Starting out in FPS without cheating: fair play is your best weapon
You can improve fast in a shooter without ever touching a cheat.
When you start an FPS, everything moves too fast and you die without understanding why. That's normal. The urge to install a cheat to "catch up" might cross your mind, but it's the worst move: bans, a wrecked reputation, and above all zero real progress.
Work on fundamentals, not shortcuts
Real skill comes from fundamentals: aiming with your mouse or stick, learning the maps, listening for footsteps. Do a few minutes of aim warm-up before each session, keep a fixed sensitivity, and learn one map at a time.
Review your own matches afterwards: where did you get caught, when did you panic. That review teaches you more than ten games played back-to-back without thinking.
Fair play shows
A clean player gets noticed by the community, invited into teams, respected. A cheater ends up alone. Pick the side that actually makes you better and that follows you throughout your gaming life.
