Snipers don't do it in real life if they are shooting and it's not useful in game either. I always hate in BC2 how many lame asses that think they are good snipers that just do what I mentioned above, going to the same spot over and over, getting a kill or two, dying then going right back. There's no skill in that. I like how BC2 present the class as Recon and you got points from performing recon, but still so many idiots just going straight sniper without any recon part of it and sucking. Disgusting. I hope there is a class limit, even though it irritates me when idiots like that take the sniper/recon class. It's better than having a team of idiots thinking they are Carlos Hathcock or watched the movie Shooter too many times.
Again, I have no issues with someone who moves somewhat tactically. They take a spot, hold it a few minutes, kill some people and then move on. That to me isn't camping. But if you just sit in the same spot for long, drawn out periods of time then yeah you are a camper and you suck.
