Camping is in tents silly timmy

I know that this is not new information, but I’m getting so sick and tired of hearing complaints about camping. I’m a COD guy, so feel free to disregard this blog if you are into something else.  If you agree, then leave comments and clicky click the thumbs up button, it gives me happy.

 

Last night really got me on edge. I jumped into a game of domination and got put on a team of timmies. We were playing against a team of PCP guys so of course we lost. In the lobby these timmies were angrily accusing the other team of camping and making all sots of sarcastic comments about the ability of the other team to camp the flags.

 

Do they not understand that to win you have to take and HOLD flags. NOT simply take a flag and run on to the next one, leaving the previous flag totally unguarded. When the PCP guys left 2-3 people back to guard the A flag it completely confused the poor timmies.

 

Let’s pretend for a moment that we were playing a regular Team Deathmatch. OK, still, who cares if the other team digs in and holds a spot on the map? That means that they are guaranteed to spawn in that spot, making life easier. What’s not to like? I’m sick of people using the other team’s lack of mobility as an excuse for their own mediocre game play.

 

If you know where they are and you know where they spawn and you still can’t kill them, then the problem is not the camping its YOU. With deep impact, grenades etc you have a pretty good advantage, quit your bitching.

 

I think that people simply get frustrated when the game play is slowed and they cannot control the flow of the fight. Or they feel as though they have to justify their defeat after every game. It’s OK to lose guys, some people are just smarter, faster, better than you, deal with it. I don’t care what your mommy tells you; you are not the godsend of all things.

 

I wish there was some “insult” to combat people who yell “CAMPERS!” Like “retards who keep running into my bullets and refuse to use cover expecting something different to happen the 30th time you run the same route.”  that's probably a bit long to be usable (that's what she said)

 

"Sniper" has become a very similar insult. From what I can tell, you are expected to run and gun with a sniper rifle and get all no scopes. God forbid you use the scope that is attached to the gun.

 

Apparently including sniper rifles and the ability to stay in once place fore more than 10 seconds are HUGE Infinity Ward screw ups. I can only hope that once they fix the absolute mess of a spawn system and the lobby system designed by chimps (no insult intended to chimps) they can address these overshadowing flaws.

I also agree...being a noob Lev 18 Gunnery Sarget....played like 11hr so far....I get bitched out for using perk Jug....rofl I am like killen a frikken potato bug...get over it guys COD4 rocks . Hopen to get better and learning that cover and camping ( when the game type or map justifies it) are what this game was meant to be. Refreshing to know that I am not the only one thinking like this. Thank Mandingo

I'm in 100% agreement. I think Timmies problem is that he doesn't know the difference in game types. It doesn't matter if it's S&D, HQ or TDM they are always looking to get the most kills..period. I've found that they also seem to like to frequesnt the strategic game types so that they can kill farm since most people like to take the logical approach of playing the game as it's meant to be played....what a novel concept.

I was an avid Halo guy until I got COD4, the game style was more to my style of play. I am a camper. I find the best place to take out as many targets as possible. Were as in Halo it is a run and gun for the big weapons. I also agree that with the non-death match games that there is a strategy involved and a lot of time it does require “camping”. The only thing that would say problems other than the spawning issue is that some maps in objective games have a distinct advantage over others. The biggest one is creek!!!! If you are playing domination and are on the side C flag position you have a huge advantage over the other team. Since this team has the better view they all become snipers and it become a battle of getting people off the hill. Just my 2 cents worth

You could get into the discussion of headquarters, how whoever had it last will spawn 3 feet from the new one. Or how easy it is to spawn rape on domination...but I want to focus on the positive reasons that I like this game. like how I went 54-14 against rattbasttard and ledbetter last night : ) And why don't we use a better word than camping...like strategic placement. That's really what it is.

I'd love to post a response to this, but it would just be too long. Let's just say I agree wholheartedly. I'm a run and gun type of guy, but some game types dictate a certain amount of camping. People that bitch about certiain perks, certain guns, etc. just like to bitch. Period. Next time just ask if their panties match the skirt their wearing (no offense meant to any female 2o2p memebers). It'll proably take them a week to figure that one out.

My response to these people (not just the timmies) is always the same. "And you must not be wearing your helmet today because your dumb ass kept going to the same spot and dying all of the time." Or I tend to lose, "You're right, we camped and you got your asses handed to you. Who lost? Go back to playing Halo if you don't like it." Seriously though, this is why I mute everyone that's not on my friends list. It's pointless to argue with these people because they will never understand that it's their lack of teamwork or skill that prevents them from winning.
