Arena is a custom map where you can practice your skill against AI-controlled TF_BOTs featured in TF2's offline practice. There is also an additional option to toggle traditional "dummy" bots that jump in place, for airshot training.

JOIN THE RED TEAM!

Some examples of the things you can practice in this map:

  • Rocket/Grenade reflecting
  • Scattergun, Pistol, Shotgun, Sniper Rifle, Revolver aim
  • Flaregun, Crossbow, Syringegun prediction
  • Rocket Launcher/Grenade Launcher airshots & prediction

Feature list:

  • AI-driven bots to 1v1 fight against, which automatically use the highest difficulty setting possible.
  • Option for TF_BOTs to jump around, adding an extra layer of difficulty.
  • Option for TF_Bots to use melee only, for the rare occasion you want to practice melee.
  • TF_BOTs will always have the correct hitbox. This makes training Sniper & Spy friendly.
  • Non-AI bots that sit still and jump for Soldier/Demoman airshot practice.
  • Random crits, damage spread, bullet spread, and respawn times automatically disabled.
  • Health & Ammo regen, which is silent just like TR_Walkway.
  • sv_cheats enabled, meaning your stats and achievements are never messed up.

If you are experiencing any problems with this map after the June 2, 2015 update, make sure you run this command:

Code:
sv_allow_point_servercommand always

I would put it in your autoexec just to be safe. This goes for ALL training maps that spawn bots. Not just this map.

Fun fact : When you play a map on a server, you automatically download it. Just download it here and save yourself the trouble.

Great map! Really helps to get a hang of 1v1 without being stomped in MGE or waiting for opportunities in pubs.
I don't know if you abandoned this map by now, but here's an idea i had while playing: an option for full resupply on kill would be great, allowing for more realistic simulation of combat than constant resupply and alleviating the need to run back to buttons or locker.
