There is no dishonour in camping an objective. I'd say you were doing
a good job.

I (and I think most people) use the term Camping not to denote defending
(which you are doing), it's a term used for when the enemy sit just outside
a spawn point deliberately to kill newly spawning players. Campers have a
habit of not trying to take an objective, but instead to use it as an easy
way to rake up kills.

Yeah, I'm certainly not an XP whore, but I just thought some might
find what I do on that particular mission a bit annoying *shrug*

To be perfectly honest, I get very annoyed when the enemy start laying
down artillery fire on one particular spot. Just feel it makes the
game rather boring, although it's not against the "rules" (unless it's
on the spawn, of course.)

Thanks for the responses guys, I shall continue to deal death with my
MG with nary a flicker of remorse from now on!

To be perfectly honest, there is no "rule" about putting artillery on the
spawn, either. In fact, there are really no "rules" at all.
