Message: <blockquote data-quote="Arkhandus" data-source="post: 3700561" data-attributes="member: 13966">MW 2 was about Clan Wolf and Clan Jade Falcon fighting one another over their positions in the Invasion, being rabid opponents of one another (Wolf a Warden Clan at the time, Jade Falcon a Crusader Clan, and just plain hating each other).  I have the MW 2 Battlepack, which includes the Ghost Bear's Legacy expansion (in which Clan Ghost Bear gets involved).Clan Ghost Bear is fond of ambush tactics and hiding in the snow, like their totem animal.  They are also less averse to close combat with punches, kicks, or 'death from above' jumps.  The Kodiak itself, one of the 'Mech designs favored by Clan Ghost Bear, is equipped with claws on each arm for just such tactics, as I recall.The 'Mech running around at first is a Vulture, and I think its small, blurry unit emblem is supposed to be that of Clan Ghost Bear.  Been a long time since I last played the game so I cannot recall for certain.  I think that expansion pack was about some schism in Clan Ghost Bear, or some enemies stealing Ghost Bear machines to use in raids against them I forget.Quiaff and Quineg are Clan terms that mean roughly "That is affirmative, yes?" and "That is negative, yes?" and the proper response is Aff or Neg, as appropropriate (Quiaff is expecting an Aff response, affirmative in other words, and Quineg is expecting a Neg response, negative in other words; if you respond differently it means you are disagreeing with the speaker).Despite the Clan derision for lazy words like 'it's', 'you're', and such, their vocabulary is filled with unusual words that are mangled derivations of other words, or mashed together combinations made into a single word; Quiaff and Quineg are just short-hand versions of "my query is an affirmative/is correct, right?" and "my query is a negative/is wrong, right?"  Or something like that.A Clansman might say something along the lines of "Galaxy Commander Soandso Someoneorother would not betray Clan Suchandsuch, quineg?"  And the proper response, unless disagreeing, would be "Neg."  Means they are expecting an agreement that the statement is negative.  Or something like that; I am probably getting it mixed up in my own head while trying to explain it. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/nervous.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":heh:" title="Nervous Laugh    :heh:" data-shortname=":heh:" /> I am not sure what exactly your "Wha?" refers to in the video, so I answered the bits I thought you may have been referring to. *shrug*</blockquote>
