Like a whole shit-ton of other people, I have been sucked into the awesomeness of Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer.  About 19 hours probably. (Not many games have the power over me to force me to play for more than 6 in two weeks.)
 
While playing I've been hearing comments from friends as well as others about one issue they believe is ruining the game. Camping.  Some defend it as a legit strategy, others condemn it as a cheap way for kills. This debate goes way back to the start of online gaming, but never have I seen it so popular now.
 
As for me, my opinion goes both ways. Obviously, in objective gametypes when you need to defend, camping is usually the best way to go. Its the smartest and most efficient way to defend the flag, capture point, demolition site, whatever it may be.
 
On the other hand, you have a gametype like Team Deathmatch. I've had games where people would hide in a window then 1 shot me with a sniper, or just hide somewhere in a corridor. Although this gets frustrating, I still try to take them out and usually succeed in doing so with grenades or my knife. However, it's the people that silence their Barret or put a heart beat sensor on it that really frustrate me. (Yo dawg we heard you like camping, so we put a radar on your gun so you can camp while you camp) Not only are you hiding, but you can see where I am. Why should I have to sacrifice a perk to be able to take you out?  I even ran into one instance where a camperwas camping another camper- LAME. Kill streaks don't help this much, as you just farm them to get a chopper gunner or AC-130.  These are pretty lame on the receiving end, as an AC-130 can kill you 2 or 3 times before you can actually leave the spawn.
 
Anyways, I still love the multiplayer. I wish a little more people would play run n' gun but hey, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. I was wondering how everyone here thought about this whole topic since it seems to be a popular issue in this game.  Feel free to agree or disagree and post your thoughts.
 

I always play with akimbo P90s, Marathon, and Lightweight so I'd say for me personally it is rather fast-paced.
 
Also, it takes advantage of campers expecting slow moving targets.

A bit slower paced. But its not only camping; the maps always have become a lot more bigger and wider. It often takes a few seconds of running around the map to even get the first kill.

Some people choose to run out and fight, while others prefer to stay put. Both are fine. If you get killed by someones who's camping then they loose the advantage since you know where they are now and can sneak up and kill them next time. Some people have to camp like snipers, and if your playing an objective game like CTF then you need some people on each team to camp at the flag to defend it. In everyone fps there will be campers, it's just the way the game is, so either find a way to get around them, or become one.

I started playing COD4 again, and it's a lot more fun in my opinion.  Also, dedicated servers are a big plus.

I never get the hate campers thing. Also, yeah, the new maps suck in major.

i don't hate campers in MW2 because the STUPID BAD design of the maps promote camping...

The camping thing is an issue mostly because there's so much more to camp behind. Meaning, there's so much more detail in the levels (trees, half walls, barrels, cars, hills, rocks, planes, windows...) that there's much much more opportunity TO camp.

i think that it is faster just they put more areas to camp at.

it's not slower pace
the maps are just bigger
but they kept the player cap to the same size as it was in MW1
play in Ground War, alot of action.

Isn't that why kill cam is in the game?  So that campers won't be so incredibly successful.  Every time a camper takes me out I just watch the kill cam and go kill him right back.
