COD to English Dictionary
As most of you remember, the first three or four months playing COD2 multiplayer, aside from having your butt kicked by the experienced players, one of the most frustrating parts of the experience is the lack of familarity with the words and phrases that we now take for granted on here.
As a service to the new and/or foreign (english-as-a-second language) player I thought I'd put together a list of acronyms and COD-ishisms that we regularly hear on the servers.
So here is my COD to English Dictionary. Please post entries you have come across in the comments sections.
