I used to play Quake Wars. However i prefer the old Wolfenstein: Enemy territory.
ETQW doesnt feel as loved as TF2 or MW2. If you have played either of those two, ETQW will seem really bad.

OT (slightly): Because you can die so easily in MW2, camping is one of the few ways of staying alive. Perhaps you should try the game types that dont allow respawning. Noobish rambo rage people always get kick voted or flamed. Of course the general Team Death match attracts akimbo users; deal with it..or avoid it.
Ignore the "cant beat em? join em!" idea. As you can see, they get no love here ;D

Their range is pretty limited. If they are camping and controlling one area greandes, noob tube, sniper rifle or a Famas will do the trick.

Oh lord.... g18? Campers?

These all translate to "$$$freekills$$$" in my head! And what do I do to counter them?

*cough*

Reflex, a well practiced eye-hand coordination, general game awareness, and more practice. And I believe these "skills" carry over to many other games, yes?

Nah, seriously. I've never had a problem with those people. Reaction time is your savior in almost all sitations. If the enemy reacts later than you do, it's your win. Now, make sure that they don't have a chance to react.
Whenever I get caught by surprise, though. Either I survive by a miracle, or just go "oh well, I died, thx god for respawn"

Almost all weapons in MW2 kill 'instantly' IMO. Apparently, some guns kill more 'instant' than others? I disagree...

[sub](And all the noobtoob-whiners, shut up, learn to shoot them before they shoot you, or use the damn blast shield >.<) /rant[/sub]

Who ever has the better connection to the host is usually the winner of close up fights. Watch the kill cam, I have had it so bad where I am waiting for the guy to run around the corner for a good second or two on my screen on his I am still running into the position I was standing in shooting.

The best counter in that game, as I call it, is what I call "The Sex Class"

It consists of a Rocket Launcher of choise (preferably one that can shoot people, and not just helicopters or planes [and no Thumper, because I said so]) and a Riot Shield.

You choose your perks, either Marathon Runner/Commando or Scavenger/Danger Close, with the third perk being whatever you feel like it.

Throwning Knives to piss more people off.

Its the perfect counter, for everything. AND, if you find it not the perfect counter, it lets you blow off some much needed steam (After all, you will LOVE hearing "Whos the fucking asshole who kept killing me with Rockets" in the post-game lobby).

IF, however, you decide NOT to go with the Sex Class, its a matter of luck. Grenades work well against campers. CoD MW2 is really set up in a Camper friendly way, so best of luck to you.
Looks like i have a new class to try out! thx man!

A little technique I thought up about a month or so ago.

I call it the 'Power Button'. Pretty self explanatory.
Pretty much this. MW2 online can be quite a bit of fun but after a while I just started to get pissed off at it so I stopped playing.
I myself, went off to play a game with objective modes in which people actually try to achieve the objectives instead of worrying about their k/d ratios and the sprouting of hair on their balls.

Countering a sniper, for me at least, is easy. Perhaps that's because I play the way a sniper should. Move slowly, find a spot for a few seconds, take the shot, relocate. Most of the time I'll relocate to a spot covering my previous area because some idiot will come charging in and I get another kill before I move again. Most snipers, however, don't play this way. They stay in the same spot, so then it's all about finding the right spot to blow their head off.

I've never had a problem with dual-wield weapons. Maybe the shotgun, but the way I see it, if someone's able to get close enough for those weapons to work, I haven't been paying attention.

Not that I think there's anything wrong with camping, but if you want to get the campers it's easy. After all, you know where to find them. Funny thing is, I was camping once and shot this guy, and then he came back and tried to get me but I got him again. This kept repeating again and again.
That was probably me. Occassionally, though I know better, my blind camp rage takes over and it taked being killed by the same guy five times in a row to break me out of it. Always left feeling like an idiot.

There are several solutions to this problem. The best solution is the stop playing the game in which it has a shitload of imbalances and easy kill weapons. However, if going to a better game does not suit you, then I suggest fighting fire with fire. Nothing better than killing some akimbo asshat than using akimbo G18s yourself. If that does not satisfy you, then I suggest having a huge awareness of your surroundings and know the common camping spots on the map.

Counter knifers? Your shield is surprisingly good at this. Hell, I once had three people trying to knife me at the same time. Can't get back attacked, ever, and for some reason it's hard to get front attacked. Then you just quick swap after they try to knife you, and KNIFE THEM! Which is why I keep commando on my shielder.
You must be a rarity, knifing riot shielders is one of the easiest tricks in the book. You simply wait for them to bash you, then, knife them in the head. Add commando or a tactical knife and it becomes even easier.
Yes, I am a rarity. I like swapping to my pistol and quickly knifing people, rather than shield bashing them, so they can't knife me. Me? I treat the shield as the piece of equipment that it really is, rather than as a weapon, let alone a primary weapon, as most others do. I use my pistol to shoot people, I use my equipment to kill people, and I use the shield for what it is meant for: Protection. I do not use the ability to shield bash people, however, as I have said, I quickly swap to my sidearm, which is always a pistol, when I use a shield, and I quickly knife my target rather than shield bash them, because then they die rather than live to shoot me, run away, or as you said, knife me in the face.

Ah so you too play like a normal sniper; I thought I was the only one. However, I tend to move a bit then look at the same area I was looking at before so that I can get the guy if he's stupid enough to have thought he could get me from the same spot. The only time I have problems with akimbo is when they use akimbo SMGs.

My tactics for taking out snipers is getting close and using a grenade to pull them out then just kill. I like the G18 akimbos and use them with my sniper killing class. Use them of you don't like them.

Akimbo silenced m9s and a prayer.
silencer on the m9 is broken

OT: grenades are my anti-camp weapon. also if they're camping becaus they suck(which 9x/10 they are) you can just prefire a bit, rush them, and teabag their corpse.
As for akimbos, I don't see how they're overpowered? The range balances the power.

I know a very simple ans easy solutin.

1. turn off the console

2. go on steam

3. buy red orchestra (a balanced and unique WWII fps that has alearning curve but a rich experience after said learning curve)

4. try it out

5. if you dont like you dont rally care because it only costed you 5 dollars

yes i am aware i am basicly advertising the game.
