It's a bit upsetting that seems to be needed but I suppose what must be done, must be done.

Camping is a situation that many people seem to freak out about. The second someone gets close to their spawn they'll start screaming camper and try to kick the offender. I know some of you more experience people are probably laughing at this notion, but newer players might not quite know how to handle this situation. Well I'm gonna tell you a few things that will help if you're being camped.

[Before reading: A much as it might annoy you and induce rage, camping is not officially frowned upon, so no crying to admins about how someone is camping you because they'll probably tell you the same thing I'm going to now, shut up and get over it (they might phrase it in a nicer way). With that being said, look to these tips on how to escape these situations.]

1. DO NOT PANIC!: Panic is an enemy in this situation, it will cause you to make stupid mistakes that may lead to a rage quit. Just try to keep your cool and take in the situation. From there decide your best course of action.

2. DO NOT FEED!: One of the worst things you can do if you're being camped is to feed them. Not only are you making them stronger, but you're encouraging them to continue camping. To discourage them, do NOT revive and wait it out. At most resurrect only once if you're fairly sure you can take on the foe. If you succeed, congratulations to you, if not, give up for the moment. If they're determined, and will not leave, move to step 3.

3. WORK WITH YOUR TEAM!: If you're being camped, odds are there are more than one of you in hell. Work with your teammate to overwhelm the camper. If it does boil down to combat there are a few options you can choose from.

A. If the camper isn't overwhelmingly powerful, you can probably just try to revive as quickly as possible and just exhaust the camper. Just remember if you're evil you cannot all revive at once, only one at a time on the ramp. This course of action is the least recommended, but will probably be the easiest to convince your teammates to do.

B. If the camper is fairly powerful, you might need to be a bit craftier in how to handle the situation. Your best bet might be to have the weakest member in hell lead the way, and have the camper waste their blasts on them. If you revive shortly after that, you might be able not only kill the camper while their blasts are on cool down, but maybe even snag you're allies power. This is might be your best course of action.

C. Use the bait and lure tactic. As simple as it may sound, if you're fast enough to slip by, they might try to hunt you down giving everyone else a chance to escape. You could also try a rapid revive and everyone runs in different directions, like the old expression goes (I don't remember it exactly but you should still understand what I'm saying) the wolf that tries to catch both rabbits goes hungry.

D. You would be amazed how far a simple "could you please let us revive?" will go. As another old saying goes (I know I got this one right) you catch more flies with honey. If the situation is bad, you may just want to try this first, but then again where's the fun in that?

E. If all of those fail and you cannot think of anything else, as sad as it is you might just want to surrender. If the enemy is so powerful that not even a organized group of your allies cannot take that person (or in some really sad case persons) down, you may just want to realize the game is over for you. At that point you're team is so far behind that there is almost no hope of catching up, so as a final screw you, your team could do a walk out and join the remake for a another chance.

I know it's not perfect so anyone who has something someone should know in regards to campers, post it here.

Funny topic but camping can go both ways. Z fighters can be camped outside lookout by villians. And if that's the case z fighters should stay in heaven and lvl up and ki train. But you can't really convince people to not revive sometimes. Sometimes if you try saying something like that to them it makes them feed purposely to spite you.

Your argument is invalid, my hair is a cloud.

As sad as it you're totally correct, some people are just pig headed and feed the enemies, in some cases like you said just to spite you. We all know there are people out there like that so just either act fast, kick the feeder, or keep trying to convince them otherwise.

Also I know z's can be camped as well, I just cited most examples for evil because not only does it seem to be becoming more common, but it's also due to the fact they can't all revive at once like z's can I feel they need a little more guidance.

camping is only fun when you want to make someone rage or win in normal mode

i dont camp as much as i used to but i do tend to do it by staying around the lookout or around turles ,old 13 spawn since most villains go that way
