AI Bots are computer-controlled game characters that substitute for characters that are otherwise typically played by a human, and are most commonly found in multiplayer games.
A game in which the object is for each team to retrieve the opponent's flag and return it to their own base. Typically used in multiplayer first-person shooter games.
A Multiplayer game mode where two opposing teams battle for flags, bases, or outposts
A gameplay mode that pits two or more players in a fight to the death. John Romero is credited with coining the multiplayer term "deathmatch."
In many games there is a ranking system, the players with the highest point value are listed in a "high score" table.

Matchmaking is a technique which allows players or teams to be matched with others for the purpose of playing an online multiplayer game.
When a game has a single player campaign that isn't its own separate thing, but rather just a series of multiplayer-style matches that you play against, and/or work alongside with, computer controlled "bots" instead of other players.

Games which allow players to interact with others over the internet.
Player versus Player, commonly abbreviated as PvP, is a gaming term that originated in MMOs to refer to gameplay in which players fight against other player controlled characters.
Ranking Systems tally the player's current progress and relative skill, by tracking raw numbers of multiple statistics (like score and time) during a session of gameplay. This results in a competitive meta-game where the goal is usually to reach the top position.
A mode featured in the recent games in the Battlefield series, where attackers must detonate charges at multiple waves of bomb sites.
A squad is a group of military personnel who work together as a group. Popular in both single-player and multiplayer games, the other players within the squad can be either AI or other people.
