Modern Warfare Has a Camping Problem Pointed Out by the Community, Infinity Ward Keeps Silent About It

modern warfare quick play filter not working

If you’ve been playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare multiplayer, and you’ve played previous COD games before (which is likely), then chances are, you’ve found the game’s pace to be on the slow side. What’s more, you most likely experienced the Modern Warfare camping problem too.

While it’s a given that players camp in almost every shooter, it’s exacerbated in Modern Warfare given how loud footsteps are, how strong claymores are, and so on. This Modern Warfare camping problem thing hasn’t escaped the eye of the community, understandably.

People have been making memes out of Modern Warfare’s current gameplay design decision, and some of it are on the funny side.

This game is TRASH from modernwarfare

If that wasn’t enough, even some of the Call of Duty YouTubers have published videos lamenting the same stuff. Here’s some from Xclusive Ace, MarkOfJ, and Chaos.

Will this change? Hopefully, it does. But the thing here is, Infinity Ward has kept silent on this Modern Warfare camping complaints. We have no confirmation whether they will change the game’s pace, or if they have any plans at all to do so. If they don’t have any plans, maybe just tell the community about it so they can move on? In any case, people on the Modern Warfare subreddit have upvoted a post asking Infinity Ward whether they can be as communicative as they were back when the game hasn’t launched yet.

Isn’t it funny how things change from modernwarfare

Personally, I don’t observe this. The people I am matched with, for the very most, move around on the maps. More cautious than in e.g. BO4, and I like that change. I think that part of the problem some others observe, is that people who camp for kill streaks, rank up in the skilled based matchmaking and are matched against each other and then they complains that everybody is doing the same as them. They got what they deserve in my opinion.

I’ve always hated the complaints about camping. The whole point of this particular Call of duty is realism. In a military action there’s such things as taking and holding a point. The game even tells you in campaign mode when you die to check your corners. A lot of the objective based games require you to take and hold an objective that’s the whole point of it. So you have to deal with people just lobbing grenades in like mad and blowing you out of the water. How is that any less annoying or any less realistic?every time you get killed by a camper you get a convenient little video that shows you exactly where they were. So go in there and dig them out and stop being such a crybaby.

At least lobbing grenades takes some precision. Sound whoring and camping around a corner takes about as much skill as it takes me to dump in a toilet.

How about fuck camping. I can see if there is an objective to hold or what not but I get killed literally out of no where. Kinda sucks for us people that aren’t as good at FPS but still like to play.

The problem that people dont understand. Call of duty has always been a run around game. So when this came out, people are getting pissed because you can literally get killed and there will be nothing you can do to counter a camper. Like in shoothouse. A map made to resemble old COD games. But yet there are STILL people that camp in offices with a 725 and double claymore. How can you counter that? You cant. Because even if you lob a nade, they can move, even if you try to run in thereto gun them down, that shot gun is going to kill you in a split second because even with an SMG it takes multiple MULTIPLE headshots to kill them. That shield player with the 725 and throwing knives with melt you instantly. THAT is why it needs to be fixed. Because aim and skill are not useful anymore. Its all about camping a corner the whole game and bursting your shotgun at anything that moves. It takes no skill to shotgun someone ESPECIALLY if they camp. They even said they nerfed good players so trash people can get wins they dont deserve. If you want to camp, play rainbow six siege. Not call of duty. End of story.

Why reward campers with Kill streaks & rank promotions they should instill penalties
for such lack of Good Sportsmanship
Rank demotions, forfeiture of money earnings, Weapons upgrades Denied, 5 min delayed re spawns etc.
May the Punishment fit the crime Camping is NOT a strategy all it is Straight up WUSSY PLAY for cheap overrated stats .
