You would not believe what just happened! I just spawned and was walking out into the fray when someone else spawned right in front of me with a rocket launcher and blasted me to bits! Spawn-to-spawn kills can be insane.
A social media bot that promotes a fake doctor (quack). Often used in phishing or scam attempts.
Such glamorous reviews of a random doctor in your comment sections are actually quackbots.
"Spawn Mobbed" past, "Spawn Mobbing" gerund. When you spawn with several enemies around you and then are promptly attacked and killed.
If the enemies are the newly-spawned, this is a Reverse Spawn Mob. If you kill the enemies without dying, this is a Reverse Spawn Massacre. If both of the previous criteria, it's a Spawn Massacre.

My gosh, I just spawned and was promptly shredded by three players with SMGs! Spawn mob, anyone?
Waiter: And how would you like your steak?
Customer: Congratulations.
The hunt for an essential item that IS already hard enough to find on its own, but ALSO in a situation with dire consequences if the wrong item is taken and/or the item isn't found in time.
Much more dangerous than the standard needle in a haystack.
"In front of you are one thousand buttons. One will disarm the nuke. All the others will set it off. You have five minutes."
"Agh, finding that button will be like finding the hay in the needle stack!"
When two players kill each other at the same time. Most likely caused by the weapons being delayed instant-kills, such as rocket launchers, but can more rarely happen with hitscan weapons (i.e. weapons with no projectile travel time) should the players fire at the EXACT same time. Environmental explosives (e.g. explosive barrels) or being in a heavily damaged vehicle (e.g. rocket launcher vs. car) can increase the likelihood.
In a duel or two-team match where the most kills wins, the trade kill results in no net gain of points since both teams earn a point. However, in the rare case where one more kill will result in victory, even a trade will result in the leading team getting the victory. Some game modes only provide score for kills on certain criteria (e.g. headshots), which will make a net zero-score trade kill harder, if not impossible, to get.
In Halo 3, I saw a dramatic trade kill. Two Choppers from different teams boosted into one another. Since Choppers can even destroy other Choppers with their ram attack, both Choppers blew up and the drivers died.
A point at which the player may not turn back. You may not revisit any prior locations or start any missed sidequests; you MUST continue your journey until you beat the game, and any content you avoided up to this point may not be reached.
The Point of No Return is always preceded immediately by the Point of Safe Return, which is the last chance to do sidequests or stock up for the journey. Similar Plot Tunnels lock the player onto a set course for a while, but they donât lead straight to the end of the game. Game Levels are where youâre frequently prevented from returning to previous areas.
The term âPoint of No Returnâ originates in aviation, where a plane that crosses this point must continue toward its destination.
Point of No Return, Plot Tunnel, and Game Level all have pages on TV Tropes, where you can read more about them and what games theyâre in.
SAVE GAME?
This is your last chance to save the game. You are about to cross the Point of No Return. If you do decide to save your game, keep the save file handy should you need to come back.
