I won't be camping, as I never have. I'm not something who thinks camping is utterly wrong, but not someone who enjoys it myself. I simply do not have the patience in a game like Call of Duty to sit in a corner and wait for someone to come by. I've tried it in the past, and have had minimal luck.

I will, however, try to take a more tactical front on things. While I began taking on more tactical strategies when I actively played Modern Warfare 2, there were still times when I was simply running randomly throughout the map looking for any poor soul that I could kill.

There isn't anything wrong with that in my opinion, but I think, rather than running around randomly, having a tactical view and strategy will both help in being successful in the game, and in simply having a more enjoyable time.

Nah they said that they would fix that problem with some kind of program.

Could you explain what you mean? In the past, I have always heard people say, "They need to fix camping, it's so annoying!". In all actuality, though, is there really a way to 'fix' camping? There are multiple reasons why that doesn't even make much sense:

1. Camping isn't an Issue - Despite what some may say, camping isn't an issue in gaming. It is a non-offensive strategy, that does bring a lot of people significant success in game. It may bring annoyance to our more offensive players who run around the map and get killed by these campers, but that's all part of the game. Eliminating camping would be eliminating a playing style of the game.

2. There isn't a Fix - Like said in point one, camping is a playing style. There isn't a way to restrict people from camping, unless doing something like putting a timer on the amount of time you can stand in one spot. That is obviously an awful idea, as that would then cause inconvenience for those using sniper, or other long range classes.

They will probably make an exception to a sniping class. As for other classes like assault, they will no longer camp with the program.

Although I agree about the timer, I believe that camping can be fixed. If the K/D leaderboard was removed, there would be no competition to who could be the biggest noob and camp an entire game, just to go a precious 5-0. Also, if the killstreaks were changed back to the traditional 3,5,7, or something similar, there would be no inclination to camp, as most people can manage to get a 3 kill streak. Also, in objective game-types such as Domination or Search and Destroy, the reward for being a "team player" needs to be increased. Doing so will result in people becoming less kill obsessed, and thus killing out KD whores.

I'd like to see where you got that information. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I simply don't see how they intend to enact such a program.
