Tactical FPS (First-Person Shooter) refers to a subgenre of first-person shooter video games that emphasize realistic gameplay, strategic planning, and teamwork over fast-paced action. In tactical FPS games, players are often required to adopt careful strategies, utilize communication and coordination with teammates, and approach combat situations with a focus on tactics rather than reflexes alone.

These games typically feature realistic weapon mechanics, player abilities, and environmental interactions, which contribute to a more methodical pace of gameplay. Players may need to use stealth, cover, and positioning to achieve objectives, rather than relying solely on shooting skills. Tactical FPS games often include elements such as squad-based gameplay, objectives that require collaboration, and game modes that encourage strategic thinking. Examples include games like “Rainbow Six Siege,” “Counter-Strike,” and ” insurgency.” The emphasis on strategy and tactics distinguishes tactical FPS games from more arcade-like shooters that prioritize speed and individual skill over teamwork and planning.
