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.
