Re: Zerg - And what that means?


Zerg is like "fuck" and "shit" - it has a lot of meanings and uses.


A unique PlanetSide meaning that I used a lot was to refer to the large mass of otherwise unguided players that would move like a mob across the map from one facility to another, taking the simplest and most direct route to the next objective and capturing all towers along the way.

These player blobs were a combination of solo players, small squads, and outfits of all sizes. They gravitated together and were largely self-guided, but CR5s could direct them to various degrees of success, provided there weren't a lot of conflicting requests from different CR5s.

They were often the blind leading the blind but they had a basic understanding of how the strategic game was played and a programmed pattern of attack tower, attack base, move to next base, rinse & repeat. Not very responsive of smarter enemy tactics, they'd often get bogged down and stuck at a single insignificant base while more valuable bases were lost.

Often called "The Zerg on <continent>"
