The Book of Gaming Words


18. FPS

First person shooter. Battlefield, Call of Duty, Halo, you name it.

FPS is the acronym for First Person Shooter. This is simple but needs to be understood. If someone says FPS, they mean a game like Halo or Call of Duty in which you control your character from a first person view and shoot things.

17. RTS

Spawn more Zerglings!

This stands for a Real Time Strategy game. Have you ever played any of the older Warcraft games? How about Starcraft, Red Alert, Command & Conquer, or Age of Empires? If you’ve played any of these games, then you should know what an RTS is. You build a base, create units, and destroy the opponent’s base. End of story.
