(No) more campers?

With first person shooters becoming faster and more action packed it seems that the days of the camper are numbered. I mean how can anyone not participate in the jumps, tactics and abilities that these new first person shooters offer?Well clearly you´ve never met a camper, because these people will never change...


When I look at CoD Advanced Warfare multiplayer then I look at something that is a lot of fun and it actually encourages you to move around and try things out. But guess what? I already saw people camping in corners in one of the first multiplayer videos. It´s crazy how someone can do that when you have these cool abilities and you can take different routes (also vertical now) to surprise enemies and yet there are still people doing that stupid cowardly bullshit! I think CoD has been trying to get people to move but even with a game mode like cranked (when you get a kill you have to make another kill within 30 seconds or you´ll explode) in CoD Ghosts people still looked for that corner to sit in. I guess it´s just a way of playing for some people, they don´t know much else than that and it can ruin the game for other people that just want to experience fast and exciting gameplay. But things get worse for anyone who wants to play CoD AW multiplayer, there is no dead silence (a perk that makes your footsteps very quiet so it´s difficult for other players to hear you move around) so this will probably keep more people in the corner and less people on the move.


I don´t say that I don´t get it, because in CoD Ghosts with killstreaks you want to stay alive long enough to get the higher killstreak rewards. But now that scorestreaks have returned in CoD AW I certainly hope that this will motivate people to move around a bit more. It´s quite annoying when everyone is camping, it takes the fun and the speed out of the game. Which then leads to long and boring matches, not something you want to participate in!


So how do you get people to move? Well it helps when you don´t die so quickly like in CoD Ghosts, because if you can take a couple of shots you have a better chance to survive an attack from behind. Scorestreaks also help, especially if you can still earn them after you die. Because if your scorestreak resets every time you die then you´re less likely to take risks and stick to the same spot more often. Of course the game has to be fun, if things get too easy and everyone just earns everything just like that then there is no challenge. So a nice balance is also important, but it´s difficult to get people out of corners because campers are usually obsessed with camping once they´ve had succes with it.
