Howdie peeps,

Just a few questions concerning levelling that are bugging me..

OK, first up.. if I go into steam workshop and creaate a practice map, does the weapon and class exp gained on that map then add to my actual stats??

Secondly,

I came across this elsewhere

In the mean time try to press F3 and type "open TE-Barracks" for example.

shortcuts for the gamemodes are:
TE = territory
CD = countdown
FF = Firefight

and if you need some bots type "addbots X" where X is the number of bot you would like add.

Click to expand...

So.. going by this, should I be able to open up a practice map then add more bots to it?? then lvl up say the MG34 pretty quickly?

I ask this as I've been attempting to get the scoped G43 up to lvl 25 for the 4x scope using empty(ish) maps.. only for other people to join in and start sniping me, using tanks, ramboing with MGs, or other general annoyances getting in the way of my target practice.. (I would've had a 1000 point (not kill alas) game this morning if some klutz hadn't decided to bring out a tank on Pavlov's House... though saying that, I'm getting quite good as an engineer as a consequence..)

Also when I've opened a practice map (all of two times so far.. in a rush before work this am) even when I said I wanted 64 bots it only gave 16.. note great for a MG levelling game really.. :/

Oh and final point. On the practice maps, does the bot level/difficulty level have any impact on the experience gained?? I presume not since i assume on bot maps the skill level can vary wildly.. especially when I've seen bots pull of impossible shots from nigh on 200 yards..

Much dankos for any thoughts, info and opinions on all of this..

and yeah, I'll preempt the "but bot farming's not real skill gaining" nonsense by saying if the game didn't have such damn long weapons class mechanism I wouldn't be doing it in the first place.. >.<
