In gaming, a camper is a player who stays in the same spot for a long time, sometimes throughout an entire game. These players stake out a strategically-advantageous position and wait for enemies to come to them, rather than pursue enemies across the map.
Typically, campers sit in hidden or well-defended positions that give them LoS to areas where enemies are likely to appear. Campers may also wait in areas where items or other boosts will spawn, to ensure they can grab the boosts before other players.
Some players consider camping a cheesy strategy, because if every player camped, games would never progress. Others believe camping is perfectly valid, and that those who decry camping should "get good, noob."
