Re: Is camping gone

The Tankist thing you talked about is acceptable as long as it isn't the last flag, with no other surviving members elsewhere. Then it becomes stat padding.

Re: Is camping gone

'camping' is a legit tactic.

the only time it's unnacpetable is when it's blatent spawn camping, where you have a straight, easy, constant shot of the exact area a player spawns in.

Re: Is camping gone

well i see how "camping" can be used as a real world tactic, and thus i feel its fine when used in BF2.

Iv been waiting for this thread to pop up and id like to thank the person who did it :).

Well Snipers yes 100% like to camp.Thats what they have to do, and to observe the enemys movments etc . In real life * which is what this game is heavly based on* Snipers usualy keep there distance from the enemy and OBSERVE or have to take out a certian target such as a high ranking officer.

It affends and ****s me right off how servers have a rule saying NO CAMPING UNCAPABLE SPAWN POINTS. Bull ****ing **** what if you where in a real sitiuation and your MAIN base was coming under fire by enemy troops that where over running your base? Your not going to go and say right YOU CARNT DO THAT bla bla bla bla THERE GONNA ****ING SHOOT YOU!


So sut the **** up and stop your whining and play it like a REAL SITUATION.

Re: Is camping gone

People who bitch about someone "camping" in bf2 need to be shot. Preferrably by a camper.
"Camping" a narrow alley is what the support guy is best at.
"Camping" in a hidden spot without moving until you're seen is how AA vehicles are used most effectively.
"Camping" is what a sniper will often do.
"Camping" can be a very efficient way of defending a flag.
I give "camping" a thumbs-up.

You left out "camping is fun".

Re: Is camping gone

I was standing just outside of cap area today waiting for my team to secure it.Took awhile to do because people kept spawning every 2 secs....well everytime they did it was right next to me

So i unloaded with the noob tube took out 3-4 guys each time, then switched to bullets...then pistol i was almost out of ammo when the flag was ours.Got my veteran assault badge too :laugh:

Re: Is camping gone

GOd when i was play rainbow six raven shield a while back, i would run up to a box for cover, ifi stayed there for like 10 seconds i was yelled at for camping.

I think camping is Ok, but i dont do it much or longer then 30 secodns, because the guy you just killed WILL and i mean WILL be commingback with a frag or what not. Best to relocate often.

Re: Is camping gone

I couldn't disagree more. Armor/apc strolling into the cap zone with guns blazing is a recipe for certain death. I see it happen all the time, and love it when I'm defending a flag and see a tank/apc roll into my "kill zone" ( I play spec ops and c4 is my weapon of choice) Ideally a tank should provide suppression fire while infantry assaults the flag. It's the combined arms method of effective combat. If you don't like it, then maybe you should spawn at another flag.

in my opinion that's exactly the role the tank should be playing, I pretty much always do that whenever I actually get in a tank...stay close to infantry but hang back at the flags and kill enemies while the troops take the CP and that guy is complaining that tanks should be taking flags lol

Re: Is camping gone

I'll get randomly called a n00b for camping with a gun, so if I'm a n00b how come I keep killing your whole team as an infantry man and not using a n00b
t00b?

Re: Is camping gone

...because there is no reason to do it other than to rack up the kills.

[Thereby draining tickets and helping to win the game, which is what separates it from true stat padding..

They are draining tickets, but if all they di was get points for capping flags they would do it and find another flag. I guess what im trying to say is what kind of idiot would "camp" a flag to kill people and drain their tickets? ROFL HAHAHAHAH you must be SERIOUSLY jokeing here right? They do it for the POINTS yes here if you couldnt read that ill make it easier... for the POINTS POINTS POINTS!!

Re: Is camping gone

What ****es me the FUKC off is when tanks/apcs/attack choppers sit 5 feet from the "capture zone" and purposely blow the heads off of everyone there without even TRYING to neutralize the flag. Exception given to the chopper because thats flat out suicide. But the tank/apc should get off their point whoring ass and get in there and take the flag and stop STAT PADDING. Yes, i consider camping 5 feet from the cap zone to be stat padding, because there is no reason to do it other than to rack up the kills.

Actually that is the perferred tactic for tankers, etc. As others have said, you are there for support fire and suppression. If you get yourself in the middle of the flag, you have obstructions all around you, limiting movement, and with a limited field of view and enemies spawning all around you, its a death trap. Then there are the flags that you can get to with armor. You expect them to get out to cap the flag, or suppress untill some infantry comes to help them? Its not about whoring, its about not getting killed.
