Cod why do people hate campers

Because his name is Spawn… The illustration perfectly encapsulates the debate that still rages on today between campers and run-and-gunners, or players who favor randomly running around a map to find enemies instead of waiting for them. From there, the to camp or not to camp argument became an all-out internet war. So why all of the camping animosity? At the end of the day, while it can be seen as annoying or cheap, camping is an option available to all gamers.

However, it can become a problem if certain game maps are designed to encourage it as the optimal way to win, which is exactly what Modern Warfare is being lambasted for. Certain maps, like Euphrates and Piccadilly Circus, reward camping because they are peppered with hidey holes right next to one main walkway. Campers always have the edge in a one-on-one fight, but rushing them with some buddies will tear down their tent for sure.

If you've ever been told to "get rekt" and couldn't tell if it was a compliment or an insult, we're here to explain where terms like that came from, what they mean, and how to use them in everyday conversation. At least camping is realistic. You have obviously never fought in a real war, son. If you think camping is fake, tell that to the thousands of Germans who were "camping" in bunkers in Normandy when the Allies stormed the beaches there.

You're taking one of the few things about COD that is actually realistic and then you're saying its not realistic, wtf?! If camping wasn't realistic perhaps you'd care to explain why bunkers and other fortifications were built all thoughout history.

You know why men built castles and all that junk? When soldiers "camp" in real war, they don't do it because they want to have the most kills. They do it because it is a strategy used to combat the enemy who is rushing them. If you've ever fought in a real war, you'd know when it's a tactical decision to attack the enemy, and when it's a tactical decision to wait and ambush them. By the way, defending isn't camping. Call of Duty isn't realistic.

I agree with white Personally, I hate running around and getting knifed or otherwise killed every 20 seconds. It proves nothing, it's frustrating, and shows no strategic skills.

Working together strategically that means intelligently, all you idiots who think it's all about getting 50 kills!! On the other hand, camping all the time is annoying. You have to get out there to achieve goals. But there are plenty of situations in the game that merit it, though. I'll hang back and play defense if nobody else does. Defending an objective is just as important as slaughtering 20 people to capture one. I'll lay in wait a few seconds if I think someone's about to rush me or the objective element of surprise is good strategy.

But I only do that a minute or two here and there. I like roam around near whatever I'm defending to get in the game and jump into the action if we're having trouble taking or keeping an objective.

Mixing it up like that is fun and balanced, but I play more defense. I thinks it's smart to run between several vantage points to watch for enemies and try to hold them off.

But watching one door with a claymore at your back is pointless and no fun for anyone. I get angry at people that think they're above camping and charge into the advancing team's base. In games with smaller maps, modes, and more generalized classes the camping only serves to get easy kills.

I don't mind campers as long as they are doing what needs to be done. But you still can't win with some people. Everybody complains about something. I remember running and gunning with a kill streak in BLOPS and that pissed someone off because I was using a "pussy" shotgun. Or how about the multiple times someone gets mad at you for 'stealing' their kills. I'm sorry that I didn't realize that you were about to kill the guy in front of me who is shooting at me.

To me, camping has its place depending on the match that you are playing. It may not be 'right' to do it ALL the time but sometimes you have to hold back, crotch down, and wait to see if someone's coming from around that corner, especially if your map indicates an enemy present.

Does sniper not camp by nature. Yeah, there is a big difference in defending an objective and camping in a game where the objective is to hunt down and kill the enemy. Unfortunately, many gamers of this generation do not know the difference. The funny thing is, camping isn't the plague that people try to make it out to be. You know how many times I've played a game, such as CoD, I just got done killing a guy or two so I back up into a corner to reload and a guy happens to run in front of me so I kill him.

What happens then? He sends me a message screaming about how I'm a camper. So because I kill him while not moving for about 2 seconds I'm camping? Truth is, most people that complain about campers generally either aren't very good at the game to begin with, or they have anger issues. I'm actually someone that can't stand to sit still in a video game. The only time I'm not moving in CoD is when I'm taking a domination point.

Or planting a bomb. Or waiting for my team to return our flag when I have the other team's at our base. I've also learned, thanks to blops with the theater mode, that most people that generally scream 'camper' are generally the ones that camp all the time. There are definitely moments when someone is 'camping' but personally, I'd rather get killed by a camper with a sniper rifle not moving in a ghillie suit, than be killed by a sniper running around quick scoping.

The way I play multiplayer shooters is exactly the reason i can't hunt IRL I simply can't sit still with a gun without getting insanely bored I never considered the other half of our team as 'campers', but a lot of clans we played would bitch over the mics about it Exactly ive been called a camper so many times running and gunning on cod. I always scratch my head and wonder how was i camping.

But honestly sometimes slcamping is justified if you kill 2 people reload abother 2 come into same door way you kill and them and this continues until 2 turns 5 what do they expect you to do? Run away and be killed or stand your ground i think people are called campers most in objective games when they are defending. I don't have a problem with campers. Just find them and kill them. Here's a tip they'll be in the same spot the next time you respawn fyi.

And the winner is you my friend. In many games camping is a smart way to play with a bunch of mindless rushers. If people stopped mindlessly running around the map then campers would not be a good play style. The people who hate camping are the mindless ones. A good camper does not stay at the same spot for more than 2 kills. A bad rusher keeps rushing to the same spot over and over again even though you get no where.

Snipers in COD pretty much only quick scope. In battlefield you hardly see a camper. There are a few reasons why. People in battlefield do NOT run around with a chicken with it's head cut off 2. The maps are to big to make camping even remotely useful 3.

In the new ones there are destructible enviorments. I will answer this without having to read the actual article. People hate camping because they suck at video games and obviously aren't playing to win. If the campers are beating you then they are technically better than you at the game. As all the game knows is kills and deaths. If you are killing the campers then what is the problem?

Easy kills from people who sit in the same place. People make it sound so easy. I don't have eyes in the back of my head in the game. Even in UC2 its hard to tell where the shots are coming from especially when you are being hounded by other players. I have no time to be tracking down shots while trying not to step into proximity mines or get blasted by missile launchers or torn into by turrets or dodging grenades.

Even worse the camper usually finds a place to hide where he can see the game field. He could take you out long before you can get to him. Its not like its just him your up against. I had thousands of kills in cod 4 that were a retaliation of getting killed by a kid in the corner What if they are the type that camp at choke points to objectives. Maybe I should fly over the map to the other side right?

Campers sit own peering usually from a spot where only their head is sticking out from their campsite and wait for people to come do objectives. They are not better than anyone, because if everyone played like them, no one would get any kills.

Its because you get an unfair advantage for being a "little bitch" sitting in the corner or at an unfair vantage point like on top of a building and getting easy kills just to look good or in CoD's case "get kill streaks" which in my opinion is what makes the game addictive!

You might like to run and gun and others go slow and strategic. The only reason campers can rack up kills is people are dumb. I was in a bunker in cod and the whole other team just keeps running through the door right in front of me so i kept shooting them. I got like kills in a row. There were 2 other doors they couldve come through behind me and killed me but no they kept coming so i killed them.

I dont camp i like to move around but you have to stop here and there. In a game like socom 4 il post up and snipe for a minute or watch my teams back from an angle but i rarely ever hide out like others. I hate when the other team tries to sneak by our spawn and camp out in bushes. I take advantage of it though ive gotten like 15 kills straight from my spawn because they kept sneaking back and hiding so i stayed and picked them off.

That's a good way to see if camping is right. Everyone has their own little corner waiting for people to walk past, but for some reason no one walks past. Because they're camping. If everyone camps, then no one gets any kills i.

Moderate camping is ok
