Subject: What's the deal with people hating campers?

Okay, players with CQC weapons in confined spaces I can understand but what I have never truely understood is the people's hate for players that camp in open maps with the sniper rifle.


I'm asking this because the other day I was sent a message saying that I'm a noob for camping in a Team Snipers game. When a person is camping with a sniper rifle in a game that has no other weapons save for the pistol it should be extremely easy for the opposing players to kill him/her, right?

So, why all the hate?

Read the title of the thread, then read what you quoted.

Actually, I believe he is saying he understands why people would hate sword/shotgun camping.

I'm not speshul. I'm just your average gamer.

Yes, I have noticed that, lol.

Not really your fault. Hemorrhage is way too big. But that guy has a right to be angry, camping in the back of your base for the whole game is not fun for the other team.

I win, you lose, get over it!

If they make s'mores and sing songs they're okay in my book

I wasn't even at the back of the base. My 2 spots (I have a spot for red team and blue team) are in the middle. Not directly in the middle, but on the outskirts if that makes sense.

It's simple mathematics really.

Their is hate because you obviously made someone mad. Not your fault for being better than they are. I hate campers in CoD but in Halo it's perfectly acceptable. Campers rarely accel in Halo, though a handful may. You must be good at what you do.

Hemmorage is the only map to have the good campers(snipers) while the others camp with shotguns and swords on all the others.

They say stuff like that because they either....
-Lost badly
-Had a horrible K/D
-Had any of thosetwo above and you got -blam!- loads of kills

I remember when I got my first perf, be the bullet, untouchable. This guy who had the sniper and was camping on a mountain top called me a no life because I ruined his perfection. Funny thing is he already had 15 kills and was running to hide in his base when I sniped him.

Hail to the King, Baby!

He sent you a message to get you to stop camping and come out so he can shoot you, don't fall for it. Camping is a legit tactic in any deathmatch game.

  • 06.09.2012 10:55 PM PDT

Hemorrhage shouldn't be a sniper map in the first place. Too one-sided and really just too open in general.

Ohai, I'm Loscocco (pronounced Loss-cocoa). I'm a college student (computer science major), 3D animator, and long-time Halo player.

People need to fall back on an excuse for when they do terribly and criminalize any tactic that makes them look like idiots.

I'm the guy who just assassinated you/sniped you

Play for fun.

What I find stupid is that people message me for camping in Infection. I mean it's the Zombies infecting humanity and the survivors are the last hope. You expect us to run out in circles and 360 like little 2 years on CoD? No. I'm very saddened at the Halo community. We used to be tactical and have extreme fun with Halo. Now the only tactic is grenade spam and Armor Lock.

Legitimate strategy.

I'm not racist, I own a colored TV

If my team camps with the sniper on hemmorage, I betray them. Easy as that.

I hate those jet packs guys that fire 10 shots to get half of a kill. Not to mention camping in no way covers your team to push the enemies spawns.

So you're saying...you betray snipers on a sniper map? You sir are the biggest idiot ever. Go join the CoD community.

I don't mind, but people tend to hate something that takes the least skill to do/use.

Snipe camping specifically is frowned up specifically because its the easiest way to get kills, and that you could be doing more to help your team.

If the enemy team is mad at you for doing it though, its probably because they weren't smart enough to take you out, and died repeatedly.

And I'll just laugh when you get sniped by the enemy for betraying me, the guy who was watching your back.

It honestly doesn't matter what you do, people will always get mad/annoyed if they can't kill you. If your whole team just charged in their base and slaughtered them, then proceeded to steamroll them for the rest of the game as soon as they respawn, they'll be just as mad as if you were sprinting around a corner while they're shooting you in the back.

Campers have always been hated by some players, who knows why ?
