That all depends where in Afghanistan you pitch your tent.Miki91 said:

Yeah I'm done. I think it annoys people because it's such a demonstrably superior way of getting kills and unless they've not picked a very good spot, it can be nigh on impossible to catch em out.
I don't get camping and don't see myself going camping anytime soon (read: ever.) Between mortgage and utility bills not to mention the creature-comforts my house provides I just don't see the point of sleeping out in the woods amidst the bugs and muck.
...skims the rest of the thread...
...oh, it's a video game reference. Meh, who cares how someone else plays? As long as it's not cheating/hacked, right?
And, for the record, I still don't see the point of camping (the forest-kind.)

I don't mind campers. Camping is fine, especially if you're foolish enough to run to the same spot only to be killed by the same guy multiple times, the blame really lies with you, but spawn camping is definitely not fun.
but I suppose what I wonder is: what exactly constitutes camping, at what time does staying in one place to survey the field stop being a rational idea, and turns into OMG CAMPZ!!!

If you (not to the OP, but to those QQ'ers) can't handle camping, seriously, STOP playing those game (or game type/mode) where it's required. Like a "Demolition/Sabotage/Capture the flag" or any ... wait .... I think everyone of them require some form of 'camping'. Why run out in the open like an idiot when you know your enemy is coming, unless of course you are confident about your ability to take him/her/it down.
And it's WAR, hell, even if games like BF 2, the inclusion of non-capture spawn point seemed flawed if the enemy has the capabilities to strike it.
Hence while I agree spawn campers in such game type seem unethical, it's just a flaw people have to live with. That's why DEDICATED servers, and server RULES, as well as honest MODERATORS help to keep the game fun for everyone.
But 'banning' camping, in all of its forms, is the silliest thing since .... I decided to purchase killing floor.
Oh, and THIS. If you are getting killed by the same camper over and over again, you are doing something wrong. Flank em, nade em, noob tube em ... don't waste your time whining, do something to get them out of their hiding spot.dsmops2003 said:

If you camp it usally means you suck on direct battle that theory is true around 80% of the time and camping Is in a way unfair cos' you don't give you're emeny not as much as a chanse to fight back example if you play cod on some stages you need to use martydom nearly even cheaper tactic to kill someone you run infront the camper than he kills you he don't have the time to run away after you spawn you must gaurd the same area so the goddamn camper must find a new spot ofen more vunreble and get easy killed and in the end he didin't win anything on it and than I say gaurd I don't mean camping more walking a special route around the area. but I only do that if the camper really is wining alot of points for hes team but sniper camping is ok cos' you still don't have a chanse if you run over open terrain if it's a sniper on the other side
In COD playing hardcore, when people camp it get obnoxious. I continually spawned near a camper the other night, facing a different direction. So I'd spawn, take a step, and die. And since there's no kill cam, there was no way of knowing where he was. Stuff like that is obnoxious, sitting in dark corners never ever moving, or like placing yourself up on top of vending machines and stuff....things that most people cannot do. While it is a valid thing to do, its just really fucking annoying and shows a lack of finesse and talent.
People seem to be saying that camping shows a lack of skill. If you ask any sensible soldier they will tell you that sticking your head (or anything else) out of cover is a stupid thing to do.
What annoys me in computer games is that everyone runs around like an ostrich with a sparkler stuck in their rectum.

Well the way i see it there are different types. There is the hide in a little nook near a doorway with a shotgun and then theirs go up into the top of a building and shooting people in the back from i high advantage point. There is a difference.Flames66 said:
camping is a perfectly acceptable tactic, there is nothing particularly wrong with camping, but as all games are competative it is somewhat unsporting to camp your apponents spawn, or to wait in a hallway alcove for some unlucky opponent to run past in his attempt to complete his objective. In most competitions it is frowned upon to do something your opponent wouldn't do to achieve your goals and so many people get angry at people who claim ability in a game because they were willing to do something that is generally seen as under-handed, and that a player more worried about there image wouldn't attempt.
This is no reason to stop camping, but it doesn't mean that you shouldn't be called out for it, espescially by your own team. there is nothing more annoying than when a member of your team sits behind some crates for the whole mach, in the end they may finish with about two or three kills to no deaths, but that is little comfort for the rest of your team when you get raped in a game of three-on-three because one of your team decided to hide for the whole game and let the rest of you fight three-on-two.
Overall, don't stop camping, there is nothing really wrong with it, but don't complain if either team hate you for it.

I've got no problems with it.
Besides, running around might get your kills up faster, rather than staying in one fixed position the entire game.
It's all a part of the individual's preferred style of play.
Spawncamping is not accepted, though.

Although I admit that trying to get a kill while moving is more challenging, me and my friends also sometimes contend ourselves to staying behind the same crate for some time, and if the little kiddies call us noobs, just say: We were all noobs once so don't talk smack.
Thats true. I personally have done both of those though i generally stick to more close range tactics. I think the difference here is that I like my stealth tactics. I like to take out my enemies without them seeing me coming, whether from right next to them or from atop the church bell tower.open trap said:

It's simply when you're scoring points in an unbeatable maneuver, then it smacks of crass trolling.
