MW3 Rage Question - WDPC?

Why Do People Camp

 

Yes its a stupid question but its one that will never leave my head.

This is the single MOST annoying thing in the game, the fcking noob that sits in a corner/at the top of stairs/in a window or on a roof that kills anyone that happens to walk by.

 

This really distinguishes those who are cowards and those who are not.

 

 

Camper's excuses:

1. I was reloading

 

2. I was defending

 

3. I was patrolling

 

4. I was waiting to regenerate health

 

5. I saw a guy coming on the UAV

 

The skilled player's response:

1. You were camping

 

2. You have no skill


3. You were scared to fight

 


Please offer me your opinions on whether you think im right / wrong

And before ppl start flaming me saying im probably just complaining bcoz I get owned by campers, your wrong... Im always positive K/D.

    This question is always going to be asked over and over and I don't think there is a right/wrong answer.

    It does not really bother me if people camp once you know where they are you can easily take them out.  There are times when you go running past a camper and get killed because they are hiding in a corner somewhere, but then that is my fault for not taking my time to check and just blindly running around assuming no one will be hiding.

     

    I also have some friends who are not very good at MW and never have been, for them to run around is pointless as they dont kill anyone and end up dying over and over.  So its best to just stay in a room and take people out when they can, it works for them even if they only get 1 kill and then the same person comes back to kill them.

     

    Some people hate it some people don't really care but for me I would rather have campers than quickscopers.

        Where QSing goes bad is when players try to do nothing but QS. And then their teammates are getting picked 2 or 3 enemies because there basically playing at least 1 person short. Ive never seen a good "pure quickscoper". Post all the vids you want but unless I see it in a real game for myself then its a private match in my opinion.

         

        I hate having those players on my team and really beating them is a shallow victory but heck i'll take it.

         

        The real good QSers are the "pure snipers" who use QSing as a tool. These are he snipers that can drive you nuts.

        Yeah I did not mean that I hate all quickscopers or that I dont think it should be allowed.

        The problem I find is that 90% of people that do it are not very good and try trickshots and then end up going negative K/D where as a camper might be able to get a better score (I only really play TDM)

        Those that can do it and do it well I have no problem with and it also does not bother me if they kill me it just means I was not quick enough.

    Re: MW3 Rage Question - WDPC?

    I remember when I first started playing CoD. I went into multiplayer and immediately started getting thrashed hard. I mean hard. I didnt get the game till Xmas ethier so yeah it was real bad.

     

    I remember thinkig about what I could do to ge better and what someone in real life would do to increase thier chances to live. I thought "Im gonna find me a nice little corner or hiding spot with only one entrance and aim down sights".This was long before I was on any forum or even knew enough abou the game to know there are different playstyles and all that.

     

    Needless to say I continues to get thrashes but im sure I pised countless people off. But really thinking back what else could I have done? I had zero map knowledge and zero knowledge of anything else in the game.

     

    The point being, if your a new player or even a bad player, and your getting destroyed with rvry step you take, what else are you gonna do? Really camping is part of the learnig process of the game.

     

    If I would have continued to run out to my instadeath, I probably never would of made progress. It was only when I hide and ADS and was able to slow everything down in my mind to process everything that was going on around me that I finally started to learn.

     

    That being said that was a short phase lol. Nonetheless, you will just have to suck it up and recognize camping has a legit play style. And remember not just noobs camp but some very good players that are very good at camping.

        Re: MW3 Rage Question - WDPC?

        So you when you played your first CoD, you didnt ever camp one bit at all?

         

        I know when I was new, I had to bias toward a camper rusher or whatever other type of play style. I literally thought there was nothing else I could do. I moved I died. At least when I was camping I had a chance lol. Thats actually probably what kept the game fun for me.

         

        Then I learned how to flank.....

            Re: MW3 Rage Question - WDPC?

            Yeah I dont neccessarily remember actually camping, I just remember the above thoughts. I think back now and it makes me chuckle.

             

            But yeah those people obviously are kd whores. But like I always say they paid for the game so they can do what they want with it. Achieving a high kd is whats fun for them. The only thing you can really do is play with a squad.

    but its one that will never leave my head.

    Do you dream of campers? haha

     

     

    This really distinguishes those who are cowards and those who are not.

    I once thought similar to this, but its a game bro there is no bravery / honor / courage in a online video game.

     

     

    And before ppl start flaming me saying im probably just complaining bcoz I get owned by campers, your wrong... Im always positive K/D.

    Then do not complain if owning them is not an issue, campers my friend are the easiest of targets. Just remember they are around and you must get adapted to that.

    Re: MW3 Rage Question - WDPC?

    Now here is the problem with the OP, your defenition of camping is broken.  True camping is in point of fact not moving towards or attempting your objective.  If you are playing TDM the only objective is killing the other team more than they kill you.  In DOM its capping and holding areas of the map, and so on and so forth for all the gametypes.  So if a team or a team member in TDM want to hold a part of the map like the Security area of Terminal or the Outside/Bar area of Arkaden then in all honesty that is what effective military units do they set up defensable possitions and move as a team.  If your tactics cannot break through this plan then get new tactics.  Now that being said a guy sitting in the back corner of a room or in a blind alley and waiting for someone to pop around the corner is TRUE CAMPING.  But sitting in a window looking out over an area of the map even for the entire game is a good tactic, and if you have a team of guys willing to gaurd a side of the map and cover each others areas when one goes down will not lose very often.  Grow up, if you want to run and gun then I am not doing to complain about that do not complain about me and my team working together to defeat you using military strategy in a FPS.

        Re: MW3 Rage Question - WDPC?

        this is the thing about Dom too if all of your people are running to cap each flag and leaving no one to defend the one you already have your done for.  I usually rush the second flag while my team caps the first and then after I have the second flag I stay near it and waste fools who try and cap it.  Camping as you call it is a vital part of anygame  what you are complaining about is a legitimate strategy of covering an area.  Now if you shift focus to guys who stand and gaurd themselves only sure thats a complaint I can deal with, but don't complain about me or anyone else (even in Dom) staying back and sniping so that the teams rushers can cap flags.

      Re: MW3 Rage Question - WDPC?

      I know what you are saying.

       

      Just because the OP can't use his brain when playing a game that REQUIRES strategy, he cries foul. I'm tired of these little children, "You have no skill" blah, blah, blah. On the contrary, the OP has no skill. You need to anticipate other human beings reactions. You know where people will spawn or at least you should be constantly making your best judgment on that through out the game. Also, humans are a repetitive species so MANY players run the same lines over and over again which sets people like me up to AMBUSH your a$$. That's called being smart. Skill....please.

       

       

      "Im always positive K/D." Then why complain about camping when it's been talked about in 20k discussions? I apologize if I sound harsh but this soooooo incredibly dumb to discuss, again.

    Re: MW3 Rage Question - WDPC?

    You know what's more fun than camping and killing enemies?

     

    Camping, killing enemies and then listening to them rage about how you just snapped their huge killstreak.  (Or for those that don't learn, killing them a 2nd, 3rd or 4th time from the same place.  You should hear some of the naughty words that come out of some of their mouths!)

     

    Priceless.

     

    And while not about camping - it's also fun listening to folks rage (sometimes multiple times per game) when I take down their air support before it even reaches the map.  It gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling inside.
