Strategy games where the player can control singular unit like in a simulator or shooter rather than giving orders which the AI carries out.

Notable people involved: Lizard, Josh Mosqueira, Brian Wood and Stephen Dinehart

Alternate names: Direct fire control, Direct command

See also: possession
This is really just generalization of strategy and shooter genres being present in the game together. Becomes largely pointless when you can search for the two together.

Mostly useful in strategy games or others where player mainly gives things for the units to do than actually controlling them manually.
