Crouch camping

Postby Ed » Wed Mar 08, 2006 3:20 pm

I've noticed a couple of people doing this. Seems quite 'popular' on some of the Instagib servers.

They crouch down in a corner and shoot people who they see. As it's Instagib, they don't need to pick up anything as there isn't much too pick up (Minstagib is different) so they can just sit there shooting.

Two problems with these people:
1. They're not actually very good. Maybe they've come from that church of CS and seem to think that standing still is a perfectly good way to play a game.

2. It makes it look like you're taking a shit.

You mean those camper noobs (named in cs or "tactikal waiters")?

But you cant do anything against them... But Im happy, that they just do that silly things instead of cheating!

And if you move very fast, they cant shoot you, or?

I have a hell of a time hitting someone that stnads still especially with the nex.. its like my brain is hard-wired to expect some movement, so i shoot to the side of the target, thus missing :)

But if you know them maps you should be able to get those campers pretty easy, or team up with someone to do it :)

I suppose you mean fov? Yeah thats nice but i'm still not sure what fov to use.. 90 is really too small. 120 is too wide.. 110 is ok but i do not always feel comforable with it.. 100 might be ok too ;)

crouch campers are fun.
like i mentioned in the other post re camping positions, map 13 top deck. go up on the diagonal and the hunter becomes the hunted. :)

map15 roof snipers, lazerjump up the sloped roof side, not the doubel bouncepad. you will probably find the guy edge crouching over the bounce pad.
and you just jumped up on his blindside :)

invariably the camper camps where he does because its a known route people take.
Annoying i know, but it makes an interesting game til they realise they have been rumbled.

yup. a freeky n00b with fsckd up fov xD
nah seriosly, thats cool.. personaly i could never play like that.. i like a fov of 80-95 depending on gametype / map. a fov over 125 makes me loose to mutch of my distance jugement ability.
HOF:
<Diablo> the nex is a "game modification"
<Diablo> quake1 never had a weapon like that.
<Vordreller> there was no need for anything over 4GB untill Vista came along
<Samua>]Idea: Fix it? :D
<Samua>Lies, that only applies to other people.
