Why is everyone either 'whining' or 'butthurt' according to the gaming crowd at large? Why can't this just have been a funny thing in the world?Sewer Rat said:

A Musical Warning for Battlefield 3 Campers: You Gonna Die

You see the song makes sense if you played BF2 and are moving straight on to BF3. BF3 would be quite shocking to the camper who played BF2. The problem though is what happens if you were a vet of BF2 and are now a vet of BFBC2, oh yeah you have already learned everything you need to know to camp well in BF3. With the added bonus that we now have proper prone, larger map sizes and more targets to shoot at.
Would someone tell me why campers are hated but nobody has a problem with snipers, when they both look the exact same to me?
Andy that is not what a being a camper is it when you lie in the same place for longer than a minute and a half with a automatic weapon.There is no stealth as there just lying on the floor around a corner,there is no sneaking as they dont move from the same damn spot for most of the game and they are not popping people in the head because they are lying down so they wont get a chance to pop anybody in the head.They just spray you with bullets as they are prone in the corner of some part of the map normally far away from the main battles.Andy Chalk said:
Your confusing being a stealth player and a camper and calling stealth players campers is a very bad thing.
Also best way to piss off campers is if they are just going to spend the whole match lying down in a corner.Then every time you see one on your side drop a flashbang in front of their face it is very easy as campers do not move.
Campers be warned of what, that this guy is going to be an easy kill?
I'm sorry but rushing really isn't going to help you BF3. Hell its rushers that run headfirst into objectives just to get popped over and over again that actually makes the game suck. Ever be in a game where you lose like 50 tickets in Rush in like 2 minutes? Well it's because guys like this.

Well that was stupid. Especially since it's about BF3, a game in which objectives have to be attacked and/or DEFENDED.
I didn't know camping was still such a big thing. I thought people realized that, as soon as multiplayer shooters became more complex than deathmatch and team deathmatch, the tactics would change and sometimes one team would have to hold X position in order to win. also known as "camp".
You want a camp-free game? Go play Quake 3.

Well, I was not hiding in the grass, I was standing in the second story of a house in Atakama Desert on CONQUEST (base A).SmashLovesTitanQuest said:
Half my team where rushers, you know the people who actually ruin the game, and we could not get past base B becouse of them running head first aginst the enemy snipers.
None of them where thinking of suppressive fire, or that an assult on foot was a bad idea.
15 - 20 of my kills were on enemy snipers.
How was I ruinig gameplay?
Yeah, the nice thing about BF3 is probably the fact that they get rid of campers the same way you get rid of them in real life: air strikes.
To be fair, I do dislike Snipers. You can literally die at any given moment because of some Sniper 600m away. Damned indigenous bush people.Macgyvercas said:
Anywho...(Slightly off topic), The BF3 Beta was unintentionally hilarious. I mainly use shotguns, and managed to unlock a 12x scope for one. For reference, most sniper rifles are 6-8x.
I think the mod assumed the guy who posted it was the guy who made it. Which is against the rules. It seems likely, new user, and he and the youtube user have usernames ending in 99.Zhukov said:
Almost all the news stories get posted by users first, I've never seen those threads locked.
OT: I really dislike when people mix up camping with sniping. That said, it's not like campers are a big problem if you actually think about it. They might get one cheap kill, then they aren't a big problem. Not that that makes them any less anoying.
That thread was locked because the OP wasn't conforming to standard forum rules. If you just post a link, that amounts to advertising. Being a discussion forum, links should be used to augment a topic of conversation.Zhukov said:

Nice humor vid, but I was under the impression that Battlefield really didn't have "camping" per se. At least, not in the traditional sense. Area (Objective/CP) Defense is a perfectly acceptable (heck, necessary) strategy in Battlefield, running around solo and doing the whole "Rambo" schtick that was shown in the video is, in my experience, the easiest way to die.
Having played almost every game in the series (though, I admit, the only ones that I took online for any significant length of time were 2 and both Bad Company games), I've learned some of the ins and outs of the class system, but I've tended to stay away from the Recon kit, which, if I've heard correctly, is the stereotypical "Camper" kit.
I've never really liked sniping all that much in Battlefield (that doesn't mean that I didn't do it from time to time, of course, I can be a bit hypocritical at times), so I can't say that I would know much about "Camping" from that end. That said, I have lost a fair amount of tickets to the Bad Company Bush-Wookies, so I can understnd the frustration with them. Thankfully, Bad Company has provided one of the best anti-camping measures I have ever seen in a game. Most encounters with snipers can often turn into something along the lines of...
"There's a sniper in that building over ther! He's got the entire road covered! What should we do?"
"Why, level the building, of course."
...Ah, fun times, fun times. Most of the times I played Arica Harbor in BFBC 2, the town would be a rubble pile with roads after my team was done with it, snipers tended to slack off on the fire after the 2nd or 3rd mortar strike, or when we just let the tanks shell the buildings for a minute before we went in. Wasn't a whole lot left to camp from after that...

I can't believe they're dissing Counter Strike in the beginning of that song. Only a serious newb can be killed by a camper on CS 1.6
Good players don't camp, they take tactical positions, and other good players know what those positions are. Real campers never last longer than 20 seconds. And since it's an objective based game what the hell do you expect? Dissing CoD is natural, but dissing CS is crossing the line.
