English term

reccy

English to Spanish Other Gaming/Video-games/E-sports Video Games
Every morning is spent dressing up in elaborate disguises to reccy your next hit and surreptitiously secrete your killing implements where they can be easily accessed when the business commences.

De nuevo con un jueguito de video, asesino en preparación y esas cosas que gustan tanto a los chicos modernos... ¿Pero cómo traducir reccy?

Saludos,
Carmen H.

estudiar

Yo diría 'estudiar' pero a lo mejor puedes pensar en algo más apto para el lenguaje de un videojuego.
Como bien dice Bill, reccy viene de reconaissance y es como 'check out' (the area, an enemy, etc..).
Peer comment(s):

agree Bill Greendyk : You're right, Anne, for a game this would be more suitable language. Un saludo!

hola :-)
neutral Intergraf : It would work here, but the correct term really is "reconocer" or "hacer un reconocimiento"

reconocer

Hola Carmen,

The word seems to come from "reconnaissance," which would mean to hacer un reconocimiento o reconocer al enemigo.

Hope this helps!
