Has Call of Duty really ruined the mindset of a Sniper Rifle being a camper's weapon?

    No, all the people who camp with snipers in Call of Duty, Halo, Counterstrike, Destiny, Team Fortress, etc. ruined the mindset. I love sniping, but I hate most of the people who use snipers because they camp. If all my opponents played like me, I'd be a lot happier. [spoiler](Happier because they're not used to sniping without camping so their strategy is gone and a lot happier because they don't have the skillset required to pull off said non-camping strategy. They become easy pickings.)[/spoiler]

    People who stay in specific areas and wait for targets to come to them. Though when you have a long-range weapon like a Sniper Rifle, a target 'coming to you' can be from literally across the map; so long as they're in your sight lines. It's why camping with a Sniper Rifle, to people with at least half a brain, is fine. They're not intended to be close-range weapons but Call of Duty's quickscoping fad has warped the role of Sniper Rifles into some "rush" weapon.

  • The real camping that's bad is hallway camping. Sitting (or prone. ugh) in a back corner looking down a long hallway or path with only one entry way. If somebody stays stationary at the top of the hill in the middle of an open map that's cool by me; that's why I do and it takes skill to take on and kill people from all directions. But if you're camping the same way people camp with a shotgun only using a sniper and the lone doorway is a fair distance away, that's when you're a dirty camper.
