I don't understand why people hate campers? Not everyone has to play game the way you play. Deal with it. It's part of the game.

People will complain about anything these day. In MW1 I would run around with the MP5 or P90 with Steady aim, Stopping power and whatever third perk I wanted (Never martyrdom cause that takes no skill what so ever) And people would complain that I was noob because I would fire from the hip more often than not, but I could pretty much dominate with any SMG with the same 2 perks and still get called a noob. So I can't use a Grenade Launcher a.k.a. Noon tubes, I can't snipe or "Camp", I can't run around with a gun and mow people down, So what the F*ck am I suppose to do? I get mad at some of the stuff left in for the sake of playability like being able to shoot an MG standing up or from the hip but its in the game so what can I do about it? People who can't win complain about why they can't when in the end a bullet is a bullet, kill him before he kills you and be done with it. Don't run in the open and learn how to use your grenades for more then just killing. MW2 sucks but it has nothing to do with the players as it does with how broken the game is, that's why people complain so much about everything that is wrong with it, even if its a FPS gameplay staple such as Camping.

Even if they aren't full time campers many people will start to camp once they get within 1 or 2 of a significant killstreak reward. Get rid of the killstreaks and maybe I'll start playing COD again.

this makes cod:mw2 a lot more tactical.

what's wrong with that?

weren't losers like you complaining that mw2 is just an arcade run and gun FPS. now that it requires strategy and tactics you still whine.

If you can't deal with campers then you suck at the game. The hardest people to play against are the rushers and knifers, campers are easy meat. You get to know where they hide out, all the little nooks a grannies. They can be flushed out with ease.

The writer just needs to get better at the game.

Agree or disagree...it will not change my 1.99 kill ratio!
You suicide runners who constantly run to the spot you just got kill every 5 seconds make me sit in one spot. You are predictable, persistent, and motivated to get a pathetic revenge kill. You feed the beast. My ACR with thermal.

There are people who have fished me out and. And there are those who can't get a shot off. I know all the tactics to eliminate my positions. It is an inevitability camping will fail. But the one weapon that can do it best is the very weapon people whine about as being noobish. The noob tube kills campers period. And due to some stupid honor code amongst gamers. Some people won't resort to it. Your loss.

I am fully capable of adapting. No I don't camp all the time. It depends on my teammates positions and weather threat zones (positions that can compromise me) are breached. When they are I am on the move. The people I play with have been playing FPS with me since xbox-live launched. We will not change for anyone, or any article crying about it. This game happens to support camping tactics. I find that funny. I have yet to see a sign saying shoot here for 5 seconds and please move along.

I play most FPS games like I would in real life. Just how I approach FPS games. I don't drive my tank down unsecured streets in battle field bad company. I don't sprint in the open in Operation Flashpoint series. I do all of the above in halo because it demands that approach with the amount of protection (Shields) afforded to me.

When I play this way I can control the flow of gameplay to my will. But that still depends on my opponent. If you reserve yourself to the same tactic and you have one kill over. Then you have the advantage.

I guess games are the only place exposing yourself to gunfire repeatedly to known enemy locations makes sense. I sure and hell wouldn't sprint across the battlefield in real life. But it's just a game many will say. And this is how I play just a game. Never will I play the way you want me to willingly.

And this is why the javelin glitch was effective. You could clear out a room full of camping B****** in no time.

Stop whining, sir

But in a real war, its the campers that come back alive :P

yeah high k/d or not acr with heart beat is pure garbage you can camp with whatever gun you want but take the heart beat sensor off. and the new side arms ruin the game. ive been wrecking people with the first pistol. no need for any shotgun. atleast in cod 4 you had to only have the shot gun and a pistol no other gun but now they ruined it.

Camping is in every FPS game thats out there no matter the console its fun killing a camper who turns out to be a 12 yr old kid and he gets pist off because he was killed puts a smile on my face. Camping does wreck the game thoe and so does using Juggernaut I forget if MW2 has it or not but it is fun pissing off those little kids. I haven't touched MW2 for a while I been playing Killzone 2 and recently went back to Halo MW2 with all the glitches and the hacks is just not for me.

its really annoying, having to reload every few seconds

I can't stand these pathetic camping losers.

Only cowards and people who like to be douchebags sit and wait for someone to get an easy kill. I'm almost certain that it's over 90% of the population that does this. It's a heck of a lot worse than it was in COD4 anyway, that's for sure.

Honestly, I'm one of the few decent players I have seen in the game. I keep on the move as much as possible and actually help my teammates out if they're in a jam. I don't cower in a dark corner waiting for someone to come by like most others.

If it was up to me, every single one of these retards would be banned from the game they camp in, along with hackers/glitchers and people being annoying over the mic.

Campers are cheaters, in my opinion.

The author of this article needs to stop whining. Camping occurred in every CoD game and was very common. This must be his first CoD game. Sure, I don't like when people sit in one spot, but you cant do anything about it. Its how the game is made.

i dont have problems with campers because i can easily kill them

In real combat they don't call it camping... they call it tactics.
It works and forces the attacker to slow up and have to check every corner. - if you miss the closet with the gun with the 50 kilo suicide bomb or automatic weapon who then just happens to pop out behind you ...

Worse then camping is a whiner. If you camp I'll still kill you.

and before everyone starts bashing there is a diference between camping and protecting an object or when u set urself in a position that allows u to kill more people ( such as a good sniping spot)

camping is when u hide in the darkest and most remote of places without movement WAITING for people to walk right infront of u and then kill them for the entire game and excuse me but thats no stragety thats being a b!tch...

im gonna camp even more . It seems that when ppl get killed by some certain tactic alot it is cheating or should be banned either stop crying u b@tchs or play better ffs

Shouldn't be completely defenseless unless the multiplayer map is of poor design.

