Etiquette While Playing COD4: Camping

Ok so here is what happened. I am trying to lvl up the POS G3 for the marksmanship challenge. I was doing this mostly by kinda trying to snipe folks out,

I found myself a nice little spot overlooking a street on the Strike map ( If your team starts up by A it is the house that you reach by going right while going down the hill then go round back the house and climb up the steps, then overlooking C ) and set up my claymores and was having a nice little time. Picking shots carefully trying not to draw too much attention to meh spot and all.

Everything was going just swimmingly... Then here comes lvl 14 homeslice and his pal lvl 12 homeskillet. They come in the room and just start blasting out all the windows with their AK's or wtf ever they were using. Like completely blowing any type of cover I might have had.

Needless to say I was *mad* pissed and I asked them if they could find someplace else to go cause i was trying to camp out there. Well you can guess their responses " F U man we can be here if we want etc etc etc..."

Now I realize they have just as much right to be there as I do. Even if I was there first and had obviously put a little effort into securing the spot. But MAN it pissed me off. Like, I am aiming out a window and the guy stands RIGHT next to me and aims out the same window...

My question is this. When you guys are in situations like this what do you do ? Do you ask them to leave ? Do you curse @ them ? Do you hang there with them ? Do you abandon your little camp and let them have it ? I really don't wanna be rude to other people in the game but it's just so irritating.

So yeah anyway tell me what you think.

STFU, camper. You make the game less enjoyable for everyone else, and get pised someone is ruining your camping time?

Unless the enemy running through them like actually stops, the claymore rarely kills them. It really irks me. One thing I have tried with some success is setting one in a doorway where they can see it but hopefully not shoot it. Then they tend to run through it really fast.

You want to plant your second one a little farther inside and point it towards the door where the guy will be running in. Hopefully the first one will have weakened him enough for the 2nd one to take him out.

Also using them on steps / ladders works quite well

No I meant lol how do I plant claymores. When I press left it's C4 for some reason...

I dont mind campers, they wont win. They may end up with stats like 11 kills and 3 deaths, but I will have 25 and 9, so I win. Everyone has their own idea of fun, mine is running around killing people with head shots, theres is pretending like it is real life and being safe. So be it, play the game how you want to, they paid $400 for the ps3 and $60 for the game, let them play it how they want.

But to answer the TC's question you cant really get mad or do much, you could ask them to leave, and if it was me I would of let you have your spot, but in that case just let the babies cry and complain and leave the lobby next game so you wont have to play with them again.

The G3 ain't no POS, I atually like using it...

Usually if someone takes the same spot as me i'll just leave and find another. I know what you mean about it getting annoying though, i'll be taking up a sneaky hiding place (Along with UAV jammer + silenced G3)under the trucks on the countdown level when someone gets under with me and starts spraying bullets randomlyas if to say 'We're over here! Comekill us!'

As for the question on how to use claymores, you select it by pressing left on the d-pad. Same works for other stuff like RPGs too.

Tlahui...campers don't make the game worse for me. That's like saying that airstrikes and helicopters make the game worse for everybody. It's part of the game!!! Everybody plays games differently. Some people aren't as good at the close and personal action so they choose to hang back and camp and/or snipe. Maybe you just suck and get picked off by campers all the time.

As far as the topic issue goes, you can't be overly pissed at someone for aiming out the same window. It might be annoying but they do have as much right to be there as you. Some people just don't have the common courtesy to go elsewhere when they see that someone is already there.

dont double post...

anyways, him trying to snipe people from a high location does not make him a camper. Being a little noob with an ak in a corner shooting people in the back when they run by, a camper!

@Reis, i usually use the people has a shield and as soon as they die, i move. Learn the map and find 2 or 3 spots which you can snipe from and just move. This way it'll be harder for people to find you.

I suppose it isn't that bad of a gun. Actually it is like heaven comparing to having to lvl the #$*&# M14 omg.

But yeah some time it is fun to stealth around and not just run and gun. Sure you might not get as many kills but it is fun to change it up sometimes. ( I find I usually do it when I am, erm, stoned lol )

Good call mate. I know most of the spots but it just makes me mad that I have to move because some choaders have no respect for other players.

I like changing up play styles too.

50% of the time i'm a run and gunner with an LMG.

30% of the time i'm a stealthy character with silenced G3, UAV jammer and Dead silence perk.

20% of the time i'm a sniper.

I think it's better to mix and match play styles every now and again.

