Fed up of being told the "proper" way to play this game.

Having been contributing to these forums since December, it never ceases to amaze me the amount of "elitest" players who are so sure that the way they play is the "proper" way and everyone else is wrong. I have been told im playing wrong because i dont run around like a madman rushing and getting killed and costing my team wins. Because i move around and hold areas in a stealth type manner, i again am playing the game "wrong" Im 9th prest, KDR 1.45 and W/L 1.17 so i must be doing something right. I dont camp as in lying down not moving ADS as that isnt exciting for me. But if thats the way you want to play,thats up to you. I dont blindly rush either, but again if thats what you want to do, thats fine. Because YOU are happy with a certain style doesnt mean im wrong for not using that style. Bottom line...I paid £44.99 on launch day for this game and i will damn well play it the way I WANT to and i hope you do as well.
100% Agree. I like to call it 'Stalking'. Your moving around the map but doing it cautiously. Not because your 'noob' but because you want to get the first shots off when you do meet the enemy and surprise gives you that. Camper has become such a loose term that weak minded people use it to deflect blame from the mere fact that there "strategy" was foreseen/countered and they were out played. End of story.
You are 100% correct zvers and summed up what im saying very well.
To me what ever way you feel you want to play is the proper way to play. If you like to camp go camp, if you like to run and gun do it, if you drop shot do it, if you QS do it.
There is only one way to play this game....and that is to play to win. No matter how you choose to play (except by cheating, hacking, boosting or exploiting). Camp, run n gun or whatever way you like. But please play to win and stay positive on kiils/deaths.
You want everyone who plays this to stay positive on Kills/Deaths?
Because you do know that's impossible, right?
As long as you play the objective everything is all good
Don't play Domination, ignoring flag capturing, solely to pad your k/d. If trying to play TDM in objective game modes then you are deserving of all the flak you get. You're fair game!
My sentiments exactly. Thanks EBN. You saved me typing...
Agreed with OP my game style changes on amost every round it all depends on the gun im trying to leavel up and the map in playing on.
The only good reply to these people that seem's to work for me is "if you want to send me the 100 dollars i have in this game ill play it the way you wont" More times than not,,that seem's to shut them up..but some people just can't deal with being beat
Thank you for addressing this. Everytime I see a post about campers I immediately start to take offense, not because I camp, but rather because to them, anyone that isn't sprinting around the map non-stop is a camper. Who cares, the way I play gets me wins so why does it matter. You're just mad because I'm effective and you obviously aren't
100% correct Ghamorra in what you say. Im the same and i almost take offense because i am not headless chicked running around.

I'm with you. I don't understand why some ppl cry about the way others play this game. You play in the style that fits you best. Other then cheating, hacking, and boosting there is no right or wrong way to play this game.
Yeah I hate campers, not because of thier playstyle they paid their money same as me. I just keep geting owned by them I check a corner and it's generally the wrong one, I can never get the right corner. But everyone plays how they play i'm not a camper or rusher I try to secure a spot on he map and hold it down I seem to well on mission as the best one. it's the only map I do well on the rest I suck on especially dome.
Just a tip since you seem to agree with the OP's play style. In dome, if using med to long range weapons, try getting on the cat walk at the beginning of the game (spawn permitting). Another great area to hold down is in the middle of the map, just in front of the burned out tank. Right around those humvee's parked in a line against the fence. That's a great place to stalk your pray! Good luck!
Oh don't get me wrong i used to rage on the BLops forum and on mic and still have at times. I'm not perfect and have rage moments but I do agree that I can't change their playstyle and have no right to complain. I just gotta deal with it and move on. it's about adapting and overcoming one thing i did learn in BLops was that eventually you learn the maps and hotspots eventually it takes time and patience andkeeping my mic turned off lol.
LOL I can play campy but I prefer to rush with an SMG.
