Nope. If you are sitting in the corner of a room waiting for someone to walk by then you are a camper. Defending a choke point or holding a building down is not necessarily camping.

It's harder, but harder to beat as well; you're never too sure where he is or where he's looking. Usually you can blast a camper into submission; aggressively defensive (?) players will give ground, or jump you, or wait till you the turn the next corner, or even set up at the corner before if they really wanna fuck with you.
That's what I thought. But they can't tell that when I'm throwing them out of my Castle. Funny part was that if they had rushed me faster, I mightn't have been able to keep up. But they file in, one at a time, right in front of the claymore... which means I get EADs for the team. 8-)
The RPD is everything you'd ever want in a gun: great damage per bullet; decent rate of fire; moderately low recoil; naturally high penetration; amazing ammo capacity, and probably the best, most open and unobstructed iron sights in the game. It's negatives? Let's take a look:
Slow Aim Down Sights: Can be mitigated by Sleight of Hand Pro, which you're probably already using because ...
9.7 Second Reload Time (Empty and Normal): Obviously, Sleight of Hand cuts that number in half. I've had a lot of success lately using One Man Army Pro, personally, because by swapping back into the same class, I can fully reload my weapon in 3-4 seconds, which is potentially even faster than Sleight of Hand and I get all my equipment and ammo back. Yes, it's retarded.
Bad Mobility: Not the end of the world. Sure, you won't be running any marathons while you're haulin' that Raging Porn Demon around, but that's not how you use it. Dig yourself into an overwatch position and rake the kills in. Be sure to protect your back with some Claymores or something because the RPD doesn't shine at short range.
So the positives are amazing and the negatives can be largely ignored. Yes, the RPD is an absolute beast of a weapon.
another thing about reloading the RPD, you only need to do it one or twice ever, so plan ahead and you will be fine.
and the rpd will punch thru things you never expect, it's hilarious that way. Your enemies don't get cover, they just take an extra bullet or 2.
Fuck Sleight of Hand. You have to reload maybe once per life. You have enough ammunition in that thing to get a nuke without using killstreaks, for fuck's sake.
Use Bling. RPD+Grip+FMJ=Kills. It's scientifically proven. You can just aim in a direction, and the bullets will go from end to end on the map. Buildings, cars, M1A1 tanks, nothing can stop the bullet hose.
I may be exaggerating just a little.
Just make sure you're in a position where you can grab some cover to reload, and try to stay behind your team (to keep enemies away).

Oh man, I got into it with some douchebags tonight over this. Doesn't help that I got the game winning killcam, and decided to joke about how "kills were falling from the sky"...basically I was walking under one of the windows on Skidrow (by the boxes), heard some dude moving around in the building above, stopped for a second, heard him coming out, so waited for him to drop down in front of me then ventilated him.
So, after my little joke cue them bitching about how I should bring a tent next time and blah blah blah. To which I explained that I was moving around just fine, and that I only stopped because I heard them running around upstairs with like chickens with their heads cut off. Then I suggested that the reason they lost (by like 3000 points) was because they just needed to sprint more. Sprinter harder. Maybe use Marathon, Lightweight, and Commando. And for the love of god, never stop sprinting.
It pretty much ended with them belting out a chorus of "GAY!!" and "FAG!!" Ah, Live....you never fail to deliver.
I do feel like I "camp" sometimes. I don't set up shop and wait forever in a high traffic area, or anything. But with my headset I can usually hear dudes pretty far out, at which point my first instinct is always to stop, follow the sound as they come towards me, then nail them when they come around a corner/obstacle/whatever. On the killcam it probably looks like I was sitting there forever, even though I wasn't.
But seriously, dumbasses, either crouch, use Ninja Pro, or at least don't sprint everywhere you're going. I can hear you from across the map when you do that.

SoH is a must-have for me, mainly because the time shaved off reloading and ADS are a godsend with my 1-2 bar connection. Anything else is too slow for me.

