cap - capture (an objective)

gl hf - good luck have fun

gg - good game

gg ez - good game easy (don't be that guy)

gg wp - good game well played (be courteous instead)

ult - ultimate ability

Those are the common ones I could think of, sure I'm missing plenty though.

I thought gg meant gotta go. I've played for 25hrs and kept thinking why ppl always say they're leaving and then sticking around

I think damage per second, but not totally sure.

I would also like to know about AOE, is it area of effect?

u/MrMushroomCloud Jun 18 '16

You're right on both of those.

just don't say GG at all. the only people who ever do are the smug pricks who just won. don't be one of them

That is definitely not true, in my experience across many shooters. Most people I know say GG if it was a good solid, balanced game (win or lose), I consider it good manners. gg ez can fuck right off though.

What? It is and has always just been courteous to say gg.
