[SUGGESTION] sniping training center

Could be cool for begginers (but not only...) to have a kind of training mode where you could shoot at bots, which do not have any weapon. A sort of sniping training center.

The way I see it: you choose a map, you put bots at spots you choose (we can imagine a bot drop function by just pressing a key. I already saw it with clones). The (poor) bots stay standstill (or move into a neighbourhood of the spot he was dropped) and respawn at the same spot just before being fragged.

What do you guys think?

Reminds me of one room on peace6dot5 unfortunately required a special server mod.

That room should maybe be remade using target_spawn

something like that exists on UrbanTerror, too! -.-
It's quite crappy
but in Xonotic it would be fine

Hehe, clonespawn. It used to work

Why crappy? Do you mean that, in general, it's a useless mode or is it specific to UrbanTerror?

no it's a map not a mode!
Just some spawnpoints on jumppads

The crappy thing is that's not bots but real players!!! (online) wtf?

I really like this idea, mostly because I can't hit crap and this would help.
It could be put in the Single player mission listing as "Target training" or something.

Target Training is not a story!!!
But maybe if you played all the singleplayer you'll be that good, that you don't need such a Training

Target Training is not a story!!!

hm... wait... ok:
Once upon a time, a princess lived in a fairytale sniping center...
Now you have a story

I disagree. Training should be included as an optional chapter (Half-Life does that).

like the story

nice, I was to suggest this.
but, my idea is a Trining game mode where you can use with other players, you will never die and you could have infinite life and the master player can assign objectives to the n00bs player like "take a megahealt in less than 10 seconds" and so on. so, in that example, the newbie player can learn basic things like moving faster with jumps, etc.

you can get to the singleplayer without knowing how to snipe and even basic things like knowing jumping makes you faster so some training maps explaining and training you on these things and maybe more advanced things as well would be a great addition.

Rage ATWM:
The best way to have more and more campers in-game is to follow this insane idea (which in other circumstances could be rly good). The way I understood your idea is: Player standing still and shooting to 'bewildered' BOTs which ain't movin' as well. Thats too boring, too slow (and a bit pointless IMhO).
Sorr, Just sain' what thinking.

Shackra's idea deserves attention and realization I suppose. If I were a moderator or developer I would take it into consideration.
"Take this mega in less then 10 secs" sounds great

And qlum: training maps is another briliant idea I would like to see in Singleplayer training mode. I'm thinking about SPECIFIC maps created just for this purpose (there are many quake maps like this and also Cortez and Fruitex and Morphed are doing very nicely)

hm, take a look at the date of the original post. I had enough time to handle the mourning of this brilliant idea
And btw, the correlation you make between sniping training and campers sounds a bit weak
