10 Golden Rules of First Person Shooters

DualShockers Writes:

"You know, I was thinking about an idea for an editorial, whilst playing yet another game of Call of Duty 4, Hardcore TDM because I'm that sort of person (You should not be able to fill someone with an entire clip of AK47 ammunition for then to come and stab you in the face) when, out or boredom and sheer frustration I thought I'd compile a list of 'golden rules' for the FPS genre, not really for any real purpose and I'll highly doubt it'll benefit mankind in any way, shape or form but screw it, here goes..."

Is actually quite entertaining.

I think the comments at the end are more entertaining.

You should not be able to fill someone with an entire clip of AK47 ammunition for then to come and stab you in the face" - It's sad but true.

I should mount this top ten list on my wall...now if I could only get a list about how to avoid my wife while playing games.

[Grevan]

That's all I have to say. Same with snipers!

[Nihilism]

dude the sniper rifle in F.E.A.R 2 was delicious

0:34 some meaty goodness

when done right they can be extremely satisfying

@iiprotocolii

i agree, another awesome single player game that went under the radar, i don't usually play online multi with shooters, but i did with f.e.a.r 2 and it was pretty good, i think they've already closed ( or are going to close) the servers though...they should have put damn bots in, hardly any games do anymore, so for that reason, counterstrike source still has the fps multiplayer crown for me

[iiprotocolii]

That F.E.A.R 2 was also a good game. Underrated if you ask me.

[SuperStrokey1123]

Pretty decent, another rule could be dont forget to include a $1000 swag bag to reviewers.

[iiprotocolii]

Agreed.

[BROOKLYN N-M-E]

like the swag bag all the ODST reviewers received?

[ReviewsArePolitics]

And Kane and Lynch too (well, except that isn't FPS)

"3. Re-spawn, do exactly the same thing you did the last time you get killed and then wonder why you keep dying, to the point where the same guy, in the same place, kills you more than 3 times in a row. That’s a sign of insanity and just being generally thick."

LMAO, you have no idea how many times I see people doing this in COD4. They get shot in the face, and come RIGHT back to the very same spot they died.

[SixZeroFour]

exactly...you have no idea how pissed off my buddy get sometimes (even when hes on my account at my house) when he keeps getting killed by some guy and keeps trying to get his revenge only to fail

i even say to him, why dont you just go kill someone else...and his response is usually (if not always) "no, this guys a f**ken noob, im gunna f**cken kill this guy..seriously" and my usual reaction is a *facepalm* lol

im not saying he sucks, hes just got a huge ego and a hot head...never a good combo for fps games and a mic

[MidNite]

Sweet list, but i'd add make sure FPS has auto-aim.

[Nihilism]

lol, thats the number 1 no no, anyone that wants to get anywhere in fps needs that sucker turned off, especially for online mp

[BROOKLYN N-M-E]

Auto-aim can get it's own 10 ten list. lol

[SixZeroFour]

sometimes auto aim gets annoying, especially in cod

there i am aim for someone a couple yards in front of me and start to unload on him with the m4 (take quite a few hits to take someone out when you dont have stopping power) only to have an enemy walk across in front of me and the auto-aim follows him instead of the guy i was unloading on, then someone finish off the kill and i only get the assists...ahahaha

[K-Tuck]

What about goofing off in-game, typing in the middle of a firefight, leaving yourself AFK and letting the team down, or using offensive language at every available opportunity?

[RAM MAGNUMS]

No recycling.

[cyberwaffles]

stupid article.
