DomonX posted...I've been called a camper for the following:
1. I have a UAV up and see a red dot coming toward me. I ADS where he will show up, shoot him, and move on. Is this camping?
2. I have an orbital VSAT on and can see exactly where someone is going to be in the next 2 seconds, so I lay prone and ADS and shoot him. Is this camping?
3. I get shot at while running into a building, so I turn the corner, sit in the room, and ADS. As he follows me in, I shoot him. Is this camping?
4. I shoot 2 or 3 enemy players and do not use a silencer. After scoring the points, I back into the nearest cover or corner, sit and reload in safety. While I'm doing this, someone runs in front of my screen (presumably to see where I went). I shoot them. Is this camping?
5. I throw a care package. It turns out to be a UAV. Rather than collecting it, I wait under cover and shoot the enemy team that comes to collect it. Is this camping?
6. I'm playing Demolition. i've set the bomb. I take cover in a nearby building and watch the bomb site for defusers. Is this camping?
All of these seem like legitmate strategies to me. I don't really care if they're camping.
The best part is, once someone loses to me doing one of these once, they usually rush blindly back into the same area. By this time, I usually move somewhere where I can watch the original site, and I get them again. Apparently strategy equals camping
Best list ever!

I don't call it camping, just protecting my personal space while messing with yours.

I kind of like corner campers. You know, like the bombed out building in Slums with the paper thin walls that everyone loves to sit in.
I get all kinds of jollies from wallbanging people in there and listening to them cry. Truly, touches the bowels of my jowls.

Anyway people don't cry about campers because they dominate the game. It is very rare to see a camper have any big impact on a game apart . They are usually right down the bottom of the scoreboard. They are just annoying when they kill you one short of your VSAT or whatever. If a camper can kill the same guy more than once then that is the attackers fault.
So, you keep on hiding in your little corner with your positive KD and I will continue to run around and have fun 
I beg to differ. A couple days ago I went 23-0 on Aftermath, we blew the other team out. I was at the parking lot upstairs and I had a Claymore set up on the stairs under. Killing all those I would spot up front and my Claymore doing the rest, I was untouchable, quite hilarious.
It's not the first time I've had scores like that either. At the end of the day, why hate? Anybody can play however they want. Mind your own damn business.

I see it like this...if you are going to "Rush" me into oblivion I will play the smart way and just wait for you. I only do this to the ones determined to get a spot or to come get me.
I love the ones that cry about it in S&D. No...I guess I should just go for a walk and let you plant/defuse the bomb. I always tell folks that if they cry about camping in S&D then they're playing the wrong mode

Camping is actually a very effective strategy to win most game modes. A team can cut off the other team completely from scoring by guarding a few choke points on most maps plus rack up kills with minimum risk.
I don't like campers either, because they take the easy route to kill me, but then, I have to recognize their efficiency.
There is no camping in objective game mode and camping is a legitimate and clever strategy in tdm.
Rushers that don't like it can:
- use uav/vsat/sensors plus tacticals or lethals to compete against campers, as ghost does not work for them
- use ghost / flanking strategy
- play kc, because in this game mode, camping is not a successful strategy.
I can't camp, it's just too boring. I tried, but get killed regularly from behind. So, I am bored plus get killed.... It's just not for me to play the game like that.

the word camper is equivilante to the word " N***** " ...
its what friends calls each others as a joke or acknowledgement ... but a downright condescending insult when someone you do not know calls you by ...
its a word that became so overused its on the tip of the tongue of basically anyone who plays video games ...

The reason why people camp it's the most consistent way to play in a game full of inconsistent guns.

Call of Duty is a game of selective aggression. Yes.
You have to play both styles well. Saying ' my kd is 1 but i die a lot by distracting the other team' or w/e is an excuse.
Fact is you cant kill anything unless youre pre-aiming in ambush. I call you out because you're making an example out of bad rushers w/o giving credit to good ones.

Of course if you only play TDM, where the objective is not dying, then this is optimal strategy. Then again, where's the challenge?

The only one that might be up for debate, about whether it is camping or not, is #5. But that's just my opinion.
Everything else is just common sense, and I do every single one of them.

people take things way too literally. its not that people camp, its how they camp and how they play.
if your camping the b flag in dom, or your home flag in ctf, your doing what you should be doing. the guy that does this and goes 20-11 with multiple caps/ defends is a welcome member of my team.
if you are hiding ads in a corner with no strategic value trying to pad your k/d by shooting the few unlucky people that walk into your sights and not dieing, you are a worthless player. going 6-1 is meaningless when everyone else in the match is pushing kill/ death numbers in the teens to 30s. players like this are a waste of a slot on your team, they camp to pad their k/d numbers and do nothing to help you win any match.

Dude, I'm not a kid, and your type don't get me often. However, I just wonder how you have fun? It's an action game and you're sitting in the corner, ADS, and waiting for some one to stumble into the tiny room you're occupying. Where's the challenge? Where's the skill?
Head glitching is better than corner camping in this game. Fact...
Oh, I won't disagree with that. No sir.
