Camping can be fun when you have a really good spot and people keep running around you clueless.

Then again it gets really frustrating when other teams do it...

If you dont like camping, play respawn.

I Have Yet To Play Socom 3 online (Fricken Cable Company)> I've Played Many Similar games (ghost recon 1 for pc). If Your Playing The Game You've Camped,Simple Fact. Snipers (Thoughs people With The SD's with scopes or what-not) are ment to camp. They Are sharpshooters or Dead Zoner's w/e you wanna call em, They Are campers,Its there job. You People Say it Takes no skill to camp. Your DEAD wrong. It Takes Skill because if you know how to camp you will live long and not get shot and have many kills under your belt. You Must Know were to hide,how to hide, what weapon your gonna use,how your gonna use it,& most of all how to survive.

Now... These people you label "campers" when they dont "camp" they know exactly what to look for. Hmm lets see lemme give you a good real life example. lets say your being chased by someone out in the woods (that person wants to kill you) you need to hide right? of course... so you climb a tree and hide deep into the branches. Due To The Fact of Some big technical term. people only want to notice things on there perspective. you hid well because he didnt find you.

Snipers/Campers w/e you prefer, Always try to stay above there target when they cant and stay camo'ed. You Have To Know When To Take The Shot And When To Hope To God You Dont Get Caught. Cus' if you take the wrong shot, and dont make it a K.O, you might as well have just used the bullet on your self.

i do not like to camp unless i'meither watching tv too or on the phone or outnumbered. i believe that the only time camping is uncalled for is when the OTHER TEAM OUTNUMBERS THE OTHER. its like holy crap, i'm left against 6 guys and i can see them all sitting in a bush at their spawn. its the most annoying thing ever. but camping is necesarry alot of times, and other its not.

lol i hate frigin people who do that. Or in socom II when people would own on DG Terr, because they can throw some gernades and they think there god. I dont like it when people camp with an SD the whole entire time, that takes no skill. i dont mind the sniping though, cus inorder to snipe, you do need to camp. If I ever do camp, its only for minute or two at the beggining of the round so I dont get killed right away, and so I can get the rushers. On Blackwoods SEALs, i get in my ghille and camp by this one spot for the first minute and get like 2-3 kills from the rushers :D

Think someones camping in a place you need to go....ie... nav point. Simple... M203, or m67... problem solved. Its not different in real life war, its called ambush.

I am a big "camper". I try to find the best spot on every map to lie down with whatever sniper rifle I think may be more beneficial.

SR-25/SASR

• Medium Scope
  Silencer

F-57/226

• Silencer

Claymore/PMM
Smoke

This is the layout of awaiting ambushes. Campers are more then just rampant on the Online version. They are neccesary. Think along the lines of:

Convoy:
Seals Need:
3 Ambush Team = 3 Snipers & 3 Go Men
4 Assault Teams = 4 Groups of 2 Go Men
2 Snipers Positioned At Key Points

Terrorists Need:
4 Vehicle Teams =

• 2 Convoy Trucks = 1 Driver with No Passenger
  2 Mounted Vehicles = 1 Driver with 1 Gunner

3 Assault Teams = 3 Groups of 2 Go Men
1 Ambush Team = 1 Sniper & 1 Go Man
2 Snipers Positioned At Key Points

Either side you play on, this is the most tactical may to play. Notice the word tactical. This is not the more practical way of doing it though. I have played many convoy games as Terrorists, as this is the harder mode to play as, just to test this version.

You need snipers/campers/ambush men to get the job done. Especially as it's a catch 22:
If you have 16 go men, going to complete one objective it won't work. The other teams snipers/campers/ambush men will take out a good fraction of them.

Anyway, just wanted to share this "camper's" story of how we are integral in playing SOCOM 3.

well said casper :D

Even though snipers, in some way, camp a bit, thats OK. If this was a real war i dont think the soldiers would just run around guns a-blazing.. you know? But i can understand when a sniper wants to sit down for a minute and get some amazing headshots, thats alrite. people with M4A1's and IW n wutnot shouldnt just sit in a spot the entire game. Its a complicated subject.
