Often recognized by their tent, fire, and permanently stationary status, campers are one of the most detested groups known to exist on the virtual battlefield. Frustrating because of both their infuriating tactics and your inability to stop running directly into their tried and true traps, some of us are a little more guilty of this particular scheme than others. Could you perhaps belong to this most loathsome accumulation of gamers? There’s only one way to find out! Here are the top ten signs that you may, in fact, be a camper.
- After getting a kill, you run around for exactly ten seconds (in case your victim is watching you on their death cam) before resuming your position.
- The only things you ever hear on proximity voice are, “That -blam- is still there!” and/or startled yelps of surprise.
- You have more flag stops and shotgun sprees than all your friends. Combined.
- Your Xbox Live bio reads, “It’s a legitimate strategy!” And you truly believe it is.
- You have callouts for every last corner of the base but have no clue where Pelican and horseshoe are.
- Your left thumbstick is always the first button to get worn out on your controller.
- You veto all single-objective games because leaving the base is out of your comfort zone.
- When you pick up the flame thrower, your friends ask if you’d like a bag of marshmallows to go with it.
- You miss both the excessive amount of maulers on Narrows and the shotgun-friendly shield doors on Snowbound. The radar jammer however can go fuck itself.
- After reading this list, you are 100% confident you are not a camper; you just purposely put yourself in advantageous positions that play to your strengths. Again. And again. And again. And again.

What about camping in the high room on guardian with unlimited rockets on fiesta? The score was 25 to 7 to 7 to 6 to 5 to 5 to 4.
Posted by lnfynity on October 21, 2009 at 4:49 pm
What is the “high room”
There is snipe tower also known as s1,s2 and s3
There is top gold and bottom gold, or lift
There is top blue and bottom blue/ blue room
There is top green/ bottom green
There is elbow, camo, top mid and bottom mid but there is no “high room”.

Grenades. Use them.
Posted by Shilalydawg on October 22, 2009 at 6:25 am
@Infynity
You can grenade jump and/or rocket jump onto Gold’s ceiling. If you’re going up lift looking at Snipe Tower, it’s in the middle of the left wall. You get up there and have a vantage point on anybody at or entering Gold.
I believe that’s his “high room”

It is a legitimate strategy when opponents keep knowingly returning to the “camping” spot and receive the same fate every time.
Then the jokes on them for just being idiotic and not having the skill to properly flush out a “camper.”

It’s true! People just run in a staright line to the spot where they last died again and again, and then complain when they get cut down like the fools that they are!
Posted by MRDNRA on October 22, 2009 at 5:24 pm
I remember a game on The Pit once, we were getting badly outplayed in the open, so we all went to the sword room….I think they only flushed us out once, we retook it, and they kept on coming back again and again and again and again….we still lost, but we made a fight of it, which we wouldn’t have been able to do if we hadn’t gone to the sword room.

Posted by Dude McManface on October 21, 2009 at 2:08 pm
I think you mean Boundless, which IS Snowbound, edited to not have shield doors in order to stop camping and to let a nice cool breeze enter the bases. Really, those things can get pretty rank with all the dead bodies in ‘em and whatnot.
To be honest, I think camping IS a legit strategy.
Firstly, if they’re camping, you KNOW where they are all the time. So either charge in (And possibly die again and again), or ignore the area, then they’ve got no one to kill, and they’ve gotta move.
Secondly, would you run out into the open and get shot in a real battle (or even in airsoft/paintball) No, I should hope not. You’d find a nice spot that DOES play to your strengths and go to work. We have a phrase for placing yourself in a disadvantageous situation: Walking into an ambush. Synonymous with suicide and/or negative K/D ratio.
Thirdly, frog blast the vent core. So there.
SO long as it isn’t using cheats or glitches, it’s legitimate. Doesn’t mean it’s nice to be on the receiving end, but, hey, getting shot never is.
And, yes, the Radar jammer CAN go fuck itself.