Defending positions is a legitimate tactic.

Sounds to me like the person who wrote this B.S just keeps getting his A$$ kicked by the campers which includes me HEY NEWS FLASH (SNIPPER RIFLE) RING A BELL!!! thats why there are Campers dude, not everyone is a run and gunner, everyones play style is different so get used to it, if you cant deal with it dont PLAY its that simple. so ima keep on camping whenever I can and whatever happens just know that from some dark corner of the map ill be watching for you. so in the mean time just relax and STFU!!!

with the adjectives he uses, i thought he was talking about murderers and rapists. Its a bloody game, calm the hell down. And if you are such a bithc about campers, just use a grenade launcher or frag.

Besides, even though your idea of an "amazing" is people running out into the open and shooting each other like mindless idiots, not everyone thinks like you. Camping is just another tactic to give the game more depth.

I usually know where campers are in the map, and just line up a headshot or come from behind and knife them, i got a good kill streak form consistently killing someone that kept going back to his camping spot, idiot.

I just don't agree with the article. Man its the personal choice of each player to play like he wants to. Everything is fair in love and war(remember!) And to kill a camper is more satisfying then anything else.So yeah let them camp. Cuz i am at your back, ready to get STUNNED DUDE.

LOL i love these arguments....

Honestly, there is no right or wrong way to play. Camping is technically not cheating, i have friends who immerse themselves so much in the game they think they are in a real war, so hence they camp. No matter how you look at it, they are not cheating, and neither is the Street Fighter Blanka crouch heavy punch players, the fact of the matter is, you as a player need to accommodate and change your play style to counter theirs.

Seriously, if you really can't cope with some persons preferred style to hull down and stay in a dark seedy corner, then you honestly shouldn't be playing these types of games as well. Camping has been happening since the dawn of the FPS. Yes it is annoying at times especially when it is down to 1 player left, but complaining about it and saying "they don't know how to play" just makes it look like you don't know how to play either if you keep getting killed by them. At the end of the day if they're side is winning, they are doing something right, and you are doing something wrong. Unless of course they are cheating using glitches.

Campers are the clever ones, it is all the idiots that continue to run around like headless chickens wondering why they got shot, then complaining about it that I don't understand. That is how the game was made and if you don't like it why play it. Personally I hate the game and have already traded but for different reasons. I thought it was rubbish in general.

In real life you dont go in the house with the campers you call in the tanks and blow the stupid house up or blow out the wall. Just like in Bad company. And thats something you cant do in call of duty and thats the problem. Watch the campers kill/death ratio go to crap when my team blows out the top floor of every building on the map .

If you have a problem with campers, then your not a good strategic player! As others before me said, do something about it, other then crying about it.

Although it may be a "tactic" it's a crappy tactic, this isn't real life, you arn't going to actually die if you're killed in the game, so why be such a bi*ch and camp? Esspecially if that person has a shotgun, that just makes it all the worse, because you have no chance to kill them (if they are in a tight camping spot.) The point is, what is the point in sitting in your room in real life, just to sit in a room in a game? It's sissy tactics and it's wasted life, don't play a game if you're going to keep the same amount of skill all the way though a game, aim to improve or p*ss off, stop making the game terrible for everyone else. Also the shotguns in this game are extremely over-powered, although in real life they are much more powerful than they are on the game, it's just rediculasly stupid, one shot kill at mid range without even aiming. I just think these people should get a life, rather than just wasting it, making the game terrible and irritating for everyone else to play.

and heartbeat sensors

this game needs some people to camp i get so frustrated every time someone just comes sprinting into my base like a mad man with marathon, lightweight, and commando pro also holding akimbo shotguns it just ruins the fun because the person with the shotguns doesn't even try and most of the time they are sprinting so fast you don't even know that they are coming, don't get me wrong i'm not terrible at this game but this game is just so frustrating that i went back to cod4 which i feel is 100 times better

dont worry people play a better game mw2 is **** anyway . but the first 1 was good

thats why i don't like this game,

i don't mind camping

but when the game PROMOTES camping, eff it, its for kids

Have you seen the civilian death rates in iraq? Far more civilians die than soldiers in war. When you drop a bomb your always killing the guys family thats with him at the time or a random person on the street. Sorry people get caught up bombs are bombs in the city some poor smuck is going to die.

they are the most easy kills. you got to be dumb to walk into a dark corner where known campers are going to hide. I love chucking in a flash bang then charging in with my knife. no stomping me, and if a camper does kill me i will know where he is on the map when i respon AND TRUST me I will kill you next time in that same spot.

LOVE CAMPERS:)

EDIT: I camp when I'm drunk or the phone rings lol. Also if i have been playing for hours I will go rest in a cozy lil spot for a while. Not my tactic but need a cool down from time to time:)

I don’t even feel bad for people playing COD anymore. At this point if you haven’t learned idk what to tell you.

I love pay to win. finally I have a chance.

Oh noez. P2W on a crap game. Guess I'll just... continue to not play it.

Lol I havent played a CoD in probably 15 years. Forgive me for experiencing some schadenfreude on this one.

Finally, I've bought my last COD

If you're the type to willingly log into a crappy Collar Duty game, then you get what you deserve. Either get scammed by giving Bobby Shittick your money over digital junk, or get scammed by other players who paid Bobby Shittick giving them an advantage with their digital junk.

Gaming standards have dropped so low these days that trash games have become the most popular. Such a shame.

Thanks for the money! See you next COD! So glad I dropped COD years ago. Desperately needs competition.

They do this on purpose.They release something broken then when word gets out people will rush to buy it.Then they will need it.

Roll on Xdefiant

The Microsoft effect in full force here. Activision is only call of duty and overwatch now.
