Pronounced leet speak, A dialect of online communication that is written in a generally distinguishable manner, using numbers to recplace letters, and is usually impossible to understand by anyone who is not active in online communities.
3D Sound:
technology that makes 2 speakers sound like 4. It muffles and changes sounds that should be behind you to make them sound like they really are behind you. It\'s not quite as good as the real thing (unless you have headphones. It works great with headphones!), but it\'s better than normal 2-speaker sound. Most 4.1- and 5.1-channel (see below) soundcards can change 3D sound and send the signals to the appropriate speakers. It also sometimes refers to the implication of echos according to the environment you are in in a game. If you are in a cave, the echos would be louder and more numerous than if you were in a padded room.
3D Shooter:
Action games in which the action goes on in a 3 dimensional world. The other common denominator is the use of long range weapons to kill other players.
4.1 or 5.1 channel:
This refers to the number of channels of sound. A normal set of stereo speakers (2 speakers) are 2 channels. The sound card sends 2 different channels of sound, one for each speaker. 4.1-channel is 4 channels of distinct sound. The .1 refers to the subwoofer, as most speaker systems automatically take all the bass frequencies and send them to the subwoofer, then send the rest to the normal speakers. 5.1-channel is 5 seperate channels of sound (front, front or side left & right, rear left & right), plus the subwoofer. NOTE: You must have a sound card that supports the surround sound system (ie: a normal sound card can only support a 2 channel system, a 4-channel sound card can support a 2 or 4.1 system, a 5-channel card can support a 2, 4.1, or 5.1 channel system.)
