Madest Place to camp

BmanHamo

I have being playing the game a wile and found that stragest places are the best to camp on like in the middle off the street in Karatci, just to the side off B round the coner towards A have got 15 plus kill streeks there.

krudler

Yup, the places where nobody expects, also the best places to put claymores

sierra117x

yeah my mate used to do that thing where u lie on the ground switching guns so u look like a dead body to the other guy . he just stays in really obvious areas then stands up with a shotgun and blows u away

Anthony Walsh

Scrapyard beside bomb site b in demolition, underneath the flaming fuel tank is a good spot too, still though my best killstreaks are from running and gunning like a fool

BmanHamo

would love to run and gun but my pings just are not good enough:mad:. under the small wing in afgan looking in at B is good 2 plus good view of C:D

a thread encouraging camping? tut tut

Paparazzo

upstairs in the house in estate is always good. Use a shot gun, stay away from the windows and watch yous kills mount up

Madest Place to camp?

.... a field or a festival. Keep camping where it belongs.

What is the problem with camping? If someone camps, it *should* be easier to kill them. Even then, camping makes sense, especially if you're defending an objective.
What's the problem? We've moved on from cardboard box rooms in CS

My main problem with camping is in FFA. There is no objectives, lately alot more people are camping. What happens when everybody is camping, no kills . Then some people will start sneaking around slowly trying to find the campers, changing the whole way the game is played. Eventually we will be back at square one in FFA where everyone is running around. Can we not just stay at square 1. Won't someone please think of the children

krudler

I find that the people that complain about campers the loudest are the ones that angrily go back for a revenge kill only to be killed again, and again,and again. more fool them. Its hard to play FFA without camping a little, sometimes I lurk/camp/play defensive/stand in one spot/ twiddle my thumbs/whatever you want to label it, sometimes I run and gun like a loon and wind up with as many deaths as kills, buts at least its not dull.

Well there is always a way to defend camping i.e. sniping or say If you get a predator after running and gunning and you sneak off to a corner to use it and get kill number 6, I find I always fell a bit out of the loop after this and would often wait till I get kill number 7 at least that way I'm more sure of the coast being clear. Holding an area of the map successfully in my eyes would be camping but it shouldn't be frowned upon like sitting in a corner for 10 minutes. I guess thats what gets to me now is people who sit in corners all day. If you can hold a building where you have to keep an eye on a staircase and while shooting out of the windows on more than one side, well then fair dues because it is not easy at all.

My personal issue with it is that a lot of a good streak is based on killstreaks... these need consecutive kills to earn them. Campers end up killing you once and stop that streak... I go back and take him out easily, yes, but that doesnt get my streak back. Campers are unsuccessful in the game but I dont care about their success rate I do however care that they are hindering mine with cheap cowardly kills.

They get one cheap kill on me with no more but that once cheap kill cost me potentially 10+ kills from a streak. Thats not a style of play simply because its not actively taking part in the game, run and gunners mix it up and get their own kills and create movement in a match, snipers provide cover and shape a match area far larger than one person normally would eg people tend to try stay out of his field of view.... BUT campers do nether, they dont create movement, dont get anyway meaningful numbers to influence any team based games and dont attempt to improve... they lay in the dark cowering like a rape victim.

I don't really camp, but on Highrise in Domination when my team is being totally spawn raped at A and the other team have B and C I go up to the window on the far left and point towards B. Usually can pick off a good few guys from there, get a kill streak going and try to end the spawn raping.

In terminal, where the rangers spawn point is, the check in desk to the right, claymore facing in at the back door and a clear view all the way down the plank to the airplane!:D

Hightower knows his stuff keep camping to campsites.
If you're serious about camping then join the scouts....

Paparazzo

Camping is great! Who hasn't camped when they're one kill off a good kill streak?
As mentioned before, if you're any good, just go back and kill the camper. Sniping from one position is the exact same as camping.

The corner in Rust beside the petrol tanker (think it's on it's side) is a great spot too.

