Seen in most shooter games, typically first person. Either the target is well hidden, or the sniper really sucks, but both are at a deadlock.
Every other second or so a shot
will be fired off, rarely hitting anything, as a warning or a weak attempt, just
like an occasional spit in the target'
s direction (probably the namesake). That little bit of pointless assault is called spitting. No one is getting hurt besides the
random lucky shot, and it's annoying as hell.
Sniper: Can I get some
support out here? Noobert here won't leave his stupid cave, so I've just been spitting at him.
Target: Arrrg this camper has
no life! He's been spitting at me the whole game!!!!
