The given name to a dynamic system that overlooks the progression and behavior of a player. It then changes the gameplay difficulty to either reward or punish the player accordingly.
Beezos are Shy Guys with insect-like wings mounted on their backs. They are armed with tridents and attacks by charging towards the player in a straight line.
Bullet Bills are enemies in the Mario franchise. They are one of the games' more challenging enemies.
A point within the game whereby the game saves its current state whether it be for the purpose of a more convenient respawn point or a gameplay design (such as in racing).
Counter-terrorists fight terrorists wherever they are found. These professional soldiers are highly disciplined and skilled in their profession.
An objective where players have to ward off enemies for a set duration.
Enemy Spawners are living or non-living entities that "spawn" enemies under special conditions. Usually, these Spawners must be destroyed in order to stop a never ending flow of hostile threats.
Spider-like parasitic animals from an unknown universe with amazing powers of genetic transformation. Introduced in the original Half-Life, headcrabs come in several varieties, all of which are incredibly dangerous to unsuspecting or unprepared humans.
A warlike civilization in the Killzone universe. Once human colonists on the planet Helghan, they faced hellish conditions that killed many; only those who adapted survived, later overthrowing the human government and taking control of Helghan.
Armed forces. The arm of government that deals with fighting wars and protecting a nation from external or internal threats
These are found in Doom II. They are similar to Cacodemons, except they shoot Lost Souls instead of ball lightning at the player. They are sometimes called Cacodads.
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.
A xenophobic, evil and totalitarian alien race who usually invade lots and lots of space Frances or space Russias. They normally have a Fuhrer type leader who wants to conquer the universe like Hitler.
The Special Air Service became the model for the modern special forces of any country during WWII.
Terrorists can be found terrorizing people all over the world of video games. While there is no consensus on how to define the term "terrorism", terrorists are generally considered to be people who express their ideals through violence.
"Every marine a rifleman" is one of the mottos of America's toughest fighting force. Tasked with projecting might through amphibious operations as well as acting as shock assault infantry, the Marines have taken on an added significance during the War on Terror.
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.
Lasting from 1939 to 1945, The second World War was a conflict between the Allies and the Axis. It was the most devastating conflict in human history.
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!
