While taking a few "subtle" jabs at the competition, Sledgehammer Game's Michael Condrey feels that Modern Warfare 3 has made sniping, and in turn camping, more difficult to do than in previous entries.
"I think that the person who plays the sniper on a team can have a ton of fun, but one of the biggest criticisms you always hear about is campers, right? We don't want to emphasize that dynamic so much that the other people in the engagement aren't having fun," Condrey said to OXM (via Eurogamer).
Condrey adds that maps in Modern Warfare 3 have less verticality, and therefore less areas for camping. This leaves snipers to have to hang in the back in order to pick people off. However, this only sounds worse than it really is.
"Unlike other games, where you're going to be sniped from across the map by a guy you can't even see, and then respawn and you've got to run for five minutes to get back to the battle, right? That's not the Modern Warfare 3 method. This is about getting you in the action, you're pulling the trigger fast, you know what I mean? That's the essence of it."
With Modern Warfare 3 currently out, we'll find out in due time whether or not pesky campers plague the game.
