Awww, man. You made an edit so its 100% clear that you're not talking about the other camping. So I can't make a comment on how real camping is when you walk for hours and find a clearing (not some "pay for a lot to put your camper/tent" deal) and make a fire without the help of lighters or matches. I can't say that you should have to eat at least 200 feet from where you will sleep so as not to attract bears or mountain lions. And I sure can't talk about how the night should be spent listening to annoying ass crickets and trying to make sure you don't hear heavy footprints coming your way...
Damn that edit. I can't say any of that stuff now.

Well, first I pitch the tent and makes sure all of the bolts pin the tarp securely down around the frame. Next, I gather some dry wood and scrape a patch of dirt up so I can build a fire without setting the surrounding grass ablaze. Finally, I get some marshmallows on a stick and enjoy my time.
Oh yeah, and I do all of this around a corner and point my shotgun at head height of anything that comes around that corner.
If anyone insinuates camping is unfair, then they can take it up with their own lack of strategic thinking and their unwillingness to throw a flash, smoke or frag grenade around any suspicious corners.

if you hate campers, don't go near them, or know to kill them. they're threat is very limited if you avoid them, and guys, flash and gas grenades are there for a reason
I've been concerted a camper because in 'hardcore mode' in games I prefer to play the game somewhat realistically, so if im sniping I wont move till I get 3-4 kill. running around and quick scoping to me is a waist of time and a good long distance weapon.
Edit: I don't do this with LMGs, or shot guns unless I really have to, but only for REALLY short period of time.

It's the second one. That's camping.

a legit strat where you stay is a certain area so you are defending so you always have the advantage of surprise and cover.
yeah cause running around the map in a game where spawns swap ends every 3 secs is so much more courageous and sensible.Ephraim J. Witchwood said:
Heh, there was a mission in the first Operation Flashpoint called 'Camping', and ironically you travel much further in it than in any mission leading up to that point. You drive a truck a few kilometers to set up a camp at another town (hence the title), then go on patrol in the woods (run another kilometer or so).
It really depends on the game though. Sometimes due to bad mapping/bad game mechanics, a player can sit in one place and have control over the entire playing field, with the only strategy to take them down being to send as many people towards them as you can. All of that to counter one person.Et3rnalLegend64 said:
But it does depend on the game.
I only really camp when sniping (as thats what you are suppose to do with a freaking sniper rifle). And even then, its only if it is of use to the team (I dont bother touching the sniper rifle in COD, only BF:BC2 and recently Homfront.)
I used to play a lot of Counter Strike Source. Sometimes camping is integrated into the game, but sometimes it's not. I've always considered camping to be idling in some nook waiting for someone to happen by, and blind siding that person. The caveat being, this is not camping if it is protecting the objective. Hidden along the path which happens to be the only way in for the opposing team to complete their objective, for example.
I've been called a camper a lot just by doing the objective of the map. I could be a terrorist protecting the hostages; right next to hosties in fact, and take people out. Next round, I'm assaulted by colorful language calling me a camper.
Camping is legit as long as it incorporates the game/map objective. If a terrorist needs to plant a bomb, and he's crouching in a far off corner while the rest of his mates are dead, and the other team has to start hunting him down, that is unacceptable camping.
