Respawn camping

Respawn camping is computer gaming jargon for the practice in first-person shooters of ambushing (or "camping") near spots where the game revives human players ("respawns") after they have been killed, and then killing them before they have a chance to collect weaponry, or even get their bearings.

This is perceived as an annoying, unsporting practice.
