I'm a Halo fan. Ever since OIF 1 with CE, what else was there to do to release stress between doing work and dodging everything they would lob, shoot, remote, etc.?

Lately a friend and I are going through each campaigns on Legendary with the MCC. Reach was just done, we're doing good so far in CE.

I've been replaying ODST, I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed it.

I'm thinking after H2, we're going to do that one next before H3 as the timelines seem appropriate if done that way.

Legendary, new combo all the way. My not so savvy buddy is still trying to figure out what wizardry is this, despite me trying endless times telling him how in party chat. Pretty sure alcohol is probably why, he is a sailor that is back on a boat.

Every single game I've ever owned.

Every damn time.

Out of context CK2 is some of the funniest shit.

I jumped in recently since playing Cataclysm. Leveled my 85 mage up to 114 at the moment playing through some of the last three expansions. So much in the game has changed. Game has definitely catered to those that like creature comforts..

Seeing the WoW references here....decided to jump back in and create a new character...was getting a little tired of COD and D2, time to relax and enjoy some leveling.

9GB to go on D3. Cruising with a 500kb/s download.

Nahhh fam, if I win a 6v6 that is a team win and shit talking authorized. 1v1 is a completely diff game.

 

[SaintKP]

Hard disagree, you gotta win those King.

You can be carried in a 6 stack, no one can carry you in a 1v1. A 3v3 is a different dynamic than a 6v6, but in a 1v1 you can't hide.

 

[nobodythank you]

Sometimes hiding is the right strat move. Big brain time.

If you're a camper then we need to redefine our relationship.

No but I can run.

So, uh, how's hiding = camping?

Just because you don't like it when someone gets the cloak AND the covenant sword don't make it camping.

Sounds like we need to get a custom H5 game going real soon.

Camping is trash. Invisibility on something, I'm down. Hard scope a lane for 3-5 seconds, I'm down. Roaming near a spawn point, I'm down. Sitting still for 15+ seconds instead of taking the fight to the enemy?

That's bitch work. I suck at PvP. I recognize that sometimes you have to hang back and figure out their intent instead of charging forward, but to me "camping" is going prone/ hidden and just sitting there.

In a video game, I think it is a trash move.

If the objective calls for it, ya. Defending an objective (flag, bomb site, hostage, intel, cap point) is by design, camping a point to prevent the enemy from getting it.

Camping is an issue easily remedied with lots of explosives at range or a distraction.

Check your corners scrub....

If you really hate getting ganged on by 4-12 people, then teabagged and called a noob, try Bannerlord. I guarantee you, that won't ever happen. You can trust me.

I think good map design takes camping out of the equation. If you force players to be active in their angles or keep the risk/reward level on maps by overloading areas to gain information then there is almost never a reason for a camper because that player hurts the team massively.

 

[nobodythank you]

Good map design or not, if you have an objective, let's say a bomb site, then regardless of how the map is you will be forced to camp or assault. each carry their own risks and/or rewards. Think of a camp as an ambush. You setup waiting for the enemy to come through, hoping he doesn't spot it too soon or react faster than you. No doubt it is frustrating to get killed by campers. The thing is to know when and when not to do it.

Now, I would agree with your argument for say a TDM mode or Kill Confirmed type game. Then the whole objective is to shoot move communicate. Otherwise, no.

Here is one that I am sure will get blood boiling. Bunny Hopping. Like in COD for instance (and other games) where you can hop around corners and get head shots with anything. Then of course there are the Sky-PGs (RPGS shot from parachutes or in free fall )
