Hello, this is HIpro and I'll be presenting this new "training" map. Before I start I'd like to note that this map is built and designed for newer players that need to learn basic movements with their reticule. If you're already pro or above average, this map may be no use to you and you may not find this topic interesting.

I know most of you are tired of the same old training maps that make you shoot a buch of fusion coils and all you're doing is hurting your game by practicing bad habits. Halo 3 uses a system called auto aim and magnatism which literally help your bullets enter your opponent's body. Just shooting fusion coils which has no auto aim on it can actually ruin your game by making you think you have to move your riticule more than you really have to if it were in a real battle. That's what got me thinking of the question, what contraption could actually let the player shoot at a moving target that also has auto aim and magnatism with it? That's where this map comes in.

This map is the first ever design that allows you to practice any weapon on a "dummie" that will strafe back and forth on it's own. With a little randomness, this contraption becomes a challenge. After practicing a bit on this map, you'll be able to use the BR and sniper with the confidence that you've never had before. You'll win more BR battles, you'll snipe more players with extreme accuracy, and you'll make your way to the top of the scoreboards in no time. So what are you waiting for? Start practicing with the map!

To use this map, you NEED a guest. The guest will stand in the contraption and begin to strafe on it’s own while you shoot at it. Unless you have a friend that’s willing to just stand in one place, a guest is a necessity on this map.

Once the guest spawns, you'll notice that it'll be in the contraption already. Even when you kill it, it will respawn only within the contraption. This map was built with high quality so whenever the guest respawns, nearly 100% of the time the guest will be strafing when you see it. So in other words, you'll never have to touch the guest controller again when you are practicing. Also this contraption is on the wider side and allows you to shoot from all different angles. It also allows the guest to move at a similar speed as in real gameplay. The quality of this contraption also enables you to shoot most parts of the guest's body. With the doors being half way under the ground, only the legs are covered giving you a more realistic practice.
This map also includes a small upper platform and a convenient section with additional weapons.

The rest of the map is pretty self explanatory. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, you can post them here. I’ll be happy to respond to them.

Here's some images:

Contraption Bird's eye view. Pretty simple.​

Higher platform for a different angle of shooting.​

An overview of it. Sorry for the bad angle.​

For the gametype, you can play it on team slayer with the settings that you'd like to have. I think having a gametype for this map isn't necessary. The person practicing should be able to decide what the settings should be.​

Thanks for you time. Here's the link again: -Strafe-​

If all goes well, I might decide to make a version 2 of this map which will include:
-More platforms
-Better strafing contraption
-More weapons
-Better spawning
-Possibly making the contraption a bit more random, simulating it to a real battle.​

Hopefully it goes through.​

 

Thanks for the tip. Lol. I was in such a rush for some reason, I didn't even think of adding scenery.

 

Thanks for you suggestion bluepenguin.

I can add some platforms around the contraption but that's about it. Is that what your talking about?

 

Thanks for the comment.

 

Thanks. I practice my noscope with this too. It really did help improve it. I think I'll make a v2 of this since people are saying it needs more "scenery."
