Yes it is! Let's kick of this blog with some commentary on camping, for which this blog partly takes it's name. According to Wikipedia, camping is "a tactic where a player obtains a static strategic position of advantage, often providing a clear field of view over a choke point or position of tactical interest whilst retaining cover", and, "there has been much debate on what is defending and what is camping". And this is true- after all, who in real life would see the only acceptable battle strategy as charging into enemy fire "spraying and praying" with reckless abandon? Of course trying to control area and taking any advantage is normal to warfare, but in games that simulate first person shooting, all too many cry foul. I concede that if everyone camped there would be no game, I think players shouldn't spew hate just because die of sudden lead poisoning immediately after running around a corner they shouldn't have run around without looking. Adapt! Try throwing a flash or concussion grenade around the corner first, or maybe use your com to report enemy positions. (You have a headset, right?) But please don't whine!
