Newcomers to the FPS genre who want to get bamboozled with a new experience will want to try Splitgate. This FPS takes players to the classic arena shooter format, with its own share of futuristic weapons and a diverse set of maps that make each match a visual feast. However, unique to Splitgate is its portal mechanics, where players can set portals on specific surfaces. In turn, players get a whole different experience when it comes to positioning - arguably one of the most important elements in FPS ga

Hunt: Showdown is one of the most unique first-person shooters on the market. It tasks players to go into a monster-filled 1870s bayou with nothing but break-action shotguns, lever-action rifles, and many other historical weapons . It plays unlike nearly any other competitive shooter, as it lacks fully automatic weapons and prioritizes patience and accuracy when fir

Gameplay-wise, Black Squad certainly boasts decent graphics and sounds for a free title. Despite its graphical strength, the small maps do mean players get into action much faster than in other games, much to the chagrin of some FPS fans. Regardless, the game remains reminiscent of Counter-Strike gameplay, where fast-paced combat is replaced by tactical approaches. This game is a good option for fans who want to get more strategic with their FPS experie

Thanks to the game's extremely straightforward mechanics, Team Fortress remains one of the easiest FPS titles to get into. Its class-based system makes it easy for players to get into sub-genres such as hero shooters, whereas its combat paves the way for more fast-paced tit

One of these is its CT-sided nature, which is likely what Nuke is most known for. While it was always a popular map despite this reputation, the casual and professional scene responded very positively to the changes. While many would argue it remains largely CT-sided, strong teams, structured or not, have options to be effective on the T-side creating a nice balance. Nuke remains in the Top 3 to 4 most-played maps in both casual and competitive pl

On its launch in 2015, Rainbow Six Siege had 20 unlockable operators for players to choose from, and a small pool of maps. Now, seven years later, the SLG Game Heroes sports 63 playable operators and 21 maps. Rainbow Six Siege was already difficult for new players thanks to its large maps, destructibility, and layered strategy that requires good team play and communication. Now, with 63 operators and a massive player base, new players are often completely overwhel

Call Of Duty: Warzone is the much-awaited Call Of Duty take on the battle royale genre. A completely free game for Call Of Duty newcomers and savants alike, Call Of Duty: Warzone is a very grounded approach to the battle royale genre with unique takes on mechanics. Exclusive to Warzone is the Gulag, or a post-death zone where players have to fight to the death to earn the "right" to be respawned back into the battlefi

However, although it is a good idea for players to land near their teammates, it should also be stressed that teammates should not stay too close together for the duration of the match, as doing this may result in both of them getting assassinated at the same time, resulting in a quick and untimely match loss. Therefore, players should be vigilant of one another's presence but should keep a safe enough distance to prevent this from happen

Unlike other FPS titles, Warface also lets players customize their characters with a wide variety of unlockable equipment. Some of this equipment also have stat upgrades, giving their characters slight boosts to augment their combat roles. Weapons also contain customizable attachments, all of which have unique effects. In turn, players enter a game mode with a toolkit that perfectly fits their game st

By far the most common mistake that many new players make in Danger Zone is redeploying in heavily contested areas on the map. These are zones where several teams may be fighting at once, making it a dangerous area to redeploy i

Compared to other multiplayer FPS , Quake Champions is extremely similar to the core Quake that puts a huge emphasis on fast-paced gameplay . Thanks in part to its accessible and straightforward gameplay, newcomers to the genre will find themselves developing essential skills needed to play most other FPS titles in the market. Newcomers can barely feel the demand in skill and reflexes Quake Champions imposes as matches get crazy fun quickly, helping beginners grow their "gamer sense" and instincts much fas

If players have mouse buttons, then it is highly advisable for them to bind the "ping" input to one of these buttons, as this way, it will be easy and efficient to use. Without pinging (and especially without the verbal communication that doesn't occur in most matches), it can be incredibly difficult for teammates to communicate with each other at all. Therefore, players should rely on this simple but essential way to guide the course of their team play throughout a round of Danger Zo
