Topic: Frag (video gaming)


  
  Frag (video gaming) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frag is a computer and video game term, used in first-person shooter (FPS) deathmatch.
This leads to the game theoretical consequence that one should engage in combat with another player unless severely outmatched because the potential benefit (one frag) outweighs the potential harm (lost time for respawning and the opponent, who may not be ranked first, getting a frag).
Frag is a term used in FPS's and is short for fragmentation grenade.

 Deathmatch - Psychology Central   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
The goal of a deathmatch game is to kill (or "frag") as many other players as possible until a certain condition or limit is reached, commonly being a fraglimit or timelimit.
Some games give a different name to these types of matches — for example, slayer in Halo and combat simulator in Perfect Dark, but the underlying concepts are identical.
Friendly fire may or may not cause damage, depending on the game and the rules used — if it does, players that kill a teammate (called a team kill) usually decrease their own score and the team's score by one point; in certain games, they may also themselves be killed.

There have been a few games that have taken on this setting like the new oddworld game, which is a pretty good gamead then there was another that i never really played but I heard it wasn't that good.
It just seems to me that if you took a morrowind or everquest style of game play and set the story in the old west it would be really cool.
I think the reason you don't see a lot of old western games is because they'd have a hard time competing with today's frag-fests.

 Taking Video Games to the Streets
Some games require strapping a computer and a monitor-headset to the player, which allows the person to see everything around him or her with the addition of virtual elements added by the computer; motion sensors and tracking equipment help to make this possible.
Since the game monsters and guns need to be placed correctly and not visible when they are behind a wall, the computer equipped on the players back must know where important real objects are.
To keep the computer aware of this, the game runs a map that is structured the same as the gaming area but is invisible to the player.
