Sinful Sunday: Campers and dropshotters still exist?

I think a lot of first person shooter gamers hate campers and dropshotters, these are people that use cheap tactics to win and unfortunately they´re quite effective (which usually means more and more people use these tactics). But with the new exo abilities and movement I didn´t expect this to be used as much as I´ve seen so far in CoD Advanced Warfare, but it seems now more than ever that people use these cheap tactics. What happened?


Games like CoD are full with people that are just unpleasant (to keep it civilized), people that want to win at any cost because for them that´s the most important thing in the world. Instead of trying out exo abilities or jumping around they sit (or they´re prone) in a corner and wait for you to move into their line of view. For those that do move around a bit there is still the dropshot option where they instantly fall on their belly and shoot you, there isn´t much you can do about that and it´s not a surprise that you often lose in those encounters. Instead of feeling motivated to try out jumps, slides or use some nice evade tactics with your exo boost a lot of people use the old cheap tactics because that´s how they´ve always played and probably will always play.


But aren´t there a lot of people that constantly complain that CoD is always the same and how they wish things were different? That´s true, but in the first game that actually changes the way you can play CoD multiplayer you see that the majority still plays exactly the same way as they have always play CoD multiplayer. Which makes me wonder why they even bother buying Advanced Warfare, they could´ve kept playing CoD Ghosts or Black Ops 2 for that! You´d be surprised how many people are obsessed with their k/d, score streaks and more of that type of nonsense. Which is usually the main reason why people use these cheap tactics.


Personally I don´t give a shit about that, I just want to have fun playing a new game. Unfortunately these relics from the past with their cheap tactics make it a lot harder to enjoy a game, especially if you get killed a lot of times by people who play like that. I´m not a good CoD player but I would like to try out some new things, which is quite difficult when people are constantly camping or dropshotting. It ruins the fun for those that want to use exo abilities and try something new, I guess the old tactics work better than the new tactics which is why a lot of people still use old tactics. For that reason I think it´s better that they (developers) take the prone position out of multiplayer and make campers light up (red) through walls or other objects. This keeps the game fresh and hopefully keeps the frustration out!
