UT Camping/No-Run style... in modern games?
UT Camping/No-Run style... in modern games?
Hey UT99.org community! I used to be a big fan of the UT99 mapping & modding space years ago, specifically the camping/sniping & no-run servers. I loved the pace of the game mode. Seeking out some good spots, doing a little sniping, chat a bit with fellow players while you wait for someone to come into the sights. Move a round a little and hope you don't get spotted while trying to get a better vantage point.
Are there any such games or communities with a similar play style in modern titles? I've played BF series (must push objectives), COD (way too twitch, conversation is limitedto trash talking), and some other modern shooters... but couldn't find anything with the same pace as 'camping/freestyle sniping'. Some games penalize for staying in one spot with the whole 'kill cam' replay.
I guess what I enjoyed the most was the asynchronous game play. You could be as active or inactive as you wanted and still do pretty well, make some friends, talk about funny stuff, and have some intense firefights here and there.
Thoughts?
THANKS!

Re: UT Camping/No-Run style... in modern games?
unfortunately, the logic of modern sniper games is much different than that found in UT99: the sniper camping gameplay is someway unique in its genre, it is arcade and tactical at the same time and the use of "non real items" on large maps (like teleports and translocator) makes it amazing
as Flay says, there are a lot of camping/freetyle sniper servers still online in Europe and USA, you can join them to live again the "good old times"

Sniper camper here from UT99. I've not found any other game that have the camping as the like of UT99.
Other than that, nice to see another camper visiting here, and nice to meet you.

Go find Sp00ney. He's always around somewhere and he's as good a guy as there is. He was a twitch streamer, you might start there? Anyway, he and LAA used to run a couple of Sniper Elite 2 servers that perfectly captured exactly what you want. I played the HELL out of them and it's very much like No R&G UT sniper servers used to be.
So long, and thanks for all the fish

I think because of a lot of users, people, that can make a map and want the same thing as you, is why it can't be duplicated nor as good.
AND all the mods made for sniping and weapons.
I am a hallway run and gun player, sitting around in huge maps just ain't for me.

Lol I did have a HUGH list of camping server/clan for UT99. Most of them are inactive though. Only a few active are remaining but not good as real camping.
