As there was a thread earlier today with someone asking for the definitions of various terms used for the multiplayer I thought I'd start up a little compilation so people new to MP or those who just get confused sometimes by the terminology have a place to look them up.

The list is set so you have to be added as an editor by me to add entries on your own, just PM me with your Google log-in e-mail and I'll add you to the list.

Someone put it down in the thread I mentioned, I hadn't heard it before but I have a bad memory so it may or may not be a thing that exists.

I remember when I first came here on release and everyone was talking like "The GI w/ TC/PM combo w/ Claymore" I knew what the Claymore was, but the rest was gibberish to my nub mind lol.

 I just want to point out that Manguard should be Novaguard.
Wonder what a power called Man could do

Its another name. Think its called man because human.

[Xaijin]

And people are already ****ing with it and adding incorrect stuff.

Welp that didn't take long.

lol, KS just changed before my eyes to describe RNG. o.0

[RaptorSolutions]

Anyway, I would suggest adding a column "Notes" and "Aliases" or something. The notes could provide stuff like tidbits and Aliases would mention things like Manguard also known as Novaguard and vice versa.

Unfortunately this is true.

Damn, guess I'm going to have to restrict who can edit. If you want to edit the doc then just post the e-mail used to log into Google either in the thread or by PMing me if you don't want it public. I'll get as many as I can before I head to bed.

[tagamaynila]

No wonder I couldn't finish my entry for "Rez".

[Yuoaman]

Yeah, sorry, I didn't want things to escalate beyond some wrong entries so I shut down the free edit functionality quickly.

Also, Stun Lock.

Stun Lock means that a stunning attack has an intermission that is shorter than the stun period, leaving you unable to move.
You're practically re-stunned before the initial stun wears off.

edit: And CQC has nothing to do with melee. It just means combat of any kind in a confined space. Glacier, for example, is pretty much entirely CQC.

edit 2: To the mysterious editor of the doc: You just overwrote the Tank description with the second par tof the stunock description.

Alright guys, I need to head to bed now, if anyone has any interest in assisting with the doc just provide me with your Gmail or whatever you use to log in to Google services so I can add you as an editor. The list's a little chaotic right now, but it shouldn't take much to remove the repeated entries and the like... tomorrow at least.

Yeah, someone doesn't know how to properly edit documents, accidentally overwriting stuff in the process.
