Camper

Camper

An individual who remains in one position for the majority of a match in a computer game is known as a camper. Taking on the role of a camper allows a player to pick off other players who come near them, without being spotted. It can also give an individual an advantage over other players because they can guard an item or objective point easier.

In-game example
In the computer game Quake, players may position themselves on a platform with the rail gun, allowing them to shoot other players without allowing those players to fight back. Usually, a player who camps too much is looked down upon by the other players.

VAC / Punkbuster / Gaming Terms / Account / Cheating / Valve

VAC

VAC, which stands for Valve Anti-Cheat, is a component of Valve's Steam computer gaming platform that attempts to prevent users from cheating while playing a game. It was first released in 2002 with the game Counter-Strike. By July 2014, it had banned over 2 million Steam accounts for attempting to cheat.

VAC scans the user's hardware and memory, and if it detects any errors that might give the player an advantage, it bans the user at a later date. It does not provide them with the time or date of the recorded infraction. The player is then prohibited from connecting to any VAC-protected servers for the game, and additional restrictions are placed on the user's Steam account.
