In general, if you can't get around a camper, or take that person out, then you probably shouldn't be playing seriously enough to really whine about any kind of camping.
Touchetellmeimaninja said:Well, there are many other ways. Camping requires them to stay in one spot. Either flank them, or if you lack the resources, avoid them. If neither of those work, your lack of skill is for more to blame than their camping.feather240 said:I agree with you, but what about realistic games where your effective range isn't far enough and you don't have cover. (Let's assume there are no smokes.)tellmeimaninja said:Camping is perfectly acceptable in all games. Seriously, it seems that I'm the only one who understands why they give you grenades...
i agree with you.Trivun said:I think people who spawn camp are as bad as cheaters. Campers who use aimbots are cheaters simply because of the bot. But otherwise? If you mean finding a good position (such as somewhere with a clear view of the one place everyone has to go past to play the map, such as in CTF) and camping there, then it's a legitimate strategy and you can and should use any weapon. I do that myself sometimes. Cmping is perfectly fine, and anyone who complains should consider what would they do if they were in the actual military? Because if you try to run'n'gun against the IRA or the Taliban, you'll die. Quickly. And painfully.
On a side note - I recently played the original Halo, custom edition version, online on PC. I was on a classic map, Ice Fields, and was being driven in a Warthog as the gunner. The vehicle in question had a rocket turret that I was using. I killed someone on the opposing team, he instantly called me a noob and said that rockets don't take any skill to use. Bearing in mind I was being driven around erratically, I use a laptop without an actual mouse (I have a touchpad) so aiming is very iffy, and I was trying to shoot at a moving target, meaning that a degree of skill was involved in killing the guy. I killed him more with other weapons in the game and he got annoyed. My question to you people is, was he right? I get the feeling he was a whiny 14 year old who couldn't play Custom Edition on XBL so he decided to troll a few PC servers, and got pissed off because he was crap. Who agrees with me, or with him?
That doesn't make sense...why exactly is it that using the Barrett makes you a bad sniper? Because that just seems to be wild opinion to me.DtDust said:With the major one shot kill sniper rifles, you should only need one shotsasquatch99 said:And how does using the Barrett mean you suck at sniping, period?
IMO its being lazy or bad. I have no respect for the people who pick the odd spots and just sit there with something stupid like a machine pistol or a smg and pick off people to far away. I think the best snipers are the ones who never take more then a few shots a spot. They have 4-5 spots over the whole map they run to making it hard to find them.ThisTypeofThinking said:You can't really stop it, but I think it shows a lack of creativity and skill outside of sniping, or they're just being lazy. However, a good sniper will be roaming, whether that's the traditional, get a few kills, relocate, repeat, or just walking around with a sniper rifle.
Same here.Bato said:As long as you don't spawn camp, I'm cool with it.
This, just... This.Flying-Emu said:In my experience, a stationary sniper is a dead sniper.
No, he'll move from his hide. To leave his AO would require the player fire once and then disconnect from the server.Chester41585 said:A real sniper in any FPS would kill a target then move from his AO.
