[WARNING: You are about to write an extremely whiny rant. Brace yourself!]
You reload your M4. You look down the sights. No enemies anywhere. You walk down the corridor. Boom. You died. A camper has struck again.
I'm sure you have encountered this; campers have been running rampant in MW2. These people care more about getting points than playing the game. And yes, although it seems a bit bold of me to say it, but there IS a wrong way to play Modern Warfare 2, and camping is NOT a legitimate strategy.
Don't get me wrong, Modern Warfare 2 is a good game. A great game, even. I've told myself many times to persevere, but these people are making it very hard to enjoy this otherwise brilliant title. The fact that they can use weapons that kill you in one shot (FAMAS, Intervention, etc.) doesn't help either. Before you flame, think about it: Doesn't it piss you off when the same person kills you two or three times before you finally kill him because he's sniping you from afar? Doesn't it piss you off when you go 30-50 seconds without seeing an enemy because they're all hiding around corners? It should.
We didn't have this problem with CoD4, I don't see why this problem has grown so out of hand. I am sorry to say that the shining quality of this great game is being dulled by it's awful community. We SHOULD persevere and show these campers whose boss, but it's becoming extremely frustrating. So, can a community kill a game? Maybe. I sure hope not.

It seems like you've found out the core proponent of the series, and don't want to admit that killstreaks encourage camping.
You can:
1) Sell the game
2) Tactically camp
It's up to you! Camping is very easy to counter, with Semtex, flashbangs, Knife/Speed builds, and sniping, by the way, forcing you to move camping spots a lot: hence, tactical camping!
Luckily on PS3, those jerks don't have the money to get a decent headset, so you're not as bothered by them...
and yes, Camping sucks like hell, but as said before it is hugely encouraged in MW due to the killstreak-rewards...
For example, spawn camping is a total douchebag move. While sniper camping in one spot is tactical because you also get the risk of getting shot by another sniper easily.

Sorry for double comment.
Yea, spawn camping is awful: I haven't seen that yet though.
Also, killcams are pretty common place. With team work and good strategy, campers do so at their own great risk, I reckon.
This from a guy that never broke 20 in COD4, though.
Plus, with time most people who use exploits like that will move on to the next FPS that's released with any sort of hype.
