View Full Version : Attention gamers:
When you start a thread about your game you want to discuss please don't just say the acronym such as AC2 for example. at least once in your first post please WRITE IT OUT for those of us that don't eat sleep and breathe the game you are referring to.
I see it all the time here and it really annoys me cause half the time i don't know what game is being discussed.
That is all :)

That really annoys me too. I didnt know what RTCW stood for and saw lots of posts for it lol (its return to castle wolfenstien for those who dont know). But i admit I have been guilty of doing this :D.

Haha, good point Maxvla, I don't know what people are talking about a lot of the time :D
games like UT, UT2k3, CS are probably ok.
but games like MOHAA or whatever... i still don't know what game that is :confused:

LOL what is JM2C?
Maybe thee can just be a sticky that no one is allowed to post in, and the mods just update a list of aconyms.
Of course its easier on everyone, if people just take the extra second to type the name out.

Yeah just put a sticky up with all the acronyms.
Asking people to type out the names, even in just the title, is asking too much from most people these days. We have been overrun by IM lingo and can't part with our acronyms. Some if it is justified, I mean I would never want to type out "Medal of Honor Allied Assault"... (ouch, that was painful) when I can just type MOHAA.

Careful there I always refered AOE to Aces over Europe. AotP was Aces of the Pacific, two fantastic flight sims from the mid '90's I think. Age of Empires maybe more popular now but the Aces series is a classic. Don't forget, some of them are old though:
AotD.................................Aces of the Deep
SH2..................................Silent Hunter 2
Il-2...................................Il-2 Sturmovik
CCx....................................Close Combat x=1 through 5
WF/EF/EF2........................West Front/East Front/East Front 2
PG(original), 2 and/or 3... Panzer General
FG.....................................Fantasy General
AG.....................................Allied General
SG....................................Star General
GNB..................................Great Naval Battles 1 through 4
CM:BO.............................Combat Missions: Beyond Overlord
CM:BB.............................. " " : Barbarossa to Berlin
MC...................................Mechcommander 1&2
RA....................................Red Alert, don't know all the add on and stuff though

A sticky with all computer game acronyms and their meaning is a great idea. Maybe include forum acronym geek talk too.:D There are a few I'm still trying to figure out.:beer:
HIBTC - Honey I Blew The Chip :D

I still have my copies of Aces of the Pacific and Aces over Europe...
Too bad they wont run anymore.
I am still trying to find a copy of an old Seirra game called Seige.
It was a castle seige game that was fun as hell cause you could set up any army type you wanted.
