OK, so you like to run and a lot of action, camping is boring for you. Then you decided that, since that is boring for you then you would like everybody to play the way you do.
 
Good news, there are plenty of games, and in some camping is not an option, like starcraft, lol, or even maps in whatever game you are playing. Stop blaming campers for playing in a way they presumably enjoy and that pwns you, a way in which you get mad, so it ticks you off. Just play, have fun, and if you don't like then just switch to a different game. You rage you lose, enjoy the game, that's how you win, independently of whatever happens in the game, you win when you have fun in real life. End of story.
 
@mosdl: or grenades, grenades are great, or chainsaws, chainsaws as in gears of war, very funny, what about those critters in half life that would go running towards the people?, those should be in more games.

" Hello. I'd like some more followers. Not just for questing reasons... Throw your name in here if you'd like to get to know AND follow fellow bombers!   I now have lots of followers which is awesome! Thanks everyone!  "

let's get this done

" Yet another quest set that encourages spamming. "

For sure that makes for a good co-op, and when creating characters that are different for specialization and a richer gameplay gender may be very handy, but I couldn't help to notice that it is becoming a quite important trend and only in few cases it involves co-op gameplay. I wanted to link some games, that's why it is not a short notice in my profile...
 
Well, since this is a blog post let's try to analyze further. Why is this interesting? Why is it becoming a trend?

• Two is the minimum amount of people possible for the main character not to be alone and having some depth in the story. The minimum is a special number with a higher likelihood.
• It gives a good chance for co-op, which is not usually the case but contributes to statistics.
• Male and female are immediately recognized as different, covering a range of characteristics, them all according to the philosophy behind yin and yang and all that stuff.
• That also provides sexual tension, romanticism, allows to introduce some love background story without introducing a gay story.
• When stretched it covers way more games, like Zelda Ocarina of Time (Navy is female) but let's keep it in the most reasonable terms (actually I'm stretching it with Halo, but just a little bit, right?).

The depth in the gameplay in fable is in:
- Customization: dyes, clothes, stuff (as in the sims)
- Having a family, or three (it's quite hard, and then you have a black child, something went wrong...)
-  Buying some houses and decorating them.
- Socializing through the gestures system (and that get's a lot of relevance in fable iii)
- Sandbox gameplay.
- All this with swords, that you use only for fun, since attacks with swords may be blocked while bullets and magic cannot be blocked, can be dealt at distance and magic is extremely more powerful. The swords are there just for fun, sandbox gameplay.

Combat is symbolic and way too easy, and if you don't like it you can just skip it, raise deaths, run away, win, only a few enemies have to actually be killed.
 
Don't get me wrong, I like fable, I'm going through fable ii three times and I'll be getting fable iii, the game in general is quite cool and satisfactory, I play games in general for that (a story, like a movie) interactive, you get some action, some fake achievement porn,  and that's it. For challenges I could try to solve P != NP (or maybe that has already be solved, I think I won't have time to read the paper, specially wasting it in internet forums...), creating a compression algorithm, and a lot of stuff, this is something I do in my spare time for fun, and fable is special in the way it is, and very fun.
 
I'd also like to have a more serious approach, with dynamic classes, etc. Maybe mass effect or the force unleashed, dunno.

" Wait till Fable IIVXIIVVVIIIIIIXV "

let me guess... wrong board? two in a row?

Definitively you want something with great "replay" value and for that you want multi-player online. When is Guild Wars 2 released? Do you consider the three Starcraft ii releases as one single game?
