General Tips For FPS Games

First Tip:
Familiarize yourself with the maps. There are places where people camp, places you may fall to your death, and places where you can hide for a moment to reload if you need to. Know your choke points! Knowing the map will make all the difference!

Second Tip:
Look both ways before you cross the road. Remember to treat every action as information, the screen is a book and the action is text, read it, understand it, use it. Notice muzzle flashes, movements of enemies and where your team-mates are. A team-mate shooting is a distraction, A muzzle flash in the distance is to be avoided, Enemy routes are to be remembered and planned accordingly to, if you're fighting across a street and see movement dart down past your far right you need to remember you could get flanked from your right side side, deal with the current problem but make sure another isn't going to suprise you. Assume that threats aren't dealt with until proven otherwise, if some guys are sneaking around don't assume your team-mates will handle them, stay on your toes and keep your eyes open, take in the situation and react before it forces you to.

Third Tip:
Holster that trigger finger! Short bursts are better than full auto unless in a CQB situation. Know when to shoot. This is crucial. If you can not make the shots count then do not take it. If your target is about to go behind cover, let it go. Do not alert them to your presence.

Fourth Tip:
Strafing is the word used to describe movement from left to right while keeping a lock on a target, I find it far more benificial to do. Why?
A moving target is harder to hit and puts added pressure and difficulty on your opponent.

XBOX 360 Tip:
On medium to long shots use your left thumb stick to help with you adjustments on the target. Using the right thumb stick at those ranges tend to under or over compensate when your making adjustments on the target.
