For example, a tactical FPS (first person shooter) will usually require that you do not have to stand in the open if you want to succeed. And in a frame / sec, find out where to aim in the body with each weapon. Typically, you will find that you have to aim for the head. But more effective firearm in the chest, in most of the game.

In first person shooters, do not use the arrow keys! They look temptingly simple, but the best to use keys WASD is (W forward, left, S Well, D right)., Occasionally ESDF or ESCF be used to replace multiple rooms. This is because with the arrow keys, there are no other buttons for use nearby. Imagine the scene. You are playing one frame / sec, and you need to jump. There is no nearby suitable "jump" button. Or if you need to reload, which is the reload button? You'll have to take his hand out of the scroll key, which is bad in a firefight.

For example, me and my friends want, when we run into the enemy in a hallway, threw himself to the ground and shot the ankle. unorthodox, but it caught us off guard. Do not break the rules of a strategy game. The outcome of a battle never been identified by some crazy plan involves using a unit to send an army.