I had a great game in Rust last night, with my knifing class. Never tried it before, but will be using it in future. I got to my harriers, and then found a corner to hide in. Just after I called them in, a chap ran past me. I couldn't resiste the temptation to stab him. But just after I did, I got shot. The harriers got me a bunch of kills so I would have gotten my Chopper Gunner, which as we all know, totally rapes on that map.

Oh well, that'll learn me.

Demolition on Estate and camp over at the bombsite at the boat house. Put your tactical insertion on at the boathouse and your kills will shoot up. With this it only takes one person to defend that site!

Thers noting wrong with camping as it part off the play off the game plus if your killed by a camper its because you did not Check the conners.

another funny spot is in termanel standing on the seats around by a by the metal detectors the other team seems to walk by you running from A to C. Thats the other thing no one checks the kill cams anymore

at the back of the house on Salvage, that little ledge you have to climb onto to get to the outside roof part, if you just look left as you come out the window you have a great view down towards C flag , you can get people camping near the truck and they wont have a clue where you are as the chain fence hides you really well, got a harrier doing tha with the Barrett the other night. but as I was sniping it isnt camping

Killstreaks sort of ruined MW2 for me in terms of camping, nearly everyone will start camping after they get the 4 or 5th kill so they can get their AC130/Chopper.... its really anoying, ****.... even i used to do it. So i switched my Killstreaks to 3/4/5....... and i pretty much NEVER camp, unless its domination (I Still dont "Camp", but i'd patrol B for most of the map). I pretty much make sure no1 in the other team gets a high killstreak this way and 9/10 times i'll be top of the kill + points board at the end of game aswel.

Your always going to get campers in any FPS game, but high killstreaks just make it alot worse.

True but its just playing smart, if you're 1 kill away from getting something thats possibly going to win the game for the team like a chopper or ac-130 then why would you get careless and go running into somewhere and get shot? i usually have hardline on so getting 4 kills for a predator is easy enough, and the majority of the time I'll get a double kill or at least aim for one, if i get 2 then I bring in the harriers, if i get 1 I'll skulk around and get an easy kill to bring it to 6. let the harrier do its thing and wait around, if it gets the ac-130 then all good. if not then just restart it again. depends on my mood though.

You're being self-centered. The camper want's his killstreak too you know. He doesn't care about your killstreak just the same as you don't care about his. And because you're 1 off an AC130 and running around the place with your gun and get killed from a campers corner (as you complain about) then that is testament to the campers strategy. He's just prevented you from getting a killstreak reward which could of potentially won you the game, or, implicitly, lost him the game.

You say 'that they are hindering your game with cheap cowardly kills'. You will find that the object of the game is to hinder everyone else's game, it's an obvious statement, it's just like moaning 'they keep killing me', it's what you're supposed to do. I certainly don't think they are there to help your game, or be in a neutral position in relation to it. Maybe you could make a gamertag 'PleaseCampersDontKillMeIDontWantMyGameToBeHindered'.

I also disagree with you where you say it's not a style of play. Of course it is, it's a defensive strategy that obviously works or else they wouldn't be at it. Campers do create movement, they lure people to a certain building/site and reap the benefits. A good camper will often listen out for all the commotion at the door to his site where 3 or 4 people are killing each other, not get involved, and wait in anticipation for the sole survivor to come walking up that stairs just to blow him back out the path he came in.

You say campers are unsuccessful in the game but you seem so frustrated by them. And I doubt you can take a good camper out 'easily' as you say.

The very fact that you're on here moaning about them is proof that they have hindered/annoyed/killed/raped you which from their side of view is proof that the strategy works.

You have two options if you don't want you're game to be 'hindered' (get killed) by them anymore: camp yourself (can't beat em join 'em option), that way you won't interfere in a campers territory so easily. Option 2: just stay away from the preferred camping spots while you run around on your gun's blazing, grenade firing, "I could kill a camper easily" crusade.

krudler

Thats hands down the best counter argument for camping I've read on here.

claiva

Everyone (except El Presador) lurks a little bit to earn their next killstreak reward.
Its the gimps that sit in the dark corner for the entire game that really annoy.
But hey, its only a game.
Whatever.:pac:

shay

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

If you hide inside a door because you are aware there are ppl just outside, or on their way in, its perfectly acceptable to wait and then get them as they walk/run in. Its also perfectly acceptable in my opinion to hold a strategic position.

