(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
A first-person shooter (FPS), is an action video game where the player's on-screen view of the game world simulates that of the character. The term first-person shooter derives from the game's first person perspective, and from the fact that the gameplay tends to emphasize shooting. In its most basic sense, the phrase simply means any shooting game with a first person perspective (which would mean games like Wing Commander, Crossbow and many combat flight simulators, etc.).However, the vast majority of people use the phrase to describe a very specific genre which id Software spawned with Wolfenstein 3D. In this genre, the person shooting is not an in vehicle, and the game is tactical rather than strategic. Although the action features many weapons, the tone of the game is arcade like, with the numerous enemies who are easy to kill, while the protagionist is relatively hard to kill, often being able to sustain large numbers of gunshots and recovering by using a first aid kit.
Overview
A large percentage of all new games nowadays are FPSs, almost all playable over the Internet (on non-console platforms), giving rise to another enormous 'net subculture (usually called Clans, especially regarding Quake, considered by many the seminal FPS).Another characteristic of FPSs is the ability, either designed or hacked-in, for players and enthusiasts to create their own levels (see level design) or indeed overall graphical appearance for distribution to other fans (normally, this distribution must be done for free in order to abide by the developers license). This has contributed to the longevity both of the genre and of individual games. Some games now include the software the designers used to make levels, such as Unreal.
Many FPS games are designed with a core game engine, separate from the graphics, game rules, and levels. This enables developers to license the core software to other games. This "plug-in" design allows amateur programmers to add new elements to games, such as new rules, characters or weapons. This process is known as modding.
For many, the appeal of the FPS lies in immersive frantic blasting with a touch of verisimilitude, humour, puzzle-solving and claustrophobia. For others, the single player mode in story oriented games can have compelling narratives which allow for added element of drama in the games.
FPS are among the most demanding users of computing resources, persuading many users to upgrade computers that are still suitable for more mundane tasks. The two pieces of the computer which are most stressed by FPS are the CPU and the graphics card. As a result of FPS, graphics cards began to support 3d hardware rendering. FPS have been the catalyst for development of 3d graphics cards and high end CPU's.
id Software is regarded as, if not the ultimate creator of the FPS genre, certainly the populariser and refiner of it, with the Quake series regarded by many as the definitive games of the genre. Epic's Unreal was also hugely popular and much-imitated. As well as developing games themselves, these two companies actively license their game engines to third parties for use in other games.
Sub-genres include the stealth-based game (also known as a "first-person sneaker") and the tactical shooter, which use a similar viewpoint and mechanics, but respectively emphasise avoiding detection and team-based tactics. These are now regarded as being distinct from FPSs in computer games magazines. Thief exemplifies the stealth-based game; Rainbow 6, Ghost Recon, and other games based on novels by Tom Clancy are seminal tactical shooters.
History
The original FPS was the game Spasim published in spring of 1974. It was a wire-frame 3D universe resembling the 2D game Empire (which became Netrek). Spasim lacked even hidden lines but it was multiplayer over the world-wide PLATO network.
The first flat-polygon (hidden surface) game was the single-player Colony (1987?). It lacked textured walls, floors, etc. Other FPS games of the flat-polygon era include Faceball 2000, and MIDI Maze (for Atari-ST), notable for its networked multiplayer feature (using the MIDI interface, of all things).
Other early examples of first person games are Rescue on Fractalus, The Eidolon, Way Out and of course various simulators such as Microsoft Flight Simulator.
The first first person shooter with colored walls, floors is probably Hovertank 3D (April 1991), but textured walls and the concept of showing the player's hand only appeared in Catacomb 3D (a.k.a. The Catacomb Abyss) (late 1991).
But it wasn't until Wolfenstein 3D (1992) from id Software the term first-person shooter had to be invented. Wolfenstein 3D was shortly supplanted (1993) by the genre-defining DOOM, which introduced network multiplayer capabilities and thereby guaranteed the persistence of the FPS in gaming formats; the real thrill of these already-atmospheric games comes from blasting colleagues, strangers, spouses etc.
Of historical note, among the early heirs of Spasim were First Person Shooter 3D games such as:
- Battlezone - is this the earliest commercial first person shooter
- Tail Gunner - fixed screen shooter with 3d aspects
Controversy
Some groups have blamed first person shooters - the usual poster boy for video game violence - for certain spree killings, particularly using sniper rifles. For example, there was much contreversy in the United States that the Columbine High School massacre was a result of the attackers having played a great deal of the FPS Doom. Years later, there was much speculation in the UK media that the Beltway sniper attacks were inspired by first-person shooters and games such as Grand Theft Auto that have first-person shooter elements.
As of yet, there is no clinical proof that violent video games such as FPSs contribute to violent behavior. Gathering actual evidence for such a subject, however, is difficult and hard to verify. Some psychologists claim that such games actually prevent violent behavior by providing a safe outlet for aggression. But opponents to this view counter that the aggressive behavior is actually encouraged by this genre of games. Today the controversy rages on, with little hope of a resolution.
Most FPS games have a voluntary ESRB rating of T (for Teen) or M (for Mature audiences), but sale of these games to children is not moderated or enforced. There is no national law prohibiting sale of such games to children, but bills have recently been proposed that would prohibit the sale of games to customers under the ERSB rating's age. Video game industry professionals oppose such a law, citing that the ESRB is a voluntary rating and similar rated materials are not regulated, such as the MPAA film rating system's minumum age for movie patrons.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Shooting is the act of causing a gun to fire at a target.Shooting also describes sports events where people test their accuracy by firing weapons at artificial, especially designed targets. There are several types of shooting events using different weapons shooting different types of targets (some moving, some static) over different distances.
The shooting sports may be usefully broken down by type of gun. For the pistol, there are various Olympic-style sports (?) and two major organizations for what is known as "practical shooting", IPSC and IDPA. For the rifle, there are... For the shotgun, there are a variety of clay target sports.
Shooting technique
Precision markmanship in shooting competition (unlike in combat) can be achieved by proper execution of the seven step checklist in shooting:Close your eyes and raise the gun naturally without thinking, open your eyes to see where your natural arm position points to. Move your feet along with your body to align the arm with the target. That is the best stance compared to pointing straight forward. Your body is less likely to move in this natural position when the trigger is pulled. Feet should be slightly apart. The shooting arm extended with straight elbow. Proper stance for two hand shooting can be achieved in similar way, though the natural stance will definitely be different.
- Stance
There should be no gap between the top of the grip and the part of hand between the thumb and the index finger. This prevent slipage when the gun recoils.
- Grip
The eye, the sight at the tip and the back of the gun must align first. The front and back sights must be aligned both in the X and Y axis.
- Sight alignment
Align the "aligned sights" to the target.
- Target alignment
Breathing can introduce movement and hence affect accuracy.
- Hold breath
A quick motion of the finger will jerk the gun and change the aim. Instead, squeeze the trigger slowly and steadily. You should not anticipate the exact moment of firing. The anticipation actually makes you nervous and causes unconscious movement in your hand which affects accuracy. The firing should come as a surprise in every shot.
- Trigger squeeze
After the firing, align the sights with the target again. According to shooting coaches, the discipline of realigning the gun to the target after the bullet has left the barrel somehow improves the steadiness of the hand, probably due to unconscious muscle memory that works against the recoil.
