1. MAPS
maps should have very close engagements and a lot of corners, but also a couple of very long ranged spots for long ranged weapons. There should not be a lot of medium ranged spots and or engagements. Also, there has to be a lot of cover.
PRO :
- the game will be more based on aiming skill and reflexes.
- both long ranged and short ranged weapons have their own uses.
- cover makes sure people will not get killed while reloading.
- gameplay will be lot more intense.
CON :
- camping will be very possible. Make sure there are a lot of ways to access one spot.
2. LOADOUTS
loadouts should be a small variety of weapons with a lot of possible attachments, combinations, etc.
PRO :
- people will have their own unique playing style.
3. WEAPONS
all weapons should have their own stats :
rate of fire
damage per round
range
recoil
accuracy
recoil should be kept very low when aiming down sights.
your guns should be all extremely accurate, except for shotguns and launchers.
PRO :
- your fps will be more skill based
CON :
- lag might be more likely to show up
4. MOVEMENT
players should generally walk and run fast but walk slow while reloading or adsing. firing while walking should increase recoil a little bit when not adsing.
there can be an option to crouch and prone but this can cause camping.
PRO :
- the game will be considered more realistic
5. AMMO REFILLING
there should be an option to refill ammo or pick up a dead person's gun. this way you cannot be stuck in the game by having no ammo. retrieving ammo from dead people's bodies can be a good option too.
PRO :
- good players will not be capped by the amount of ammo they have.
6. GAME MODES
a good fps needs a TDM game mode, unless it is not meant for that. random mixes of game modes are generally speaking not that good since players will probably favor one.
PRO :
- more game modes means more options.
7. HUD
heads-up display is the best way to show ammo, health, etc. since the player does not have to look away from their current screen.
PRO :
- more intense gameplay
8. ADS
aiming down sights is probably the most important element and key to a good game. it should not take long to ads. ads should increase accuracy, damage, range and reduce field of view and recoil.
PRO :
- more intense gameplay
- game tends to be more skill based
Thankyou for reading this guide. I hope you enjoyed it!

You don't need first hand development experience to know what makes a good game great. This person makes a lot of good points that game creators could take from. |
|
|
He doesn't have a 'good skill based FPS' so I don't know how he can say what's good for them. |

if we do not share the same opinion, that's fine, but atleast share some constructive criticism. |
|
|
It's a fair guide, but if you had some FPS-creating experience I would trust you loads more. |

That you don't have to have experience in order to be able to create something. In that case no one would have experience and we would never be able to accomplish anything. |
|
|
You need experience to accomplish something like a good FPS... |

We are only talking about the person who posted this thread and he clearly barely has any experience and made unique points. |
|
|
"Amazing games"
a) Biased opinion.
b) Freemodels.
c) No skill. |

Tappier true which is WHY WE ARE WAITING FOR HIM TO CREATE IT. So you can't say crap until he actually creates it. |

"And you have so much experience?"
Yes, that was very terrifying and it hurt billions of people. That statement alone destoyed countries. /sarcasm
"Tappier true which is WHY WE ARE WAITING FOR HIM TO CREATE IT. So you can't say crap until he actually creates it."
And you cannot say it's a good game until he creates it.
Get out, child. |