Posted by blackwind952 on October 23, 2009 at 6:16 am
Camping can only be considered to be a strategy if you use it while sniping, because that’s how sniping is supposed to be played…shooting from a safe distance. Camping in any other game type just ruins the fun for both teams because all it does is make the game last much longer than it should.

Yep, the little birdy on Halo 2’s Midship and I have met, from camping at the top so much. I started my preference to camp back during Quake 1 multiplayer matches for the MS-DOS era, back before they started modding servers to auto-suicide anyone who held the same coordinates for more than a set amount of time. Lordy, I miss that grapple.

Well, according to these I don’t camp. I also only play Cod4. And I don’t camp in that either.
I don’t even see how camping makes the game fun.
Posted by Marksman on October 24, 2009 at 3:03 pm
I dosen’t make it more fun. That’s why campers are weirdos. They only care about K/D, not having fun and enjoying the game. Also, I have no idea why this list even mentions friends. I play Halo with friends to have fun. Campers don’t have friends to start with.
This is why I hate MLG. Camping seems to be a major part of it, as is “controlling” power weapons. The only power-weapon I want is the sniper. They want them all, then camp one part of the map, in an effective “strategy” that I call “time-to-get-some-outside-time”.
That’s all o_O

Posted by mlpiette on October 21, 2009 at 9:39 am
It actually is a legitimate strategy, wanna know why? Because of dumbass people who keep coming back for more instead of moving on. The only reason other people get pissed is because of their inability to kill them, the ‘campers.’
Posted by ROFL on October 21, 2009 at 9:52 am
That’s true for slayer games. When loser camp in objective games, it’s normally around the flag, which means that you HAVE to keep coming back for more. It’s a loser “strategy” for kids with no skill.
Posted by Fro on October 21, 2009 at 1:22 pm
I believe that’s called defense
Posted by Fro on October 21, 2009 at 1:40 pm
In CTF games, kills don’t count for the win, flag caps do. Are you supposed to leave your flag unattended?Ask yourself this, does an engine work without a camshaft? Successful teams are successful because the team’s players fufill their roles.
Posted by Gunlat3M on October 24, 2009 at 7:16 pm
@ Fro
I’d just like to point out this one problem: CTF + Bubble shield + Shotgun/Mauler = Lose
All people have to do is grab one flag cap and then camp with the aforementioned weapons and equipment around the flag. There’s a very slim chance that you will win should your opponents choose to do this. It’s even more annoying on 1 Flag CTF… especially on High Ground. That stuff just gets so annoying.
Now, if everyone played the game out like common MLG style players, it would be fine. Otherwise… you’re better off screaming at your TV at these true campers.

Ooooooo… you wouldn’t like Team Fortress 2! :P
Posted by lnfynity on October 21, 2009 at 4:59 pm
Ok lets say ur on the pit, one flag. 4v4. You do not put all people in the flag room w/ maulers and shotguns, maybe some ars. You fight for the power weapons (ie: rockets, camo, os, enemy sniper) and if you win you have two people on the enemy side, on at needler/platform and the other at snipe tower. The other two should be on your sniper tower and walking around above your base. That way some people can keep them on their own side, and if they die the others can keep them at bay until everyone has spawned. If you have everyone sitting in the base you give them all the weapons and it would be a simple job of firing a couple rockets into the base and getting an overkill/exterm and be on their way with the flag

What constitutes “camping”? It’s subjective and open to interpretation.

or

If your heatmap looks like the level with a large red spot on it, you might be a camper.
If you play Halo 3 and do your homework to pass the time, you might be a camper.
If shotty snipers is your favorite gametype, you might be a camper.
If you can recall all your splatter kills, you might be a camper.

I am an atypical camper: BR and RV as opposed to shotgun and tent. xD
No, really…my favorite style of play is just to get into a good map-control position (preferably one with a power weapon spawn nearby) and just rain BR bullets down on the enemy team while controlling said power weapon (if I can time it, all the better). Got a perfection in Social Slayer (Valhalla Team BRs while I was a guest on my roomie’s Xbox) doing that from top mid. :)
Sometimes I’ll pack up and shift spots, but yes…I am a camper. However, by this definition, I think I’ve seen some pretty nasty camping out of some of the pros I’ve watched, too.

