Empires Mod Jargon

BSID - Term often used to describe clan stacking or the clan, The Brenodi Sixth Infantry Division, which ensures a victory if they are on your team, or an immediate loss, if they are your enemy.


Lol.

 

Not many people use it, you are correct. I was just mostly shocked when I saw 2-3 people refering to it on a money game. (they were from this forum)

Sounds like On|E, Thor.

 

Oh god, please don't compare me to them. They are far worse with that kind of stuff than us. x.x

 

Heh. So you say.

Trenchwarfare/Turrettrenchwarfare
Using rows of walls and turrets to cover infantry and let them camp and advance towards the enemy.

Turrettrench
A wall with a turret next to it, behind which infantrymen camp.

FB
Term often used to describe a 1337 clan. Stands for "fabulous". Example of usage: "Your clan is so FB! "

 

oo, turretbunker!

The act of hiding behind your own turret while constructing it so nobody can shoot you.

(So far I've only seen myself use it though )

 

You're so FABULOUS!

It was a fad on the HL2.net forum :p

 

Are you serious? Almost every engineer I've seen does that! :confused:

 

Heh, I do that aswell, especially when a scout is shooting at me. I've noticed that the turret hitbox covers more than the turret itself, so you're pretty much safe (Granted that you keep the OPFOR in front of you at all times).

 

Talking about the terminology

 

Ah. Perhaps I will popularize it's usage a bit, then. :]

 

I usually use it when accompanied with less than friendly words u.u

 

Suiicide spawn. Killing yourself so you can spawn somewhere else in a hurry, this relinquishes a ticket but may save you the game.

 

Speaking of that I officially have kill bound to k.

 

Just "suicide".

 

Heh. I have K bound as my in-game push to talk. That'd be HILARIOUS if I bound it to kill as well.

"ENEM... WTF? I'm dead? Argh!"

 

Arty Whore - Unsportsmanship use of the artilery

 

i tell ppl to "deathport" all the time, but only mmo players know what i mean
arty needs to be on the list (yes, i actually played a game with a person who couldnt figure that one out).

and for the record, i use "rax" all the time.
also for the record (god forgive me for saying this) go back and read sgt.mikes post. he actually has a point, its just burried under his stupidity.

**edit**
death apc: apc (see above) with extensive armor, weapon, and (usually) engine upgrades.

 

This one is accurate. :p

 

Maybe not used much in this game as many others [especially Hidden: Source], but

8yo: A young person who has an annoying voice and will not shut up when told. (long version: 8 year old)

If this is only about factions or buildings nade spamming can include smokers [or something of the sort] inwhich a member of a team covers an area in smoke to prevent advancement due to lack of sight.
