Define Camper.

[Wyvern_303]

I am relatively new to the Multiplayer scene, and recently I was starting out on certain Half-life MOD, and I was on the defending team. There were two entrances to the area we were defending. Entrance number one was a partially closed garage-type door, which was really obvious and which everyone defended, while number two was a ventilation tunnel to the upper area of this place we were defending. The other team would frequently flank us and catch us in a crossfire, but no one tried to guard that vent. I took it into my mind to do so. I took a large caliber rifle and sat at one end of the vent, opposite where the enemy would drop down, and whenever they tried to flank us, I would shoot them. After a few times one of the other team started calling me a camper as well as a few other insults. I thought a camper was someone who guarded an item, like a healthpack or weapon or something. I thought I was keeping the enemy from flanking us. Sorry for such a long post but could somebody clear up this camper thing for me /infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif

Rather unreasonable of them seeing as you were not camping but on 'overwatch'. Camping is defined as the selfish act of staking out an area of opportunity just so you can get a few frags. If you are purposefully watchful of your sector for the good of the team or objective however, you haven't done anything wrong.

They were calling you camper, because they couldnt come up with a better strategy than to use the same tactic over and over after you forced them to do different. What you were doing was smart, not camping. I think with real life games, camping has to be radically re-defined. To me a camper is someone that holds back while his team aggresses, or generally stays in one spot and doesnt help the team at all.

Or someone who sits in a corner and shoots people as soon as they respawn, before they can tell wtf is shooting them. What you were doing is smart strategy. The team could have perfectly well avoided it but they were too stupid.

yeah, besides, camping in strategic areas is allowed in games like counter strike and infiltration...
