This was why I liked APB. It was to FPSes like Team Fortress 2 what Enemy At The Gates is to Rambo. The pace of combat was nowhere near as frenetic, and it required more tactics than reflexes; if you could outthink your opponent, you could negate their twitch skills, and there were vanishingly few circumstances where there was only one solution to a problem.
Shame it died such an early death.
Yep. Runs on your browser too.
You should be using only a very few buttons; most of the control is from the mouse. And a trackball is nothing like a mouse.
Personally, what I find helps is to shoot enemies in midair, when they have little or no control over their motion. I pre-position the crosshairs at a point where they will be, and then shoot when they get there, so it becomes a matter of timing, not aim. This probably isn’t as viable in the more realistic games, though, without longjump ramps and bounce pads.
seconded!
Thats why you switch from FPS to flight sims, do a shake and bake from 5000 feet and use the 20 mike mike to shred the remaining crunchies.
