In mw2 it was hilarious, cause if you were stupid enough to die repeatedly from someone camping and scavenging claymores, you deserved it.

    Camping is only boring when you arent getting kills. But most of the the time that isnt the case.

     Running can be exciting, I'm not against it, and enjoy it when I do it. But when holding one spot without moving the excitement builds with each kill.

   Think about it .. every kill running offers pretty much the same odds as the last. Each one is about who locates the other first. .... total suprise for each player.

    When you are camping every kill compromises the suprise effect even more. The enemy knows where you are and when you will be there. The camper on the other hand has no clue when and from what direction the attack will come.

    I do more sniping than camping........ (although they are technically the same thing) but each kill intensifies that urge to bail. Fighting that urge while trying to stay focused keeps the excitement going.

   Another satisfying thing ... and quite suspensful is when you are well hid and you can hear the enemy footsteps right beside you or right behind you ............ and in some cases even I'v had people walking on me. If you make a move or a sound you're dead. If you jump up and try to spin around to kill them, you are probably dead. But if you hold still, sometimes they have no clue that you are even right beside them. Ads with your scope, thermal, or even the acog and hold it for a couple seconds before firing and the killcam is tougher for them to read.

   Yup ..... camping and sniping are both fun.

Some people are just not as aggressive as other people perhaps. Or maybe bad experience with lag/lag compensation makes them afraid to go out looking around. I know I've had some times where I notice the lag and it makes me nervous to try to hunt people since I'm sure someone is going to end up glitching behind me or something if I'm running around, so getting solid cover behind me makes me feel more secure about things for a while before moving around to another area.

As mentioned, people complain about campers, but run-and-gunners aren't exactly all "skilled" players either. I've constantly been saddled with people who run and gun and...die...a lot...as mentioned, all they seem to do is provide free kills for the team most of the time and barely go positive to VERY negative in matches. And what's worse is, even after getting killed 3+ times, they KEEP DOING IT THE SAME WAY.  ><

I like to think I'm more in the middle of the 2.

If I KNOW an enemy is approaching my position somehow; UAV, AUAV, Portable Radar, something, then yes, I will gladly wait, hide away, and ambush them as they come running through without a thought. When I'm on the move, I DON'T always sprint around 100% of the time. I only sprint all out if I'm sure there's no one there. Otherwise, I will walk carefully, lol. If I come to corners, I STOP and do a quick around the corner ADS and check before moving.

So many times do people just run right past me, even out in the open, but a lot around corners because they get tunnel vision running around and I just backstab them.

I do both but my thing is I paid for the game and got no rule book on how your supposed to play. If you would like to pay for my game you can tell me how to play it. I have Smores!

I camp from time to time and I run and gun from time to time, really matters what the other team is doing.

If the other team is all running around with PP90s and MP7s, I'll throw on my Type 95, and continually pick them off as they run the same route over and over again. If the other team is sitting back and head glitching, my PP90 comes out and I flank the **** out of them and shoot them in the back. I've realized in this game, the most effective playstyle is to adapt to the other team.

If the other team wants to camp, let them camp. I actually perfer it when the other team camps, because I know where they are most of the time with or without a UAV up. Instead of complaining about how many guys you see camping, just learn the maps and learn the easiest ways to knock them out of their camping spots.
