I think it's short for "opposition", as in a rival gang

    This makes vastly more sense in both gamer and hip-hop context than "opponent" does, so I'm willing to concede that this might actually be the right reading, as retroactively this fits in place of "operative" in the hip-hop settings I've experienced it in whereas opponent doesn't.

    Kudos.
