Main Information

Slang

The following terms are common gaming slang, to include Enemy Territory-specific phrases.

All-rounder A player who knows how to properly use all weapons/classes.
Arty Spamming, When a player continually applies artillery support onto an area, usually at spawn points.
Backrage or Backrape, Being killed by someone behind you. This then developed into the derivatives 'siderage' (killed from the side) and 'facerage'. The original derivation of rage is used interchangeably with 'owned' or 'raped' (for example, "If you're getting backraped, go prone!")
Beta Trash, A term used by North American players to describe weak players. The term comes from Team Warfare League.
Corner Camper, A player who leans around corners waiting from other players to approach. They remain invisible to their intended victim.
CP, Command Post.
Covert Covert Ops.
Covie Covert Ops
Engi Engineer.
Field Field Ops.
Fops Field Ops.
Gib, To severely destroy the opponent's body parts or fully kill them so they have no chance of being revived by a medic. It requires as much damage as the killing itself - typically 7 or 8 bullets from a submachine gun or two backstabs. If the body is gibbed by an explosive, there is no chance for a covert op to steal the uniform.
Grenade spammer A player, usually a engineer, who throws grenades at the same direction to stop the enemy, other slang is nade-spammer. NOTE: These are usually engineers who are loaded with 8 grenades.
h4x0r A player who uses hacks.
Hax, Hacks.
Med Medic
Mine Spammer A player with engineer class who deploys alot of landmines, this usaly happens on servers who have a lot of landmines.
Noob Stick, A mocking word used to describe rifle-grenades (and sometimes panzerfaust), usually by those opposed to the appearance and use of them in game. Other slangs for rifle-grenades are: R-nades, n00b-nades, rolfnade.
Noob Tube, Similar to Noob Stick, but applied to the panzerfaust. Often people say "stop noobing me" if they get killed by panzerfausts a lot in one game.
Panzer/Panzar Noob or Panzer sissy,Panzer Pussy,Pump Gun A player whose use of the panzerfaust is disapproved by the user of the word. Some people may call someone a panzernoob for exclusively using the panzerfaust, others may use the word if someone uses the panzerfaust in 'lame' ways, such as firing the panzerfaust at their feet if surrounded, or if the panzer-player can only manage one kill per shot. Different players have different ideas about what exactly constitutes lame usage of the panzerfaust. Some inexperienced players might even call very skilled Panzerfaust users panzernoobs, for example if they manage to kill four or more enemies with a single shot.
Proner / Pronestar, A player that uses the prone move excessively during combat. Many players feel this both looks stupid and is an exploit due to flawed hitboxes. The hitbox-issue is fixed by the etpro, etpub, and Jaymod mods.
Pub Star, Usually refers to a rambo medic who can get excellent results in terms of kill/death ratio on public servers (where the game is not well organized and most players play to get kills rather than to complete the objective), but is not necessairily a good player in games between two organized teams.
Rambo Medic, A player who plays the Medic class only for the self-healing benefit. This is often done by experienced players, if they feel that there is little potential for serious teamplay (because of the lack of skilled teammates, for example).
SC Spawn Camping, when a player stays around (or "camps") the enemy spawn or exit(s) from said spawn waiting to kill unsuspecting enemies.
SK Spawn Killing, when a player fires or throws a grenade or support fire into the spawn itself, intending to kill players as they spawn. Often viewed as cheap and dishonorable.
Self Killer A player who kills himself when losing a battle to prevent the enemy from getting experience or to maintain a relatively high kill/death ratio, since self-kills are not counted as deaths on some mods, though, some mods have modificated the game so that you would have to wait for 5 seconds after your last hit in order to decline the XP. Self kill is mostly used when it is 2 or 3 seconds left to the spawn. If you selfkill 2 or 3 seconds before spawn, you will spawn with full health and more ammo.
Shrugger, Refers to an exploit which manipulates the Hitboxes. The player model shrugs as though he has no ammo/med packs in battle.
TK Revive, When a medic kills his own team mate when below 60HP, so that when he revives with a needle they end up with more health then they had originally. It is useful as it does not use the charge bar, but does not give any experience (in most mods one actually loses XP). It is also typically faster than stopping to drop health packs, especially when there are several players waiting to be healed. This is used more effectively with the level 3 green needle as it fills the entire health bar. However, newer players may misinterpret this as a TK and lodge a complaint against the medic. Players may also lodge complaints if the medic chooses to TK Revive at inopportune moments, i.e. when the player is busy completing objectives or if the medic is killed before the player is revived.
Sol/Sold Soldier.
Tag A clan tag, clans on wolfenstein use tags(This also applies for other games, though) in their names to mark that they are in a clan(Like: =XXX=, |XXX|, -={XXX}=-, -XXX-, etc. being XXX the clan name or its acronym)
Trick Jump, or TJ, the event when a player jumps over one of the objectives in game. There are certain barriers within maps that can only be passed using dynamite or building, but by using trickjumps, more experienced players are able to clear them. The most well known trick jump is the Wall Jump in Siwa Oasis and the Roof Jump in Fuel Dump.
Uni, meaning enemy uniform that a covert op can steal to get access through enemy teamdoors and to distract enemies.
XP Whoring/Farming, A player who uses Classes that can gain experience points quickly, focusing only on the experience points. An example of this is using the Engineer class and only focusing on constructing and dynamiting secondary or tertiary objectives. Also used to refer to players who play for kills and ignore map objectives. One particularly annoying scene is when two players, one medic and one field-op, commit XP-whoring. This involves the medic shooting his teammate, reload (to pick up a pack of ammo from his 'victim'), and give out health packs to that field-op (Also Known as TeamBleeding). Usually this leads to a voting to kick those players off the server, as well as certain servers that auto-kick for extended team damage. (Note: This has been fixed by the new 2.60 patch.)
XP Save, A server that keeps your experience points and promotions even after the current campaign ends. Some servers will keep your experience even after you disconnect (the amount of time varies on each server).
SpawnRape when you kill players who have just spawned.
