snip If they made it much more realistic it would be unplayable by the demographic they're pitching it to. That was my point. Its supposed to be "real combat!" ......[small]for 12 year olds[/small].
To make it playable for 7 year olds, you'll need a Battle Room, flash suits, and randomly placed stars.

Remember, the Enemy's Gate is down.

A perfect example of this is the TF2 map, 2Fort. Anyone who has played it for more than a day shall emerge with terrible tales of snipers being dead weight to their team, under the pretense of attacking the enemy snipers.
You mean the snipers sniping the snipers sniping the snipers sniping the snipers utterly oblivious to the spy standing right behind them.

That map is like ping pong with bullets.
I believe you may find this article of interest. [http://www.ubercharged.net/2007/12/04/players-you-dont-want-on-your-team-fortress-2-team-weighted-companion-sniper/]

Camping is bad(from enemy's perspective), but can be a formidible strategy tactic if put in the right position at the right time.

If the point of the game is to "rack up kills", I see no problem with trying anything and everything to do so.

Camping is normal.

Camping in an FPS is the practice of being a mega-monster-douche who can't get kills, so he/she/it stays in the same spot for a long time waiting to pick out those who have strayed too far from the pack. Camping is acceptable only for snipers.

There are worse crimes, though. I have an entire hierarchy which I will post here.. Because I'm bored.

The absolute worst is glitchers/hackers. I didn't even include them on list. I instead expressed my deep hatred for them in any online FPS and I have a 'special treatment' for the first hacker/glitcher I meet in real life.

1. Using only the noob tube to gain kills.

2. Camping when not a sniper.

3. (For recent CoD games) Using Commando Pro, Marathon Pro, and Lightweight Pro with a 'Tac-knife' and running around using only said Tac-knife to gain kills.

4. Pre patch Model 1887's with Bling, Akimbo and FMJ (though this is now obsolete.. Except for the fact that they're still fucking cheap)

5. Care Package Glitchers. They're technically glitchers and don't belong on this list and instead in my torture chambe- I mean.. Nevermind. But they've become such a big part of CoD gameplay (I guess this list has turned into a CoD based list, imagine that) that even after nine patches, it still isn't fixed. I sometimes wonder if the devs put it in as a feature and not as a missed glitch (among many).

Also, these are in no particular order, I hate them all the same.

I thought camping was waiting around a spawn point and just shooting a player when they've got no chance to shoot back.

Camping is what I do every month with my Boy Scout troop. We do all sorts of shit. We set up our fire, we shoot guns, we even go sniping sometimes! Never was able to catch one of the bastards though.

I think it's funny when people complain about camping.

But that's just because I use the Riot Shield and Stun Grenades; essentially I'm an anti-camper.

I haven't had much problems with campers in a lot of shooters. If they don't move from a single point guarding an objective then that's perfectly legit. Sometimes I hide around a corner if I think an enemy is coming then ambush, kill/damage, then move on. If you stay in one spot even the thickest of online players will realize it's time to toss a grenade or two.

The only thing that sometimes gives me a slight rage problem are spawn campers in TF2, in Halo with objective holding and finally Claymore scavengers in MW2.

Camping isn't ONLY an insult, it has an actual definition.

Someone who camps is someone who stays for long periods of time in a secreted area where many people pass through and therefore he gets easy kills.

Camping is when yoy sit tight in one spot, and shoot everything hostile that runs by. And it's a perfectly valid tactic
People are just bitchy cause they got killed, and they'r score isn't the best on the map, so by beeing part of what makes them look like they're not better than everyone else, you're basicly calling their mom a liar, cause she told them just yesterday when she tugge dthem in that they we're special end the best in the world.
It's not that camping is a bad tactic, it's just that some people hate loosing.