I use it a lot too, don't get me wrong. Mostly for the ADS boost, but also on ARs and SMGs for the reload boost (I generally reload after every engagement).
On the LMG, though, I don't reload that often and honestly I'm engaging at ranges that make the ADS boost less necessary. Sure, it would be nice...but being able to add FMJ to the Grip on the RPD is worth the loss.

I want SoH on an RPD. Hipfire suxx. ADS takes three hours.
Any of the other ones can do it pretty well though, so the M240 is a bling gun.

Fair enough. I guess the other thing which compels me to keep it on most of my classes is that my secondaries include an Ext Mags Striker, Grip M10 and a Stinger (the latter for shooting stuff down faster, I don't normally stay in my AA class long enough to use Scavenger).
It was cool watching that hacker switch from his UMP to his G18's and finally to his sniper rifle to auto-aim me. I normally dont watch killcams ever because it just makes me shake my head but it was interesting watching the whole hacking thing play out. I also liked his smug response when we called him out on it, which was "Yea I do it, so what?".
Really kid? Good games though I enjoy playing with you folk even if i'm screaming half the time. I promise there is some ounce of fun i'm having during the matches.
Just watched a killcam of a guy who was able to see through the walls and saw me coming. Why do some fuckers insist on ruining games by finding ways to cheat them? It's lame.

I use SoH for my Anti Air class as well, if you are fast, you can take down an AC130 in 2 shots (before it reloads its flares or whatever, it works - most of the time.)

I love aggressive defense on Salvage in Domination. It's practically impossible to get back B and C if you play it right.
You know, I'm actually starting to like Quickscopers. Killing them that is.
You know on Quarry S&D where the attacking team rushes to that ledge overlooking the crane to quickscope the other team as they run away from the spawn? Killed the entire team with a Vector class from behind as they stood up there. The killcam was hilarious.
Experimenting a bit it seems that reliable counters to quickscopers are either SMG/Shotgun classes to flank with, or an RPD.
As a fix I'd suggest removing auto-aim from scoped sniper rifles until it has been scoped for a half asecond or so. Or something like how TF2 handles sniping with a charging bar when zoomed.
Ever since I've been trying to get a nuke I've lost my mojo. It's not fun anymore but goddamit all the cool kids get nukes. I'm an achievement whore.
I've tried SPASing it up, I've tried claymores everywhere, I've tried sniping/LMGing from the back. Nothing works. There's always some bastard right where (and when) I don't want him.
Domination and they were on a third team. The Spectators. But they were moving around and killing us just the same as we were killing them except they had aimbots. And the opposing team was just going along with them trapping us in our spawn and obliterating us. Or at least they would have if I hadn't left. Fuck that noise. Glad that isn't an everday occurence.
Blinged akimbo P90s with rapid fire sound glorious. They are my new favorite weapon to use when I get aggravated and just need to run around being silly.

I just had a fun few games, was playing pubs with a friend and this one random dude would flip whenever someone got an emergency drop. My friend, on the opposite team of this guy, gets about 4 in short order. Cue angry pm's in the 'homo hacker' vein. Then I get one, playing on his team, and about 2 seconds after calling it in, before anything has hit the ground, there's a message in my inbox. Apparently I'm a bitchboy. Dude had mad fast ps3 typing skills.
If you are expecting anyone else on the planet to make a comparable video to Sandy Ravage, I want a puff of what you are smoking heh.
Seriously I have my doubts ravage is even human ( had a chick commentate his video's for a while, probably to throw people off the trail that he's from Skynet.)

I didnt even know he was a good player, I just loved him for those Booster Justice video's (which were short duration clips) and are my absolute favorite MW2 related movies.
I just got the Aug Hbar back, even though the RPD shouldnt be that bad compared, its a vast improvement, even the first round I used it, where it didnt have any extra stuff on, not even grip, I went 10/1 kd ratio, it must be a mental thing.
Edit: A question for Dubs, what is the deal with that crown icon you have in your gamertag ? I see it on almost all the people trying to sell me 10th Prestige Lobbies and shit (not that I think you do that) but what the hell is it about ?
