Games often use iron sights to define precision shooting with non-scoped weapons.
In games, the player is usually the ambushee, not the ambusher, but certain multiplayer, stealth and open-world games give players a chance to try this sneaky tactic themselves.
Necessary to sustain life in organic creatures, the crimson fluid known as blood tends to make appearances when the body's structure is compromised in some way, a very, very common occurrence in videogames.
Body armor in games acts as additional protection. In most cases, when a player takes damage that would completely affect their health, their body armor reduces the damage taken or takes the damage instead.
The ability in a first person shooter to shoot bullets through walls and objects at enemies. This usually results in less damage and accuracy once the bullet passes through the wall/object, and may only work on certain materials or thicknesses.
CQC and CQB are close range combat techniques.
Counter-terrorists fight terrorists wherever they are found. These professional soldiers are highly disciplined and skilled in their profession.
One of the four main playable counter terrorists in the Counter-Strike series.
Derived from the Spanish word for "little war", guerrilla warfare is waged by a small and mobile armed force against a larger, more regimented force. It typically involves the use of ambushes, sabotage, and other offensive tactics meant to overcome an enemy's greater numbers.

A term used to describe the flow of action in a typical action game, where the pace is pre-defined to feature fast action and require quick reflexes. As the name suggests, these are games where the player character can run and shoot at the same time.
Characters who speak with a Russian accent.
A person leading a double life. Many comic book characters have one and sometimes the plot of their stories is keeping their secret identities a secret.
Crunchy frozen water fallen from the sky. Many games feature a snow world, a snow level, or otherwise-connected regions of wintery landscapes.
The Special Air Service became the model for the modern special forces of any country during WWII.
Elite and specially trained/equipped military troops and law enforcement tasked with carrying out specific and dangerous/sensitive objectives beyond the remit of regular military personnel. Many games feature special forces operators or units as protagonists or enemies.
The spetsnaz are the Russian special forces, the equivalent to the Green Berets or the Navy SEALS of the United States.
Spies are the masters of espionage. They're also (usually) quite adept at the art of stealth, disguise, and assassination.
A gameplay mechanic which allows the player to move faster than the normal speed. Usually for a set amount of time.
Why go it alone when you can roll with a team? Squad Tactics let you issue commands to a whole crew of A.I controlled squad mates, who can(among other things) plant bombs, fire at specific targets, take cover, and talk smack.
Task Force 141 is the team you will be a part of in Modern Warfare 2 and is led by Capt. "Soap" MacTavish.
"Every marine a rifleman" is one of the mottos of America's toughest fighting force. Tasked with projecting might through amphibious operations as well as acting as shock assault infantry, the Marines have taken on an added significance during the War on Terror.
