Camping and you

I don't remember the last time you captured any flags except the one you spawn near.

Of course you never see me capturing them when you're hiding in a corner :p

Yes you'll hide at a flag for ages and then whinge that no one is coming, yet you still sit there hoping for some easy kills instead of getting flags now you know that one is safe.
 
hahahaha i love this one

I play ofp arma 1 and 2 a lot and im allways a sniper well that creates the need to lay in one spot (camping) but people moan and say stop camping you cheat.

its a bloody war sim did they say to the snipers in ww2 hey stop cheating you keep killing my men and we cant see you come on stand up and run around.

Do you have the most deaths too though ?

Ive seen people who think they did great on TDM by having 20 odd kills, thing is they will have 20 deaths too. Other people may have only 10 kills but only died once.

Who contributed most to the team...

In my opinion the person with 20 odd kills has contributed the most. If he decided to hang back like the rest he may of only got 10 like the rest on his team, the missing 10 kills could be enough to turn it from a loss to a win for his team.

IMO in an objective based game I see no issue with it as it is part of the game but I don't really get it in a TDM mode. I have found a few times especially on MW2 (which weapon mods/perks and maps seem to encourage it) that both teams will just camp and it takes any fun and tempo out of the game.
 
User to get really annoyed with people whining about camping.

CoD2 SnD on defence, sitting around the bomb sites waiting for attempts at a plant, pop up and kill "omg camper noob loser omg get a life".....clearly idiotic immature kids who don't have a clue what defence means.

Same with CS on hostage maps. Do people seriously expect the defending team to come rushing at the attackers?

Attacking team camping is the big problem, it's especially annoying if they are on your team and they are last one alive and camping. They aren't going to win the round like that and everyone has to wait out the round for respawn.

You are aware that for every death you have you are 'giving' the other team points. Id much rather someone had 10 for 2 than 20 for 15 (+8 versus +5)

Having a positive kill death ratio is what wins TDM!

Kill spread is far more important that ratio.

A 10-2 player has a net worth of +8 for the team while a 7-1 only has +6

Thats what I just said wasnt it. I meant kill spread than ratio (surely that was obvious where I said +8 is better than +5)

However people still seem to judge their own skill by k/d ratios.
 
Sorry, I focused on the word ratio in your post.

Ratios mean nothing, I have a kd ratio of 2.2 but have lost a huge amount of games, so I quite clearly suck at cod. Although that's mostly because I play with Alrik and all we seem to do is play TDM on domo when he's hosting, rather than on the proper TDM setting.

But yes, camping is a tactic and if your getting annoyed because someone is staying in the same spot and shooting you all the time.... you know where they are.... kill them...

Personally I subscribe to "shoot and move", because unless your playing hardcore or have a silencer everyone knows where you are as soon as you shoot anyway.

If you can't kill a camper, try harder.
 
I camp sometimes but even when i do i tend to move to a few different places on the map otherwise staying in one spot the whole time is asking for trouble and to me camping and campers are no more annoying than people running around with the still gimped 1887's or people running around only using the knife :p .
 
The example of someone on Dom defending their flag isn't camping, regardless of their setup. You're there to defend that flag. If you're just in the ideal spot to rack up kills, regardless of where the flags are, that's camping. It's boring to see people play Domo as if it were TDM.
 
I don't have a problem with campers, they can 'camp' all they like.

I believe its not camping, if your equipped with a sniper.

A sniper would clearly have a position he'd camp at - in a Dom game it would be defending a flag. In TDM it would perhaps be a position the team have stuck to if that's how it's being played. I think it's a bit different when the sniper contributes nothing to the team (ie: just his own KD in a dom game).
