One of the most important aspects of any game is the flow of battle.

Simply put, it is knowing and predicting where enemies are and are moving to. Know the momentum of the game, there is a right time to be on the offensive and defensive. Know when to flank and push straight up the middle. There is a time for everything, all based on the flow of battle. There is much more to it than this.

Flow is a feeling. It is a byproduct of situational awareness, using radar effectively, knowing where your team is, knowing where enemies are, knowing what objectives are most important, and myriad other factors. Much of it is intuition based on experience. Good players know how to go with the flow. Great players can control it.

I know this is quite ambiguous. Admittedly, I probably didn't explain it too well. Hopefully, some of you out there have some sort of idea of what I'm talking about. There is a Battlefield-specific guide that goes in-depth about this, as well as other aspects of the FPS. Again, it is heavily based on Battlefield but is a good read for any player.Here you go.
