I started with tetris and chess, This gave me alot of the basic knowledge, then I built from there.

As far as some advice on your game, well if you have no experience and a small team why are you aiming so high?
I wouldn't even make a game to begin with. Just practice with modding the starter.fps kit and go from there. Once your knowledge increases start with a small, realistic project that you can finish.
