Camping

[Marxist]

What are your opinions on it for AoS? Mine personally are good, since last game, I mostly just crept along the edge of where the water meets the land (on that one map, where it's like an hour glass), when I got to the blue posistions I was able to rack up 23 kill streak, 6.17 ratio, so in my mind, it's good. You guys?

My opinion on camping is that camping is legit, because AoS is usually attack and defend and such. There is also bases and outposts.

I don't camp, I mostly play on Minit Us - Assault now, build a two block high wall, kill the people running towards me, move up and kill the "campers" and leave with ratios of typically 12+ and accuracy of 30-60%.

Camping is sort of on the fence with me because, yeah people do it in real life, but you dont respawn in 10 seconds in real life. So its kinda, "ehhhh". I do it sometimes I suppose.

Yeah, though if a whole Army's in one place, or charging one place, hiding in some little wall until they go past, and then popping out to slaughter them all is hilarious.

I say this a lot^

I'm fine with camping, spawncamping I am not to happy with however.

Related to camping :3, pro camping.

I camp all the time, I still don't get why people are mad about it, if you don't want me to camp, then kill me before I kill you.

I set up camp when I feel like defending.
It's a legitimate strategy.

Most times I try to find as much cover as possible (or make my own) and advance till I run out of ammo.
Or get incapacitated by an enemy.

Camping is a great strategy, especially when you consider AoS' attack/defend style of gameplay, coupled with the game's building aspect.

Depends on map really. If wide open and targets are plentiful. I will camp. If map is closed and more prone to run and gun I won't.

What the Op described is not camping so much as it is spawn killing. Also fun, but should be addressed by the developers. A simple 3 second no damage mode for new spawns would do wonders.

I was there in the early Quake days when camper became a bad word. I laughed at the fools running at me then. And almost 15 years later still laughing at the babies crying camper today.

Ya I am cool with legit campers.

You know what is the sign where people see that you are a good camper.

It's when the opposite team sends an airstrike aimed after you only. That happened to me on Sham's yesterday. I took it as a compliment.

Lol demo. Well, spawn camping isn't too bad in my books. Like ugotpiez said, if you don't like it, kill me before I kill you. Although, there is something wrong when one person (Me) spawn camped the entire blue team for two or three minutes, bringing my ratio from 6-7 to around 15-16. I don't think that it should be possible for one guy to camp 15 others. Still, they did suck.......

Only two or three mins. Dude.
Ya know that favela map. Well I was on the green team. The server was SLP.
I made a little camping spot down at the bottom of that mountain. The gap was 1 block and I camped there for over 20 mins and believe me I racked up allot of kills.

Yeah, I agree with you there. The map I was talking about was open, and the opposing team was at the middle of the map, so I'd just go and shoot them every time they popped their heads out. They were many blocks away from the spawn, if I was litterly spawn camping, I'd just go grenadier and wait for one to take me down, instead of try to farm kills out of newly-spawned.
