How To Destroy A Camper

You creep around the corner. Trigger finger ready to squeeze a few rounds into a known enemy. The corner slower disappears to the right side of your screen.

BOOM!

You have become the latest victim of the camper. Chances are good that if you have ever played a first person shooter online you have been the perpetrator or victim of this 'strategy'. The process of finding a great camping spot is an imperfect one. Typically it will be in a low traffic spot of a map.

If you find that you are the victim of such map dominance you need to make sure you have communication with your teammates. This also requires a strategy reminiscent of Velociraptors discussed in the movie Jurassic Park.

Make sure you have the location of the camper known to a certainty. Then organize your teammates to come from both sides of the camper. Pull the attention of your opponent towards a focal point out and away from the sides - it also helps to throw frag grenades within his/her view field to distract even more. Then let your teammates destroy the camper and enjoy the spoils of tapping your crouch button repeatedly on the dead foe's face.
