So, I a lot of times I end up clueless about what some people are talkng about due to the use of so many terms, abbreviations, etc. So I'm thinking if there is a topic with definitions to all of the terms used on this forum, it would make it a whole lot easier on the new members to understand other's posts and conversation. So basically reply and add the terms that you know of and I will update this topic whenever I come on the forum. Would be nice to have this stickied too. So I'll start off with a few:
BATTLEFIELD SLANG
AA - Anti Air/Anti-Aliasing
AA - When used on the forum also sometimes refers to the online game America's Army
AF - Anisoptropic Filtering (property of being directionally dependant)
Arty - Short form of artillery.
AT - Anti Tank
Base Rape - Attacking an enemy base (usually an uncappable one) unrelentingly.
BF - Battlefield
BH - Blackhawk (USA transport helicopter)
Camper - A player who stays in a location where he is hardly noticable in order to rack up kills
CAP - Combat Air Patrol. Basicly focusing air forces over a particular part of the map
Cap - Refers to capturing a flag
Clock Positions: Stating "Tank 3 o'clock" means "Tank 90degrees to your right" or "Sniper 11 o'clock" means "Sniper ahead and little to the left" Think of the clock as directions. Must make these references in relation to the person to whom you are speaking.
Core Game - See "Vanilla"
CQB - Close-Quarters Battle
CQC - Close-Quarters Combat (at very short ranges)
Bunny Hopper - An individual who repeatedly jumps in the upright position while in combat with another player
DC - Desert Combat (Battlefield 1942 mod which inspired BF2)

FF - Friendly Fire
FH - Forgotten Hope mod
GG - Good game
GL - Grenade Launcher
Helo - Short for helicopter/chopper
Jump Throw - Increasing the distance which you can throw an object by sprinting and jumping before throwing it. Version 1.2 will make it impossible to shoot in mid-air, making jump throwing impossible for most objects. The clear exceptions are thrown grenades since you initiate ("shoot") the grenade toss before sprinting or jumping.
Lame4 - Weapon of choice (usually C4) for bunny hopping in special forces. Usually will be used to suicide and team kill two people as long as one enemy dies too.
Lone Wolf - An individual who plays alone and does not cooperate with others.

SF - Battlefield 2 Special Forces
Sky Cow - Slang for the Mi-17 and Z-8 (MEC and PLA transport helicopters), based on their relative weakness compared to the blackhawk
Spawn camper - A player who racks up kills by attacking a spawn point with no intention of capturing it
Stat Padder Someone who cheats in one way or another to achieve higher game stats.
TK - Team Kill
TW - Team wound
UAV - Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
USMC - United States Marine Corps
Vanilla - Original Battlefield 2 without any expansions or mods
