This is in regards to the guy who asked about campers. What I say is that camping is not really against the rules or anything. Its not honourable, or very nice, but it is an effective method of killing enemies, and it happens in real life too.
When people get annoyed when I camp them, I tell them that if they are as good as they think they are, they would have killed me already. Usually campers work alone, typically against 4-5 enemies who spawn at the cp. The numerical odds are against the camper, but the surprise factor gives the camper an advantage.
However, as good as a camper might be, if the enemies coordinated, the camper would not stand a chance, especially if the enemies used smg's. Most campers I have seen use the Rifle, because of its ability to oneshot kill. If two people came at a rifle user with smg's, unless they were the worst AoS players ever, they would kill the rifleman with the superior RoF (Rate of Fire) that the smg possesses.
Basically, my advice is to either coordinate with your teammates, and/or use the death cam to spot where the camper is shooting from. You have to give campers credit, they survive behind enemy territory for long periods of time. It takes skill, or a good hiding place, to be a successful camper who takes at least ten kills before going down. Campers have a disadvantage of numbers, and that disadvantage can be utilised by smg users.
So really, you should not really have a problem unless there is more than one camper, in more than one location. Then you have a problem. But by using the deathcam, and your teammates experiences, you can quite easily beat campers, even if there is more than one of them.
One time I got pinned down by fire from 3 smg campers. I got killed, but i noted their positions, and when i respawned, i kicked their asses. And i am not even that good, well I am good, but no where near the best.
Here is one final bit of advice; Use your head, don't rush in trying to be the hero. You might take fewer kills, but your Kill/Death Ratio will be good.
