On large or small communitys training is really important, especially in PR. Currentely trainings are done on coop or private servers. Coop is not a great solution but it's the most acessible. Private servers are great but the problem is simple: all maps are not suitable for training. So i alwais have to improvise, then i remember about the map Test Bootcamp wich is downloadable. The map is great, it with RCON and it's simply perfection. BUT the problem is simple: the people being trained are rookies, and they don't know or is too stuggle to get everyone ready to go. Instructors can't wast two hours of time and pacience for that.
My suggestion is simple, it's add the map officialy to the game. If the map by standard is there, well... perfect.

Wont be happening. Those are test maps and we use them as such. if we had to take care that it stays usable for public use, it would add a lot of work for us.

Re: Test Bootcamp by standard in game
I am not insisting, just curious. Would be possible a simpler version of the map for public release? By simpler i mean a version with only two factions and a few common vehicles like jeeps and mec inf apcs(brdm, boragh,etc), just for basic infantry training. It would be a separated version from the dev testing purposes map.Mats391 wrote:Wont be happening.

Re: Test Bootcamp by standard in game
They are not worth the extra mbs for the download tbh.
On top of that, we have also had "Training" layers/modes in the past and they were just abused by trollers and people looking for cheap thrills (ie, guys bombing everyone they could) and servers were running them in place of normal maps.
"Training" is far better on proper maps/layers on a privet/empty server (or local) than this, and having the option for people to download these maps separately and try out all the vehicles in local or a private server is far better all round.
