        The easiest way to add a new game for me at  least is to:

        1. Create an Alias for the gaming ports / protocols and give it name - say TitanfallTraffic
        2. Create a new floating rule based off one of your existing rules under the Floating rule tab in the gui.
        3. Change to the Alias you created.
        4. Change the description to match.

        Remember for TCP Traffic chose the qACK and whatever your gaming queue is called. (for me it is qGames)  For UDP you dont have to choose the qACK just the regular queue.

        You can find gaming ports online or you can do captures on the firewall and get them for yourself.
