<div class="IPBDescription">A List (Contributions are welcome!)</div> I am a big fan of communication. Second to Teamwork, I believe good communication is the key to victory in NS.

For those of you who rely on text messages or have a fickle mic (Like mine) I thought it would be useful to create a list of basic acronyms I see being used online.

I thought some consistancy would be good.

Basic Acronyms:

*Added a few important contributions*

rgr = Roger
omw = On My Way
brb = Be Right Back
comm = Commander
cc = Command Console
wp = Waypoint
pg, phase = Phase Gate (or) pt = Portal
ip = Infantry Portal
rn/node = Resource Node
rt/rc = Resource Tower/Resource Collector


tf/fact/tfac = Turret Factory
ts = Turrets
sc = Siege Cannon
arms = Arms Lab
proto = Prototype Lab
jp/jet = Jet Pack
ha = Heavy Armour
lmg = Light Machine Gun
hmg = Heavy Machine Gun
gl = Grenade Launcher
tm = Trip Mines

oc = Offensive Chamber
dc = Defensive Chamber

nj = Nice Job
gg = Good Game

Feel free to add anything I missed.

    On that note, the light machine gun is lmg, and the heavy is hmg. Makes more sense that way.

    I figured the LMG and HMG is not worth differentiating because LMG is the default weapon. That is the VERY LEAST you should expect a Marine to have. HMG is significant but since I figure we don't need LMG I though MG without save you the extra letter. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    But yes,

    lmg = Light Machine Gun
    hmg = Heavy Machine Gun

    cc = "copy comm" or "click click" same as rgr. Used a lot from people coming from the flight sims or WWIIOL.

    Crap, I forgot lots of important ones!

    Thanks for the contributions guys!

    For the vets this is probably common knowledge but I thought it would be good for people who are newer to NS. Gotta think of them too!
