I mean it's just another part of tactics and stagtigies and it's a good idea if you wanna get some quick kills in a slayer match. Basically camping is sniping only you shoot in one place. It's nice to do it and the only bad part is when there's tanks that will easily spot you but other than that it's okay to do it.

Yeah, I don't get it. If you're a sniper you should camp. In real life warfare people are going to camp and it's not like in some rules for war not to stand still. It's a tactic anyone can use and use it effictively.

My only problem is when they ONLY go for the Sniper Rifle or the OverShield or the one spawn points. Otherwise that just makes them easier to kill.

Yeah, spawn killing and power-up camping is just evil I think. I talk about like staying in the base and defending or sniping. That's all I aproove of.

Camping is for people who don't know how to truly snipe. If you want to snipe well, then follow the Guide.

um i hate it when people camp and just wait for you to respawn...i like to kill them...i can understand if you are standing somewhere and you kill someone, then someone else walks into your view and you shoot them, then another walks into view at about the same time...but if you are sitting in one area for like five minutes...thats when you die!!!

if you kill a couple people then move to a new spot, then thats fine...but personally, i prefer to keep moving and sniping at the same time if possible...

You can be a very effective sniper without having to camp...I snipe all the time and I move constantly..it's funner...and it escalates the action ! In ur face battles..it's always fun !

i have no problem with ppl camping to an extent if ppl stay still to long hidden in a 1-1 match
then it just gets annoying and its easy to get rid of campers (frag grenades) so its pointless

I dont mind when i use it but when someone kills u every time u respawn then it gets boring. Espilly in longest u can just hide behind a wall orrespawn point and smack them.

I don't mind campers, as in snipers - I hate the guys that watch the only way into a room with a shotgun or something along those lines and they never leave

Yeah, this guy has pretty much got my view in a nutshell.

I don't mind sniper camping but some of my friends take it to far. They will grab the rocket,oversheild camp until someone kills them. They always camp in chiron (worst muliplayer level).

Why? Because they sit around wait for you to re-spawn, then kill you without a chance. It's just not an honorable kill. At. All. Period.

'Course, there is a certain satisfaction to kill a camper.

It goes something like...

"Stay down, bihatch!"

There nothing wrong with it in reality, because they don't come back to life. In games like Halo, all it does is give you easy points and pisses people off.

most of the time they dont notice the first shot. and what i hate worst is people camping with the tank. yes i have done it to make a point to my brother, but that is something you dont do. but i do like sniping with the tank. nothing like a shell to the head. that is how good i was a month ago when i was playing halo alot. in sidewinder i could hit a guy in the head sitting at the top of the base you know sniping someone. it really made my friend mad. though most of the time it is shot him in the head as he shot you in the head. my friends hate me in the tank. i say it makes a good long range weapon. the only time i let someone camp is in a big cap flag game with the person using the sniper rifle to either keep the enemies heads down or to do a short time camping to cover you base you know to takeout a driver of a worthog. does anyone say that isnt fair.
