Oh and Toptuning, I believe you mean snipers. I'm tired of people crying "CAMPER" when I snipe. A camper is someone who is using a class such as engineer, assault, or support, and insists on sitting in a certain area for very long periods of time without moving in hopes that they will get the drop on an enemy, rather than doing their jobs such as repairing/destroying vehicles, healing/reviving teammates, and distributing ammo/supporting teammates. What is the role of recon class? To pick off enemies from a distance, set up spawn beacons so teammates can get to the front lines faster, and set motion sensors/MAV's/laser designators to aid teammates in spotting enemies and locking onto vehicles. Being a sniper means you don't want to be running around guns a blazing. You stay put, and don't move unless your position is compromised, you need to set equipment, or you need to find a better vantage point. With this in mind when you say knife campers, you really mean knife snipers. Because if an enemy is up on this tower and is any class but recon, their presence isn't going to be much of a threat way up there unless they are merely locking on to vehicles with Javelins or Stingers. If that's the case by all means do what you will to kill them because they can do some damage up there with a sniper rifle or rockets. But don't get so offensive about it, that would be like getting your panties in a wad over an assault guy reviving teammates or an engineer destroying your vehicle. The person is obviously doing their job in that class on the battlefield.
I do dislike actual campers though. There's nothing that chafes my willy more than spawn campers or a two man team one support and one engineer who throw down mines, hide until something runs over it then go right back to laying them down again. It's basically like this. If you are playing a certain class and run out of equipment, just do nothing else but kill people or capture objectives. The only classes excluded from this would be assault and support as they can never run out of health packs/defibs and ammo packs/explosives/mortars.
