Map Control vs Camping (41-4 KC MOAB)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXznij9mOBo&feature=youtube_gdata_player

 

Above is a nice video of a MOAB I got tonight on Village playing some kill confirmed. I'm using the Type 95 and I have akimbo FMG9s as my secondary, so if toure gonba hate for that, don't waste your time watching.

 

Anyway douche on the other team sent me a message after the game calling me a camper and a ton of other stuff, but IMO I wasnt camping, but instead controlling the map. My MOAB streak was relatively short, and even though all the kills came from the same general area, I got constant action and I see that as map control instead of camping. If you are holding down a specific area, recieving constant traffic, do you see that as camping or map control?

 

Feel free to use the video as an example and I'm not gonna get pissy and cry if you call me a camper or say mean things about the video. I recorded it on my iPhone and thought it was a good demonstration of how staying in the same general area can be seen as camping by some, and controlling the map by others

    Good game play bro, video is just boring (add some music or something) but pretty good. I swear by the type 95, but detest it without a red dot attachment.

      yes i agree on that type 95 but its a ***** without the dot .. i forget why i dont have the dot on mine i think so i can have rapid fire .. but i think i have to switch back to the dot ... its just the dot doesnt give it a "advantage' but im not sure rapid fire does either ..

    I'll watch the vid when I get home.

     

    But from your explination of it, i call it map control.  That is my main way of playing.  Get to the "area" of the map I like and hold it down. 

     

    I prefer the word "patrolling" better than camping.    Camping is sitting in a corner waiting for someone to run past you or in front of you for an easy kill.   Patrolling is holding down a small-medium sized area of the map, running different routes in that same general area that gives you the advantage. 

     

    I do this 95% of the time.  The other 5% is me running back to that area of the map.

    good game ... when your were crouched by that car i was yelling look at the radar you are about to get got .. and sure enough you got killed ... what i dont get is how many times some of you guys get shot but yet manage to stay alive is seems like evertime i get shot i go down .. either way i woudnt call it camping .. the type 95 is a beast but i dont like it with a silencer for some reason i have tried it  a few times not for me .

    I don't see camping as a bad thing anyways, though it can be annoying but hey, it's part of the game so people need to just deal with it.  I to like to control an area like that as well, why not?  If people keep feeding you easy kills just stay put and let them do the running lol.

     

    Good video and gameplay.

    Good game play and certainly not camping. We al  know "camping" is just a sore losers word for being killed.

    Re: Map Control vs Camping (41-4 KC MOAB)

    omg come on guys.... im calling it for what it is this is camping....u can label it a million different ways but its a variation of camping as is patrolling, and turtling...

     

    not to mention this is kc the objective is to collect tags... how the hell can u collect tags behind a car????? i wait for your answer on that???? Exactly you cant... moving oo with my second observation...

     

    these guys were idiots i cant believe they just kept coming out of the same spot... if i get killed more than once running the same route im flanking...

     

    it was a nice play on your part to notice these guys weren't too bright so you could have your way with them by camping.. i have nothing against camping anymore its smart play... its just to dang boring for me...

     

    last thing reading your other reply's above u claim to hate camping but in this vid that is what you did... you cant have it both ways.. the next time u get mad because some kid is camping for kills re watch your video and say to your self "i'm guilty of it too"....

     

    i know im gonna catch flack for calling this a good camping gameplay but imo that's what this was plain and simple...

        lol yea found that out in another post on here someone said it.. then i looked it up wiki defined it as such...

         

        Turtling is a gameplay strategy that emphasizes heavy defense. Ostensibly, turtling minimizes risk to the turtling player while baiting opponents to take risks in trying to overcome the defenses.

         

        Consequently, while turtling strategies are usually simple enough for novices to learn and are effective as such, they are easily defeated by experienced players who understand the game's methods to counter turtling.

         

        As a metaphor, turtling refers to the defensive posture of a turtle, which retracts its limbs into its hardened shell for protection against predators. A player who concentrates on defense is said to behave like a turtle, reluctant to leave the safety of its shell for fear of suffering a lethal attack.

         

        Camping is also considered a turtling tactic.

          Gotta say I don't know why (probably something to do with the techno drome) but I like the term although  I don't mind people who can set up a good defense best i've come across so far was on bootleg they locked off the little house/market area at the top with 2 sentry guns and some well placed porti radar. It took 3 lives to get them out of there god bless the EMP grenade

    Re: Map Control vs Camping (41-4 KC MOAB)

    Im sorry but that is straight up camping any way you cut it. All you needed was claymores and a heartbeat sensor then it would be extreme camping. There are 3 things I hate most about this game 1. Camping 2. Heartbeat Sensor 3. Type-95 which in my opinion is the only gun in this game that is overpowered. Due to the fact that 1 trigger pull kills me everytime no matter what distance im at even when I shoot first be it an SMG or an Assault rifle it doesnt matter. Just like the famas and M-16 in all the other games. But good job you are an excellent camper if thats what you like but please dont do it in kill confirmed the 1 game mode designed to discourage camping it really takes away from the spirit of kill confirmed. Please just leave KC camper free its how I get away from the camping in everyother game mode which combined with the worst spawning in history makes the other games unbearable at times. AOW#

        This one was a bit campy but to be fair they did just keep coming so it'd be a dumba*s time to move plus it looked like the game was in hand with no real hope of the other team rallying. The one thing this video displays is you should always have a sniper class ready for when your teammates seem to get stuck in run to the same spot mode.
