| '''First-person shooters''' are a genre of video game. You play looking from the character's eyes, I.E. from the first-person perspective, whomever that may be.

| | |
| == History ==
| |
| The first person shooter that brought it into the world was the game [[wikipedia:Battlezone|Battlezone]], although the first game to make it truly popular was [[wikipedia:ID Software|ID Software]]'s [[wikipedia:Wolfenstien 3D|Wolfenstein 3D]].
| |
| | |
| ID Software's next game, [[wikipedia:Doom|Doom]] truly established the genre, with it's many evolutionary leaps forward, including the ability for players to move in three axes via stairs and with it's inclusion of [[multiplayer]] modes, allowing players to play with or against each other over a distance for the first time.
| |
| | |
| [[Halo: Combat Evolved]], [[Halo 2]], and [[Halo 3]] are also first-person shooters, although when you enter [[Vehicles|vehicles]] or [[turret|turrets]] the view changes to third-person.
| |
| | |
| == First-Person in Halo ==
| |
| | |
| The first [[Halo]] game introduced few changes to the idea of a first person shooter. However [[Halo 2]] introduced an interesting aspect never before seen: The character's own body. In most other first person shooters, when the character looks down they see only a shadow below them, as though they are a magical head and gun floating throughout the levels. However in [[Halo 2]] when the character looks down, they see their own body. Characters are able to see themselves run, jump, stand or even stick a [[Plasma Grenade]] to their feet because their body exists in real-time during the game. The exact same happens on the next Halo game, [[Halo 3]].
