Hiding out at respawn point and killing people as they resurrect is known as camping, in cod it might just be staying in any one spot?

In a number of games that "just be staying in any one spot" suffices as a description of 'camping'.
Usually it's to control access to an especially powerful weapon, or an ideal sniping spot, possibly with the perfect sniper weapon re-spawning next to you, or as you suggest a player resurrection point.

Call of Duty + camping gear.

Kids who camp to get kills.
Ah! I get it now!

Quite good...

hehe
If it needs explaining...it's not a good joke.

And are you THAT shocked that not everyone in the lounge understands on line gaming in-jokes?

It is for me.

I often need things explaining to me, like why you posted the comment above?

A joke is a bit like a kitten. If you have to dissect it to see how it works it loses its appeal.

I felt the need to post that because there appear to be people making fun of people for not getting a joke - when in the wider world (and the lounge is as close at pistonheads gets to that) the subject matter is pretty niche.

That and as a rule of thumb, if it needs explaining...it's not a good joke

Well, it's not that great of a joke firstly, but the delivery and reaction is kind of like mumbling a joke under your breath (tiny picture, can't figure out what's on the shelves) and then sighing loudly when someone asks you again because they haven't heard.

Shortly before huffing, and flouncing off tutting ''it would have been funnier the first time...''.

Have you ever heard a joke that everyone finds funny? Doesn't mean it's not funny if it's something you don't get - just means it's not for everyone - the same as pretty much any joke in practice.

This is a real stand at my work just now and only a few get the joke.
Those few, those happy few. Those band of brothers.
For all that get this joke with you shall be your brother.
Be he ne'er so vile, this joke shall gentle his condition.
And users on Pistonheads now perplexed.
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks,
That thought with you, this was a joke.

I don't get it for various reasons.

Irony is usually lost on me.
The pic is crap despite me blowing up to 400%I have no idea what's on the shelves.
I'm not very bright.

Where's the OP to supply the hilarious answer ?

And why does a video game come in such a huge box,it's the size of a CD/DVD.

I'm not.

I've never played COD. Thinking about it, I haven't played a computer game since the Sega Dreamcast was cutting edge.

It's fine. It just belongs on the geek joke thread, instead of a thread of its own.

Thank you for clarifying.
