    1. Bring back multiple grenades(ie CoD4).  While there wasn't as many routes in CoD4 to flank campers, you could lob a few grenades into known camp spots. I know that I personally became an artist with my grenades, banking them off walls and such or getting the angle just right to fall through a hole in a roof to nail someone crouching there. Since then we've only gotten one grenade, making it harder to get and advantage over the sitters.
    2. A spot mechanic and covering fire mechanic. Yes, I know these are BF3 things, but both are great ideas.  See an enemy camping? Tag them for your teammates. Get killed by a camper? That enemy gets tagged, promoting movement by the enemy. The only way to get rid of the tag is to leave the area where you were, say within 50-100ft in every direction. Lets face it, this is how battle works nowadays. Spotters identify areas where the enemy is located, communicating this information to fire teams who advance on those positions. The enemy can use this to their advantage as well, moving around the board to set up the spotters and flank fire teams who attack their last known position.  As for Covering fire... the oldest known tactic in the era of firearms. Fire towards the direction of a known enemy position. The incoming fire may not hit the enemy, but it forces them into cover. The incoming barrage blurs their vision and makes it difficult, if not impossible, to return fire with any accuracy, allowing for team and squadmates to advance on a position. Its how "campers" are dealt with in real life.
    3. Destructible environments. Black Ops toyed with this idea in limited amounts on some of their DLC maps, a very very limited amount. But it makes sense... someone camping behind a cement barrier? Use an RPG attack to blow up their cover.  Someone camping in a corner of a building? Chip away at the wall with small arms fire or use a C4 to blow the walls to smithereens.  This would change the dynamics of the game as the map would look dramatically different at the end of every match. Buildings reduced to rubble would create new positions for firing and flanking from the rubble piles, and it would get rid of this idea CoD players have now of their "favorite spot". Every game would be different, and Camping would become a lot more difficult as the player would have to adjust to the changing conditions.
    4. If its gallp camping, lay out a delicious assortment of cheeses, meats, and fine wines. He won't be able to resist and will fall right into your trap.

     

    I know some of these ideas have been used in other titles, none of which are as fun to play as CoD. But we want innovation, and its time for CoD to step up to the plate.

      It would be great to see some new perks or mechanics in the game to asisit with camper hunting (which can be alot of fun if you are in the mood).

       

      I'm not to sure about this scope that looks through walls though. That seems a step to far for the multiplayer game for me.

      I like all of these ideas, except for building being reduced to rubble. This would in a way ruin it for those of us who rush to the enemy spawn. We need to reload, do it in a building in the enemy spawn.

    When playing with a party. Attack from more sides.
    When not playing with a party. When a teammate goes to the camper follow a bit behind.
    When teammate gets killed then use your tac nade. And go in for the kill.
    A lot of campers will reload after a kill. When flashed/stunned and reloading great window to get him killed.
    Learn the nade spots to get to known camp spots.

    Get rid of kill streaks and down grade them to the standard 3,5,7 KS like COD 4 and WAW and we will enjoy all game modes again!

     

    No camping for high kill streaks.

     

    Also, just get rid of K/D all together.  People wear that as a badge of honor.  Its a joke!

      How is it a joke? I don't understand that at all? I have close to 30000 kills but just barely over 10000. That's a remarkable K/D. Why can't that be my "Badge of Honor."?

      I don't know if we played the same CoD4 and W@W, because I distintly remember people camping for entire matches just as much as they do now, even with just the lower killstreaks.

       

      The killstreaks are not the problem here, it's the playing style. Nobody is at liberty to say it's invalid and attempt to eliminate it via getting rid of certain features, however. Since we believe that it is an inferior tactic, we can share and find ways to exploit its weakness.

    1. Watch killcam

    2. Stun

    3. Semtex

    Flash bang

    Stun granade

    Frag

    Sticky semtex

    C4

    RPG

     

    But my fav is to send the camper a message, 9 out of 10 times they will read it there and then and you can walk right up in their face and shank them.

      Uhh...I would never take the time to read a message in the middle of a game.  That's just plain sad.

