highplainsdrifter Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 personally I've always thought of Halo as a non camping game, in general I don't approve of it but it's a lifestyle choice (no pun intended) and people will do what they want and you'll become better for dealing with that armor lock is seen by a lot of people as a bs AA, that on the other hand I have a problem with because camping is going to happen anywhere but armor lock is a very defensive AA and i'd rather see offensive or neutral ones rather than people jumping up and punching my face repeatedly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Director Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I don't usually camp though, and I don't usually have problems dealing with them. I don't like how most of my teammates don't seem to know how to deal with them though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgentLoFi Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I'm definitely not a fan of camping, for the most part it's not a problem, but on maps like sword base and reflection, it can get on my nerves a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIREN4 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 It's a stragedy to me, although I can REALLY hate campers when they snipe, but ironically when i "snipe camp" I find it very fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Director Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 I would prefer it if my teammates who weren't doing so well would camp, to be utterly honest. It really ticks me off when I go +30 and still lose because my teammates either suck or are having a really off day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talshina Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 It's dependent on situation sometimes. If you have a sniper rifle your supposed to sit and murder anything that roves into your field of vision. But, sitting in one spot for five minutes tends to take a bit fun out of the game. I've on occasion on 4 player FFA with friends sat around in a corner and just waited for somebody to come by just to be funny, with the grenade launcher on CoD that gets even funnier, but you know the crew your with and it's all in good fun. Even grifball some spawn camping is expected, as long as it can be limited to just long enough to get the bomb to the goal. Beyond that your just being an ass. The problem with camping is if you sit long enough in one spot eventually someone will figure it out and come at you from the other direction and ruin your spree. But then again that's the sign of a strategic player to outthink the opponent. If your opponent keeps walking into the same trap then it is in part on them.

It really ticks me off when I go +30 and still lose because my teammates either suck or are having a really off day. have to point this out, this is a good example of why camping isn't a real strategy. It's useful for regaining your composure or avoiding death in the clutch, in other words it allows a player to take the element of surprise to the extreme and provides total awareness. But what did the Director just imply about those players who should do it: they are costing the team points and should sit it out or provide backdoor coverage for awhile. This doesn't mean you have no skill it just means you have less than is apt for the current situation. Gametypes change the nature of this role but on slayer I find it obnoxious and a little cowardly to be frank. If you suspect someone is tailing you and you wait in cover for them and kill someone unrelated that's one thing but waiting around until the first person you camped comes back to kill you strikes me as defeating the purpose of a game. Like I said, it's a personal choice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destroyaaa Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 As long as your not cheating, anything goes. Don't complain if someones camping because it is completely legal. Just like spawn killing is legal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinreaper Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 The main point to this argument was already made. If your a stupid enough player to keep walking into the trap or camped spot to begin with, then who is to blame? Oh what...it's the other guys fault your teammate walked into his shotgun?!? Please. We have all camped and trying to contradict it is useless...you all know you have done it at one point or anther. I find it extremely sad and hilarious that it's fine when everyone else does it and benefits them, but the second it's done to effect you negatively...the "f-in camper" comments come flying out. Camping is a strategy. Defeating a camper takes a greater strategy. Case in point...do you think real soldiers go around talking about how it's unfair their lost the Vietnam War because the Koreans would camp in ditches and tunnels? Nope...they were looked at as smart, and intuitive for using their environment to their advantage. Camping is and always will be around...get used to it, or go home crying! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archangel Tyrael Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I only camp when i snipe, that's it. I usually run around DMR, or if it's assassination daily i'd camp behind corners and stuff for it, if the cR is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zuko 'Zarhamee Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 For me it depends on the situation. Camping a little is okay, but if that's all someone does then it's just annoying. The worst type is spawn-camping because they're killing people who can't fight back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Biggles Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 i never camp, to me, it gets you no where and doesn't really improve you as a player because you aren't learning anything..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIREN4 Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 I only camp with DMRs and Snipers, even then I move from place to place. However otherwise I'm moving on foot or in a vehicle. I'd say it's legit as long as the person with the weapon isn't just being a stupid spawn-trapper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaguroth Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 there is a difference between camping and sniping which most people don't realize... camping you are sitting there waiting for a kill up close usually with a sword, shotgun, rocket launcher or other hard hitting close range weapon, which requires little to no skill at all to get a kill with, unless trying it on an avid halo gamer sniping, you sit and wait for a target who you then have to use skill, or just fire until you hit him twice, to get a headshot or just kill him with 2 shots.. sniping is a skill you perfect, camping is just for lazy people who would rather have people come to them then get into the action and see just how good they really are... anyways thats my opinion on the matter.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShockGazm Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 It's only a "strategy" if you stay in one position for a short amount of time to come up with a plan of sorts, if you just stay there for ages then clearly it's not a real "Strategy", your just not good enought to play the game properly and are to scared to help out ou teammates, so you hide. If I camp, it would only be because I'm either underfire, I'm waiting for my teammates to get closer to me or I'm waiting for an opportunity. Though keeping in mind I don't camp for long, 20 seconds max. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
