enemies does nothing unless it’s specifically intended as a suppression fire,
as the common practice on tactical shooters. One of the most common factors

weapon efficiently, most especially in a competitive play. Improve your
targeting by tweaking your game setting as well as your playing style.

Chapter 4:
Weapons
Synopsis
Shooting games are the type of games that basically require players to use a wide array of weapons in order for them to fight his/her way all through whatever enemies they encounter and come across for them to proceed, and not die – this is typically the main goal of the shooting game. These shooter games are ideal for those gamers who are fond of, and are very thrilled by action packed and thrilling, adrenaline pumping gaming actions that only shooter games can deliver.
A Big Job Needs a Big Weapon
In the world
of online shooting games, overkill is basically a concern. So, the question is
how will you gauge whether those weapons according to your choice are the ideal
weapons or just flat out unintelligent? It’s simple! You just need to ask
yourself if these weapons or firearms will be a true benefit on battlefield, or
if those weapons are assured mass destruction.
If your
weapons of choice allow you to positively, absolutely kill every enemy in the
game and let you walk away well done, and clean, then your weapons are
calibrated correctly. If by using that specific weapon would likely to destroy
the enemy, yourself, everyone and almost everything in a three hundred mile
radius, leaving only steaming craters filled with charcoal and glass, then you
should definitely watch out. There is a high chance that you are equipped with
one of the shooter games’ most ludicrously and extremely impractical weapons.
Your choice of
weapons in a shooter game will make or break your gaming experience. It can
influence how effective of a player you can be during the game. Specific
weapons are basically designed for specific things, and utilizing an excellent
weapon that can compliment your own playing style can definitely aid you in
racking up your points!
You will find that majority, if not literally, all shooter games have similar categories of weapons. In a shooting game, you will usually encounter weapons that are commonly called as Assault type of weapons. These are guns that is considered ‘jacks of all trades and a ‘good all rounder’. Usually, such weapons have decent rates of good accuracy and fire over the medium distances. Because of these weapons’ versatility, they’re generally the kind of guns that are used and preferred most often.
Another one of
the most common, old faithful weapons is the ‘Pistol’ or ‘Sidearm’ type of gun.
These weapons are mostly small, quite weak guns that are being used as back up
to the main weapon. In general, they do not do many damages and are usually
being used as last resort especially if the ammo of the main gun has run out.
However, these weapons are extremely accurate over shot distances not to
mention that they can actually make the difference from losing or winning the
gunfight.
Some common
realistic shooting games offer SMG gun or submachine gun. These weapons are
smaller versions of the Assault type of weapons. In physical, they are much
smaller guns that have great accuracy over short distances to mid distances. In
addition to that, there are also less powerful, however, they are more capable
in some close quarters gun fights because of their utmost accuracy.
Another common
type of weapons that you can see in most shooter games is the sniper type of
gun. These weapons are generally designed for long range, accurate shooting.
And they normally have sufficient amount of power to easily drop your enemy
with just one or two bullets. Sniper weapons in general, if not always, have
smaller capacity and slower fire rate.
Some shooter games have shotgun class of weapons that are often devastating and powerful on short range, and usually one shot kills. These are extremely effective weapons especially if you are an aggressive type of player. However, you have to be quite close to the target for these guns to do the job for you, if you are not in a touching distance, then these guns wouldn’t do much damage, rendering these guns useless!
Then, you can
also find the common Heavy kind of weapons. These guns typically have large
capacity and high fire rate, and they are basically designed to do lots of
damages quickly! The only problem with these awesome weapons is that they are
commonly less accurate, they take time to reload, and there are cases that your
character will move slower while you are holding this gun and this is because
of their weight and size.
In lots of shooter games, you can also encounter power weapons. These guns are typically heavy weapons that have slower fire rate and have devastating impact to their targets. Usually, they are being used to easily take out multiple enemies or vehicles with just one shot. A good example is the rocket launcher.
Chapter 5:
Maps
Synopsis
One of the most common essential elements that you can usually see in most shooter games is the maps. Well, this is very important in a game for it serves as your guide within the place, making the shooting game much easier and convenient for you to play. However, it is essential that you know how to make good use of it for you to reap its maximum benefits in the game.
Know and Use the Maps to Your Advantage
Knowing all
about maps in the shooter game extremely well can prove to be very helpful
especially in some multiplayer games, but knowing well the terrains from any
map can serve not only one purpose but actually more. In a single player as
well as multi player shooter games, using the current environment inside the
given map in order to avoid enemy attacks and take cover will be critical in
staying alive within the game.
Thus, you need
to make use of the outlet that the environment and map offer you, hiding behind
barrels, ducking behind walls, or whatever it will take just to stay in a safe
place. One good tip most especially in time when you taking heavy attacked from
the enemies is for you to stay in cover until the time that you hear your
enemies reload, then that’s the time that you should go out of your safe haven
to blast the out while they’re reloading.
Maps serve an
important function in the shooter games. Thanks to this map, you will be able
to know your location, letting your roam around the area cautiously. Also, with
the use of the maps, you can also see where the enemies are hiding, giving you
a chance to build up a strategy.
Another good
thing about these maps is the fact that it shows you the different directions
that you can take in order for you to successfully win the game. Imagine how
hard the game could be without it. Imagine how confusing the place could be
without the help of the maps.
There are
actually lots of advantages when you know how to read and analyze what the map
is telling you. Thus, if you really love playing shooter 20
games, then you should definitely teach yourself how to make
good use of maps.
Most shooter
games, if not all, contain a map. In fact, this is actually one of the most
essential parts of the game that most gamers continue to rely on during the
game. Without it, shooter games will seem extremely difficult to play most
especially to the beginners.
Maps are only
present in shooter games but in other types of games as well. Well, it’s among
the most commonly sought after parts of the games that most gamers try to find
instantly when they play a certain game.
Now that you know how essential a map is in every shooter game, perhaps you should try practicing yourself whether you really are good in understanding and knowing the map.
Chapter 6:
Practicing
Synopsis
“Practice makes perfect”, sure it is an old cliché, but it usually holds true in most cases of game strategies especially in shooter games. Of course, your first try of a shooting game can be intimidating and a mess, and you will more likely to find yourself killed more times as compared to being alive. However, as you essentially become quite familiar with this game, you will get better from time to time.

