Colt, I really do respect your decision not to play a game with "camping", however I must try to explain this to you.

There is no such thing as "camping" in a realistic game. As a game moves away from Quake, and towards the more realistic games, such as Ghost Recon, OPF, and to a slightly lesser extent MOH and DOD, you get realistic combat situations.

In these games, bullets are usually one shot one kill, as they are in real life. Those who wish to truly play these games, and act out modern (or WW2) military tactics, defend a strategic objective, so as to not allow the enemy to gain a foothold on their territory.

Setting up a line of defense is very hard to do, and requires patience, skill, and teamwork. Those defending a line against the enemy must be crack shots, so as to deny the enemy the ability to return fire, or to even deny the enemy the ability to understand where the fire is coming from.

Patience is needed to wait on the enemy to return, and not get up and blow your cover. You must lie still, to deny the enemy the ability to locate your person, and nail your brain pan with a small piece of steel.

Teamwork is essential to this working, as it is the only way that you can push back flank attacks against your weakest defensive positions. Multiple people defending a wide territory, are brutal against the enemy, when they have skill, patience, and teamwork going.

This is what Germany did so successfully in WW2, defending it's territory against massive odds.

This is what alot of us like to try to do in realistic games. It's not camping, it testing out tried and true military tactics. And, it works...especially against mad kids screaming about camping.
