I don't think "airblast" can be considered slang, given how many official sources use the word "airblast", including the backburner's description, the June 25, 2009 Patch; the August 31, 2009 Patch; the December 17, 2009 Patch; the April 28, 2010 Patch; the December 17, 2010 Patch; the April 14, 2011 Patch; the April 18, 2012 Patch; and the December 20, 2012 Patch. Should I remove "airblast" but keep "AB"? [[User:Wamesy|Wamesy]] ([[User talk:Wamesy|talk]]) 19:19, 17 March 2014 (PDT)

I noticed that there were some terms describing map locations, such as the "House" on Gravel Pit and the "Tower" on Gravel Pit/Hightower. I removed these terms because there are dozens of locations on every map with suck nicknames, some nicknames can refer to different things on different maps, and different players use different nicknames. Having such terms on this page is a bad precedent, since they could clutter the page. However, a catalogue of such terms could be quite useful to new competitive players. I think it might be a good idea to include them on the wiki, but on their own separate page. Actually, I believe some map strategy pages make use of the terms, so keeping those up-to-date would probably serve the same purpose even better.

Halocaust or Halo-caust?

I'm pretty sure I usually see it spelled without a hyphen on the steam forums. Should the hyphen be removed or just slash it together with the alternative spelling? Ailure 20:42, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

cleaners arrived

I think the definitions of "pit" and "rage" are clear, shall I remove the notice? Super Prototype... not so super. 09:12, 17 April 2013 (PDT)

Removing Airblast

I don't think "airblast" can be considered slang, given how many official sources use the word "airblast", including the backburner's description, the June 25, 2009 Patch; the August 31, 2009 Patch; the December 17, 2009 Patch; the April 28, 2010 Patch; the December 17, 2010 Patch; the April 14, 2011 Patch; the April 18, 2012 Patch; and the December 20, 2012 Patch.