But if you park your fat ass down in a corner with your sights aimed on the door and this is your M.O. for the majority of the game, then in my opinion its the same as "hatching" in football - anyone can do it and it takes no skill whatsoever.

Therefore - Camping = Andy Cole

overexcitedaj

I used to have to camp a bit to be capable of getting any kills in COD 4 due to my terrible internet connection. i think this could be the only justifiable excuse for camping outright. I love rushing but if i did that i would have been slaughtered. Now that i have a good connection its the Spas all the way

I hate those gamers that literally just sit in a corner or hide behind a door for the whole match. It shows that you're **** and do people not find it so boring?

Ah you'll only get the same old answer from people here....

"I only use that class for fun"
"It wasnt a serious match"
"I only use that for completing challenges"
"Its only a game sheeeesh"

And the list goes on and on and on. :rolleyes:

Enough people making enough excuses and you start seeing the MW2 nights like we do now.... lots of people complaining about these perks / classes / weapons and then go off using them under some paper thin excuse as per the list above.

Yup, that was my point tho, with killstreaks being the main reason people camp their asses off. Most of the time people that do camp for killstreaks end up with **** all kills anyway, at least if they're playing against people that have a clue. If i see some1 with harriers i'll switch to my stinger class and shoot down all their airsupport before they get a kill with it (Depending on the map) Choppers only need 2 stingers to take down and because i usually play with 4-6 guys from my clan, ac130's barely get a shot off either. It also depends on how quickly you can get the kills when camping, i know that if i sit back i'll get alot less kills and be alot less effective at capping and defending flags and HQ's than i would be if i was up in the thick of it. Also, 3/4/5(UAV+Counter) setup is ALOT better for the team than an AC130 or chopper.

Just my opinion tho, and i think its one of the things they're going to do with Black op's.... back to basics.

But it is.

Play how you want I say, if you're caught unawares by a camper, switch to a ninja/coldblooded class, launch a few nades in the door then stab him, problem solved. whinging about the way everyone else plays isnt going to win games for you.

Do you not stand still for a second while playing or something? seems theres no right way but your way to play this game, move too much you're a noob, stay too still you're a camper. :rolleyes:

do i find it annoying when people sit by a door holding shotguns? absolutely, do I take great delight in launching a thumper grenade in the door while they cry and whing about me being a noob, damn right I do.:pac:

what would you prefer, people just let you run around because you're playing the "right" way?

crybaby :P

Why, thanks for the compliment krudler! I just can't see what people complain about when they have the same options/strategies available to them.

For me it's similar to a football team complaining about the way their opponents played (provided it wasn't dirty/cheating). Either they lost and their opponents strategy worked fine or they won and they shouldn't be complaining atall and encourage their opponents to keep using that strategy!!

krudler

I completely agree, if I'm playing a certain way, be it lurking/camping or rushing, and I'm getting creamed, I change. I honestly cannot understand why people keep going back to get killed the same way by the same people then cry about it. they dont have some magic perks that give them a headstart on you (unless you prestige, which i just did, damn lack of ninja pro!) and the more you prestige the more custom classes you get so you have room to mess around or have opposing perks to someone who just killed you. I absolutely love putting on my riot shield class then casually strolling in the door where someone is camping and burying a throwing knife in them as they frantically either run away or empty their guns at me, then waiting for the inevitable revenge attempt, only this time I've picked up their own gun

major bill

ive discovered many spots that i use in hardcore TDM. from these points i usually get good kill streaks and numerous buzz kills. most of the spots are in corners or as someone said places where claymores can be layed and used effectively.The best ones anyway are in karachi the cafe beside the bus. back of the plane in airport where the steps up to it are claymore there aswell.bushes in the air field level right at the top of the map. scrapyard the grey square structure beside the office block.

great:P
