Camping Spots

DarkangelUK · 2012-11-26 21:05:18 UTC

I didn’t really want to put these as bugs so thought we could have a thread to post or newly discovered camping spots to see if SD deem these as legit and ok to keep, or game breaking and need to be clipped. Here’s 2 I found on London Bridge.

The 1st one is on the very 1st objective. You can leap off the bridge to the vents at the side of the EV, good spot for taking out those pesky engineers as they try to get the initial repair done.

The 2nd one you can use the street sign for cover. Jump from the van roof and land on the bottom sigh, you can stand and shoot over the sign, crouch and you can’t be shot as I believe there’s no bullet penetration on the signs.

Nice finds. Personally, I don’t think that map design is the right way to decrease camping. Though, glitchy spots, such as being able to shoot through cover from one direction, is always something that needs to be eliminated.

For a game to not have much camping, it really needs a combination of:

Plentiful health,
2)Good hipfire and movement,
Good headshot bonus.

That way, the camper is at a disadvantage because he isn’t moving, which makes it easy for him to get headshot. The element of surprise is not enough to take out his target due to the target’s health and the fact that he is moving.

Currently, I think DB’s gunplay feels really fun. It does allow for some camping, but there is enough health, and hipfire is good enough that it doesn’t seem abusive at the moment (unless I just haven’t encountered it yet). If Splash Damage wanted to eliminate camping, then they would probably need to increase the player health even more. But I imagine that some people are satisfied with the camper vs mover balance that it has at the moment?

Managed to get onto the 2nd floor of the building site area on Whitechapel. It’s a pretty good spot, too good maybe as I don’t believe bullets can go through the blue plastic.
