Your Training Method

Post by a13n »

How do you train yourself to be a pro fragger?
/me train myself with 5-10 hardcore red bots, in TDM mode, joining to blue team alone, something like lynch play.
Really exciting while challenging!

I don't know about "pro", but I like to setup Instaunlagged server and try my hands against nightmare Bones(s).

If you want to get good, you have to train against humans.

Their dodging patterns and combat tactics are far superior to AI.

I drink lots of beer. It doesn't make me better but at least I don't mind losing that much then.

Created by a russian programmer, the SpiterBot is a duel bot that
employs such advanced tactics as strafe-jumping, item control, etc.

And it makes things faster and more furious. :icon30:

another thing you can do with bots (i think D|S-Syn used to do this before matches) is load up a listen with some bots and bump the timescale up to about 1.5
after about 10min of that the game seems like it's in slow motion :icon14:

Oh, that makes sense and applicable to other real life things such as baseball batting.

AFAMTG(As far as my testing goes), it is nothing more than a cpm bot, especially noticeable at its slowdown during combat or pre-combat.

I used to do something similar: an instagib server with a nightmare bot and g_speed set to 640. Good for practicing those flick rails.

SpiterBot is the only worthy bot for practicing. Load a [100]Spite (with the last version of SpiterBot released) and play on pro-q3dm6. Good luck beating him. ;)
