Some one in utter rage just called me a tank on call of duty.
Now being the casual gamer I am, I do understand the definition and role of a tank in games such as WoW and other hero based senarios.
What I don't understand is the role of a tank in a FPS where everyone is attributed equal health.
Please discuss if there is any definition.
P.S. I was in a free for all which makes tanking even more daft

Re: Tanking
...What?
The person's probably just raging, I've never heard that in an FPS AFAIK.

Re: Tanking
It is a compliment, on an FPS like COD it just means someone going out and Tanking the game by dominating the other team in comparison to their own

Compliment, imo. "You are such a tank.. unstoppable force of metal, a machine of death."
