Crowd Control

Crowd control is the art of whittling down large groups of attacking enemies via the constant reassessment of the greatest threat to the player; achieved by constant player movement, and adjusting the aim to the closest threat, then quickly moving on to the next greatest threat, and so forth.

Concepts

Dungeon Crawling

Carefully exploring a large, labyrinthine area full of enemies (i.e., a dungeon) in the hopes of finding treasure, leveling up, or completing a specific task. Having their roots in tabletop games, video game dungeon crawls are found almost exclusively in RPGs.
Enchanters

Enchanters are spell casters that focus on the manipulation of the mind and deception.
Familiar Horde

A horde of allied creatures under the players control.
Horde Mode

"Horde" is a type of multiplayer game mode in which players battle co-operatively against increasingly difficult waves of computer-controlled enemies.
Pulling

Pulling is a popular tactic in MMOs where one player skillfully separates one NPC from a group and "pulls" them back to their group/raid, who are stationed in a safe area.
Strafing

Moving to the left or right without rotating the body axis. The technique, also called side-stepping, is useful in FPS games to avoid incoming fire without turning away from a target.
Swarming Enemies

Enemies that are small, deal relatively low damage, and have low health, but make up for it by attacking in large numbers. Examples include Flood infection forms from Halo, Trites from Doom 3, or Crawlers from Resistance: Fall of Man.
The Flood

A parasitic life form in the Halo universe, which serves as a secondary antagonist throughout the series. It has no known origin, though it is rumored to be extragalactic.
Zombie

Zombies, more accurately called the walking dead, are reanimated corpses who feed on the living, and have become a ubiquitous video game enemy. They often move slowly, but can be deadly in large numbers, which is unfortunately how they tend to travel. Shotgun time!
