(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So I know we all like to rant, blame others and call people who oppose us "kids, virgins" or a racial slur. This thread gives 5 tips to reduce effectiveness of camping as well as a few things that are erroneously categorized as camping. P.S. if you mostly used portable radars or Support killstreaks you deserve camper deaths :carling: And I know good players know these things but most players arent good. When a team gets multiple MOABs a game, iy isn't from camping but how terrible the opposition is.

1. Play in parties. I can't state this enough. I played solo the other night. My team full of new guys and splitscreen parties. If you must play alone try to avoid splitscreen teammates. Most COD players are bad so unless you're playing a clan, expect bad players. You may get high scores but more losses. It's going to be harder to combat camping if you have a team full of randoms ill-equipped to deal with the punk ass dude in a corner. Team allows you to communicate and you may have camper teammates who know how to weed out spots because they camp there lol.

2. Become a GOOD rusher. People have this notion that rushing automatically makes you good. There is a difference between El Presador and say TheMarkofJ
One guy slow reflexes, hip fires across map and has narrow vision and the other is J. El Pres is funny as hell though. Use flash bangs, stuns, and FLANK. Most rooms in COD have multiple routes. Don't combat a guy aiming down his sights a mile away with a shotgun. Good, alert rushing helps
Running around, pressing buttons is what most do. COD has MILLIONS of players. So expecting everyone to play the way you want aka most advantageous is silly. Expect a guy to be hiding prone in a room. Especially the way UAV and perks aid campers as much as rushers. Pay attention to the map and not just a HUD. Get a headset, learn spawn points and how to spawn trap/avoid getting trapped.

3. Be patient and adjust. Switch to Assassin/Ghost to sneak up on motion sensor campers and the underrated amount of guys who use UAV to help them camp
In MW3 the most underrated perk is Recon Pro. Assassin can't block it and I swear of more people used it, it would be "OP". It was a great way to deal with campers on MW3. Use the right gun and perks on right conditions. Quit trying to use a shotgun on big maps if guys are aiming down the sight across map. Adjust instead of helping them camp. Campers pray on the hot heads who will die 10 times just to kill a guy once. Killing a guy hiding is rewarding but try not to give up a Chopper in the process. The better player you are, easier to deal with campers. If you're quicl scoping no matter how good you are at it...It isn't a way to stop camping. Adjust your strategy to force the camper to rage quit, then return to 360 scopes.

4. Communicate. Shout out camp spots. Also big killstreaks like Blackbirds, Choppers, Dogs, etc tend to weed out campers. They are distracted by air support and easier to rush against.

5. Try Ground War...Regular tdm, free for all in particular seems to be where bad players and camping happens the most. Not saying GW doesn't have campers but it tends to be more fast paced. Hardcore and Search modes are more strategic so honestly camping is the smarter thing to do. Avoid those modes if you are a rusher unless you have a team of course.

If a guy is hiding in building while air support is up or while your team is destroying him, he ism really bad for hiding. The guys trying to camp flags while down 100 points in domination while air support and dogs are out are amusing to me though. As well as the guys "brave" enough to spawn IN but run OUT.
When you are going Sandy Ravage on a team, you can't expect them to keep getting abused easily although they usually do and actually stay in the lobby for more ass beating.

Be careful throwing flash bangs and shooting. People can be perceptive and sound whore. It's easier to know a guy is coming if he is spraying

If a guy goes 50-3 or something and you have a team full of negative scores, chances are bad teammates ate to blame more than campers. Playing in a party and against splitscreens will automatically increase your scores and ability to avoid campers. Why do you think clans run from other clans? Most good COD players destroy bad players. COD has more bad players than good. Play with a party five games and solo five games and I guarantee you the biggest change will be the skill level. Hard to camp effectively against a team vs random people playing and those terrible splitscreen guys.
