I was playing halo the other day and we turned off shields and lowered health all the way. And gave shotguns only. This was in TL34. It sounds cheap but it worked quite nicely actually. I came up with a tactic. I would hide in a corner (not on health or ammo and or any powerups) to hide from the motion detector. I would kill the next thing that crossed my path. I would shot or hit him in the back. He yelled at me and called me a camper, first i thought campin was when you did what i did but did it on powerups or ammo or something that would give you the advantage. Secondly he killed from the same spot in hang 'em high all five times in a row with a sniper rifle and said it was him using tactics. Is that what i did used tactics or camped? Thoughts?

I'd kill, i'd move spots. There was four other people playing over our system link. They forgot about me. And when I say five in a row i mean five from same spot over course of match. It wasn't like kill respawn kill. It was kill spawn me kill the other people kill respawn, he never moved.

I usually define camping as setting up a point to kill people as they respawn. It's incredibly cheap. Camping quite literally in the game sense is more akin to hiding in a spot waiting for someone to pass, even through 4 or more kills. Sniping is generally Fire and move. Although you can camp to a snipe. I'll camp a spot I think is likely for someone to pass by, then 'neutralize' my target, then move on to my next camp, so they don't know where I am.

My definition of camping is sitting in one spot that people pretty much have to pass at some point with a weapon that would kill the person in one shot, or sitting in one spot with a sniper rifle. If you moved around then that's not really camping, but it's aggravating nonetheless. What he did sounds like what I like to call "Quick-camping," which is camping for a very short perion of time and then running for dear life.
