Reader Discussion: Where Did You Earn Your FPS Skills?
No one was born knowing how to play, let alone win, a first-person shooter. Navigating, aiming, and ultimately succeeding in multiplayer takes time to learn. We’re reminded of this whenever we convince a friend to try a shooter for the first time. So where did you earn your FPS stripes?
With Killzone: Shadow Fall, Battlefield 4, and Call of Duty: Ghosts launching within a week of each other, FPS fans have a lot on their plates.
For over a year, a friend and I played hundreds of Red Faction 2 matches against bots. We started with 4 v 4, slowly increasing the challenge until we were dominating every round 2 v 6 on the hardest difficulty. After that things only got smoother.
Let us know which game sharpened your first-person shooter skills. Did you pick them up from playing single player, multiplayer, or both? Note: “I have always been good,” is not a sufficient answer.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
