IMO, camping is picking one spot and staying there, with no desire to go anywhere else. If you pick a building with a window, and people keep running by or running in, why the hell would you move?

If the action is clearly in another part of the map and you stay far away, ADS waiting, that's camping. Snipers(as much as they frustrate me) are the exception.

This.  Performing map control by holding a sizable area is not camping as long as one will move if the action dries up.

Sitting in a dark doorway with a shotgun the entire match, regardless of activity, is camping.

Sitting in a dark doorway when you know a number of enemies is approaching is not camping.  No one steps out to face 3 enemies and expects to live.  The guy that waits for them to pass till the advantage turns to him is simply smart.

This whole anti-camping movement where everyone thinks there are "rules" to how people play are about as bad as the british army fighting in formation and then getting their butts kicked by the American's who use gorilla tactics.

It's Modern Warfare. People need to start acting like it.  There is no honor in any given play style, just some fabricated rule that is spread by teenagers who are secretly romantics, in that they pretend a video game competition has honor.  Losers.

As far as TDM goes, whatever it takes to win.  An ancient philosophy that is still one of the most relevant principles of war, is to NOT die.  Sure, some cultures glofiry that, such as terrorists or kamakaze's, but it's ineffective in the long run.

Not making yourself a target is an art.  To not die in the face of killcams that show exactly how you get your kills, is a real skill.  It's called tactical maneuvering combined with weapon proficiency.

Someone can get all the headshots while running around randomly they want, sure, they're skilled shootists, but their still very dim people if they can't adapt and overcome.

"Skill"  is not JUST aim ability.  Playing as a competitive gamer, in any given event or platform, whatever's not cheating is more than fair game.  In such an environment the intelligent and capable will simply do better than the idiot savants who are great shots but can't tie their own shoes or walk and chew bubblegum at the same time.

Leave the romantic notion for the ladies.  Come back when you've grown some real testes, that sock in your pants isn't fooling anyone.
