Camping - Games

Camping in games often refers to a strategic playstyle where players hold defensive positions, typically in multiplayer shooters or survival titles, to control areas and ambush opponents. This tactic emphasizes patience, map knowledge, and resource management, but can be controversial for disrupting dynamic gameplay. Symbolically, it mirrors themes of survival, isolation, and tension in horror or adventure games, where setting up camp provides a temporary safe haven. Design-wise, camping mechanics encourage environmental interaction, such as building shelters or setting traps, adding depth to player choice and risk-reward dynamics.
