TO CAMP OR NOT TO CAMP

[XGC Filters]

First off I totally understand peoples frustration with so called campers. But for a second lets really look at the definition of a camper because here is where this subject becomes a grey area. I personally think camping is someone who sits in the same place or gets killed and goes right back to the same exact spot to camp some more. To me this is a camper, now with that being said. I personally am a slow moving player depending on the map I am playing.

When I play Nuketown or Havana I constantly am running with my duel PM-63 with steady aim, ghost perk, and hacker perk on because to me these maps are really to small to camp, although i constantly see people trying to hide out in the houses or laying prone in the backyard, especially in Nuketown.

On every other map the way I play is simple. I find a spot set up a claymore and then I snipe with my M-16 after I make 1 or 2 kills I move to a different spot until I make another kill, and then repeat the process. I really don't consider this camping because like I said I keep moving just more deliberate and slower than most people in the game.

One added bonus of this style of playing which I call more of a ambush style is the fact that you will kill someone who runs right back to the place you were at to seek revenge. Because I moved I can usually still see the sight I killed from and I see the victim running back to the spot i was at to exact revenge, and I usually kill them again and move off to another location.

After two or three times the victim usually gives up and moves on but I have had some where I have killed the same person 7 to 8 times in a game. I call this baiting and it is pretty fun. I said all that to say this, everyone has there own style of play rather it be the run and gun or the camp or whatever they want. People should just focus more on enjoying the game and the comaradre of there fellow team mates instead of focusing on someones gaming style just because they were killed by that person a few times from the same spot.

This is just my opinion but I am curious to hear what my fellow community members think on this subject.

I wonder how many years this camping category is going to continue on with. People who cry about camping will never get there way, and people who boast about camping will also never get there way. POINT: Being that you regardless still play the game, letting it effect you will only decrease your ability to play the game.

MY Opinion. Camping is staking a tent, grilling food on a metal grate held on rocks and drinking alcohol until you pass out in a fold chair and wake up to the smoke of your camp fire billowing white.

i know that i typically play the way you do with the "moving camping" spots

 

[XGC WaR]

i sometimes do some moving camping if the other team is always going for the same place. if the other team is running around im running around

 

[Mr STOLEN360]

now what you do is not considered camping, camping is like you said sitting in one spot the whole game waiting for that one person to walk by and usually those who sit in that one spot run ghost and that is what bothers me is the ghost campers

 

[SYN_BLUEDOG]

its just another strategy. If it works for you use it.

In some game modes I burst camp and in others i run around like a chicken with my head cut off.

Ill sit in the same spot for about two or so minutes... Then I move to a new spot.

But If Im in that spot I and the people are stupid enough to keep coming back.... Well then Ill just stay in that place till I feel it is no longer a safe place to sit.

exactly and those people who keep running back always complain about you sitting in the same spot. I always say "Why should I move if you can't kill me and keep coming back?"

I used to complain about campers or whatever people call them, but like you said if I was dumb enough to keep going back I deserved to be shot. Now for me I learned to adapt. I normally do as many of you and I get a couple of kills then move. But if I find that doesn't work I have no problem running and gunning. When people complain about me and my technique I simply tell them in a nice way to look at my KDR. One suggestion to anyone who says that to people may want to make sure your KDR is higher than the person you are saying it to haha.

i only camp when people are going to the same place like for a bomb.. but when they camp i get my equilizer class out rocket launcher and a noobtube it usually stops the camping lol

 

[DeF Scumdog CoS]

As we said when I was in the Army " adapt and overcome". The honor code says it best.... at the end of the day it is still just a game. So no matter how everyone feels I hope you still have fun gaming.

 

[SYN Korbonite]

Heh depends on the situation your in really, may be a bunch of ppl comin you can pick off or close to a kill streak you dont want to lose so...yup.

 

[KoG Astounded]

i like the way u put that scumdog. i like listening to people that scream and complain about games

 

[Gaming Outlaw]

mmm the Honor Code. <3

 

[DeF Scumdog CoS]

Hey sometimes I camp sometimes I don't, but people still need to remember that the object of the game is to not die. But what gets me more than any of that stuff is people that lose it if you accidentally team kill them. Yeah get mad when it is deliberate but when someone does it and immediatly apologizes there is no reason to flip out. But hey thats another topic.

 

[RdnekWithAGun]

Ever notice how people don't complain about "campers" when they win?

Really they're complaining that you wont let them win. Sorry noob, but I will never apologize for skillful gameplay.

If you don't like the way the other team is playing, leave after the game is over. The map is no more than 10 minutes of your life. So act like you've lost before (which, if you're complaining about camping, you probably lose quite often), swallow your pride, and leave the room with your tail between your legs.

 

[KoG Astounded]

ya its funny if they win no one cares if they lose the lobby is really loud and annoying thats what i liked about cod4 and cod5 you didnt have to stay in gamechat, so you never had to listen to all the complaining

 

[DeF Scumdog CoS]

But I like it more when they won't leave and you keep beating them match after match. And they don't know what to do when you switch from camping to a run and gun on them in the middle of a match and still kill them over and over.

 

[KoG Astounded]

i love that to especially when u call in dogs and everyone tries to camp from the dogs or get to higher ground but u still kill them all

 

[bulletsponge920]

ok i dont camp i snipe sometimes i let a bunch of ppl go by me an i pick an chose what ones i want to kill, (the one end of the line is alwas fun), some times i do move to different spots but i still snipe picking off one or 2 ppl in like 2 minutes is not camping but stalking lol