    I do enjoy reading how you'd deal with a camper who's intelligent enough to know, anticipate, and counter all of your strats.  Personally, I just camp in return

     

    There is, however, an inconsistency in this thread that none of you seem to mention or bring up.

     

    If you get killed by a camper and you use one of these "awesome, clever tactics" to kill them in your next life, then that camper went 1-1 against you, right?  His kd didnt benefit; its just a 1.00 in that situation.

     

    What most of you dont seem to acknowledge is that most campers, if theyre camping right, have pretty awesome kds  (Look up the GT rufiodacamper if you dont believe me, he has a kd around 5.00-6.00).  Therefore, they must be killing SOMEONE more than being killed by that person.

     

    Thus two things are possible here:

     

    1. Everyone in this thread is some sort of godly camper-killer who only dies once to them 99% of the time and is uber pro mlg at beating expert campers with their tactics, or

     

    2. People in this thread are talking out of their ass and in reality get **** on by *****-ass campers multiple times before they finally get lucky, rage quit, avoid them, or never see them again for the rest of the match because they're too busy being spawn killed by the camper's huey/dogs.

     

    Wonder which is more likely.

     

    PS.  Why do you all think I run a class with flak jacket and tactical mask?  It's either that or ghost/second chance.

      What you're failing to mention is that it's not a 1v1 match. If I sit in a corner, I will see 1 enemy, kill him, and by the time he makes it back, I would probably have killed 1-2 more people that run by. That gives me a 2-3 k/d. Does that really make me good? No. I sat in a corner ADSing until someone ran by. The same goes for if you start in one corner, kill someone, move to a corner very close to the one you were just at, kill someone, move back to the previous corner, etc. Does this make you good? You have the advantage by having the better line of sight. Even if they throw a flash bang or stun, there are perks to counter it. You can't honestly believe that campers are good players... It takes no skill.

      Time to change your tampon, That5What5Up. "He went 1-1 against you." The keyword is "You". If your playing with randoms that got the game for Christmas, they are to stupid to check corners and watch a killcam if it's the second or third time in a row a certain person has killed them.

  • Tactical_Player_X96X Apprentice 156 posts since

    Tip/Trick No.

    1. Trick the enemy. Put a tactical insertion or decoy in a secure open area where you're safe and can kill him as soon as the he approaches it.

    2. Find a good spot. The BO maps are designed to have those sniping points, but just cause they call them sniping points doesn't mean you can only use a sniper, pull out an overpowering assault rifle e.g. the Galil and fire away.

    3. Put down a tactical insertion close to where you are camping. People tend to look at there kill-cam when they know their being killed by a camper over and over again, its a matter of time before they chuck an explosive at you and blow you up, BUT a good placed tactical insertion will spawn you right near where you left of, prepare to engage as soon as you respawn and open fire as soon as he approaches your position. Repeat this step but make sure to keep changing the position of where you've place it so he doesn't spawn trap you. Remember if you think the enemy is going to spawn trap you, just don't respawn there, usually u are given a second or two after you die to see where the enemy is heading towards if he's approaching your tactical insertion DO NOT RESPAWN. 

    4. Use ghost so your position isn't revealed on the radar, pro would be even better.

    5. Play on objective games modes, especially camp if you are defending as that's where the enemys will be approaching your position. Headquarters is the best for this as typically you will be the last alive and all the enemys are for you to kill plus you move around the map what's useful because you need to change your position a lot to avoid being having your location spotted.

     

    yep I know, I'm a pro camper.

      Again, you all are being dumb with the explosives.  FJ/TM fixes the stun/nade problems, and sticking campers is just too unreliable when they know what theyre doing.

        i think you are being a bit hostile camping does not bother me it is a legit style of play, calling me dumb is a little out of order . i must have never ran into a camper of your skills or magnitude , those things i have stated ocasionaly work for me as does c4 if im quick enough i never mentioned a sticky grenade i very rarely use them .

          I deal with campers the old fashioned way. If I'm shot by(or a teammate is) a camper, I guarantee you the next thing that happens after I spawn is a a "Wumph" sound as my rifle grenade arcs into his location. Sniper dead, problem solved. But I am a bit single-minded. I'm sure clever camper hunting methods have their uses too.

