How many questions are in this quiz?

This quiz has 144 questions on FPS movement tech terms and mechanics.

Is there a timer or speed limit while answering?

No. Every question has 4 options and there’s no timer, so you can answer at your own pace.

What difficulty is this quiz set to?

It’s Mixed difficulty, combining straightforward terminology with more technical mechanics and exceptions.

Can I choose how many questions to play?

Yes. You can select the question count and difficulty before starting to tailor the session length and challenge.

What mistakes do players commonly make on movement tech questions?

Common errors include confusing similar terms, ignoring on-ground vs. in-air conditions, and assuming one game engine’s movement rules apply universally.

FPS movement tech: terms & mechanics

About this quiz

What this quiz covers

Movement tech is more than slang—it’s the rules of acceleration, friction, and input timing. You’ll identify terms and match them to the mechanic they describe across different FPS styles.

Each question is multiple-choice with 4 options and no timer, so you can think through definitions, edge cases, and game-to-game variations.

Skills you’ll practice

You’ll train your ability to translate community terms into concrete actions: what inputs are used, when they work, and why they fail. Expect a mix of vocabulary checks and “what causes this behavior?” mechanics questions.

Common pitfalls to avoid

A lot of players mix up similar concepts (like air-strafe vs. strafe-jump) or assume one game’s rules apply everywhere. Watch for wording about engine differences, speed caps, friction, and whether a technique requires jumping, turning, or timing releases.

Difficulty and length settings

Difficulty is balanced as Mixed, blending quick wins (basic terms) with tougher items (mechanics interactions and exceptions). You can choose how many questions to play and set the difficulty before starting, making it easy to do a short warm-up or a full deep-dive session.

Quick tips for better accuracy

Read for engine hints (Quake-like, Source-like, arena vs. tactical)
Separate input technique (keys/mouse) from the underlying mechanic (accel/friction)
Don’t assume “momentum” always means the same rule set
Look for conditions: on-ground vs. in-air, sprinting vs. walking, crouched vs. standing
When two options sound right, pick the one with the correct trigger/timing detail
