Larofeticus · December 2002

yeah some of those are common, but others i've never heard of, sounds like the guy is trying to set the jargon instead of record it

I think people should say BMU when they want a phase. I'll give whoever can guess what that acronym means a cookie.

Lol... Heavy Armor Marines = HAM

Yummy... ham... tells you how vulnerable "HAMs" are as a quick skulk snack.

CC stands for Command Console not Center

Doombringer · December 2002

CC = Command Chair. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'>

I've also seen "CC" used as "Comp Core" in the map that has the Computer Core. Most hive abbreviations are "vent hive" "maint" "eclipse" "engine" "feedwater" "refinery" "unnamed" "viaduct" "silo" or "powersilo" "cargo" ... all depends on the map. Duh.

Some locations are "loop" "horseshoe".. etc. But I've never seen some of the strange ones on that list. BNWD? HC?

The only acronyms I really see are "TF" "HMG" "GL" "JP" "IP" "RT" and the chamber acronyms. Personally, phase for me is "phase" or "gate", shotgun is "shottie" or.. gasp.. "shotgun" .. siege turret is "siege" .. these don't take too long to type, folks.

Nothing overly complicated :/ Wish my voice comm was more reliable.

uranium_235 · December 2002

If you use acronyms you're just asking to loose. Avoid confusion and spend two seconds to say it. If you're typing and an alien comes, he would've killed you anyway.

Visser · December 2002

Most of those were <span style='color:blue'>Be nice.</span>, made up, or not what people actually use

I've actually heard people call the unnammed hive "Mother", and I'm fairly sure that was it's name. Oh, if it matters, 'turrents' are 'turrets'. Just thought I'd clear that up.

scioskulk · December 2002

I can't believe they left out 'hamgee' -- heavy-armored, heavy machine gun weilding marine.

DArtagnan · December 2002

Is WM (weld me) in frequent use? Because that's about the only semi-useful thing on the list in my opinion. Too often the rules of politeness have me saying "StanleyPwnz, can you weld me at South Loop please?" ten times in row... a few "WM" spams aught to do the trick, but only if Stanley and his buddies know the acronym...

xect · December 2002

I didnt even bother to read the list, but from the replys, it seems the guys wants to make his own jargon, and that seriously sucks, since half the community will never learn it. Jargon should never EVER be made an official thing, because then it immidiately loses the effects of the people using it. People say WoL because thats what they've always done, not because someone told them to.

Just_Ayane · December 2002

lol looks like im the only one who thinks its usefull <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'> i'de rather type build DC instead of build a defensive chamber.

Fam · December 2002

Unnamed hive = Mother hive

Please use its correct name.

CrawlingInMySkin · December 2002

Is it a bug or something that the hive has no name?

Trikk · December 2002

Unnamed hive = Noname or NN

YOU ARE ALL WORNG!!

Zergling · December 2002

yes its a bug and its name is mother. but most people call it noname so just wait for 1.1 and you can see if im telling the truth. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/siege.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='siege.gif'> <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/pudgy.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='pudgy.gif'> <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='mad.gif'>

PappaBoeg · December 2002

Those abbreviations probably only works around people you play with alot, like your clan. On public servers I usually go for more self-explainatory shorts like "need def chams" and such. It gets you what you need a whole lot faster than having to retype everything without abbreviations, because your team don't know WTF you're talking about. Also, you can't really expect a n00b, who barely even knows how to play, to know "hardcore" NS-slang. Keep it simple, people. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'>
