One of the frontrunners for Best Picture in Sunday's Academy Awards ceremony is Kathryn Bigelow's tense depiction of a U.S. bomb squad unit in Iraq, The Hurt Locker. The movie's official website says of the title, "In Iraq, it is soldier vernacular to speak of explosions as sending you to 'the hurt locker."
In fact, like so much American military slang, hurt locker (along with related hurt expressions) dates back to the Vietnam War.

One of the most mixed-reviewed maps in Battlefield 4. It is basically the direct sequel to Operation Metro in Battlefield 3. The layout of Operation Metro was heavily criticized for the losing team cannot get any flags, or easily get capped out in their base being baseraped so severely.
EA DICE, the developer of Battlefield 4, designed Operation Locker to bring up the intense infantry fights in Operation Metro, and give the losing players more chance to break out of the rape of the winning team a little bit easier even though it is still regarded as the clusterfucking map.

A: Why do people seem to enjoy 'Operation Locker 'and 'Operation Metro' so much? They're awful maps that feel like they should be in a corridor shooters like 'Call of Duty'.
B: Everyone loves clusterfucking in a corridor, camping, and spamming explosives in the 64-player massacres.
