and the entire point of that scrutiny and your post was...?
ontopic: no I do not have the time or patience to sit in a corner, even with a sniper rifle. I move around with every gun I use because I prefer the practise of encountering people head on (even with snipers, I love a challenge). Of course Im talking PC Gaming here. I can imagine there a lot more campers on consoles because its harder to move fluidly without much practise.
I snipe like you should in the real world. One shot, made from a good position, then move before you give that position away, take up a space somewhere else, and wait for the next opportunity. There's a difference betwen camping and sniping, and I only ever snipe with a sniper rifle, in a semi-realistic way. I don't even wait to confirm kills, just make the shot and get the hell out.
I sometimes camp when I'm defending a post, or if I know that a guy with a rocket launcher is coming our way in Halo 3. I'd say that for those reasons, I find it necessary to camp, but other than that - I'm charge head-first at the opposing team and I just hope that I don't get shot by more than one person.
Am I a camper, or do those reasons allow it?

Well as I very rarely play games where I have to target people myself, I have very little experience on this topic. I have however noticed that the smartest tactic for a talentless, patient idiot like me is to move around behind cover, sporadically "camping" to take out those unfortunate fools who dare enter the open areas.
So what I think is, camping per say is not a bad way of playing a game. It keeps everyone on their toes and make for more interesting gameplay if done "right". As some have mentioned, there are numerous times when it is ok or even expected. So yeah. I pressed "YES" in the poll, because when it is advantagous I sometimes camp. And if my friends think I'm an ass for doing that, they're welcome to scoot over and kick me.

Sometimes I camp, sometimes I don't. Yes I get annoyed when people camp, but only when I can't root them out. In which case they're shit campers.
Camping isn't a bad thing to do. It's a strategy, which works very well if done properly. It is also relatively easy to counter, unless the entire team is working together, in which case they should be applauded for accomplishing what most players fail at: Tactics.
Every camping strategy can be countered. People should stop whining about it and deal with it.

Anyone is entitled to play with any strategy usable within the the game.
I tend not to camp very often, I used to a bit but now I find I do better moving about, now it's just occasionally if I'm sniping.
However nothing gets me more pissed off than someone saying 'N00B CAMPER' or noob anything to be honest... if they're killing you, then they're currently better than you at playing the game, why hell are you calling them the newbie?

No I don't camp simply because I don't enjoy it, I like running around. But whenever I've tried to snipe or temporarily camp in the past I've also been killed fairly quickly, so to say it doesn't require skill is wrong.
It's also a completely legitimate tactic and they are 'playing properly'. There should be multiple tactics and ways to play a game, and in a first person shooter camping is one of them.
If everyone played games in exactly the same way it would be a pretty boring multiplayer experience.
