Yeah, like i said, there are so many other variables in the whole "Camping/Defending" thing that makes defining them really hard to do.Wargamer said:
Infact, i'm going to add "Camping in a key building or structure that is essential for winning shall not be considered Camping but be considered Outsource Defending"
God, i love defining these things! Hang on, let me add "Sniping" and "Outsource Defending" (or if you have a better name for Outsource Defending, please tell me.)
Don't forget the grand old tradition of Speed-bumping.
A Speed-bump is a sacrificial player, who is positioned well clear of the standard defence area. Their goal is simple; to mislead, distract and generally annoy the hell out of the attacker, with the aim of either inflicting casualties on them (and thus making it easier for the main defenders to finish the job), or simply holding them up in an attempt to let the clock run and win by default (timed games only).
My friends and I adopted the term "speed-bumping" due to playing attacker-defender games in Laserquest; usually, all but one player on the Defending team would cover the objective, with one player dug in ("camping") to waste our time.

Hmm, I like doing something similar with the Scout in TF2, i.e. just generally trying to get behind to near the enemy spawn point and peppering anyone I see with the pistol, if you're lucky you can draw off a good chunk of players who have just respawned and will come after you rather than going to the front lines, and the Scout being quick enough you can hold them like this for at least a minute before they either kill you or get smart and ignore you. But, ignoring you is just an invitation to get a bat to the noggin'...Wargamer said:
Martyrdom in CoD4. I can't for the life of me work out why Infinity Ward put it in. There's nothing better for breaking the immersion like having to sprint away every time you kill someone. I reckon it'd be a lot better if it was a 50% chance to drop a grenade or something.
Also Demomen/Pyros shooting through the spawn gates on TF2 (although I believe they patched that)

In zombie panic source the humans always baracade themselves in a room making it damn near inpossible for the zombies to get them.
As a zombie you somewhat have to camp, and because you have no range weapons it's acceptable.

If your a zombie you have to be sneaky and use tactics, also there is only about 1-2% barricades that can't be taken apart, and thats cause its a AMAZING cade or they are abusing a glitch.the monopoly guy said:
Only camping on ZPS maps is fine, tired of the people that do it on ZPO.Codgo said:
i think my cheapest tactic in CS:s for campers on a hostage capture(when im ct of course). is to run by or overall avoid the camperuntil i have the hosties and then i will nudge one of then so it goes right in his line of view, rhinse and repeat until you get to the 3rd hostage. and if he takes the bait i rush in with a SMG and splatter him. also, in the next round he will have no money (and if im lucky he will be kicked by the console)
