I play both, and you're endorsing camping. Sniping, in my eyes, consists of moving around. But, if you can defend your sniper perch even after a kill cam has given you away, even more props.

I would tend to agree on the moving around part, but if im playing with a bunch of random people on my team, and nobody is around to cover me when im ready to move, there is no way in hell im going to move. There have been times where ive shot 2-3 people and get up to move and get popped by someone who was behind me unaware of me being there.

Played last night in a game where two guys who were always on the other team just ran around using Commando, Marathon, and the tac knife for every game on every map.

Stuff like that really kills the game sometimes. There's really no skill involved in that at all IMO, same with just running around with akimbo 1887's.

there is nothing wrong with camping. There is no rules in MW2 and nothing wrong with people who camp. IMO, most people who complain about something within the game do so because they can not over come it. I am willing to bet that people who dont like camping are the same people who continuously get owned by a camper in the round. You know the guy....he is the guy who gets killed once and then goes right back to where the kill cam showed him where the camper is hiding.....then gets killed again.....and again.....and again. Of course the camper is smart enough to move from one corner in the area to another and is smart enough to know how to beat someone.

you also said sniping in your eyes means moving around. If you look up the word sniper i think most definitions would show a picture of a guy pitching a tent......i never heard of a sniper who moves around. He may move in a general area, but the whole point to sniping is to camp an area and wait for the enemies to show up for his kills.

Knife only takes a lot of fuckin skill. Try to finish with a good score using only the knife.

Ive been tryin to and its a bitch to finish positive.

I think there is a difference between tactical game play and camping an they get mixed up a lot.

Camping to me means sitting in a dark corner with an automatic gun or a shot gun and waiting for people to come by. IMO it's not camping to either have a sniper rifle or an automatic weapon and tactically work the perimeters of maps or be in a room and cover all sides.

Camping to me is sitting in Underpass in the weeds for the whole game or in dark corners for the whole game really not doing anything but shooting anyone that moves by you and really not doing anything tactically to move around the map at all.

Disagree. I tried it once and finished with one of my highest k/d ratios ever. Tried it a few more times in different rooms just to check and same thing. I've always said the melee is too powerful in this game, going back to COD on the PC and it continues to this day. Now you have boosts that make that attack even more powerful. You have a mode where it takes half a clip to kill someone with a fully automatic weapon but one wild press of the melee button takes him out if you hit him anywhere on his body.

PS: EDIT nvm

This is stupid. This is just you thinking about the other team calling you a camper. First and foremost, fuck any title you earn. If you're successful, continue to do what you are doing.

If you find a spot that the other team is not attacking, or trying to control, then stick to it as long as you can. Usually, you'll get anywhere from 4-6 kills in single spot before you piss someone off and they start coming after you. There will be the occasion where you'll have a guy who is a flanker, and will attack you the first time you kill him, but you should have your rear covered by either a claymore or a teammate. Again, camping a single building, obviously dont sit in the exact same window or spot, but dont get up and run to a completely different part of the map, because then you just run the risk of running into someone along the way with a better weapon than my secondary. And if I'm sniping, I'm trying to keep my deaths to around 5.

What you just described there to me isn't camping IMO.

[Prodigal Son]

In hardcore, its not one "good" shot. Its simply one shot. And it just instigates heavy camping. Because you know, if you're playing hardcore, you're going to die if shot at. Hardcore search and destroy is where I find the most strategy. But fuck hardcore headquarters and team deathmatch.

That's why you have grenade launchers and grenades. I like to call them Tent Busters.

"Oh hey, dude is camping in that house? This explosive should change that."

Only time camping becomes a problem is in Wasteland.

good post.....totally agree

the part in bold annoys the shit out of me, but if a guy hides like that he wont last long if your team is communicating. Our guys call that shit out right away and the guy dies

Enlighten me.

EDIT: Nevermind. I'll refer to your post I missed.

I get ya. If you're sniping, you're not going to be running a whole lot. Thats just not a smart thing to do.

Everyone has something to bitch about when they're losing or lost. Instead of altering their gameplan, they bitch and complain about either the other team doing something, or their teammates not doing enough. That is a bad player.

Theres always the ass hats who use grenade launcher attachments and the thumper as their secondary. And shoot all four each time they spawn, before firing even just one bullet. Or guys who sit in an incredibly stupid spot and get a cheap kill because you obviously would never look there.

No, but sometimes these little fuckers find a way to last way longer than they should, even when people know where he's at.

Just had a camper in Skid Row. Sat in the box cars facing the sniper perches by Flag B. Every time I killed him 15 seconds later I'd see him running to the exact same spot and 1/2 the time shot him while he was trying to climb the crates. Nice to know where I could go each time I was one kill from a kill streak.

We get into the lobby and he's a Level 55 and he starts accusing me of camping. I lul'ed because one of his teammates spoke up and called him a fag because he was pissed I just kept not letting him go to his one spot on the map.

Also there was some fag who would just choose the riot shield and run around. At least when Houtz does it he kills people. I got stuck with this guy on my team and he went 6-15 and we lost.

[FedEx227]

Riot shielders make me laugh. I have no problem if you're actually good with it and know what you're doing but I love the people that just run at you with it... then I shoot their feet 12 times and they die.
