Usually in Multi-player games, a player who will "camp" by a spawn point, in order to kill a player almost instantly after he/she has respawned. This, is a perfectly legal tactic, however it is very much unfair. these problems are somtimes prevented by game features such as invicablity fo (X) amount of time after the player has spawned. Campers are usually unexperienced players or noobs, who can not win the game, so they use this method insted of obtaining victory through skill.
*player A moves to enemy spawn point*
*Player B is killed, respawns, then is quickly killed by player A, who is "camping by the spawn point*
this continues as insults are exchanged, mostly about the camper being a noob.

While camping is, in fact, a legit strategy, it does make for boring game play. If a person wishes to devote their life to waiting and not moving (apparently some people get off on winning and not actually playing the game to it's fullest extent) then that's their business. They are just creating an unfriendly game where winning at any cost is the sole purpose. Campers will often resort to hacks as well if their camping fails to achieve them victory.
The bane of the camper is having his weapon of choice removed from his arsonal usually resulting in his defeat (should he not quit the game first).
Campers also find themselves tiring of a game sooner than others because they experience the same game play their entire time camping. This results in the purchasing of a new game where a new camping location will, without a doubt, draw the attention of the camper, where he will then repeat the process above.

Player A - "Well I was having fun until that camper joined."
Host - "Yeah, I'll just remove sniper rifles."
(Camper Leaves)
Host - "There we go, back to a good game."

Campers, by definition, are people who position themselves in one spot and stay there for extended periods of time, usually either to guard an objective or to surprise unwary passer-bys. Flamed the most on the ever-popular Counter-Strike. Campers are usually hated on by anyone that doesn't camp because people seem to think that getting a kill while running in front of 10 opponents is smarter than picking them off by surprise. It's sad to say, but people are so impatient that they're willing to call you a camper just because you stand in a spot for more than 15 seconds. The whole reason why people get mad at campers is because either 1.) They died because they decided to try and be "skilled" and ran out into the open with their gun firing only to be shot at by six other guys, or 2.) Someone who is too afraid to look for the camper because of the fear he will be killed, thus lowering his score. Just because someone decides to hide behind a box so he can kill people that pass by doesn't make him "n00b". If he's a "n00b", what does that make you for getting killed by him. If you're good enough to call him a "n00b", why don't you just...check around instead of running past him like an idiot and getting killed, it's not that hard
The gist of it: A group of people with patience and strategy hated on by idiots and impatient 13 year olds with autism and/or ADD.

"It's 1 vs 10, I think i'll camp so I can pick a few of them off first."

A derogatory term referring to a individual in a first-person shooter who uses strategy and tactics rather than quick fingers, e-thuggery and lack of a social life to win team/objective based games.
"Yo, the 3oII clan is good at fukin camping, f'n fag campers"
"Actually, the 3$ clan is good at running into the street and getting shot. Learn how to play"

Camping is a method of sniping, usually used on fps style games. it genrally involves standing crouching or lying prone in a high spot with a good vantage point or view. campers are genrally disliked by the online gaming community due to an apparent lack of skill, however is their more skill in carefully picking of other players or rushing in like a noob and getting shot, if the noob approach is more skillfull why do you die more often? because of this campers are often targited for abuse by the more moronic players of the gameing community. campers are often referred to as noobs no-matter the skill used in targeting amoving target and takeing them out, one shot one kill
camper sits in wait, like crouching tiger. unwary prey runs like headless chicken, camper strikes, now chicken really headless. this is skill
OMG fukin camper fight like a man

A person that can't play the game, have to sit at spawn wait to get potentially "RUSHED" and take them out and also people that wait until theres like two guys left on the opposite team until you decide to slowly move.
There are some exeptions though : If your on a team on a big map 1 or 2 "CAMPERS" is ok.
You can't camp if your a "LONE WOLF" because your on your own n your not playing strategicly.
You are outnumbered by more than 3 to 1.
You are defending a bomb PLANT that you recently PLANTED. You have just started playing the game and don't know what the hell to do ( BUT YOU CAN SPECTATE AND LEARN IN TIME) and last (IF YOUR IN A REAL WAR GETTING SHOT AT BY THE TALIBAN AND YOUR REAL-LIFE IS IN DANGER) i Hope the majority of people "UP" this because if your good like me you will know this is correct. And if you "DOWN" this YOU are described in the title. Thank you for reading
