If you stay in the same bloody spot for the whole match you're bound to be killed a myriad of times, and it's they're fault if they're dumb enough to be killed by an unintelligent camper who stays rooted to the spot. If you move around, every once in a while camping a spot for a bit, I don't see how it could be frowned upon. I tend to snipe a lot, so there are many times when I camp a certain spot and move along. Mobile camping I guess.
-Why does it require no skill? You still need to aim, plus you have to use your head to find a decent spot and then make sure you're aware of any alternate routes to you.DeadlyGlitch said:
-What makes these kills cheap?
-Makes it less fun? Is this because the other player sucks and keeps running straight into the camper?
-If you're that butthurt about it, then it's probably best you do stop playing.
-Why do you get to decide what's boring? I camped today on MW2 and had loads of fun.
You just seem annoyed because you get killed by people being cautious and aren't good enough to counter them. None of you're arguments make any sense at all.
You know how we can sort all of this mess out? Instead of using the word camping, how about we call it ambushing? It's what they're doing, after all, and it sounds nicer.
Any game where everyone is camping and I am bored to death, and i go out, but die because camper has a huge advantage, is the game i hate.

Also you said it is fun to camp in the quote, what if everyone camped since camper gets huge advantage? That make game boring...

It depends on the game and the situation, entirely.
As a general rule of thumb, the big deal with camping is that it promotes gameplay of first to move loses, I.E. the game slows down, and the players actually progressing the battle are the ones who lose. Basically it kills exciting gameplay. Of course there are exceptions to this and there are games that are all about camping.
This all said, if there is a game where camping is undefeatable, I don't play the game. One of the major reasons I stopped playing CSS was the excessive camping, I myself rarely camped but due to everyone else camping the games were just boring. The same spots every time, the same tactics every time, it just sucked, Despite the fact that when I played it a lot I tended to be pretty good regardless of camping, it still wasn't fun.
Tf2 on the other hand, camping is rather hard to pull off with all the anti-camping methods you can use. Which is why I still tend to play it.

It's not a problem, nor is it a cheap tactic with most games.
Only on imbalanced maps. Which is rare now anyway. People just like to complain. Camping actually gives the non camper the advantage.
-You know the enemy location, he does not know yours
So feel free to shoot in his direction, throw nades, etc, as you know where he is and he has NFI where you could be.

Heh. "Bad Company: you'll never need to knock again."Chicago Ted said:
Greatest promo idea EVER.
I personally don't have a problem with it. I don't typically camp, and if I do it's in a team game and the location is strategic.
There are usually numerous methods of getting rid of campers, or just avoiding them altogether (usually after they've already kill you once, but yeah).
But, as mentioned by many others, spawncamping is just cruel. Taking out defenseless opponents for points is so aggravating and can ruin a game very quickly.

.... Booze Zombie, you, sir, are the only member of the walking dead I won't headshot when the Apocalypse rears its ugly-ass head. Instead, I will simply high-five ye.Booze Zombie said:
That doesn't work when a camper is staring at a doorway waiting for you to go through it. Think about it, if there is a door and 3 good locations covering it, you have to scan 3 places, he has to scan 1, or 2 if there are two doorways.Ocelot GT said:
I agree it depends on the game and maps, but camping does work, and can be very irritatingly boring.
Because I don't have the patience to do it and therefore feel jealous of the players who do.
A less self-centered answer would be "Because in most games, run-and-gun is encouraged". Although, even run-and-"gun" can piss me off when people take it to the extreme, such as the so-called "ninjas" in MW2.

I think camping is a perfectly reasonable tactic. I really do hate games where everyone just runs around constantly spamming grenades and bunnyhopping.
Outside of exploiting actual bugs, cheating, or griefing, I don't think that there is anything you can do that the other team has any right to complain to you about. You're the opposite team, if they are complaining, then your doing your job right.
However, YOUR team might complain. Camping is certainly a viable strategy, but its not always a good one. Sometimes, your team would have a right to complain about you sitting in one place, picking off a few low priority stragglers, and doing absolutely nothing to advance towards your objectives.

I don't do it, because I don't find it fun, and it just isn't my style. I tend to run around more, partly because it takes me a long time to learn the maps (In MW2 there are maps where I almost always end up in the top 3 places in FFA, and others where I'm very close to the bottom) , and find out where the good places to camp are, and partly because I get bored of it. I mostly just run around semi-strategically trying to find some action.
I can't complain about other people doing it. Though I don't like games where everyone is doing it, because it takes away most of the action, and slows things down considerably. Of course I'm talking about things like Team Death Match or Free For All.
