any effort to verify what terms are used by soldiers to describe same event?
FPS are simulators for the real guys anyways? aren't they? —Preceding unsigned comment added by DennisDaniels ( talk • contribs) 20:44, 21 September 2002
I think the term might have originated with Dungeons & Dragons, where even back in the first edition, there was a chart for determining the "splash damage" of a hurled bottle or flask, which might contain acid, or burning oil, or holy water (vs. undead). I don't have the books anymore to check, though. — Catherine\ talk 20:48, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I created Splash Damage in the CNC Wiki but Mikael Grizzly changed it into Collateral Damage which does not make any sense.( TougHHead 06:54, 16 November 2007 (UTC))
I think the term your looking for there is AREA OF EFFECT, which would be slightly different to splash damage.. unless someone can point me at the spells that hit one and spread? Spells like a Paladin Consecration, or a Warlocks Hellfire for example. They affect an area, but they don't fly out, and cause an area effect on a single target..
If no-one disagrees in a few days or so, I'll edit it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.12.184.147 ( talk) 18:37, 21 January 2007
The article looks like it was half-written by a hardcore first person shooter fan, and half written by a hardcore Starcraft/Real Time Strategy fan. If you ask me, the article should not cite specific game genres(As much) or things like quadrupeds(I've seen many games with melee splash damage, and never from a quadruped).-- 99.225.28.182 ( talk) 01:57, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
