Staying In One Place

Camping in computer gaming jargon, describes the practice of a player staying in one area of the game world waiting for enemies or useful objects to appear or to come to the player rather than actively seeking them out. Players camp in order to gain an advantage over their opponents.

Camping in most games is considered unsocial and is often frowned upon. Among some players, camping is considered tantamount to cheating, especially in deathmatch-type games. The most common reason for this is that if every player camps, there will be no opportunities for players to come into conflict, and thus there will be no game at all. Breaking this deadlock requires some players not to camp, but this means they give up the advantages gained by camping and are often quickly defeated by the players who continue to camp. Camping is also seen as an unfair way of getting an advantage in the form of ac*****ulated resources or a beneficial position.

Unfair Advantage

Cheating in online computer games is a broad category of activities, all of which are generally regarded as modifying the game experience in a way that gives a player an unfair advantage over the other players. Depending on the game, different activities constitute cheating, as it is often a matter of consensus opinion. Normally, the use of things such as cinematics are allowed

The Gaming Sniper

Sniping, in computer gaming, especially FPS multiplayer games, is the tactic of using a very accurate, powerful weapon to kill other players or other targets at long distances. Sniping weapons can usually kill players with one hit. It is also normal for them to have a scope magnification that can be used to look across the map and locate other players or aim with precision at another player's head.

The behaviour of a player who is sniping often emulates that of a real sniper, meaning they tend to hide themselves in strategic, often high-up spots - and if they are good shots, they can kill opposing players with one shot (especially in games where especially lethal headshots are possible).
