You just volunteered son, so start editing your post and add them:

Fuzzy Bunny: Word filter that replaces naughty words on these forums and the game, example "fuzzy bunny you and your fuzzy bunny mother's fuzzy bunny fuzzy bunny that you fuzzy bunny when fuzzy bunny fuzzy bunny!"

MMR: Match Maker Rating, Basically where you stand as a player.

SMC: Sub Machine Cannon, a weapon for certain Mechs.

well this escalated quite quickly... WELL I'll at least try but I just need stuff to fill it up with since I just started and I asked for the help haha. Also love the immediate feedback in the forums.

I'll keep trying to edit but in the meantime I'll probably be playing Hawken :P

It usually does. xD And don't sweat doing the glossary thing, I've actually been trying to work on something similar for a while now. I'll let you know when I have something presentable together. :)

-edit- You're name is incredible. :D

Actually I do have a few (perhaps not all acronyms) to contribute:

AA - Anti-air control point in Siege. If you see somebody type this and nothing else (or perhaps AA! or AAAAAAAAAAA) then they're trying to quickly tell you they know something's up and the team should attack or defend the anti-air control point.
BS - Battleship or bull-[scat]
E1, E2, 1, 2 - The numbered energy trees in Siege.
S1, S2, S3, 1, 2, 3 - The numbered control points in Missile Assault
Scoot - Scout
Boot - Infiltrator
Airzerker - Berserker with air compressor equipped
Cupcake - A special model and skin for the Vanguard
Fatty - C class mech
Boss, Boss Brawler - When the developers want to cheat in-game, they pull out this Brawler that does increased damage (2x ?) and has a ton (20x ?) of health. Typically we see it in dev livestreams on Twitch.
Tech, Medic - Technician
G2 - Probably refers to the G2 Assault, as that was its acronym before more G2 mechs were released
G2A - G2 Assault
G2R - G2 Raider (until G2 Rocketeer comes out, then we'll have to figure out a different one)
MIRV - the shotgun version of the Corsair-KLA
KLA - the grenade version of the Corsair-KLA
SAARE - the incinerator's secondary weapon (seriously, nobody wrote this yet?)
Nade - H.E. Charge (it's shorthand for grenade)
Det - Detonator
AC - Air compressor
AF - Armor fusor (internal)
PS - Power surger (internal) or power shot (sharpshooter's ability)
Amp, Overcharge, Green Beam - A Technician using his ability (Amplification)
Goomba (Stomp)- Killing an enemy by crushing damage
Deathball - When all the members of a team travel together and have little difficulty overrunning the one or two players they encounter at any moment in time
LFG - Generic term "looking for group," which originated in multiplayer online role-playing games
LFM - Generic term "looking for members," which originated in multiplayer online role-playing games
Inv - Please invite me to the party
ns - Nice shot, nice kill
ty - Thank you

one I use:

wham(v): an alpha strike, or to deal a large amount of burst damage in a very short time.

the term is usually reserved for when the damage is total - from full health to garage in two blinks

my tech was whammed by that EOC+GL volley from your infiltrator!

it appeared in a video about the various types of alpha strikes that were prevalent in hawken at the time.

gren, pred, tech, zerk - self-explanatory.

I can feel it now- It's more obvious than ever there's a problem-and I better try to figure out-
If i'm willing to solve it- or ignore it like a middle child- seems like it's been awhile-
Since I had an answer to one of lifes  riddles- I'm riddled out- Now i'm stuck in this mental house- And these four walls are driving me crazy!!!!
