The debate over camping inCall of Dutyfeels about as old as time itself, with every new release bringing a new wave of complaints over people who hunker down in one spot, waiting for others to walk into their line of sight.
But here’s a hot take you wouldn’t expect: A few months back, Joe Rogan threw in his two cents on the matter, essentially stating that camping isn’t the absolute travesty people make it out to be. Honestly, it’s hard not to agree with him here.
Camping inCall of DutyIsn’t as Bad as People Make It Out to Be, and Joe Rogan Agrees
Now, let’s get one thing out of the way first: Camping isn’t going away anytime soon, for the allure of this sweet and frustrating tactic is a bit too strong for anyCODplayer to resist.
Love it or hate it, it’s effective—especially in modes where survival and strategy come into play, and it seems that Rogan also agrees with us here. Forinstance, inJoe Rogan Experience #2112with Dan Soder, he explained his stance on the matter, saying:
People get very mad at campers, but it’s a f*cking…look, you’re going to get mad at snipers in a war? Shut the f**k up, that’s the part of the war.
Putting aside the comparison betweenCall of Dutyand the realities of our own world, he isn’t exactly wrong here, is he? While it might feel far removed from the adrenaline-filled run-and-gun gameplay loop ofCOD, camping offers a tactical layer to the battlefield that some players are drawn to.
At its core, camping isn’t inherently wrong. Sure, it can be annoying when you’re the one falling prey to a well-timed ambush, and it’s most undoubtedly tedious when people spend entire matches holed up with claymores backing them up, but it’s alsoa crucial part of what makes this franchise so unpredictable and fun.

Let’s also not forget that, as much as we might want it to be,CODisn’t purely about honorable gunfights between people. It’s about outsmarting your opponent, whatever that looks like. So, while you may not enjoy campers lurking in every corner, things aren’t as black and white as they may seem at a glance.
Black Ops 6’s Multiplayer, Even With Its New Features, Has Campers in Spades
With every new title since 2019’sModern Warfare, the developers have tried to reduce the downsides of camping as much as possible, andBlack Ops 6hasn’t ignored it, either.
For instance, in an attempt to make matches more dynamic and give players more options to take on the opponents, Treyarch introduced the omni-movement system andreworked specific map layouts to limit predictable hiding spots.

At the end of the day, however, camping continues to find its way into multiplayer even with these changes. It has become a lot less rage-inducing for others, with the inclusion of more gameplay interactions and the inactivity timers, but like we said before, the allure of going prone is a little too strong inCOD.
All that is to say, camping isn’t just a habit to keep the K/D ratio healthy; for many, it’s simply a fun time. You don’t have to like it, but it’s clear to us that camping will always have its place on the battlefield.
But, with all that out of the way, what are your thoughts onBlack Ops 6’smultiplayer so far? Did you find any campers in your matches? Let us know in the comments below!