actually different variations of this type of game; from common target shooting
games to thrilling time restricted precision games.

You Can
Beat Shooter Games Through Practicing – Factors That You Should Master
Accuracy: Accuracy is extremely essential in these games.
You need to hit the target in least tries as possible. There are some shooter
games that basically require reloading bullets. In this case, you are better
off getting your shots essentially squared away, or else, your enemies will
have better chance of hitting you especially the moment that your bullets run
out. So, if you want to be good at shooting games, practicing your accuracy is
vital.
Focus and Presence of Mind: Some shooter games are considered strategy games. This only means that you’re not fixed at certain positions. Instead, you’re actually moving and roaming around the area. The freedom of moving enables you to cautiously dodge the bullets, hide at places, or even kill enemies better and faster. However, you need to practice you skills at this – also in reading the maps. Think like you are inside one military mission – think strategically in order to win the game. Remember, it takes time and practice before you get the hang of it.
Upgrading Your Weapons Also Takes Practice: In these
shooter games, your fate actually relies mainly on the weapons. So, choosing
the right guns is vital and it also takes practice on your part. Wrong weapon
choice can lead to disaster, so make the right choice. If you intend to burn
the building, you don’t use shotguns. Some shooter games enable player to
change weapons.
Practicing
Will Make You A Better Player: Remember, shooter games are also strategic and
skill games. You need to practice your hands and eyes for it. Playing these
games few minutes a day can improve your skills and can make you even more
familiar and expert in this game.

JOYSTICKS MAKE GAME MORE ATTRACTIVE
Chapter 7:
Single Play or Multi Play
Synopsis
The options for shooter games are quite endless online. There are single play shooter games and there are also multi play shooter games available for you to choose. How about you? Which type suits you best, single player or multiplayer? Well, it depends upon your personal preference.
Single Play or Multi Play - The Pros and Cons
Shooter games
fall into 2 categories: the single play gaming and the Multi Play gaming.
Single play gaming is one of the most traditional forms of gaming, and it is
what most gamers remember during childhood. Single player shooting games are
those games in which one person can actually play all through the levels toward
completion.
Multi play
gaming, alternatively, is shooting games that basically rely on massive multi
player experiences that are being facilitated through online connections.
Multiplayer shooter games have numerous ranking systems, levels, as well as
obstacles for gamers to navigate throughout either by themselves or in team.
Multi play
gaming in shooting games have advantages and disadvantages, but I’s safe to
state that it’s currently the most sought after, leading game play for and
preferred by thousands and thousands of players worldwide.
Online gaming
network is continuously growing. With more online connections being created every
day, the gaming network is getting stronger day by day. Online gaming offers
gamers with an excellent arena where they can easily improve their abilities
and skills, enhance their capabilities in gaming and also offers an excellent
outlet for socialization.
Multi play gaming also allows gamers to spend much less to entertainment. For a fee of few dollars per game, and the charge of established connection, gamers are provided countless hours to play. Unlike the traditional, single play gaming, multi play games can actually be played again and again.
As online network and technology becomes stronger, shooting
games are also becoming more advanced, lengthening the number of game play
that’s available. Single play shooter games, alternatively, have a concept of
completion. Lacks of replays value on single play games make the gaming
experience more expensive as compared to those with Multi play platforms.
Online gaming
network is quite knit tightly, but this also means that there’s lots of taking
going on during the gaming sessions. Multi play games are also known for having
problems and issues with players getting too much riled up. There’s also very
competitive atmosphere in multi play shooter games that do not exist in single
play shooter games. The great competitiveness of shooter games also lead to
game addictions, which can easily take full control of one’s life. Traditional
shooter games, on the contrary, have lower instances of addiction because they
do not feed into a need of competitiveness and they don’t fulfill social
aspects that multi play games actually do.
Both single play shooter games and multi play shooter games have their own advantages and disadvantages. Both of these gaming platforms offer gamers outlet for boredom and some sense of accomplishment while they work on through the levels of the games. The differences boil down to players’ preferred platform of gaming.
