Especially if you can hit them with that Accelerator. If you let yourself get ripped by that bad boy at its fastest speed, you're gonna have a bad time.

I've been called a camper for perpetually circling the area near where the flag is in CTF. So I guess it depends on your definition.
No not that. The people that just stand in view of the flag and have it rigged with explosives. If you don't die from those they kill you instantly with a shotgun or something.

Pssh, this guy with his running on the ground talk. I fuckin run on walls and roof tops mother fucker and dispense destruction from above!

That makes sense. I've been trying to use the chaingun but can't seem to doom a Titan with it no matter how low their health gets. Guess I just have to keep trying to figure this all out. Can't seem to stop playing even with how terrible I play at times.
I mean yeah, that's camping and it's mostly frowned upon, but I don't think that's a horrible way to play. Defense is defense when it comes to CTF.
The game also gives you a lot of ways to get around campers as well.

I've seen several kill cams where a guy just has ADS towards a corner and shoots whoever comes around, never moving themselves.

Man, you don't even need to be near the flag to have it rigged with explosives; Set 'em and then patrol or something. Just don't set them right on the floor and no one notices until they're already dead. Both times I tried camping in the same room as the flag (and explosives) I managed to get killed and lose the flag.

The shotgun isn't overpowered at all. It is hilariously outgunned at medium range. If you go indoors and get 1 shot by it, that is what it supposed to do. If you are outdoors and you get outgunned at medium range, you have to aim better. The CAR blows that thing away.
And cloak isn't supposed to hide you from pilots. It is to get away from Titans.

You are avoiding the actual problem. I'm fine with you rigging the damn thing, but also standing in the corner watching every entrance? That is camping.
You may have trouble staying in the same room as the flag, but some people are doing it extremely well.
I've been doing this from day one. It's a habit from Halo. If momentum is high, jump to maintain.

I guess I can see it happening on a couple maps, but it seems like for the most part there are too many entrances for camping to work for more than a couple of deaths. People always find ways to make it work though. I just hope I continue to not have issues with it for the most part.
I agree with the shotgun stuff and I don't use it but as a person going toe to toe with a shotgunner, if I die its because they got too close.
Cloak helps to confuse pilots.

I love those guys. Active Radar Pulse them straight to hell lol
Between satchels and wall hanging, most flags/hardpoints are easily camped from my experience. If I'm defending for the team I sit in a corner on the wall, kill someone, move away so they can't come back for revenge and repeat. With satchels, I cover a room with 3 and then leave on hardpoint. As soon as the marker on the bottom right starts blinking because it's being taken I detonate and head back over there.
Hardpoint, Capture the Flag...
this is camping, i have over 200 recorded videos of me dying to a dude sitting in a random corner, whether it be on the objective, or not.
i have been killed by people not in the objective area, sitting in a corner, or staring down the hallways of a bridge, or even wallhanging with a smart pistol (i usually get these guys before they can kill).
people cloaked ontop of our own flag, not even picking it up, just so they can rack up a kill count.
people who play objective based modes and don't PTFO are abundant.
flat out defending a perimeter whilst moving isn't camping, nor is controlling high ground/ base area.
sitting in a corner is something else.
I agree. Or at least I wouldn't use the word in a derogatory sense.
And if you're camping in other modes you probably aren't contributing to your team much.
Active radar.
There's a difference between defending a point and sitting in the same corner on a hardpoint all game when their team is losing and they're clearly playing for K/D. It's pretty pathetic but they never care.
it gives me a headache and i prefer to PTFO with cloak to avoid titans.
I'm doing just fine.
C4 helps a ton, but i will gladly respond to anyone saying there isn't camping in this game.
i have played with too many people who sit in random corners, even on non objective based modes.
my friend who plays halo professionally keeps telling me, welcome to call of duty every time we see one.

If I worried about my K/D I would have quit the game after about 5 minutes. I play for fun...screaming at the TV at times fun...lol

Added my GT: VendibleHippo to the google doc.
It is a new GT so I currently have no friends, add me.

