Some cooperative games let the players pick up and toss each other around. Sometimes this serves a purpose, like killing an enemy or leap over a gap but most of the time it just serves as an aspiration to great assholery.
An age-old, widely-hated strategy in multiplayer games: stay in one spot and kill passers-by. Also refers to a more benign activity in MMOs.
Cheating is the act of creating an advantage by using methods beyond the normal means of the game.
Games where you cooperate with other players to accomplish certain goals, yet at the same time compete for power (items) and glory (wealth).
In many games that feature team-based competition, "Friendly Fire" is the ability shoot or somehow directly impair ones own teammates.
This happens in many games when you get killed with the lowest category weapon.
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.
Player versus Player, commonly abbreviated as PvP, is a gaming term that originated in MMOs to refer to gameplay in which players fight against other player controlled characters.
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.
User-made image files that can be tagged on walls in-game.
Whether with a button press or menu, taunts destroy friendships and can even make the computer go crazy.
Also known as corpse-humping, tea-bagging is a slang term in video games when after a player has slain another player or NPC, they move their character over the dead character's body and crouch up and down repeatedly, adding a humiliating, and often humorous, factor to the character's death.
The act of killing a fellow teammate in a game, to boost score or just for fun. This often results in being booted from games, and several games allow the server to do this automatically.
