Camping for Killstreaks Solution

So camping many people have been talking about it and how high killstreaks make people camp even more well I thought of a solution that may be good I'll let you guys decide since I can't see anything wrong with it at the moment

So lets say your killstreaks start at 3 for your first one after you hit that 3 killstreak you basically have a non visible timer lets say 20-30 seconds after that time is up and your in the same spot or general vicinity "30 foot circle" a timer pops up and you need to get 30 feet away from that spot or your killstreaks restart so I was thinking if it takes 5 seconds to run 30 feet then the timer will say 10 seconds and countdown

So lets hear it from you guys is it good? If you have any ideas to improve on this idea post them but this was my general idea when I've been reading all the camping threads

    So the guy moves and then hides/camps somewhere else and if he runs to the other side of the map, after 30secs he can go back to his original camping spot.

    And also what about snipers?

    What about on Headquarters when it takes time to get inside the Headquarters and then actually capture it.

    Re: Camping for Killstreaks Solution
    I'm sorry, but the vast majority of the suggestions geared towards preventing the camping for killstreaks is just silly.

    Mainly because all the ideas have been some sort of variation of hurting someone who has been within a certain vicinity within a certain amount of time, which in theory would prevent camping. But what MANY people fail to account for is that just because your not constantly running, doesn't mean your camping. That, and that sometimes, camping is a necessity. There are times when sitting flat on the ground outside of enemy awareness and just waiting is the ONLY tactical thing to do.

    The only solution to the camping for killstreaks is to make well designed maps that flow nicely, lots of HP so there aren't any insta deaths, and killstreaks that aren't worth camping for.

    I agree, there are times when laying low and staying still is necessary, there are times when it is tactical, BUT if you lay low and stay in that same spot while racking up kills, thats camping not being tactical. Thats being a douche-bag. This Idea also does not hurt you, it just forces the killstreak campers to move once they acquire a killstreak. This would be wonderful. If you don't like it, then your a killstreak camper, and you can stay playing modern suckfest 3000.

    You also don't have to constantly be running, you can easily keep moving slowly and tactically.

    More health wont prevent camping, it will just turmn the game into Halo. I love Halo, but I want to play Call of Duty Black Ops With fewer campers.

    If I'm laying low and staying the same spot while racking up kills, then I'm doing the objectively smart thing.

    If I am certain the enemy will come to me, I'm not going to risk running out and getting shot. If I KNOW THEY ARE COMING, I'm going to let them come for easy kills. Thats the objectively smart thing to do.

    Camping is finding a spot, and waiting there, for the entire match to go through, and never deviating from that spot. Just because I'm not moving, doesn't mean I'm camping. There is a huge difference. Learn it.

    Want to know some issues with your system? Okay, what if my team is getting spawn camped. If I so much as leave a vacinity that happens to fit your description, Ill be shot to pieces because thats how spawn camping works. I could try to get a killstreak to help my team get out of the spawn trap, but if I can't leave such a vacinity, then I can't get that killstreak, so I'm stuck.

    Also, why couldn't I just step out of your little vicinity for a few seconds, and then go back to my camping spot? Hmmmmmm. Your system isn't perfect, and most that are similar share the same fate.

    I agree, your proposed solution would solve a lot of issues, but it would also create many issues in the process.

    I've said it before and Ill say it again. The only way to effectively stop camping for killstreaks is to make the killstreaks not worthy of camping for, and to make camping the not fun thing to do. If maps are well designed and you don't die instantly, then running and gunning will be the fun thing to do.

    Camping for killstreaks was never a problem in COD4 or W@W. It only happened in MW2 because of the ease of use of weapons, **** maps, and devastating killstreaks.

    Re: Camping for Killstreaks Solution
    Or you could just amp up the killstreak requirements and instead of killstreaks you could have kills per game.  This would take care of the complete crowded-ness of killstreaks in mw2 and stop some of the camping.

    Ya the point of sniping is they have to camp they are entitled because thats how snipers play, when have you ever heard of a guy running around with a sniper. Sniper have to camp to kill enemies but the ones that sit there with a shot gun in the stair-well are the noob campers that shouldn't be camping. Unfortunately its almost impossible to fix i think that's why treyarch is making destructible terrain so if you are camping then with a shotgun you are going to get exposed because people see where you are at before they die and then when they re-spawn they destroy that area so no more camping their while snipers shoot people from far away so they are less likely to have the enemy know where they are hiding that is the only solution i can think of since it did work for the Bad Company 2 demo i destroyed the building that were filled with campers with shotguns and snipers where harder to find so snipers lasted longer camping and that helped alot making it fair for snipers but making noob campers who had shorter ranged weapons be pushed out of there "happy zone". Do you agree with that?
