That's alright, camping is cool. You should post screenshots of the places you mentioned. By the way, I took the liberty of fixing your forum code a bit. There were four [li] tags sticking out.

Ohhh my fav would be on inf_warehouse when being on blue team and hiding in the bush that is right next to the tunnel entrance for the low route to the building. And as I usually am in full red color, mostly ppl think im on their side and continue sprinting forward until they get a nasty, backstabbing 0.50 caliber bullet impaling their knee from behind. I love doing that.

Also I like doing lucky shots of Inf_abel's red base's roof. Just get out of the base, go on the roof of it, take a nice relaxing position and watch the exciting bullet cam follow the long-range killer bullet slice a bravo or two.
Works only when there are alot of players.

In B2B, if you spawn from Bravo there is a spot where your bullet arc will always spiral through a good section of the enemy Red base.

It's the spot in front of your Bravo flag, where the medkits spawn. From there, aim your barret forward, and experiment with a few shots. In time you can memorize bullet arcs that goes through the bridge, or the enemy base.

Since B2B is usually heavily camped, I either use this tactic to outcamp the campers first and move on forward to get a better sniping position, or just annoy the incoming rushers.

It's nice when long distance shots hit the target constantly. Imagine spawning in red base, while taking some health or grenades in your base with no enemy in sight, and suddenly BAM YOU'RE DEAD.  [pigtail]

The screams of "OMG WTF" is pleasant to the ears.  ;D

If low on health I like to camp right beside the flag on ctf_Kampf, alpha base. Not many people think you can hide there but, you can :)

I also like hiding in the bushes right beside the flag on ctf_Snakem it's good cover for the flag.

Another spt I like to sit in is right outside the bunker thing on the bottom of ctf_Dropdown. You can fire right into the opposite base, and cover all three opening.

There is also a little grass patch on the lower left floating island closest to alpha base on ctf_Nuubia that proces to be a good spot.


I only really camp with the barret or when I'm really low on health.

From the "what does your Soldat look like" thread.

"My camouflage That can be used for a-lot-of-Camping and Ambushing"

My pure camping days are long behind me, but if I do camp, I like to use my camo to hide in places that a non-camouflaged player would be easily spotted, so that most players would never expect me to be in that hiding place.

I hate people who complain about camping, especially in team games...  Although I can understand if the ENTIRE team is doing it, would get annoying.

Its a legitimate strategy called defense.  It DMs it's stupid though.

I don't camp personally, cause I'm a shitty sniper   ;)

I hardly camp, but when I just feel like it I try and camp where people would least expect it. ;s

I'm fine with anything except spawncamping, but I don't usually do it myself since I play in CTF pubs mostly, where you (in most cases) can't rely on a teammate to cap while you camp.
I attend grammar school, last grade, and ignorance is all around me. Well, good for them. Ignorance is bliss.

I usually don't camp, but if I would, my camping place would be in Maya, at red spawn.

I rarely camp (I hate campers, especially 3+ in a bunker, YEAH!!!) but when I do, I know some good angles and If I'm irritated... you'd better take gooooood cover :)

I love hiding in those bushes on b2b, mid map. People are just so oblivious sometimes.

Oh right, how could I forget b2b. b2b, among trees and bushes, is the only map I would buoyantly camp in.

My favorite spot to camp in on inf_Warehouse is the low route, the lowest part right underneath Blue's base. In earlier versions, it was a tight tunnel, a perfect choke point as you could rip apart anybody who went in it with an AK-74. It's still good, both on Bravo to discourage low runners and on Alpha to cover the FFC. Just watch your back.

My favorite spot to camp in on inf_Outpost is the left side of the bridge. Far left, almost off it but still on it. You can cover both the low and the high routes. The angle for the low route is good enough that you can get a few ricochets.

I really like camping in the base on ctf_Ash. I can pop-out, kill 1-2, and retreat back to the base for safety. And it also overlooks any possible place that the EFC can escape to.

Nothing wrong with camping.

Anyway, I like to hide where I am not visible with the barrett and BOOM, pwned. Dunno the names of the maps tho, so i cant help you there. In CTF levels, I normally like to hide in bushes and snipe the other team. Also, in tunnels, i like to camp and pwn everyone who crosses my path.
