LOL, nah no big deal. PUG is basically random individuals grouped together to make a team. Premades are when a group of people join a team (like a clan).

Pickup Group; used commonly in WoW and other MMORPGs. Basically means a group that isn't formed by people you know; instead, it's formed up of random, possible noobs that will completely wreck whatever experience you are getting the group for.

Pick up game... or pick up group

[MaddMaxx]

And MWO has a Hybrid PUG that is defined as a collection of 8 random players who utilize Comms so as to appear more Team (Clan based) than they really are...

P.S. Comms does offer an advantage but the group is still usually +75% strangers...

I use it from Counter-Strike as Pick Up Group, in that you're in a group with 'x' amount of people, but you don't know them, and are randomly on their team. The alternate, for me, was 'Set Up' groups, where you used vent/TS3/etc with the specific people in the group.

As a rule though it is meant to indicate a lack of organization, and that the people involved don't work together.

I still prefer the MWO version - Lone Wolf (or Wolves) or Solo Player(s) grouped into a match basically without a pre organized type of communication (such as comms, C3, TS3, Ventrillo, TS2 or whatever)
