your gaming community but not new to gaming, I have been playing video games for the better part of the last two decades, my favorite being first person shooter games along the call of duty genre. I understand everyone has there own style of playing, I personally prefer more of the ambushing, and sniping style of play, which i must admit the latest installment of call of duty really doesn't have a map to accomodate this very well. Because of the the style of play i prefer I have often been called a camper, which i fell is a unjust and derogatory term. For one even though it is a video game its based on War and tactics, I myself actually am a veteran who served in the Army during the Desert Storm campaign, and went through basic training at Ft. Jackson, SC and one of the first things they teach you in the military is to practice common sense and keep your head down. Which out of force of habit I still practice in video games, Even though it's just a video game, I have actually had quite a few people become incredibly irate because they keep going back to the spot i killed them, and i usually get them again so then i am called a camper. The main reason for this is, because i may stay at on place awhile to get a shot on someone, after i make a kill i usually move to a different spot and set up for another kill, which to me really isn't camping because I am moving just not running around the map like a chicken with my head cut off. Playing like this usually nets me low death score and finish the game ranked in the top 3 unless i am playing on very small map. I was curious if anyone else felt the way I do, or am i just a camper lol?

whats funny is ppl confuse camping with strategically placing yourself at points of interest! If you place your self in a spot defending a specific area or to defend a particular area you know the other team is gunna try to get it cant be legit camping! lol

If your prone in a corner wackin it though well that's a different story lol

XGC = xtremely good campers lol.

I agree with you on this one I have the same play style. It's just how most of the people on live are.. immatuee.

If you do the same thing on the team of the people who were doing all of the trash talking they call you a good player its only when they lose that they start with the name calling.

You're a camper.
Hate to break it to you, but anyway you see it, you're a camper. Being tactical and being a camper is completely different. MY clan prefers tactical gameplay, which means we hide, shoot, and move on. Whereas campers just sit and wait.

Anything else? <3
