Unreal Tournament 2004/Terminology

The large variety of terms and vocabulary found in a typical FPS game, such as Unreal Tournament 2004 tends to confuse newbies. This section deals with all terms found in the game.

Frag
A point. Awarded for diffrent things depending on which style server you are on. For example a frag in DM (death match) would be awarded for killing anyone else. In Team DM it would be awarded for killing an opponent on the opposite team. In CTF (Capture The Flag) it would be awarded for killing a member of the opposite team or for capturing the opponents flag. Frags are the method of keeping individual scores in Unreal Tournament 2004.

Spawn
When something enters the map. A player spawn, or a weapon spawn, or a vehicle spawn, etc. Where those things spawn is called a spawn point.

Suicide
Killing yourself. Either by jumping into something that kills you (lava, acid, off into space), by shooting yourself or getting hit by your own weapons blast, or by typing /suicide into the console.

Head-to-Head
Head to Head refers to one person against another person (or bot). Also called 1 on 1.

Camper
A person who stays in one spot for whatever reason. A person who stays at the opponents spawn points and kills them as they enter the map would be a spawn camper. A person who gaurds his or her own base/flag/power core would be a camper. Also a person who stays in one place and uses sniper weapons to kill thier enemies would also be called a camper. Generally used as a term of derision, although in most cases it is simply a matter of good defense. The opposite of camping would be "Running & Gunning".