Here's what happened to me:

I was on that same stage, strike I think. I found a nice nice nicceeee spot to snipe from. Had Claymores set up covering my back and my teammates were always between me and the enemy. I got to 25 kills in a row when some sergeant comes in there wanting to get in on the action. Well he's not low key at all. he's trying to snipe with a friggin AK47. No silencer mind you. So 4 grenades later I'm dead and cursing up a storm.

I realize they have the right to be there but I sorta wish guys would respect a player who's sniping. If you want a piece of the action, equip a sniper rifle and come claymores and rack up the kills.

I dont mind campers, they wont win. They may end up with stats like 11 kills and 3 deaths, but I will have 25 and 9, so I win.

Meh, I don't really care. I try to stay as concealed as possible, but I also don't really play with random people anyways. Not team wise anyways. But sometimes we get a few random people, but there was never a problem.

The thing that makes me laugh is how much people whine about campers. They only whine cause they get their arse whooped and they can't figure out anything to do about it. Killing campers aren't hard, and they don't ruin the game at all. Besides, Snipers camp. GET OVER IT.

Though when I do come across a spot with another sniper, I try my best not to paint a neon sign over our location. I'd much rather work with the sniper I happen to be with to hold the area.

i agree for the most part. Usually if i run across one of my teammates that are in a good sniping position i let them camp there and ill either watch their back or take cover somewhere where i know he is watching that way he watches mine....
and when people camp out on the other team, its not that hard to find out where they are after they kill you...watch the KILLCAM! thats why its there! then you can find out where they are and sneak up to them and blow their head off.

That's the joys of a complete stealth cl@ss That's what I do, UAV jammer, Dead silence and a silenced weapon. They never know you're comming.

Nice, though I am a bit confused about UAV jammer, does it prevent UAV from just when the person has a UAV scan ordoes it also cover when you fire your weapon?

Well you're completely hidden from the UAV when they bring it online, but I'm not sure about the weapon part. That's why I pack silencers just incase.

It doesn't matter to me if you are using a usp 45 or a sniper rifle, camping is camping and it is the closest thing to cheating without typing in codes. Imagine being on the other team and being hit by the same guy numerous times because he won't move and hasbarrackedhimself in a cubby hole. I am happy the other people on the team ruined your spot. This isn't directedsolelyat you but I have seen too many games ruined because they just became camping festivals (Half-life, counter strike, halo 1, warhawk is on its way to being that, and GRAW 2) where anyone not camping is instantly dead. Being a sniper is a complete different story, they stay hidden just long enough to get 2 or so shot then move on to a different place; if your gun sucks that much try doing that. If youtrulymust camp, do it in anaccessibleplace such as the middle of an open field.

Please continue to play but don't camp.

Your problem is that you're roastin ****** marshmellows and tellin stories.

Don't blame someone else because you're a shameless camper.

Are you kidding me? Where's the tissue cause I think someone needs to wipe your tears away. It sounds to me that you just suck at games and you want someone to give you a handicap and hold your hand just so you can feel better. If you can't figure out a way around it, then stop crying and don't play. Problem solved.

I'll ask if they can move...Most of the time I don't really care if someone camps out with me it adds some protection or an 50-50 chance of survival if someone sneaks up behind me. G-Legend

There is a quote i like in COD4 kinda the same as this "teamwork is important, it gives them someone else to shoot at" but mostly use these guys like a lure I guess and on the topic of camping i don't like shotgun in the corner campers but ur gonna have them so learn to out play them

i play with 5 of my clan mates at all times to avoide this crap

or if nobodys on i rape in free for all and cage matches

When will people understand that camping is just another strategy? My guess is that you guys (like myself) get angry because campers kill you from behind. Yes camping is lame but is a way of playing.

To TC, if you can Team kill,kill them for being such Aholes. That or stick around, that way you have more chances to survive.

every1 has the right to play as they like... if they like camping fine.... campers dont make the game less enjoyable... just kill them, i personally dont like camping... because i wont get too many kills...without camping I get alot more kills.. and few more deaths.....anyway... just see were the camper is hiding.. and sneak up behind him and knife him, thats what i do

how is a sniper meant to do well if it does not camp? I doubt a sniper will slast long running around. Even so |I move a bit when sniping, shoot then move, otherwise you get spotted.

Finally someone who understands that camping is a strategy.

But you should have said it is lame only because you got killed by the camper. The camper wont think it's lame nor will his team mates.
