Many campers rely largely on close-quarters ambushes, or "corner rushing", to take down their enemies. Popular places to corner-camp are sharp, blind corners, where a camper may hide with a powerful short-range weapon (such as the Gravity Hammer, Energy Sword, or Shotgun) and cut down anybody who turns the corner. Once a corner-camper's location has been determined, however, it is generally quite easy to take him out. The usual strategy for these situations is to throw a grenade into his hiding spot to kill him or at least flush him out. With the advent of ''[[Halo 3]]''<nowiki/>'s Mauler, which spawned rapidly and commonly on numerous [[multiplayer]] maps, corner-camping became a severe balance issue, so much so that [[Bungie]] decreased the number of Maulers in multiplayer. | Many campers rely largely on close-quarters ambushes, or "corner rushing", to take down their enemies.

Spawn camping is a tactic in which a player locates a series of Respawn Points inside of a specific map. The player will, during gameplay, camp with a power weapon in a position where they can kill opponents the moment they respawn.

The player will, during gameplay, camp with a power weapon in a position where they can kill opponents the moment they respawn. The victims of such a tactic are caught unprepared, ill-equipped and possessing only the default weapons, which are often no match for the powerful weapons wielded by the camper. Determined spawn campers that use a Sniper Rifle may even be able to headshot a victim within seconds of their respawning. | ||
The act of camping at a Respawn Point is spawn camping; the act of actually killing players that respawn at the point is spawnkilling. | The act of camping at a Respawn Point is spawn camping; the act of actually killing players that respawn at the point is spawnkilling. | ||
