Re: I just got "owned" in Single Player!

Internet history lesson...

Leet speek origniated way back when damn near everything had to be coded by hand. hackers would write comments in leet speek so that anyone who didn't know how to read it would assume it was just random characters without meaning.
pwned is simply a misspelling of owned. It was around long before WoW (most likely since quake).

Back on topic however;

Bots in Dragon Valley a terrible. I love playing that map because I can take the chopper and fly around raping all the flags :) If you're lucky you'll get a gunner who will shoot once in a blue moon, otherwise you'll probably end up flying solo.

Re: I just got "owned" in Single Player!

so then where did the word 1337 come from?

Origins of Leet or 1337 or whatever.

Origins of Leet

Leet finds its base in written communication over electronic media. Most simply, it has evolved as a way of forming exclusive cliques in on-line communities, notably Bulletin Board Systems and online multiplayer games (see Examples of Leet in videogaming).

The mechanism began simply: early online communication was quite slow, and people sought ways to shorten messages, so that they could be delivered more quickly.

Some wrongly believe that the origin involved using a dynamic cipher, so that only experienced users would be privy to the message. As a result, newcomers would be excluded from communication with those who had defined (and continued to evolve) the cipher.

Part of this is true. When modem use became widespread and a large general audience gained access to online communication systems, these new users did not understand the abbreviations commonly used by the experienced users. These experience users became known as "elite users", abbreviated as "leet".

Primitive Leet was generally much less elaborately substituted than modern forms. Typical transpositions included:

* f / ph ("fone phreaks")
* z / s (generally only in the final position, ie. "phi1ez" but not "za1ezman")
* 1 / l (usually only once in a word, ie. "1iar")
* c / k ("krap" as opposed to "crap", and "cill" in place of "kill")
* 0 / o ("n00b" instead of noob or newb, etc.)

For users of the Commodore 64 or the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, communities began to use PETSCII pictographic characters as letter substitutes. Over time these tendencies of replacing letters became increasingly exaggerated.

Another early phenomenon was the prefix "k-" (for kilo) to some words, the most common and enduring example being "k-rad". The roots of the term "k-rad" are most likely mocking of the mid- to late-1980s use of the term "radical" (compare "extreme" of the 1990s), which was itself abbreviated to "rad." V. was also used, as an abbreviation for very. This may have come from the v. in modem protocols, possibly via v.fast, although it's also a longstanding usage in British English so may have spilled over into American leet via increased international communication.

Also interesting to note is the group Stiff Little Fingers' use of what could be considered a form of Leet on their 1980 album Nobody's Heroes, thus:

Stiff Little Fingers logo rendered in a "leetish" typeface.

After the emergence of Leet on bulletin boards and other non-real-time communications media, Leet found a sort of renaissance in real-time protocols such as Internet Relay Chat (IRC) and Instant messaging (such as AIM). Some conflict can exist between those who use Leet in communication on such services, and those who do not.

Through this process, Leet acquired an increasingly expanding vocabulary. As Internet slang grew (such as w00t, teh#teh, and so on), it was absorbed into Leet (and subsequently enciphered). Along the way, additional languages began to be enciphered with Leet-like processes (see “krieg”, “ist” below). In this regard, Leet resembles a creole language, a pidgin, or mixed language.

In addition to the broader vocabulary, Leet's ciphers became more complex and dynamic. Where originally a one-to-one relationship existed between the source and cipher text (such as “E” → “3”), newer one-to-many and many-to-many ciphers began to emerge (such as “A” → “@”, “4”, and so on).

Several outside sources have been instrumental in the formation and evolution of Leet as a dialect or cipher. Primarily, the exclusive nature of enciphering text in communities drove the evolution of the cipher. Additionally, in online games where certain text was forbidden (such as swearing), newer, more clever ciphers had to be created to prevent software limitations from hindering communication. The same sort of evolution has been spurred by e-mail content filters which may prevent a user from including certain words in their “written” communication. As such, in add

Re: I just got "owned" in Single Player!

The word 'pwned' came from a script error in World of Warcraft. Its suppose to say "U got owned" but someone put a P, and it said "u got pwned." The word of our online culture is simply a spelling mistake. And an easy one too, since the P is right beside the O on your keyboard.

Yea, "pwned" pre-dates World of Warcraft.

Uh, Warcraft and World of Warcraft are many years apart, not to mention entirely different games. Hence my reply.

Re: I just got "owned" in Single Player!

A good one to do in Singleplayer is go to that little house behind Hotel on karkand with a SAW. Put it on 48 bots and they start coming up those stairs. Go prone at the top and put some ammo bags around you and just start mowing them down. Chuck a nade, reload and keep on going. So much fun. If only they had blood in this game...

When I was playing at Dalian Plant in single player I was in the middle of and field a sniper started running towards me with a knife. He was quite far away. So I shot him.

erm pwned was a widely used euthanism LONG before WOW. but yes it is a common spelling mistake which is why it stuck.

Re: I just got "owned" in Single Player!

i got knifed by a bot in single player once :/ to be fair i did mow like 6 of them down and was reloading.

slightly OTT, but have any of u been in the chopper with a bot? they act like all the n00bs from online servers, they dont use tv missiles and they shoot tanks with the cannon :laugh:. dont let them fly either, they just fly out of bounds and back again and never line u up to shoot anything lol.

i dunno when wow came out, but pwned was used alot in games of CS, back in like 99/00.

Re: I just got "owned" in Single Player!

I usually hate the term "owned", "pwned" or however you spell it. But I guess it's the perfect way to desscribe what happened :)

I was playing as USMC single player Karkand on easy setting, pretty much killing MEC soldiers like it was going out of fashion. As I was near the hotel flag I got killed from behind. I had a quick look on my screen to see how I died, and it showed that an MEC soldier had SHOCK PADDLED me! WTF?!?! I stopped playing after that...

They chase you around with Shock Paddles and Knives, don't be amazed it you get hit by one...
