Stop Camping.....arghhh!

[BadBone]

Im hearing this a lot lately, mainly on HOLD ( Be[z]erk ) servers. Actually i hear it everytime i play a Hold server now, whats happened? The imature population of other FPS games have now disscovered ArmA?
Whatever, its very annoying to hear you crying that someone is camping, get over it.
"Camping" is part of ArmA, A BIG part of real war, and the more you spam chat that someone is camping, the more you will be camped and targeted, by me anyhow, at least.

Yep Its the patch thing allover again (have we covered all the corners of earth )

don't worry in a couple of weeks US newbies leaves, and things return to (somewhat) normal (hopefully)

You would have thought this obvious if you've ever tried to fire a weapon in ArmA when running ...

Coming from a Battlefield and FEAR background myself, I probably would have been one of those guys, if I hadn't been playing OFP long before that...

Its the map makers fault *** ***All my maps I made for ofp had what I called (ABR's) Anti Base Rape zones. You walk near another teams ***spawn and you would die.

Just pick a good spot on the map so the other team cant fire long range into the spawn. Or if you really must have that open spot on a map then place building down so they can spawn in safty.

not on my maps

I'm not camping... I'm dug in!

I'm not camping... I'm laying in ambush to interdict!

Sheesh, some people and their arcade views of warfare.


R71: I believe they are talking about on avenues of approach and the 'held' areas (that was happening last night in BERZERK)

'Long live the campers!'

I would say just get really comfortable camping... sit low in your chair... crack a beverage of your choosing... pick your targets as they come around... and answer their 'stop camping' nonsense with the odd, 'yep' as you sit, sipping your beverage and blasting them dead out of their lame enfilade, balls-in-the-wind charges.

If someone finds a good position without getting spotted - all the power to them. Frankly I suck at camping as i always get routed out. I'm better at the 'move and shoot'.

I used to get pissed at the guy who finds the soft spot angle into the spawning zones in CTF. But it was kinda funny to frantically huddle together with your squaddies and find a way to beat him.

The thing that annoys me the most is when, for example, on Bezerk Airfield, people get tanks and put them in the hills west of the airfield and then do nothing but strafe the airfield, meaning anyone trying to spawn there or get near there is pretty much screwed.

Theres a difference between holding your position to deny it to the enemy and camping.

LOL nope, that sounds like an excellent tactic. Kudos to those guys, especially since anyone can spawn with a javelin in that crazy map.
