Tongue firmly in cheek.

So atleast one of our party on Cod is very very vocal on his dislike of campers/camping. I remember another from here being the same with GOW.

Often in a lobby after the game you hear the insult being hurled around.

Why in a shooting game is it seen as such a bad thing? I don't understand it. People get killed by snipers then complain they are camping. They are snipers they are not supposed to be running round surely.

Or you get the same foe keep going back to the same spot for kills. "That camping **** has gone back to that spot again"

Surely thats a good thing? You know where he will always be?

"That damn gamertag has killed me again from building X the camping ****"

Hang on, you know he's there and yet he's killed you 12 times. Whose the idiot? Surely it's the more realistic thing to do? Place yourself in the middle of a gunfight what would you do.

Face blanked to protect the innocent but atleast it spawns messages like this one I got on live ;).......

I thought this was gonna be a thread about Soulja's moaning lol

COD4 has kinda got rid of camping with the kill cam. Also what is the point in a sniper if he can't camp? :confused:

Exactly what I think. With regards Soulja, everytime he kicks off I see that video in my head of that kid playing football manager ;)

Anyone know his Mrs or 'partner' as he refers to him, so we can get him to post a film up :D

I agree spawn camping isn't on, but normal hide in one spot picking people off is all part of the game.
 
Why is door camping wrong?

If I know your coming for point A and you likely route is through my door the sensible thing is to give myself the upper hand. Its just the same as protecting the objective. Too many people lose games because they don't protect their own base with a man or two.

My skills at doing that are vastly under rated compared to Soulja's and Wrydo's 400 kills :D

But if someones camping on a game like CSS or search and destroy on COD4, where once you're dead you have you have to wait until the next round, then I can see how people get annoyed by it. :)

Then they are being clever protecting the one life they have. Very rarely does a game of search and destroy get won but guns blazing.

To be honest, I know this thread was tongue in cheek, and I think everyone who plays with Soulja just finds it funny and am 98% sure whether someone is camping or not, it's just the done thing to call a person who killed you a camper in OcUKCoD4 matches.

I don't really think any of us take it too seriously?

Yeah he knows I'm pulling his leg :D
