Todays Issue: The Case against the Camper...

COD,
First of let me start this thread with a clear statement "I am not hating on this gamestyle". Clear? Good.
The rationale behind waiting in a spot is to get minimum effort kills, sounds easy. And it is, nothing outside this game can be easier then to sit and wait. But that is not why I write this.
I still don't find the argument against it?
This might confuse you, and you might believe I camp, I dont. But I do not complain when I encounter those who do. After a few years of playing, you realize how to best handle the opportunistic camper and the very effective camper. You cannot avoid dying by them, you cannot period.
The bottom line is this and I stand by his: Your gamestyle is the only true way to oust a camper! I personally would rather deal with a camper than a very good rusher, a good rusher is truly the ones you do not want to deal with, they will mow many down before they themselves fall, if they fall.
So again your game style needs to be counter productive to the camping game style, unfortunately I cannot explain it to you. You really have to learn as I mentioned "how to best deal with it". Trust me, simply calling someone a camper does not help! Do you think they don't know they were camping?
So to those who actively camp (you know who you are) tell everyone you do, and if you wish to put your style to the test let me know if TDM is your thing.
odd that you chose TDM.
The reason i say that, is that in core TDM (from my experience) it's a lot of run and gun. awesome, whatever. It's mega chaos and crazy!
however, in HCTDM, it seems to be tons of corner creeping and everything is so much slower and "camper" friendly. It's stressful! haha
Again,this is just my experience with it.
Not trying to hyjack your thread or anything. I like to play the HC games, so i just thought it funny (funny odd, not funy haha). :-)
You got that right, you can't avoid dying by them. They will get you at least once and it's up to you to change up your style your next respawn.
You do have some options when you encounter said "camper". You can:
a) avoid said area at all costs for at least one minute in hopes that someone else flushes them out
b) run in there, akimbo FMG's in hand or Rocket launcher on your shoulder and flush them out yourselves
c) one of my personal faves it to pull out C-4 and land it anywhere near them..tick..tick..BOOM!
I actually LOVE campers. Oh yes, you heard right, I love them! The only reason I love them is because of the game mode I play. HCKC. If the other team is camping, I can guarantee a win. If I am playing TDM and the other team is camping...that's another story.
Right I mostly play core, TDM and I do well vs campers.
Its the predictable campers that i love, you know the ones that keep returning to the same spot time after time during the game, even when you waiting for them, easy kills
I can attest to this! Nice one, but love campers? hahaha I would say I prefer them,,,
Those are my fav, I call them the opportunistic / easy ones. They are usually the new COD players.
I had one guy come back to the same spot 8 times in one game to the building in the corner on Seatown, thanks for the killstreak..lol
So is one of the best tactics against campers to out camp them?????????
Well to anticipate a campers position is not really camping, is it? I'll call it the "Rambo Camper" haha.
Rambo camper...i like that..
