The scumbags of the fps genre in gaming. Although camping is an legitimate strategy for some modes of the game there are some pricks out there that camp 24/7 regardless of the game mode. Whether it'd be Team Deathmatch or Capture The Flag these retards will just sit there all day hiding and camping a little room with claymores rifles and everything else they can think of. It's douchebags like these fucks that give camping a bad vibe for everyone else when the game mode does call for strategic camping. Especially frustrating for Modern Warfare 2 where the fuckers plant claymores in every entrance for a room during Team Deathmatch.
That guy is such a camper, dickhead camps in Domination CTF and Team Deathmatch.
Omg that noob didn't move for the whole game or even tried to capture the flag what a fucking camper.
Dude that dickhead camper just hid in the room during the whole Team Deatchmatch.

Literally speaking, a camper is someone in online games who sits about waiting for somebody to come to them.
I think a more precise definition is somebody who does not have knowledge of an opponents whereabouts/proximity, yet still stays in one place.
It would be accurate to say that the majority of campers have little to no skill, usually they resort to this tactic when they have had enough of being killed playing games 'properly'.
Camping is not considered in the 'spirit' of online first-person-shooters.
People who move around killing could easily do the 'role' of a camper, unfortunately it would be very rare for this to work the other way round.
Campers generally have a high Kill to Death ratio, but will mostly end with less kills and it will be very rare for them to win a match against anything but poor players.
Camping is only partly excusable when player is a sniper or in tactical games, especially ones without re-spawning.

"Why is that guy camping so much - doesn't he get bored?!"
"I'm sure he tried it our way, but failed miserably and has resorted to what you see now."
"But there's a whole game going on out here that campers never see!"
"I know, people should realise you need to lose to get good, not pussy out and camp."

player, especially in a first person shooter, who plants himself behind doors, in shadowed corners, behind crates, etc. and waits for enemy players to rush by and be shot from behind. Campers are called so because they choose such a spot and will often, for the duration of the game, not move from there or will only move to find a new 'camping' spot. The word is usually used in a derogatory manner, but the strategy is in fact quite legitimate. Happens in real life doesn't it? Snipers are, by default, campers as they have to find that perfect spot where they remain undiscovered and can lay down hellfire upon their enemies from afar.

A term given to anyone who stays in one place and kills other players in an online FPS video game. Sometimes confused with a sniper, or a defensive person. Gets lame when he/she attempts to stay in the same spot the hole match of the game and shots a spawning-point over and over again just to get kills.

A term used when a player (in a multi-player game) kills a person when the killer is stationary, in a hidden area for many minutes to wait for a target to get in range for a kill.
Many "pros" use this technique to guard key objectives of the game and hide in areas so obvious they are not and get several kills to loosen the load on the people guarding the "ctf flags" and are wrongfully accused as a person to get easy kills.
Many "noobs" use this technique to get easy kills in areas with virtually no player transit and tends to slow down the game just because of the choice of location.
Many "noobs" accuse "pros" as campers because they cannot understand the fact they just got killed in such a simple way and try to find a reason to justify the "uncommon" act of a person killing them.

A person playing a FPS that sits in one place for extended periods of time, usually in a corner or easily defensible postion using the statistically best weapon like the FAMAS in Black ops. In certain objective gametypes such as domination it is a a valid way to win but in gametypes like Team Deathmatch that are non-objective it is inexcusable and shows a complete lack of skill.
Guy1 "There is a 13 year old kid being a camping tryhard with a famas in the corner by the tower."
Guy2 "Fucking camper, I bet he has claymores all over the place too."
