Camping is to play in Multiplayer games, get to a corner and wait to enemies until they pass and get a easy kill having the opponent no chance of surviving.
It is considered completely legit gaming at any point, but for the players its annoying due the lack of skill or difficulty that takes to camp.
This is a more frequent phenomenon in Call of Duty game series, because of their remarkably small maps and young age players.
It is being related to overpowered weapons and the use of silencers who make it impossible to spot campers because when they shoot there is no sight of position of the player.
The most frequent camping victims are rushers.
Rushers are players who keep on movement permanently through the whole game killing every player on sight, this moving property makes them an easy target for campers because they cant see them. Rushing is also likely to be called Run n Gun .
Camping is also present in Battlefield game series, but called as ``Stationary Engagement´´. The difference between both is that players use sniper for frontal cover and not as self protection, it also happens when both teams are stuck between a target (Defenders and Attackers) and they have no option to take cover and try to eliminate hostiles and proceed when possible.