It becomes hunting only when that one’s dead and you pick a new target…
Then rinse and repeat….

haha. That was awesome xD
I loved “You miss both the excessive amount of maulers on Narrows and the shotgun-friendly shield doors on Snowbound. The radar jammer however can go fuck itself.”

I’m no camper… I’m just a happy-go-lucky sniper =)

The radar jammer however can go fuck itself “good i loved this one”

It’s a legitimate strategy! Really! It is!
until of course everyone gangs up on you and sets you on fire…

LOL I love that list, however, I can see how the poster of my LEAST favourite one is an “ex-Spartan” (lol)
Shotty Snipers is MY fav gametype, but I’m not a camper.
I actually consider myself pretty good, even in MLG (amazingly, some Social Playlists are harder than ranked).
It’s also my friend’s favourite, and there are two things you should know about him:
1.He’s practically pro; and
2.He never plays Halo anymore, but that’s ‘cuz he built his own gaming PC (yep, you heard me, from scratch ;P)

Actually I enjoy shotty snipers as well and usually hope for it. It is one of the reasons I play snipers. I just put it on the list for laughs.

It’s not my job to leave an objective unguarded so you suck less.

Does sniping in one spot count as camping… i have always wondered
Posted by Brent M on October 23, 2009 at 7:06 am
So 1 question, 1 statement.
Where the fuck is the horseshoe?
And
You should totally make a vid for this of campers and check off ur list as u go.

Not camping is also a legitimate strategy we just put ourselves in disadvantaged positions to see how “pro” we are; or to die either way :D

While I agree that camping is legitimate, I also agree that it is the most loathed strategy. I sometimes camp, few times, just few.

If you nade spam the entrance(s) of your favorite corner of the map frantically, especially when you have no radar, then you may just be a camper.
If you hate it when the ground/floor is flat and completely visible 360 degrees around, you may be a camper.
If you have your weapons of destruction on B.net as Shotgun, Melee, Mauler, Assault Rifle, BR, and Sniper IN THAT ORDER, you may be a camper.
If you get into a passenger seat of an unmoving Warthog with Active Camo, and no one drives the Warthog for the majority of your invisibility, you may be a camper.
If you spy someone getting a Killjoy medal in the Post Game Carnage Report, and he/she killed you the most, you may be a camper.
If you love to Shotgun around corners and then yell at someone for camping with the Shotgun around a corner, you may be a hypocrite… – oh wait, that came out wrong.
If you have played Campaign with (an)other player(s) and have actually seen Covenant spawn in front of you while your teammates are fighting and dying somewhere else, you are definitely a camper. No ifs, ands, or buts…
If you are a citizen of Camp City, Rats Nest, then you may be a camper.
If you have played an entire game the same way Marty O’Donnell would, you may be a camper.
If you blare music on your 360 to drown out people’s angry screams directed towards you, you may be a camper.

It would be funny to see two campers going on 1v1! the kills will be…. well not plenty..

Exspartan 138 said…
“If you can recall all your splatter kills, you might be a camper.”
Hopping into the party the other night angel was ecstatic about the Splatter she had just gotten…her 14th splatter in 4000 games.
I agree with Exspartan as long as the wording is changed from “might be a camper” to “is most definitely a camper”
=P

Too bad I don’t know Angel…
she’d be my nemesis.
I always aim to get a splatter, but just when I’m about to, some random person comes and splatters ME – and I’m in my vehicle!
I’m guessing that I was one of those 14 splatters. Because strangely enough, every time that happens, the player who did so either yells at me for getting in his way, or screams with delight that she “actually got a kill.”
Posted by bs angel on October 26, 2009 at 4:59 pm
I was definitely screaming in delight! As someone that evening said, my voice went up about 20 octaves and punctuation was suddenly nonexistent. I was so excited that people were confused about my high level of joy so that’s when we checked my splatter stats. Then it all made sense. :)
