Last night, I played some UT99 ctf online to see if I could find some maps I haven't gotten from FileFront. As I spawned into one map, I get a message telling me not to flag camp. I know that camping in Last Man Standing is where you hide out and let your opponents kill each other, then "win" the game by finishing off the real winner. That's not fun. (I hate how UT2004 tells me I'm camping when I'm playing bots, and there's only one opponent left, and it's easier to wait until he comes to me.) And then there's spawn camping in dm where you stand near a spawn point and kill everyone as they respawn, while they don't have any real weapons to defend with. But "flag camping"? You mean, when I stand near the flag and shoot any enemy team member who comes into the area to take the flag? I call that basic defense. Next thing you know, they'll ban "control point camping" in domination. Back when Jedi Knight 2 was new, I played on a public server. I was so horrible, my tactic was to take up a position near the flag. When an opponent came in to grab it, he'd focus his attention on me, leaving himself wide open for the other defender.
