INSURGENCY: Modern Infantry Combat

Hence the person standing still while properly aiming wins.

Sounds like it enforces campers to me.

This mod used to be good, but the creators gave up on it, due to very poor decisions as far as new content vs. bug fixing is concerned. Now, the mod is dead.
The mod originally started as a Desert Combat-esque mod for Half-Life 1. It was poorly ported to Source, and after a few years of cleaning it up, it was listed as one of the featured Steam mods that could be downloaded directly through Steam, along with other mods such as D.I.R.T., Age of Chivalry, and Synergy. Synergy is currently the only one out of those four that has not failed, yet (it's on its way). All of the others are dead.
Basically, with the Steam release, they got a surge of new players and popularity, and it was generally recognized as one of the best Source mods out there. It was really good at the time. But it went nowhere after that. With the release of Windows 7 and updated Source, a plethora of new bugs entered the game, and the devs did very little to counteract them.
After a few years, the playerbase just wanted the infamously bad spawn camping to stop, and the devs had no response. Later, we found out that people had been leaving the dev team one by one, and now the only devs left were latecomers who had no idea what they were doing. This ended up being the stage for legendary flame wars between the last few, desperate devs and the remaining veterans, who hadn't moved on to Project Reality/Red Orchestra/ArmA 2.
This is certainly one of the messiest of mod deaths. Quite a tragedy, too, seeing how much potential there was. At least Age of Chivalry was put to sleep properly by a proud and hard-working dev team.

The only people who complain about "campers" are people that are so inattentive and ADD they absolutely have to have everyone run out in front of them in order to kill them.
Ugh. Every time someone bitches about "camping", I want to choke the loving life out of them. Get better at the game, learn how to deal with players that defend from one location. Almost every single game where someone "camps", there are a thousand ways to kill them without trouble. They're called grenades you forgettard.

Only time I ever hate camping is when they are moving about (camping in different arenas in the same vicinity so you have no idea where they are hiding this time) and I happen to be alone, if there's another person (almost always) they are easily killed.
Camping isn't a problem.
