Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is especially popular among younger players who jump a lot, slide, and never stand still. However, there are also some older players who enjoy this shooter. In order to keep up with the young jumpers, a 53-year-old player explains, they have to resort to an unpopular strategy.
What strategy is being referred to? A player spoke in the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 subreddit about the so-called “camping” – that is, staying in a ideally hard-to-see position to secure kills.
Camping is unpopular among many gamers and has driven more than one CoD player to scream. The so-called campers often achieve their kills from behind or at long distance with a sniper rifle.
For the player in the BO6 subreddit, this is the only way she can play Call of Duty (successfully).
Camper must compensate for poor reflexes
Why can the player only play with this strategy? The player explains that she is a camper and is not ashamed to admit it. She is 53 years old and no longer has good reflexes (via Reddit).
To compensate for her deteriorating reflexes with age, she has to play strategically – and camping is a valid strategy for her to stay alive and get a few kills. Also, she enjoys camping and concludes: “There is no law that prevents me from camping. If you are all that good, come and get me.”
However, there are also some older players who write that they still prefer to run over the maps, slide a lot, jump, and generally play more aggressively.
Is camping really a valid strategy? As many Reddit users also write in the comments of the post, that depends on the type of camping. You can hold strategically important positions or the objectives and thus help the team with capturing and defending the objectives, or sit at the edge of the map and completely ignore the objectives.
The player from the Reddit post explains in a comment that she does not stay at one position all the time and adjusts her playstyle depending on the course of the match: If her team is winning, she plays more defensively and holds important positions; if her team is losing, she assists in capturing the objectives.
In general, holding so-called power positions is a strategy that even better players use. It is important to predict the spawn and movement direction of the opponents correctly and to position oneself accordingly. However, this is only semi-successful if your opponents are cheating: Former Call of Duty developer explains why the biggest problem with Black Ops 6 is worse than ever before
