You need look no further than your nearest game to see how the COD community has infected or poured over into other games. I played DayZ PvP a couple times and each time I died right where I spawned. I can understand you killing someone for their gear when they have been playing a few weeks and have some junk but sitting near game spawn points to kill them when all they have is a f*cking flashlight and a bandage just smells of the douchebaggery that is the COD community.
You are telling me COD is to blame for people acting like dicks in games we play? That is a serious stretch. Maybe PC gaming has just become more accessible to younger player's than it ever was in the past? So the maturity level of your average gamer is a lot less than it was.
To blame an entire gaming populace for people acting like dicks in other games seems... what's the word im looking for?

What Kaz said..
I like it so far.. but having issues with lag.. i always join the games really late. But that can be common during the first couple of weeks of Cod releases. I think the game has a huge fun factor that has been missing in a lot of the others. Haven't played much yet though, so shall see :d

I've been watching videos and the game seems fast paced and fun. However, I'm not sold just yet.

I like the game, but the camping is ever present. Ruins it for me. When people move, and the lag isn't bad, the game is really fun

I would say it was a stretch if I were the only one who saw it. But I am not.

There is a reason why gaming communities love when COD is released, because the COD players all stop playing other games.

Connections for AW on PS4 the last 2 days have been complete shite. I'm not the only one. Support threads are blowing up about it. Still aggravating.
Odd how it's only affecting PS4. PS3 seems fine.

Of course, that doesn't excuse the spawns...
It's infuriating. I want to love this game. It can be so good. So far, after night one, it isn't. At least AC:U is out this Tuesday. That'll eat up a lot of time for me. Maybe by the time I come back, it'll be ironed out.

I remember d1ckholes in COD4 who camped balls on top of the 3 story on Crash, on top of tanks on Countdown, in windows on Bloc, behind desks, small rooms and corridors on Vacant, on rooftops and windows on Backlot, behind the conference table on Broadcast, in windows and behind clutter on Chinatown, in containers on Shipment, on balconies on Wetworks....do you see where I'm going with this?
We seem to think that anything beyond COD4 fostered camping....and the progression of the game (killstreaks, stats, youtube, etc) progressed the camping. They've always been there. We've always hated them. We've always tried to make their strategy a losing one.
If y'all think that the majority of players camp, then we're playing totally different games...and have been for nearly a decade. My gripe has always been connections, because that's something that can and should be fixed, can and should be consistent, and can and should be the focus of the complaining. Expecting all gamers to toe our line is like expecting all drivers to drive at your speed. Ain't gonna happen....so, you gonna stop driving?
I have a 2 month window of free time (usually from now until January), and it looks like AW will get a fair chunk of it. Sht connections will hopefully be patched up, freezing fixed, etc. But I don't expect people to play differently anymore.

Camping has always been in COD, but the difference in the games is, the ability to counter them has gotten a bit more difficult. BO1, for example, had the highest time to kill out of any recent COD game, which allowed time to react to the various shitheels and their pussy tactics. Someone sitting in the corner didn't necessarily mean that you would lose the encounter (obviously, connection also played a role). Ghosts, on the other hand, was practically an insta kill scenario and camping (combined with the awful graphics) made the game torturous. Map complexity has drastically increased as well, offering way more incentive for camping. Back in COD 4, you only had a few windows to worry about at a time, now you have an almost overwhelming amount. More difficult to deal with that aspect of the game as well.
Certain games do really well at making camping a losing prospect (BF, Destiny, Halo, etc.), and while AW brings a LOT of fun with the exo suit, it's still disheartening to see a portion of the community, completely ignore a very good thing. The difference between camping and not, is that bullet damage. As long as someone can kill me quickly, there will be corner sitters and window perched statues.
Yeah, there is a point that, if the highway I'm traveling on isn't moving, I'll just go to another road.

System hack is the most obnoxious piece of shit I have ever seen, I have to spend 2 points on every class not to see that bullsheet.
The rest of the game feels a lot of fun, I played for 12 hours last night getting from 0 to 33 and enjoyed most of my time playing.
A few maps lag badly and I hope there is a patch for it soon, the BAL-27 gun with any kind of upgraded drop makes it dirty

While there may be more windows... they are more open. There are elevated areas but most are completely open . So like in cod4 where you could chuck a Nade and clear out a room... This game has made camping spots very accessible.
BO1 had the longest time to kill... It was also one of the last times we rolled full crews in a mode like HQ. It was not by mistake that my stats in that game were the highest of any COD. Between chaining streaks from eachother, and making the enemy come to us to win (HQ - They had to move or get beat terribly)... We dominated.

Yeah, I think this is the last CoD I ever buy.
I thought connections/lag/latency/lag comp were bad for MW3! I'd give my left nut to have them back.
Sucks being almost a full 2 seconds behind some people... and all while SUPPOSEDLY being on a 4 bar. I'm not even exaggerating. I'll give the 2 most egregious examples of the night:
BS Prime: I know a guy is camping in a high spot (duh). I flank him, round the corner with his back to me. Proceed to fling lead into his chest and head at pretty close range. As I start shooting, he's starts to turn and RELOADS while I'm putting up hitmarkers and head shot indicators like it's making me money. Suddenly, BAM! I'm dead in a single blast like I just got facialed by a shotgun. But that's not what the kill cam shows. Oh no. According to the kill cam, he got done shooting at someone across the map, turns, reloads, sees me casually walking around the corner like some dumbass, raises his gun, fires a grand total of 4 bullets, and I'm dead having never even raised my rifle let alone fired. This was the worst example of the night, and I haven't embellished the story one iota.
I'm on Terrace with an SMG with a laser site. Rushing. Hit a straight away the same time as an enemy. I hip fire to start gaining a nice string of hitmarkers and also start aiming down the sites while firing aiming right at his head. First to fire by a long margin. BOOM! Dead. I never saw him even fire a shot. As my body crumples to the ground, he goes prone for some reason. Kill cam? Yep. He sees me just running right at him like an idiot. Draws a bead, starts firing and drop shots. He doesn't kill me, or even hit me until AFTER he's prone. Did I fire a single shot? HELL no!
And it's like this for 2 days now! It's not an isolated thing. Especially thrilling is getting killed by a guy who is. not. there! At least, he doesn't appear until after you're dead. It's not my connection. It's running just fine. I'm wired. I'm always showing 4 bars. I'm just under 100 miles from Philly, and maybe 130 miles from NY. I ping each city at 35 and 50 ms respectively. So W...T...F?!?!
And yeah, Solar, Detroit and Greenband can all go screw a goat. Coolio could write a song about those maps. "We've been spending most our lives living in a camper's paradise!"

By the way, know what game actually had dedicated servers when they said they would? Take a guess.
Quake 2
