Nevertheless, some playing strategy and some options can help you to achieve this task and be a good player, wining more or being more frequently the best player on the field. Let's see some strategy made by Davigetto. I'm taking as example AssaultCube, a free FPS -> Recommended!!!!
- Weapons: Any FPS which deserves some acceptance should have several kind of weapons, among them:
- A submachine gun with fast fire rate for those who don't aim very well at first. Good for finishing off those badly damaged enemies or spreading around. The counterpart is that every bullet does a low amount of damage (at fast rate, of course) and while you are firing on your target, you are showing yourself, exposed to be fired by the enemy. Shotguns are good avoiding this last disadvantatge (you can shot and hide), but aim is needed.
- A sniper rifle for long distance and players who love playing FPS games with strategy (hide, shot&run, support the team...), have a good accuracy and can kill an enemy in only 1 shot. They are good defending short-ranged team members from other snipers too, or shooting targets which are far away.
- Shotgun: shotguns are simply fantastic and massive. The have a medium fire rate, but in every shot they usually spread up to ten or more bullets. In long distances the are useless. In short distances they become mortal if all bullets hit the target. Nevertheless it requires acuraccy, unlike submachine guns, but they do more damage in less time. They should defend enemies from snipers.
These are the three minimal weapons for any good FPS (more pistol and a knife).
More advices:
- Have some knowledge of the maps you're usually playing.
- If you are in a well-organised clan, then make fireteams mixing the previous weapons and keep together.
- Use Teamspeak for communicating. This will ensure you more fun and an enjoyable gaming.
- Keep always moving and jumping when battling, unless you are a sniper with strategic purposes
- The most important for improving your own aim: adjust the mouse sensibility. This will give you more freedom when moving the aiming point (crosshair) with mouse, aiming better and faster if it is well-adjusted. In AssaultCube a sensibility of 5 is rather good, but you must find your own way, testing and looking for the suitable sensibility.
To sum up, aiming, strategy and team-play are the key to maximise the enjoyment in FPS games. Try my advices, you won't be disappointed!
Dude pinging high and low is more important than guns, I used to roam around with hand gun and mow down the map and thats before I moved a house when the server was 500 meters from me, imagine those who live 50 meters from the server. now I live 2.6 KM from the server and I die just by taking 2 steps. doesnt matter what gun you use, when your net is latent and/or lag, good gun will make only small difference.