Funny a couple days ago some kid told me I was playing Drop Zone the wrong way while I was the top scorer with over 4,000 in score and like 40+ kills. He was just mad ![]()
Totally Agree ![]()
Very well put op,Elitist players are a bunch of wankers .Seen so many threads crying about everything .
Todays was a guy complaining about attack heli being nerfed because it ruined his 22 kill streak ,or whatever it was .
He just didnt want to die ever
Wow, that's a wrap :)
I'm soooooo happy u posted that, if I use a certain weapon, I'm a noob.
If I use thermal, I'm a noob.
If I use grenade launcher attachment, I'm a noob again
I'm not saying I use those, but who cares even if I did?
I'm sick of that!
I agree 100% on your post sandman, I would like it 1000 times
Anyways, that's all from me
The problem with MW3 is the lag disadvantage makes it very difficult to rush. The sporadic spawn system doesn't always help either. Rushing in MW3 while you are on the disadvantage side of the lag usually just results in frustration. It is just too hard to rush when your enemies soak up bullets and you get insta-killed by them. When people are experiencing this, I don't even blame them for sitting back a little bit. When you are on the advantage side you can run around feeling invincible, destroying everything in your path. It is such a terrible feeling to be on the bad end because you know you are much better than the game will allow you to be.
well...i rush camp....![]()
just keep f***ing couches sandman...your fine lol
YES, well said thesandman! Can't agree more! More people should understand the concept that each player will do as they wish.
Touche'
Couldn't agree more Sandman.
Maybe we need something like alcoholics anonymous group therapy...
"Hi, my name is sennalike, I am a noob and a camper and have been ever since W@W"
There I feel better already just for having said it.
adapt, overcome...dominate
for me theres camper, rusher, and "flag guards"?
anyway, i belive the best player is the only that knows when to rush and when to camp.
i hate when im playing with randoms, and they just run towards gun fire, i mean, whats wrong in your head?
also i hate those guys that go prone in a dark corner with a type 95 (yes it happens to me alot, il see if i can post the video of it)
and above all the "flag guards", these guys are one of the biggest assets a team can have. some1 has to capture the flags yes, but some1 needs to defend them.
when i play dom/CTF with my clan, we always divide in groups, 1-3 capture the flags, 1 slays and the other 2 defend the flags. these 2 defender win games.
but please, please, dont just sit in a dark corner ADSing, plz, thats just being a b1tch
Yeah man, it's really arrogant when people tell me I'm using sniper rifles incorrectly. If I want to run around and quickscope you with my MSR, I will run around and quickscope you with my MSR.
Its just campers (People that ADS on a corner, or while hiding somewhere) are boring to play with. People hate on it because it ruins their streak. I don't like campers myself because its a mindless, boring activity for boring people; but I don't tell 'em how to play the game. If they want to play like that, then so be it; I'll just leave the lobby even if I'm going like 30/6. I LOVE killstreaks, or using specialist but I have found myself playing Dropzone, or Barebones to avoid campers but there's still some (People concerned about their ratio, I'm guessing). I am yet to understand how people draw pleasure from killing someone that doesn't have a chance because he didn't see you in your hiding spot with Assassin and Blind eye ADSing the door. If you think that's fun, buy a second controller and instead of playing online, choose the private match option and kill your defenseless "friend" over and over again until you achieve a hundred MOABs. Every other playstyle is okay for me.
Agree! People always complain about camping/defending. I dont know about every1 else but how can u complain about not being able to kill sum1 when u know where they are...
People that never play the objective in objective games should be anally raped repeatedly with 3 pineapples on a skewer until dead.
That being said if someone wants to lay down in a corner for 50 minutes of every HOUR OF THEIR LIFE and never move. That is their, boring, business.
Personally, I like to actually play the objective and adjust my play-style and strategy on the fly in order to win the game.
Get this a lot in SND and HC.
Whenever someone tells me to stop using a certain gun or play style, I use it more often.
