Also you have to be prepared to play for 4-8 hours a day to become consistantly skilled, and not just doing "lucky" randomized shots. Movement patterns are important to get a hang of in most FPS games, and like said its a very good idea to study the 1on1s watch their movement closely- Also the faster you can get into an mIRC channel where the really good players hang out the better, it will keep a friendly atmosphere and you can skill up faster without the pesky lamers you run into on a public server. And for those saying physically fit doesnt have a say when it comes to pro-gaming is wrong. Look at le mans drivers or f1 drivers they are fit as hell, cuz they need it to be able to keep a steady arm, as will you when it comes to an official match where your nerves twitch and you sweat and panic. In that moment you will be more able to keep a steady hand to aim/move without twitches or any distracting discomfort.

Wtf? Stay or become physically fit... Ha,ha,ha. Your a joke. Im guessing you needed a tenth step so you decided to think up anything. Becoming Physically fit is not going to heighten you fps skills. This guy is just racist to fat people :p, lol. No but in all seriousness being fit is not going to effect your skills. Its not like your actually running around shooting people.... All iv got to say is that you are a joke. And no i am not a fat loser with no life, trolling.I got a gf,and ig2 school. Umm… Wtf? Stay or become physically fit… Ha,ha,ha. Your a joke.

I am wondering about tip number 4. I would like to know more about how being physically fit plays a role in how well you play fps games. I've been looking for more reasons to get in shape, and I really enjoy fps games so understanding how that they correlate with each other would be motivating. Thanks! Some good tips here.

Keep playing with noobs and you'll end up becoming more noob than them cause they will be improving and learning from you constantly owning them. You will truly be the biggest noob when u found out that the noob you owned last time is now back to F you up. I too was a competitive player for a decade and have won numerous competitions.

The best way to learn how to play and to improve your skills is to constantly lose to players much better than you and to observe how they're destroying you. Purely decimating noobs-only servers isn't going to get you anywhere, ever. In case you still haven't given this any thought whatsoever I'll just spell it out for you: When you're constantly playing below your level / winning: - You're not being challenged or motivated to improve. - You're not playing at your maximum ability. - You're not analyzing your games. - You're not pointed to flaws in your play. When you're constantly losing: - You're constantly being motivated to improve. - You're constantly playing at your peak skill level. - You're analyzing every game to see what went wrong. - You're confronted with clear examples of how to play better every single match. If you think I suck for saying this, then you're deluded. Ask any StarCraft 2 or Quake Live pro how they got to their skill level and they'll give you the exact same advice: play against (and with) people better than you. I could go on to list a whole slew of things I've won and rankings I've attained, both in the FPS genre and in other genres, but that's besides the point and you can easily look some of those up on this site anyway.
