How about "avoid the meteors?"

I think you guys are getting the word "Meta" confuddled.

Meta thing are things that are outside the game itself (I'm sure you've head "metagaming"): Using teamspeak, paying people real money to do stuff in game, achievements that display on XBL and PSN even hacking. All examples a metagaming to some extent.

Yeah, I guess "macro objectives" might be a better name, but we knew what he meant...You knew what he meant...I figure it's better to just roll with it.

Still, now you mention it...Actual "meta-obectives" might be kind of brilliant.
