I think so, considering the amount of games that have this feature (or concept).

Discuss.

Ok, I'm a little slow on this term. What does it mean? (I probably know, but I may call it something different)

it means you can change your weapons at the press of a button, as opposed to going into a menu.

Looking over what concepts are. I'd call it a concept not a feature.

Seems right at home with stuff like "Fog of war" and "Weapon customization".

I would call those concepts as well. Same with "Third-person shooter" or "First person shooter". Although I'm unsure what those count as on the site.
Features to me more along the lines of what weapons it has, what classes it has or how good the graphics are.

That's just my opinion though.

I wouldn't call FPS or TPS real genres. Just description or specifs of a certain games genre. Like fight person RPG. Or Third person action game.
I wouldn't just call a game a FPS.

This is a hard thing to explain and argue since it's so heavily based on opinion.

Ooooooooooohhhh. I got it.

I saw why not? If it is a method of combat employed in a game, then it should be put in here as a concept. Albeit it is mainly used as a joke topic.
