By Qingyang Li

There are five steps you need to do before becoming a FPS master.

1.Acknowledge your computer devices

You need to know your screen resolution, type of your mouse, and if your mouse can be supported by driven.
In normal way, if you want to play well in a FPS game, The higher of your screen resolution and refresh rate, the better your experience you will be. and if your FPS( Frames per second) below 30, you will feel lag, and cause you dying quickly. So, your computer should be very good to support you.

2.Adjust your device.

There is a function called " Enhance pointer precision, AKA EPP " in every windows system, this function can affect your mouse pointer movement by the speed you move your mouse.
FPS game require you control your mouse precisely, it's a good choice to close the EPP.
DPI (Dots Per Inch) also can affect your pointer movement during the game, we only can use mouse drive to change it, and the lower your mouse DPI ,the better you shoot the targets, but at mean while your camera will hard to move around , if your targets show up behind you suddenly, and you have to use more time to turn around.

3.Change game option

An example of Counter Strike Global Offensive

When you change your screen resolution to 16:9, it is how you see in the first picture.And second picture is when you change it to 4:3.


After compare two pictures, it is obviously that Targets are larger in 4:3 but 16:9 is more clearly.According to change the resolution , you can improve your shoot skill temporary.

4.Good view.

It is important to find your targets first before they find you.This time, we can go to option of the FPS games to adjust the graphic option. There is an example, the games are more like real world now, because everywhere in the games are too real ,sometimes you couldn't find out a target stand there at first time. After change some graphic option, environment in games will not be so real, it's more easily for you to find out targets.

5.Start your training.

A software called Aimbooster, it's a little game, the main purpose of this game is to practice your hand reaction time and the accuracy when you shooting. After some practice , it's called " muscle memory " your hand will remember this feeling and when you are playing FPS game, it is more accuracy when you shoot.