Alright, well enjoy your 200 more deaths. I don't know what to tell you besides active radar and toss more grenades into hard points and work your mech better. The only reason why people are camping is because no one is using active radar.
Seriously. This game makes me tell at the tv more than anything.
Usually really passive aggressively.
"Oh yeah I'm sure you grabbed me before I ejected. For sure. You're sooo good."

I will happily "camp" a single hardpoint or our flag if we have the lead and we're set to continue having the lead. If my team is behind or set to lose the lead, I will move.
Depends on how it's done, in which a lot of people do camp in those modes placing Satchel Charges and Arc Mines everywhere while wall hanging as well.

I do that all the time.
That's playing the objective. Camping, as I've come to understand it, is a place you stay in to rack up kills.
if you call a 5.3 k/d only playing domination and not camping bad, sure... ill gladly welcome my 200 more deaths.
i don't die to the same sad human being sitting in the corner all game. ill die once, and deal with the issue with 1 c4 because he's sitting in the same corner.
they always go back, and i will kill them again before i head into the objective area, with the same C4 int he same corner.
i come from battlefield where active radar doesn't exist.
shit is normal and i got used to it.
i don't need the crutch.
i also don't see them every game.
if you read my original post, it was responding to someone saying there is no camping in this game.
that doesn't mean i come in contact with them every game.
i have died 200 times in near total after my ridiculous amount of time played so far, which is over 50 hours since midnight tuesday.
im not going to use active radar over another option just for campers that i don't see every game.

No argument there. Last night was fun to just mess with a few people.
Windows Movie Maker.
Yeah, jump skipping is SUPER useful. I have a 1.5gb card and saw some frame drops from running Shadowplay with medium quality, but nothing unplayable.
They way you make it sound is that camping is just as big of a problem in TF as it is in any multiplayer FPS and now you are saying it's like one person occasionally. Which one is it?

If it is around the flag, then he is defending it. I have a CTF kit now since it is becoming popular. Smart pistol picks up explosives, radar pulse points them out to me. You have to adapt to survive against that kind of stuff.
since when are they different?
i don't get camped in battlefield every game either.
over 1500 conquest games so far.
even when i play my ESL dom games i don't get camped every game.
there also isn't a legitimate c4 option that game, it barely flies in front of you let alone across the room.
as i have just said, i was responding to someone saying there is no camping in this game, and all of my responses hold true to my original statement.
and no, i did not specifically say it was one person at all occasionally?
i said its not every single game, and i play a lot of games.

Yep. Though I still dislike wallhacks. It should only detect wallhangers

No it's more like talking about the game in the OT. No one is saying that camping isn't allowed, I'm definitely not, as the campers usually never win the game. Doesn't mean we can't have a good bitch about things that annoy us though.

It's Spring Break so I'll be a streaming a fair bit this week if anyone is interested. Mostly Attrition and Hardpoint.

There was a guy who mainly goes around trying to jump kick people and not even defend his flag, heck he was called out by someone on my team, lol.
I didn't say you can't. It's similar to the "no throws allowed" sentiment because it's an arbitrary rule over a perceived "bullshit" tactic. I define camping as something closer to this:
It sucks when people play solely for their k/d ratio in a team objective game, sure. Standing still in a corner or hanging on an adjacent wall to watch the entrances to a hardpoint wouldn't be camping to me.
this is what consider it to be as well yes.
blatantly there for kills and not to PTFO, looking for kills on those who are trying to play the mode.
in a game where others can't see your k/d unless you tell them exactly what it is yourself, it confuses me that this exists in this game to an extent.
realistically thinking however, they are coming form other games where they do the same thing i would imagine, so its a routine.
edit: oh, you said WOULDNT be camping, skimmed right over that.. never mind.
Power to you then, I'm not going to debate what is classified as camping with campers in denial.
nobody is complaining.
we were responding to someone saying there weren't any campers in the game with examples.
I see. Understood. I thought I had to defend my camping ways. Lol
