A tactic found in First Person Shooters such as Left 4 Dead, where the characters bunch up in a corner with their weapons aimed outward in order to fend off enemies and preclude the possibility of being flanked.
Hostile marksmen who shoot people from a concealed place. Tactics and quick reflexes are often necessary in order to defeat them.
A style of play in multiplayer gaming with the purpose of annoying, irritating and angering other players.
Most modern shooting games add the realistic touch of rendering shots to the cranium instantly fatal. Glorious for the shooter, kind of a bummer to the shootee.
Kill Stealing involves a player killing another player's target in order to gain his or her "prize". These include loot, experience points, a point score, etc.
A respawn time forces the player to wait for a certain amount of time before they can re-enter a game and continue playing.
Rather than leaving each player to their own devices and deaths, some multiplayer modes pool the total number of lives or respawns that can be used among the entire team. Then the blaming starts.
Eliminating a target with a long-range rifle.
Spamming, in video games, refers to the rapid, repeated use of the same item or action. For instance, "grenade spamming" in COD4 is the act of a player throwing a large amount of grenades in succession into an area so that they may get a lucky kill or simply distract the enemy.
Sometimes, you want to play games with a real person who's sitting right next to you. These games have you covered.
