Howdy folks. Today I have an old-fashioned rant for you all to read. Bet you're thrilled eh?
But this rant isn't about any game in particular, just a particular type. In case you haven't guessed by the rant's title, I'm talking about online shooting games (and LAN games I suppose). But even then, I'm still not ranting about the games themselves, but rather the people that they attract. People like you and me. And others, not so like you and me. I'm sure everyone who reads this (yes, all one of you, fishdalf 
) has had some experience with online gaming in some way, shape or form. And I'm certain everyone has had their gameplay tactics badmouthed by at least one person. Let's start with a commonly thrown about term that practically everybody knows.
Camping: Ah, camping. The art of hiding away in a spot waiting for the opposition to wander by so you can blast their brains out. You'll hear this one screeched at you throughout any first-person shooting game, such as Counter-Strike, Battlefield: 1942 or Quake. Good camping spots include around your home flag (if you're playing Capture the Flag), an enemy's respawn area and if you're a terrorist in CS, then where the hostages are or where you plant the bomb. But camping is so forbidden in many circles of gaming that it would almost certainly result in a kick and/or ban if you do not come out of your hidey-hole when politely asked "OMFG STOP CAMPIN U FG!"
DTing: I recently encountered this term while playing GunBound. It seems DTing means 'Double-Teaming' which is another way of describing two teammates ganging up on a single opponent. Like camping, this is frowned upon (God help us if there's a TT or a QT). There's no exception to the rule. It doesn't matter if you were blasted down to an area that blocked off three of the four opponents, if you go for that one available enemy while someone else was still firing upon it... Then my God, you're a horrible, horrible person. Even your teammates would abandon you, as you 'stole their kill'.
Aimbots: Even if you play perfectly, that's not good enough. If you pull off a move that by all means should fail, but happens to hit, then it didn't happen because of skill or luck, but purely because you're using an aimbot. Even if you proved to be a no-hit wonder, if you get lucky once, then you're using an aimbot. There's no other way. Because after all, you're the n00b, while the one that got hit is a masta, a pro, the L33t of the L33t.
Now, I find all the above rubbish. Yes, I'm a camping, DTing aimbot. Well, maybe not the last one. But I do camp and DT. And I don't see anything wrong with that. I honestly don't. The aim of the game(s) is to win, not to be fair. You don't rack up Fairness Points for every camping spot you run by and don't use, or not firing upon someone that's already been targeted by someone else.
Now, if someone on my team, said something like 'dont dt, this ones mine' and there were other enemies about, then yeah, I would probably leave them alone. But otherwise, everyone's fair game. No matter how. I'm not that good at CS and the like, so if I see a way to attack while being pretty well defended/hidden, I'll take it. All's fair in love and war.
And speaking of war, I doubt there were sergeants running around the battlefield yelling at their soldiers, "FOR GOD'S SAKES, PRIVATE JOHNSON, DON'T SNIPE FROM UNDER THAT OVERTURNED JEEP! YOU TWO, STOP FIRING AT THE SAME ENEMY! HOW DO YOU EXPECT HIM TO FIGHT BOTH OF YOU AT ONCE? JOHNSON, I TOLD YOU TO STOP CAMPING YOU F-ARRRRGHH! DAMN AIMBOT!"
My Final Word: Games were made to be won, and I play to win. Fairness shouldn't be, and is not, an issue. Fairness is not shooting your teammates on purpose. It is not shooting from a place with no cover to hide behind because your opponent asked you to. You want to face me out in the open, find me before I find that place in your base no-one bothers to check because who in their right mind would hide in the opponent's base?
