If your opponents are that oblivious to whats going on around them then they deserve to be camped. Honestly if anything your helping them learn to watch their surroundings more.
"Oh my teammates keep gettind owned over there, maybe I should go a diffrent way and come up behind the guy owning them and kill him."
Anybody who takes cover is a camper. Most people who run around in the open get killed and complain that everyone is a camper. It doesn't make sense.
I think that alot of people automaticaly say people are camping when they die. Its the same thing with overpowered weapons. if you kill someone, alot of the times they will jump to the conclusion that it is overpowered...
Now here is my take on camping- I think if you sit in a doorway without moving for a minute or two, and you only get 1 or 2 kills, thats camping. Now if you are trying to kill people, and in doing so, you discover that if you go behind a vent or somthing, and look over it and keep on getting kills, that is being smart, not being a camper. If you get rushed by 2 or 3 people, then taking cover, and killing them by using cover, thats not really camping. Now, if you just sat there the entire game and got 4 or 5 kills or somthing low like that, then thats camping...
But bottom line is that alot of people get accused of camping when they kill someone just because the person they killed is pissed off that they died.
Here's my issue with the whole anti-camper thing. When someone is in a room guarding a single door, then that's all they are covering. People who camp in one spot the entire game generally don't get that many kills UNLESS someone is foolish enough to rush into the same spot where he got shot time after time again.
There's such a fine line between what is acceptable and not acceptable that it all comes down to how many kills that person is getting, if the person is getting lucky or if he was using his brain, and how long he has been in that location. The common excuse is that if someone is waiting in one spot for most of the game, they are a camper. However, if that person is getting kills in that spot, he might as well stay there and rack up the points! "But that's noobish!" No it isn't! Noobs are the ones who get killed all the time. There's no way you can tell if that person is good or just plain lucky. There is also no way to know to know how many kills that person has unless your estimate revolves around how many times he has killed you, which if it's a lot then of course he isn't going to give up his position.
You can't really tell if someone is camping, and if they are, then you're probably the one dumb enough to run in front of him a thousand times. Back when I played CoD4, I ran into campers all the time! Sometimes they would kill me, but other times I loved running into them! I was able to kill them.
Lets ask ourselves, why do we hate campers?
Answer? The hate for campers stems from this. You're running into a house when someone shoots you from the corner. You get angry because 1. you died 2. you couldn't see them 3. you feel there was no way for you to be able to see him. The reason why people hate campers is because they hide. Can you really call someone a noob for hiding? The last thing you really want is for people to know where you are, so hiding is legit.
Here's a little trick with corner campers. When one kills you, chances are he is in the same room (he might switch corners though). Go back to the doorway and keep your trigger finger ready! Observe any visible corners you can. If you have a blind spot, which you most likely will, try a grenade. Corner campers often return to their camping spots, so lay some claymores. If you don't have any, camp him back! Or, you can go to a different area and wait for him to return to his camp spot from a different are, such as a different building. He will think you're inside "his" building, so he will hesitate to go inside, all while you are behind him, ready to kill.
Though "camping" is quite necessary on rundown (domination) the house that oversees B and A spawn. it's so easy to get a flawless on that map.
I would actually argue that that is defending. The whole point of that game is to capture points, and defend them. I'm sure staying at one point would be defending it. Even if you have intentions of just sitting in one spot and racking up points, your still defending it becasue you are killing people that are probably on their way to capture it.

right but most people see that as camping because they are angry that I keep killing them over and over and over (5 minutes later) over again. and they see it's that same jerk who pitched his tent inside that house killing them. And Oh what's this theres claymores everywhere! lol it makes my day
I don't really camp much, though I camp when I'm pissed. I barely ever play search, but when I do, I camp like crazy. Campers also don't really seem to be an issue for me, because I know all the spots. One thing I don't like is Tactical Insertion campers. Especially on an objective game like Dom or Sabotage, on Afghan. Like you know that spot near the "B" bomb sight, near the edge of the map right out side of the cave? Theres some rocks you can nest in with a silenced weapon, and just kill anyone that comes up.

LOL, that is exactly what I do sometimes. I get almost all my kills from people trying to come back and kill me.

When I get pissed, I usually just freak out and run and gun and try and kill everyone.
As for that spot on Afgan, I agree that its a pain in the a** to take those people out, but usually I can do it with a sniper if I get a good angle on them.

That is camping. Camping is when someone holds a position by waiting by some form of chokepoint.
Rather than making up all these complicated defenitions with complicated loopholes, just accept it.
Want to know what the average gamer sounds like when they say they don't camp?
It's not camping because I just got to this position.
I wasn't camping because the enemies kept coming into this same room; if I was camping I would be here when people aren't rushing in.
No, I'm not camping because it's search and destroy.
That guy was camping, despite it being serch and destroy, because he's using a SMG gun.
That guy might not have waited very long in that spot, but he knew I was going to go into that room. What a camper!
Camping is holding down a chokepoint by waiting in a particular position. As simple as that.
