<b>Tagged</b> - As Kharaa it means you've parasited specific marines (Is used in conjunction with other acronyms, e.g. I've Tagged 3 HA HMGs.) As a marine it means you've been parasited.
<b>Tagging</b> - Means your intention right now is to tag as many marines as possible rather than just throwing yourself at them.
