A Fireteam refers to a small group of players who team up to accomplish objectives in a First-Person Shooter (FPS) video game. Typically, a Fireteam consists of two to four players, but the exact number can vary depending on the game.
In the context of an FPS game, the members of a Fireteam often have different roles or specializations, such as a sniper, medic, or assault trooper, each contributing unique skills to the team. This encourages strategic gameplay and cooperation among players, as they must work together to overcome challenges, complete missions, or defeat enemy teams.
Fireteams can be formed among friends or through matchmaking systems within the game, which pair players together based on factors like skill level or game mode preference. Being part of a Fireteam can enhance the gaming experience by fostering camaraderie and teamwork, and often provides opportunities for more complex strategies and tactics than solo play.
