A leaderboard is a feature commonly found in FPS (First-Person Shooter) video games that ranks players based on their performance or achievements. It serves as a competitive platform where players can compare their scores, skills, or progress with others.
In the context of FPS games, leaderboards often rank players based on factors such as the number of kills, accuracy, win-loss ratio, or points earned in a match. Some games may also have separate leaderboards for different game modes or levels.
Leaderboards can be global, showing rankings of players from around the world, or local, displaying rankings among a group of friends or members of a specific gaming community. They can be updated in real-time or at set intervals, depending on the game.
By providing a clear ranking system, leaderboards encourage players to improve their skills and strategies, aiming to climb higher in the rankings. They add a competitive element to the game, making it more engaging and challenging.
