Project Reality Forums

Forgive me if this is a repost (I did a search on the forums and didnt find anything).

Perhaps we could put a list of popular PR acronyms/terms/slang/phrases and maybe sticky the thread or add to the manual/wiki. It would be helpful for those new to PR and without real world military experience.

Things such as RP, FOB, HAT, LAT, RPG etc. Maybe even explain the "OVER 9000"

Thoughts?

well PR RPG GL SL JS HV HELI HELO JET RL "Project R" PB(Patient Bear){PunkBuster) Im trying to think of more someone please add.

dead = critical wounded

gary = bomb truck

This one's great ahahah!

"Big red" are not to be forgotten!

wounded = wounded
down = wounded
dead = dead

RP = Rally Point
FOB = Forward Operating Base
HAT = Heavy Anti Tank
LAT = Light Anti Tank
RPG = Rocket Propelled Grenade
PR = .....sigh....
GL = Grenade Launcher (or Good Luck sometimes )
SL = Squad Leader
SM = Squad Member
GG = Good Game
GGA = Good Game All
etc.

I'd choose "dead dead" to make sure the person you're talking to knows you're unrevivable . I'd use down or wounded when I can still be revived.

That's exactly how I do it.
Easy to remember. Make this a rule and add it to all guides!

The over 9000 thing is from dragon ball

RP- rally point
FOB- foward operations base

(including above stuff)
CAS - close air support
NTS - need tank support (not used much) (otherwise known as NAS - need Armour support)
FOB - firebase
rp - rally point- nowadays with rally points mostly gone- i say they must have a rp somewhere in this area- might be a firebase- might be nothing- its just where they are comming from.
gg - Good game
bg - bad game
nme - dud on other team - otherwise known as enemy (just sound out the word- you come up with three letters =P ) (i had a hard time learning this one)
dead - wounded
dead dead -dead (unrevivable) (i use this system aswell =P)
shot -wounded and down or wounded and still able to shoot)
down - wounded - need reviving

AA - anti aircraft
AT - anti tank
BFG - big f***ing gun (can refer to anti tank weapon of any type)
TOW - missel launcher used on the Humvee- other armies use different types- most refer to all placed as a deployable anti tank launcher.
BEING OVERRUN - get some peaple here ASAP- WE CAN NOT WIN THE BATTLE (please- if someone askes for help- get over their asap.
We can handle it - get over their anyways- just not as much of a rush.
big red - the big red bomb truck
gary - the big exploding trash truck
RPG - anti tank missel- rocket propelled grenade

Rocket Propelled Grenade - Glossary Definition - Army Technology
Rocket-propelled grenade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Definition of rocket propelled grenade
RPG: Definition from Answers.com

RPG is a transliteration of РПГ, the Russian abbreviation of Reaktivnyy/Ruchnoy Protivotankovyy Granatomyot (реактивный/ручной противотанковый гранатомё&#1090 , "jet/hand-held anti-tank grenade launcher", according to Wikipedia that is. Therefore, RPG really does stand for Rocket-Propelled Grenade, but the explosive that is called the grenade is actually a warhead.

So, regardless what definition of RPG you pick, you know what people mean in-game.....

RPG also stands for Role Playing Game, but that's not the one we're looking for here .

map abbreviation during spots: things like E5kp3, F1kp6, A4kp9 used where:

ok... i truly started to explain this but cant do it in a good way. some1 with good wording pls do it

Anyone have any ideas on how to best organize this into an official list?

I can start putting together an official list but want it to be useful/noticed by people that need it.

GTG = Good to go
HSLG = High Speed, Low Drag
RGR = Roger
AR = Auto Rifleman
NUB = Scot

A1KP2 refers to the following:

A1 grid, there are 32 grid squares going from A1-2-3-4-etc to H1-2-3-4-etc, all the way up to A8 and H8.

KP2 refers to the keypad, as grid squares are further divided up into 9 little boxes.I use a simpler term, A47 for example, which would mean the grid of A4, and the keypad of 7.

The keypads don't work like your mobile phone however, they work like this:

7 8 9
4 5 6
1 2 3

I like "down" for critical wounded and "dead" for dead.

Dead dead sounds rubbish.

We often use 'revivable' for wounded and 'dead dead' for dead.

Its funny how popular dead dead is
