Or.. (none / 0)

Maybe not go to that same spot multiple times? All you do by that is feed your opponent's killing spree and put the other team one step closer to winning.
I seriously can't think of one spot in Halo 3 where you can camp and not have to constantly watch your back. Bungie was smart in designing multiple paths that can be taken into rooms to allow flanking and discourage camping. Get killed going one way? Go the other - not the same time after time.
However, in COD I found many instances of players camping a single spot where I could never kill them (doorways is a big one). One instance I remember was going after this one guy that had been prone camping this one spot the entire game. Even after tossing a crab load of flash bangs and my two frags, and charging in, I found him still very much alive. And you know how that story ends (me=dead).
It's horrible.

  who religiously plays Halo, I think its pretty naive to think that theres no camping spots in Halo. Just look at snowbound how many times have people camped out the basement, or even the buildings. Yes there are multiple routes in and out but now instead of having 1 guy camping you have a whole team. We've had enough Halo vs. COD here and we know who stands on what side of this war. I just dont understand when everytime we bring something up about one game someone on either side has to defend their holy game.

    You're targeting only one map. Bungie knows the frustration with shield doors, and that's why you rarely see the few maps that contain them appear in Matchmaking.
    Personally I'd like to hear a map named that doesn't contain shield doors that you think is a camp fest.

        up the purple lift things, there is someone there with a mauler 90% of the time. Please don't make it seem like I am bashing the game guys, you asked me where there were campers and I am responding to it. I agree that there are campers in CoD as well (many more infact), but that doesn't change the fact that I like the basic gameplay of CoD more. It's preference, not bashing.

        That's weird.. (none / 0)
        
        Since there aren't any Maulers in the Matchmaking version of Construct anymore (think there might be one down below somewhere, but just like on maps like Guardian, Bungie removed them for the most part). The Sword is still a problem on that map though, which is why I prefer the MLG version of the map (but really, I prefer MLG gameplay to the regular Halo gameplay anyway).
        But really, there are so many ramps and ways to flank that you don't need to go up the lifts. Or if you do, do so when you see some team mate callsigns above you.
        And yeah, you prefer the gameplay of COD, I prefer Halo's (though I've been wanting to get in on COD in FFF lately, I've been preoccupied on Friday's with our G-ball stuff; looks like we're going to make playoffs!).

        are ways around camping in every game, but my point is there is still camping in Halo. It's a great game, but it still does suffer from campers (although not as much as many other games). As for there not being maulers, I haven't done matchmaking on the map in weeks because I got fed up with people camping the lifts and simply back out when the map comes up for me.

        Because I'm thinking you're talking about the Sword room and shotgun halls. Take those two items out though and it's fine.

        Well.. (none / 0)
        
        There's one good way to take away camping in all forms.
        Make a map that's nothing but an empty box and call it done. Won't have to worry about it then!

        if Im taking this the wrong way, but Im not sure why the hostility towards me in this post. You originally asked what maps people camp on. So I gave you examples then you say well ya but only those 2 spots besides that there isnt, then I reply with ya but they're there. I then go on to say that theres camping in all games whether its halo COD or any other MP game you just cant get around it. So if Im taking this the wrong way I appologize but the sacarstic response definately wasnt needed you asked I answered thats all.

        Get used to it and don't take things so literally. It's my sign of trying to drop a topic, but somehow you twisted it into some crooked sarcastic statement I was trying to say.
        Sorry.

        Major Silva, carr has been polite throughout this thread. Please treat him with the same respect. If you don't understand what I mean, take a step back, wait a couple of hours and read your responses again.
