spotlocking

Often used in first person shooter games, "spotlocking" is when a player sits somewhere and aiming directly at a passage of some sort and therefore "spotlocking" that area.

It could be a doorway or a tunnel for example, and players that runs through the passege are easily shot down.

"Spotlocking" is mostly used by some camper noob who cannot get enough kills.

"OMG, some n00b is spotlocking the door, I can't get through"

"Guys I need some kills, I think I'll spotlock this corner"

Softlocking

A softlock in gaming terminology is when you are stuck at a specific point in a game with no way to get out or escape. This usually happens by glitches and is not an intention feature of the game. A lot of times, you have to start from a different save point or even restart the game entirely to escape it.

Some examples of softlocking are: being unable to progress due to being stuck in an area without the tools to get out, a corrupted save file so that you cannot really progress on that save, etc.

Example sentence: My game glitched out and I'm stuck under the map. I cannot do anything so I think I'm actually softlocked.
