Camping
From TF2 Wiki
Due to the type of gameplay in Team Fortress 2, camping is less of a problem than other online games as completely avoiding combat will often result in a loss for the offending side. However, there are some methods by which player can 'camp':
Things that Constitute Camping
The following list is to inform players of what is camping and what is not:
Most if not all of these are looked down upon:
- Waiting at an enemy Teleporter exit until someone comes through in hopes of catching them off guard.
- Demomen Sticky bombing a place of little important and staying there, especially the door to a spawn point (sometimes seen in the hay room in 2fort).
- Engineers building Sentries pointing at the door of the enemy spawn (such as in the hay room in 2fort).
- Staying in the blind spot between a corner and the exit to a resupply area and attacking the players that come through.
Things that do not Constitute Camping
All these are perfectly legitimate strategies:
- Snipers staying in one position, unless it is of little strategic importance.
- Demomen staying behind their Sticky bomb carpets in strategic locations.
- Heavies waiting in strategic positions as human Sentries.
- Engineers guarding their Sentries.
