Splash damage is the damage that is caused by explosive projectile weapons.
For example, the explosion of a rocket from the Rocket Launcher can be considered a sphere in space. Anything that occupies the same space as the sphere, receives damage. In recent games the center of such a sphere deals more damage than the edges, resulting in a more realistically portrayal of the effect of explosives.
