I need a good Training FPS

[Mylinkay Asdara]

I got my FPS legs under me with Metal Gear Solid Guns of the Patriots - started on super easy and worked my way through to Big Boss. It's paced thing, with story, and it gives you a lot of different gun options to learn with. My BF wanted me to play with him on FPS and I was made of suck and fail - the nice thing about this title was it had enough story (Lots of story and CS) to reward my efforts from the game - and not directly from him praising me and it doesn't have the "waves of enemies regenerate all the time if you aren't fast enough" factor that the COD Games have.

Serious Sam. If that's not an FPS trainer I don't know what is.

Exactly that, it requires all the basics of FPS shooting and the charging enemies will make you learn them well, on the easiest setting it also gives you enough time.

And for the love of god don't let her go near any competitive online shooters.

counter-strike, if it weren't for this game i would be far below average in the fps field might have gotten a lot better if the internet cafe me and my friends went to to play it hadn't gone out of business

Painkiller requires all basic FPS skills and is difficult but fair. If you die, you weren't moving around enough.

 

[AntonicKnight]

Half-Life

Halo 3 is rather easy and all COD games (I think) and KZ3 have training levels at the start.

 

[phereck]

I'd have to say any of the quakes or unreal games

TF2 features complex strategies that throw a person off his training.

Hard to accomplish, I warn you. If you don't get results, don't expect them to grow. You can train your muscles for your twitch reflexes, but your reaction time depends with age - not training.

CS:S Gun Game in reverse order to develop quick precision and understanding of different weapon types in FPS games. Then some COD4/MW2 to adapt those skills to more modern games that use ADS. Some Q3/UT3/SS will be beneficial if you want to improve that style of FPS.

Chuck in some Doom 1/2 and then Quake 1-3, CS 1.6, Half-Life, BF1942, HL2 and the Episodes if you want her to understand how the genre has progressed. COD 1 and 2 could fit in there too.

Ok first of all no I don't mean for real life, I know the vast difference between pulling a trigger and pushing a button in a game. Second I only really play PC anymore, so I need suggestions for that.

It boils down to this, my GF just got into FPS games. Borderlands in fact which doesn't really teach you how to shoot. Although competent enough to head shot, she all in all sucks when it comes to FPS. I want to find a game that might teach her more of the ropes. All I can think of is Call of Duty 4 MW with the training mission in the start.

I like to watch her play, but every time I shake my head and sigh when she doesn't strafe and just stands there getting shot down. So any games that can sort of help improve FPS gaming skills?

Counterstrike.

I'm gonna go with TF2 aswell on this one. It's free and there are plenty of weapons to play around and practice with. Also, it really is shit loads of fun.

the rainbow six vegas games reward accuracy and good fps habits plus terrorist hunt mode is great training.

You know the responses to this thread are exactly the same as the 'what is your favourite FPS' threads?

That said, Halo 1 and Half-Life 2 are great for teaching you how to play FPSes!

 

[Anti Nudist Cupcake]

she can practice against bots in either counter strike or pezbot mod for cod4.

 

[John Appleby]

HOMEFRONT. Is likely the best bet, fun game not stressful like most FPS

 

[Wintermoot]

I think any FPS will do I learned FPS from HL2 and it was more of a crash course.

 

[Coldster]

Team Fortress 2 is a great FPS for everyone. It even makes you think! I know! An FPS that makes you think about what you're doing while playing, it is purely amazing. Try it.

By thinking outside the box, I would give you a much better suggestion, that I think will teach your gf the movement of any and all FPS-s quite fast and without any frustration. Will teach her to strafe, jump and so on. It is not a first person shooter, but you do move around in it like it is. It's..a ball game (yes I said it!)

I cannot remember its name, but what I do remember is that you could move with ASDW, jump with space, watch around freely with a mouse and needed to combine all previously mentioned to complete..erm..puzzles I guess? It also had all kinds of fun powerups, like speed, jump, gravity change, helicopter (yeah, it sounds ridiculous, i'll admit), which you initiated with left mouse click..so yeah.

I think the game was crazy fun and it is probably quite old too by now, so you'll get it for free. Sorry for I cannot remember it's name. (Don't think Puzzle Dimension, Ballance or Switchball....it's not puzzle-y like them, although they are great games aswell.)

Aaight!


EDIT: 10 minutes of my superior google-ing skills, I came up with a name - Marble Blast Gold!

YouTube vids are shitty to give you idea of what that game is, but give it a 3 minute try yourself: http://marble-blast-gold.en.softonic.com/

Oh and give it a rest with all the TF2 and Half-Life propaganda all ready! They're great games, but I'm so sick of everyone still talking about them.

Quake 3 is what trained me. I think it was released as freeware, but I am not 100% on that.

CoD black ops ( or mw2 cant remember ) has a firing range mode thing , it could be usefull to help her with her targer practice without the death as a setback
