    Camping

    Concept »

    An age-old, widely-hated strategy in multiplayer games: stay in one spot and kill passers-by. Also refers to a more benign activity in MMOs.

    Defending an objective.

    Ok, camping in deathmach = lame, thats agreed upon.  That being said in capture the flag I should be allowed to loiter around my base to defend the flag.  How come everytime i'm trying to defend the base i get accused of camping.  Am i supposed to offer them an open invitation to grab the flag, or would they rather a mindless dash for the flag for all parties involved to ensure theres no teamwork at play whatsoever.  It's not camping, it's defending the flag!!!!!!!!

    Because, a majority of the time, people are sore losers.  It's a legitimate strategy.  There needn't be anymore explanation than that, you know?  What do they expect you to do -- travel to their base and take the fight to them?

    Declaring flag defense as camping is just as idiotic as labeling sniping as camping, too.

    They're not the same.
