My Opinion on Camping/Turtling.

There is only one kind of succesful soldier.

It's the one that lives to a ripe old age.

My only problem is those other snipers on the other team. Why must the other team have snipers??

Because your team captain was too cheap to hire/train them?

Sniping/camping sucks. Why the ^%#&%# have they invented the digital battlefield, to stop at thr treeline and try to shoot eachother from a distance of 5 kilometers?! NO!!!! Games like UT or Tribes or Quake are ment to run around in and shoot everything that moves. Okay, some sniping is good, why would they make the sniperrifle, but don't make a habit of it.

"If it moves, shoot it. If it doesn't move kick it, wait for it to move and then shoot it."

Sniping/camping is for lamers. Go sit in a dark alley and try to scare the hell out of some old lady passing by if you really feel the need to do nothing in a game.

You people can sense I'm very much against these kind of things, I really hate people doing this kind of stuff. They ruin a game completely. Damn them all to heaven!

I love sniping. It is a skill that takes a long to master skillfully. In Tribes, and Tribes 2 I was actually sought out to be a team sniper for other teams. It was not that it was a bad thing, it was a good thing because I could find a location and protect my teams flag, defend our base, or go offensive and help our flag runners or pick off the opposing team.

Tribes was a far more enjoyable game to play than is tribes vengeance, as it is an Unreal rip off with jet packs. Tribes was a hell of a lot more fun than Counter Strike and others because of the dynamic game play, team orintation, tools, and game physics. Tribes was truly one of the few and rare games that a person could actually loose themselves in. It was emersive and addictive equal to that of crack and sex. Don't ask me while, it just was.

I used to play Return to Castle Wolfenstein, and I loved sniping. Didn't always do it and tried the others for variety, I seem to remember my other favourite was being a medic. The Only problem with the sniping was that eventually the opposing snipers shoot you, or all the enemy fill your hidey hole with so much lead you don't stand a chance.

Edit: yeah I know, move after every shot but I always stayed for one more shot and thats when i got it. Anyway try moving and the machine guns will get you.