            Tried and true. The noobtube is my go-to anti-camper weapon. I love hearing them ***** about it.

             

            Also, on Firing Range, I cant tell you how many times I killed someone camping the corner of the trailer park house just by walking up to the wall and filling it full of bullets.

            That little sound has been making the camper children cry since '07.
            With that great power, comes great responsibility. Explosives are great for taking down killstreaks or flushing out a locked-down position, but I draw the line when people run crazy with them.

          I didnt mean to call you dumb, see my previous post on why it seems like people are targeting campers.  Theres no "farming/hunting rusher" topic, but as you may notice campers generally have higher kds; a FJ camper is rarer but smarter.  The amount of advocacy for explosives on this thread simply means that not enough campers are being smart, not saying I happen to be a good camper or even one anyway.

    That electro sniper rifle from the campaign, and Xray scopes. Probably as killstreaks, but still.

    Ain't nothing wrong with taking cover. Mobile camping is the way to go, ambush the people who think the best way to play is run around getting all shot up and then blaming their lack of stategy on campers. It makes me laugh! I guess core is different, I only play hardcore so you got to watch out. I want campers, run and gunners, snipers etc on my team. Learn how to play all styles and depending on how the match goes adjust your game play. Stop giving campers grief, they are the easiest to kill anyway. Check your corners son!

      One of the best techniques is to have a few folks watching an area, then have runners funnel the enemy towards those guys. If everyone runs everywhere, the spawns become a mess and you get spawn killed.

        See, thats why youve gotta camp smarter.  running back to the same spot every time is disgraceful to us true campers.  you want to be in a different corner every time

    Just for kicks I'd rather just camp and make the run and gunners rage quit.

      I don't quit. Ever. 1 v 6? OK, I'm game. Some creepo w/a sniper rifle sure isn't forcing me out.

       

      If you have a coordinated team, btw, a charge-and-flank works well a lot of times. One guy charges the sniper(using available cover) while your buddy slips around behind. He might get the charger-but then its over and you can leave a claymore or betty in his favorite camping spot.

        I'm not so sure 1v6 is the worst situation you could be in.  If youre good then you can beat the enemy team's average on your own, a pro could easily win tdms if he didnt have anyone else dragging him down against an entire enemy team.

         

        It's when you're being spawn killed by 3-4 different enemy killstreaks that you start to consider quitting.  I know you may be a die hard, but sometimes your joke teammates wont stop giving the enemies blackbirds and dogs, so are you sure you want to stick around for that?

         

        In the same fashion, a camper wont force you to quit just by camping you with his weapon; its when he kills you and your teammates enough to unleash dogs/hueys that you really start to rage (and I wouldnt blame you)...

  • That5What5Up Expert 1,003 posts since

    You know gallp13 I just reached an interesting thought:

     

    The camper's effectiveness is highly dictated by your team's composition.  If everyone on the team was a camper hunter (and a good one), campers would just die and likely quit and search for another game right?

     

    But the usual case is that every team (at least random ones) have some noobs and very low-kd people on it.  These people are the ones who rush out and use the same routes, getting mowed down by campers every time.  Every TRUE camper is in it for the kdr, so theyre aiming for the highest streaks (chopper gunner/dogs). 

     

    Thus it isnt just a matter of killing a camper after he/she gets you.  It's a matter of taking them out before they can draw enough kills from your team (at least your really bad teammates) to really screw you over with killstreaks.  A kill is a kill, regardless if its you, an mlg pro, or a total noob.

     

    At the end of the day, if youre camper hunting, youre racing against the clock to control the camper's damage before their killstreaks snowball and blow your team into oblivion.  Pretty awesome imo

    As a camper, I can tell you that the best trick to get rid of me is to throw a flash. The camper will allways look in the direction that the enemies come in so chuck a flash and run in.

    • That5What5Up Expert 1,003 posts since
      Nov 5, 2011

      A flash works far better when you have tactical mask.  At least then you can see where they are; but if the camper equips that perk then youll have to go another route.
