Gaming Jargon

[Vault101]

You I just realized how much Jargon there is in the world of gaming, that some people wouldnt understand, heres all I can think of off the top of my head

RPG
MMO
RTS
FPS
Teabagging
Camping (I dont play online shooters so I actually dont know what this is)

you know I never heard ARPG much its usually action RPG

anyway can you think of more?

Camping (I dont play online shooters so I actually dont know what this is)

It's when you break the spirit of the game by taking up a position and waiting to ambush players, instead of running round trying to find them. Or something...people argue about this alot.

rofl no wai lol th4ts not 1337 ^_^

I shall read the Oxford dictionary in penance.

 

[Calcium]

Spawnpoint/Spawns perhaps?

Most of the jargon I can think of isn't jargon but just particular to certain or unique games; like Noobtubing or EV.

 

[DazZ.]

Gibbed.
Ganked.
Pwned.
Rushed.
AP.
AD.
AoE.
DoT.
Respec
DPS
Micro

All of those are used in multiple games so it's not like stickyjump for TF2. Although rocketjump/strafejump could be said to be gaming as they're in multiple games.

 

[Engarde]

An uncommon one most people I know seem to miss is Roguelike.

 

[Cogwheel]

Fighting game lingo STILL confuses me.

How bout Bunnyhopping. I mean some people might be able to guess it but some might not get it. Same goes for Loots, Drops or KDR to be honest. Also:

Gibbed.
Ganked.
AP.
AD.
DoT.
Respec
Micro

I have no clue what these are. I keep looking up Ganked but never really understand it. And I think AP is attack points and AD attack damage but I'm not sure. The last three I don't know (unless Respec is just Respect without the t).

"In most FPSs I prefer to rush with a high DPS loadout. Or I just take some nades and spawncamp like a noob. Does wonders for my KDR."

I wonder how many non-gamers would be able to interpret that.

In most first person shooters I prefer to rush with a high damage per second loadout. Or I just take some "grenades?" and hide in the spot where I keep reapearing and attack people like an amauture, does wonders for my somthing somthing rank

I tried Dont know how acurate I was : )

Gank is killing a player of lower level or power than you; commonly found in PvP in different MMOs. Respec is mostly a RPG term for redoing a talent tree.
