TerraView: on camping (definition)

Camping in computer game describes the practice of a player staying in one area of the game world waiting for enemies or useful objects to appear or to come to the player rather than actively seeking them out. Players camp in order to gain an advantage over their opponents.

In most games, camping is a legitimate style of play. It often proves frustrating, particularly to newer players, as it rewards those who invest a considerable amount of time in the game (which allows them to know the layout of the maps and the best defensive positions); as well as those with very good aim. Among some players, camping is considered tantamount to cheating, especially in deathmatch-type games. The most common reason for this is that if every player camps, there will be no opportunities for players to come into conflict, and thus there will be no game at all. Those players choosing to camp are playing on the lack of patience in other players, counting on them to come after them first. Most deathmatch-type games have both a time limit and a kill limit. Camping is a strategy centered around taking advantage of the time limit instead of the kill limit. Camping is also seen as an unfair way of getting an advantage in the form of accumulated resources or a beneficial position.

However, the rise in technology of computer gaming allow the ability for the production of more tactical games or strategic games that account for morale, and increasingly the label is not viewed as derogatory. For example, CTF and its variants provide incentive to invade enemy territory, regardless of the risk, since scoring flags is more important than scoring frags. However, even in such games, some players may choose to camp to give covering fire for other team members attempting to grab the flag and run back with it. It is comparable to turtling

Get off me f00l

Ahhh a casule ride to my buddys on my trusty Bmx, but for me most things are never casual.
So upon my long ride ive passed many people, and i like to think of myself being a very cautious rider leaving plenty of space between me and others, so i pass this guy "Get on the road you cunt", *wow i just hoped onto the road and back onto the path making more then enough room to pass this guy whats his problem* "shut up you old fart" i replay while riding on "youth these days wont even stop when there being spoken to"he rambles out, so i stop and dismounted my bmx "I've stoped whats your problem".
Like a bull had seen red he charges at me with his umbrella, thinking he could impale me with his umbrella i instantly grab it from him as he reaches for my throat with his other hand, with the umbrella disarmed and his poor attempted to choke me i pin him onto a short wall hollering "get off me fool" then push him away.
Picking his umbrella off the floor and walsing away brushing mud and dirt of his shoulder muttering crap under his breath, spectators ask if i was ok witch i was so i picked up my bike and continued to ride on as nothing happened. On the rest of my journey all i could think about was finishing that guy off, i would of loved to of kicked the slimy guys teeth in, but wat would that off made me to the spectators.

old fool next time i wont moved out his way

Sounds of Ashford

sitting late at night in my room in my new place, when everything is is quiet i decide to take a walk. Boom open my patio door and the sound of Ashford and motorway hit. 2 min walk into my garden and theres a wonderful view of J10 of the M20, Ill sit in front of a Big tin shed with a smoke watching the world go by, with the Blues n Twos passing by every 5-10 mins, I'm always thinking, who they after? Wat did they do? who's gonna get pepper sprayed? i wish i had some pepper spray :(

TerraTips: 007 Quantum of Solace

handy tips for scoring them kills

  • Ive always found you just dont have enough health, no matter what your shot with. use the all important health and body armour perks

  • Shotguns. they have more range then you think and pack a deadly punch, one well aimed shot to the chest or head from short to med range and you opponent is history, even a manic spray at a long range target could score the a kill. With the Hutchinson A4 being my fav shotgun, automatic with 10 shells it could leave a devastating trail of body's if used in the right hands.

  • Proxy mines, theres only onething to be said about these , @$&!. if you have a good eye and a nice surround sound(headphones being the best) you stand a good chance of hearing exactly where it is before your near it. my advise, unless you can see the mine directly and can shoot it out without making a fuss over it, just avoid that area/room and find a detour. As for placing mines, well where better then the ceiling, just dont spend tolong faffing around where to place it =) Also mines are a good way to draw them opponents out of close quarters cover!!

  • Patroling is a fun tactic to use. Find a route you know that leads all the way round the map, and run it. That way no one can hide. IF you find noone fire a shot(without silencer) in the same place on your route, that way it will draw opposing plays attention to that spot when you reveled on there radar.

  • Maps, if your new and dont know the maps spend a little time in a privet match just exploring and finding the best possible dash, jump, cover and shortcuts to give you the winning advantage.
  • Rifles, i wouldn't worry about rifles theres always one lyeing around to pick up. i find using rifles aiming out of cover generates alot of recoil, generally good for a single shot

  • Blind fire. alot of people forget about it. the cover system is fast and effective, well worth using. Most effective with a shotgun

  • Melee is not worth the risk most of the time as it requires Exact contact and aim to score the kill. unless you can Clobber your target with 100% confidence you gonna hit him, dont bother the chances are he will move and just shoot you.

Affroooooooo!

After being reminded one morning I still owe someone special there valentines chocolates, that inadvertently forgot to get on the Saturday, and that I desperately needed to go to any recruitment agencies, hoping that they would find my rough exterior charming, to find myself a job. So I decided I'd better take a trip into town.

I just get into town, when I hear "LIAM! HEY LIAM"I already know that voice, as my head turns I'm thinking "PLEASE don't be, Afro!" (I met this guy while I was at collage)
DAM! Now imagine a skinny guy with an Afro, then imagine a guy with a beanie on, his Afro bellowing from underneath that beanie, riding a BMX, with his jeans waaaay below his buttocks. Not a pretty sight to see when you have just rode into town from just falling out of bed.
"LIAM! HEY LIAM" he yells as he rides directly into my path forcing me to stop and talk, there was no where to hide. After all the general how are yous and general small talk I think its safe to ride off and complete my mission of getting chocolates and finding a job but NOOOO.
Afro decides he has nothing better to do than follow me around, now I wouldn't mind this but he's a wanna be pimp who calls out gestures and pulling "pimp-a-ma-tic" moves at any female that we passed, and I mean Anything in a skirt(actually I even think he flirted with what looked to be a he-she?????), but he also thought it would be a good idea to follow me into the chocolate shop and start winding the poor old sales assistant up behind the counter, making it rather hard to select my desired chocolates.
After the hassle caused by Afro in the chocolate shop, its time for me to say goodbye to Afro as I needed to go into an agency.
But with Afros persistence he mentions that he also needs to go to an agency, the SAME one as I am about to set foot into. So to avoid anymore embarrassment I divert my plans and decide to just head home. After this terrifying experience I couldn't face anymore Afro, but of course Afro additively follows me home to see my new house, but thankfully after 5 Min's riding he realises there,s a 5mile ride in front off him, so he says his goodbyes and finally leaves me be. Hopefully I will NEVER have that experience again, well not until I go into town again that is.
