Swear...I just tried to play my first FPS since the first Halo and yeah. I suck. How do I do this?!

It takes lots and lots of practice. Lots and lots.

The only first person shooter I have ever played was Goldeneye 007 for the NG4. Okay, I also played Metroid Prime for the GC...does that count? Anyway I never got into first person shooters. I really don't see the appeal to them. I enjoyed playing Goldeneye as kid. I think watching my brother play helped me enjoyed the game. Also playing the multiplayer mode with him was really fun.

I completely fail at FPS games XD Plus they get me sick somewhat too. The only form of FPS is the style that Resident Evil 4 was done in and even at that, I was struggling (lol).

My hubby laughs at me when I play a FPS because I'll be shooting at nothing and singing "Look at me - I'm shooting in the sky and not the villain. I suck at FPS".

Hehe, can you imagine playing these games on a drinking game?

lol you guys! Inocentvenus is right, it takes practice to gain like some sort of precision to these games. I used to play Halo with my cousin. He 'almost' always beat me but we would have tons of fun teasing one another. We spent HOURS playing in the multiplayer versus and mission mode.

With RE my sister would always sit beside me and I would play. I remember that whenever a zombie came unexpected we would scream like we were being killed yourself, It didn't help that the volume was really high No matter what I would always scream at the part when the guy with the chainsaw and the helmet so I couldn't shot to the head.

LMAO!!! I remember that character - My hubby and I were always in a panic frenzy when it came up. *giggle* Gotta love RE4.

Best game ever!! I loved the suspense

I have a hard enough problem shooting worth a damn in third-person-shooters like Mass Effect. I'm completely lost on most FPS and end up wasting more ammo than I can afford. I wasn't so bad on the original Doom game for the Sega or Metroid Prime but on a game like Halo Reach or FEAR? I'm just terrible. It doesn't help that I'm not all that drawn to FPS as a genre so I don't have much incentive to learn.

My favourite FPSs are Valve's games ^^ TF2, Half Life, COunter Strike, Left 4 Dead, they are simply my favourites.
I prefer to play those games on PC. It's always better for me to aim with a mouse rather than with a controller

Wolfenstein 3d, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Call of Duty 1 and 2 are the FPS games I remember fondly. Nowadays I hit up planetside 2 when I feel like shooting.

The only FPS I've ever played was jericho by Clive Barker and the only reason I played that was cause Clive Barker put his name on it. It took some getting used to but I got really good at it. However that doesn't mean that I'm any good at any of the other FPS. I'm more of a RPG person really.

I tried to play Halo 4 with my boyfriend on his xbox360,
I think in half an hour i managed to shoot and kill 2 enemies. and like 3 melee kills -.-'
I need a "super easy" mode... =(
