Why do people hate camping? (Defensively and Effectively)
<< < (3/12) > >>
Doomonkey:
When snipers are camping, it is usually due to the fact that in almost every single level of every single FPS game there is not enough room to be able to properly play a sniper.

When other people are effectively camping it is because the map was designed in a way that made a certain place well defensible and no one on the opposing team knows how to properly assault the position.

Most of the time though, when people are camping it is because they suck and the reason why you don't like it is because you suck too.

Because you're sitting in the corner with an insta-kill weapon. Being able to camp is usually a sign of a defective game.

It depends what map you are on on conquest. If you are on something like Operation Metro, then sure camping is effective, but if you are on a map like Caspian Border then camping won't do much and will just stop you from getting as many kills as you might be able to.
Dreams_Of_Cheese:
There's a fine line between camping and defending. Camping is stuff like spawn trapping and sitting in a corner shooting everything.

Defending is building/waiting in a position that is easily defendable on an objective. Control points in TF2 are a good example of this. But unless the game is being exploited (ex:Bad maps, OP weapons) camping shouldn't be an issue because there should be a way to flank.
