Definitions Please

I looked at a post on v2.2 and it mentioned FMV. What is it and what does it stand for?

FMV= Full Motion Videos.

Basically, a *huge* plus for the SP people.

Full Motion Video.

I'm used to calling them cinematics; Pumpkin called them sequences.

Basically, they're the videos in the single-player campaign that show the plot but most people just skip through. Now, instead of complaining they're not there, you can skip through them! :D

Thanks a lot, but there is another thing.

What's an IMO. I only joined this site recently and haven't quite adjusted to all these abbreviations.

I normally don't click on a link unless it's one I know is safe. O_O

I'm extremely protective of my computer, it is already crashing and slow. If something serious were to happen to it, I would have a panic attack.

That's really silly. If you haven't already, you should install Mozilla Firefox. Then you should stop being worried about clicking bad links. Especially considering he's a Warzone developer - he's not going to intentionally mislead you.
