What is a "first-person shooter"?
A first-person shooter (FPS) is a type of video game where players control a character from a first-person perspective, meaning they see the game world through the character's eyes. The primary focus is on shooting weapons at enemies or targets while navigating through different environments. FPS games often involve fast-paced action, strategy, and teamwork, especially in multiplayer modes. Popular examples of first-person shooters include Call of Duty and Halo. The genre is known for its intense gameplay and the challenge of aiming and reacting quickly in combat situations.
Examples
