Confused on a term? Are you new to the game and have trouble keeping up with our hip lingo? Look no further! Inspired by Voodoo's older Glossary thread somewhere deep in the forums, I'm making a list of commonly used acronyms associated with MW2. This is what I have so far:
Game Specific CQC/B - Close Quarters Combat/Battle CTF - Capture the Flag CoD - Call of Duty DEMO - Demolition DOM - Domination FFA - Free for All GW - Ground War HC - Hardcore HQ - Headquarters KDR - Kill to Death Ratio MW2 - Modern Warfare 2 Pub - Public SnD - Search and Destroy TDM - Team Deathmatch TI - Tactical Insertion WLR - Win to Loss Ratio Gun Specific ADS - Aim Down Sight AR - Assault Rifle DPS - Damage Per Second (damage * RPM / 60) FMJ - Full Metal Jacket HBS - Heartbeat Sensor HGS - Holographic Sight LMG - Light Machine Gun OHK - One Hit Kill (aka OSK) OSK - One Shot Kill ROF - Rate of Fire (originally called RPM) RPM - Rounds Per Minute RDS - Red Dot Sight SMG - Sub Machine Gun SR - Sniper Rifle Killstreak Specific CP - Care Package CG - Chopper Gunner EAD - Emergency Airdrop KS - Killstreak Perks CB - Cold Blooded DC - Danger Close OMA - One Man Army OMALOL - Infinite Tubes w/Danger Close Scav - Scavenger SA - Steady Aim SoH - Sleight of Hand SP - Stopping Power Misc/Forum Specific AFAIC - As Far as I'm Concerned AFAIK - As Far As I Know ATM - At the Moment Avy - Avatar (forum) BTW - By the Way CBA - Can't Be Arsed FFS - For F*ck's Sake FWIW - For What It's Worth GG - Good Game GTFO - Get the F*ck Out IIRC - If I Recall/Remember Correctly IRL - In Real Life IMO - In My Opinion ITT - In This Thread OP - Overpowered/Original Poster OT - On Topic PSN - Playstation Network Pub* - Pubstar QFT - Quote(d) for Truth SIG - Signature (Forum) TBH - To Be Honest TL;DR - Too long; Didn't Read XBL - Xbox Live Honorable Contributors: Voodoo, oneinchwunda, SgtJoo, N3V3R SL33P, chaR, Dante, Jdmc, GhostHands, JU57US, TheHunter360, fenny, Aero, BuuGh0st, Clutch and ABC. Note: If your contribution wasn't added, don't take it personal. Either it's not forum common, or not really an acronym. If I forgot any (probably), that are commonly used on this forum, please feel free to let me know. Then I (or the staff) can edit it in. You will be credited of course.

Yeah. But apparently CQC went mainstream somewhere between COD4 and MW2 and CQB got thrown in the drawer. Took me a bit to catch on.

Did I seriously forget the Perks section? LOL, my bad, I'm glad you added it. I had it down but I guess I forgot about putting it in. Brain fart anyone?
Keep in mind guys that this is for common acronyms. It's an abbreviation used for a word or phrase. |

It can be called either but I think CQB is the more correct term.
BG = Bad game KS also = Kill steal not an acronym but a lot of people say shotty for shotgun. Last edited by Requiem; 02-19-2010 at 11:51 PM. |
