Well, in respect of campers, it's a strategy (that I don't like, but moving on). And there are some places and doings that are quite frustrating. Even for new players. Imagine you encountering this game for the first time, being all happy 'n' all; But the first server you enter there's 5 people camping as Mayday in shadowed places. And since most of the servers with people are LTKs, you're up to madness, angriness and sadness.

I think there's an expected learning curve with any FPS when it comes to figuring things out. While everyone reacts to frustration differently when learning a new game, for me, it's those campers you mentioned that help me in actually learning the level faster - somebody shooting me from the shadows or a protected position, and the desire to not have that repeated, makes me learn very quickly how to be successful in the level. Without that, you "learn" routes around the level differently, and then later on when someone does take advantage of those spots that you didn't previously consider, it's harder to "unlearn" your routine in the level. So, I think, while it's always frustrating, campers actually help new players figure out the danger points in a level (and where to hide when you're low on health) faster than they would otherwise, and help them be more cautious instead of running around spamming guns blazing.
