Within the Fornite community, the term is commonly used and there are several examples of this around the internet, including a post from Redditor SwarlesBarkle圓 uploaded to the r/FortniteCompetitive sub on July 2nd, 2018. The video has been viewed over 111,000 times and liked over 3,000 times. The YouTube channel Chaos published a video (shown above) on October 27th, 2018, with the title “Are You a SWEATY Fortnite Player?” and discussed the term alongside a “test” that attempts to determine whether or not someone meets the qualifications of being dubbed “sweaty” within the Fortnite community. Here, a user is seen once again asking for the definition, as several people list various examples in the comments below.
Within the base of the Halo franchise, “sweaty” also became adopted and is seen in a thread from Halo Waypoint on November 26th, 2016. The term eventually became widespread in a majority of games, particularly those with competitive multiplayer modes and PVP elements, often used interchangeably with “try-hard” as a newer version of the terminology. It’s an entire subculture of PVPers in Destiny.” In Trials, these guys aren’t just ‘doing bounties,’ they are booning it up with the sole purpose of going flawless and will stop at nothing. One reply from user JP_Bmore provides a solid explanation, “Sweaties are people trying really hard to win and will throw the proverbial kitchen sink at you. Several users replied, explaining that “sweaties” relates to both competitive players and modes. On the GameFAQs message boards for Destiny, user YoshimotoBanana asked “What are sweaties?” on December 22nd, 2015, and received over 50 comments from people explaining the term. Battlefield V doesnt drastically alter the first-person-shooter field, but whats in this package is quite good.
In 2015, the term spread to other gaming communities, including the Destiny playerbase who quickly adopted “sweaty” to describe both players and certain competitive modes notorious for being filled with try-hard players. Several users commented on the post and proceeded to debate the definition, with one such example coming from Redditor JayJ_9 stating, “It's pretty much a term for people who are trying to win.” On Reddit, the term also surfaced within the FIFA sub, where Redditor miahrules posted a question asking about the definition of the term on December 1st, 2014.
