Character »
A cutscene that is viewed through the eyes of the protagonist or some other character. POV stands for "point of view".
When the character the player is controlling dies as part of the game's plotline.
Being able to fire bullets in quick succession. In earlier video games, often acquired as a power-up.
Reloading is the action of replacing the ammunition magazine inside a gun. It adds a touch of realism to most modern shooters, and a certain amount of tension when a player is forced to reload while under fire.
Characters who speak with a Russian accent.
Many games feature a story which involves saving the world and its inhabitants, often single handedly.
A lead character who never says a word, despite being spoken to.
Any person that is in an Army.
The Special Air Service became the model for the modern special forces of any country during WWII.
Elite and specially trained/equipped military troops and law enforcement tasked with carrying out specific and dangerous/sensitive objectives beyond the remit of regular military personnel. Many games feature special forces operators or units as protagonists or enemies.
Using stealth often requires the player to accomplish their objective without being detected by enemies. Methods of detection can vary from game to game, and can be based on an enemy's line of sight, how quiet the player is, or even how the player interacts with the environment.
Stealth kills are special kills in video games that usually occur when the AI is not aware of the threat of the player.
Task Force 141 is the team you will be a part of in Modern Warfare 2 and is led by Capt. "Soap" MacTavish.
Anguish of body or mind. Can be used by authority figures to extract sensitive information that would not be given under normal circumstances.
Video games contain a lot of activities for players to do underwater, from exploration to combat. Sometimes games treat water as simple low gravity movement, while other games treat underwater more realistically.
Vehicular combat combines driving and combat to form a unique fast paced action game. Many games are purely vehicular combat based (e.g. Twisted Metal or Vigilante 8) or can contain have sections for such combat (e.g. Halo or Mass Effect).
War is a series of organized conflicts carried on by force of arms between two or more nations or groups. Whether it never changes or has already changed is up for debate.
Experienced soldiers that often feature as mentor characters.
A devastating future war in many game's narratives. Some games take place in a post-World War III setting where humanity struggles to live with the consequences of WWIII, while other games are centred around preventing global warfare from ever happening.
