I had an idea for a game mode would stop camping.. But no-one ever listened to me.

My suggestion was to have a mode where if you stopped for x seconds, you would start to die and you would be forced to move.

I am not suggesting that this would be in every mode.. Just a special mode to make camping impossible and to make the game flow differently (i.e would encourage run and gunning).

After seeing the level which has 'radiation' (wasteland) I have realised that they could even do this in a believable way.. i.e turn on fall out on the entire map so you get irradiated if you stop for too long.

But is sniping not part of war? Thus is a war game, from a realism background, why on earth should you start to die for sitting still?
If your sick of snipers, start picking them off from different locations, or set claymores in the area where you have just killed one, so if he returns, he dies again!

So the camper could just move an inch and then back to his original position

I love them

It was just an idea.. A concept.... Who says that moving an inch would reset it.. if they developed it right, then you would get injured when you stopped (just like when you are shot) and would have to keep moving to get your health back. So it would have to be tweaked to unsure that it worked as intended and I am convinced that this would make an interesting alternative game mode..

kevin_irl · 14-11-2009, 3:35 PM

Yeah they are really annoying, along with the small teams, usually 4v4,5v5 and the huge maps, this game is getting old fast

rbj · 14-11-2009, 3:42 PM

I don't see the point of snipers in the game, COD is all about running and gunning for me.

Fmrl · 14-11-2009, 3:45 PM

Once we all get to know the maps then camping won't be quite so profitable. There's a few places I've spotted on some maps where people just camp and wait for other players to walk into their gunsights, if you know that they are doing this and you know the map then it's not too hard to either avoid them or outflank them and shoot them in the back.

BTW, I think IW have recognised that a lot of players camp - if you check the end of game stats then there's "awards" for things like most stationary kills, etc. I don't know if this reduces your end of game bonus.

Heroik · 14-11-2009, 3:52 PM

Well i am not a seasoned veteran on MW MP..but it isn't so bad. You can get to see where they are during Killcam and get them back lol.

One thing i have noticed is that..sometimes when i die i respawn very close and sometimes right behind them to i can quickly shoot them from behind or where they aren't expecting.

Only downside is in maps like the map in the woods with the big country house (god knows what its called) its hard to spot player with the camo

The level is Estate.

Personally, after playing the MP for a bit now the campers don't bother me too much. I'm still trying to learn the maps so Kill Cams are helping me out a bit. Spent a lot of time playing COD4 MP and already if I had to choose between the two I'd pick MW2. To me this game just seems better in every way.

illmind · 14-11-2009, 4:34 PM

I have a class set lightweight, Marathon and Scambler, and I sprint around some maps non stop like a headless chicken looking for them with good success at the moment as I am starting to see where they are pitching their tents

At the start it really was getting on my nerves but I think in time when people get more use to the game, your see more run and gunners.

ever considered the game was not made for you?

I for one enjoy the sniping and that in this game it's much harder to run around like a loon firing at anything that moves.

PygoShlee · 14-11-2009, 4:43 PM

Camping whilst sniping is fine, thats fair enough as thats what they do.

But proper campers, who use everything but a sniper rifle, are a pain in the arse.

Best way is using semtex, stick one right on their face. That, or stun and throwing knife

I don't really get the negative atitude towards camping in games. Last time I checked war is all about taking and holding territory, maybe the whiners can say something in deathmatch games but in objective games you can't really complain about it. More fool the campers as well if they stay in place after the killcam has revealed their location.

I agree, IW don't have a system in place to stop 'camping' so it's fair game - adapt. Generally their an easy kill anyway, but if they keep killing you when you know exactly where they are - then theres skill in that. I guess I'm probably in between the two styles - stopping and popping, most COD players are so predictable anyway. All you need to do is stop, kill someone then run and have your sights exactly where you were just sat, wait 10-15 seconds for the lemon to come exact his revenger rinse&repeat as necessary

If we all played the same then it would be

the challenge comes from mixing up how you play and approach situations to get the win

I do the same , you get lots of kills

Yeah tell me about it.

It got so bad that I ended up turning the ps3 off.

I'm hoping to enjoy the game more with lads from these forums.

CFH · 14-11-2009, 6:38 PM

I'm too crap to rank up

Fishgold · 14-11-2009, 6:57 PM

I don't understand how people moan about getting killed by a camper so many times in a row, you know they are there so why keep running into a trap? It's a tactic, which apparently works, so who's the better player if you can't adapt and kill them?

I'm no camper by the way.. but there has been the odd time I've been 'strategically waiting' for a couple of easy kills to get me my choppaaaaaaa!

They should patch in a new game mode:

Camping pro

Then all the campers can sit in the one spot doing f'all all match.

Trust me if there were no run and gunners the game would be absolute gash.

What would all you campers shoot at???

Thank f*** not everyone camps as it would be one boring game.

I know they're the better player.

I'm crap at this game, I just hate myself for being so crap that I keep getting killed by the same effin guy in the same spot.

If it ain't a camper that kills me it's my own grenade or I fall of the side of highrise and die

Jay · 14-11-2009, 7:03 PM

Oh and don't get me wrong, I don't class a camper as someone who finds a nice spot to kill, then moves about.

A camper to me is a c*** that finds the darkest alley, or sits on top of a lorry all match with their gun pointed in the same place, dies then goes back to the same spot.

Ha! Been there, done that. I stalked my prey like a true predator, undetected and hungry for the taste of blood. Waiting for my time to strike... NOW! I ran at him with my planned fancy-jumping-knife kill in mind. Only for him to run away while I was mid jump and watch me sail off the side of the building

Where's your thread?

What's your psn I can add you, a few guys are playing tonight.

it'll be camper free and we're all crap

To be honest the only way to have no campers is play with like minded people.
