Things that could improve the Firing Range
First off, I would like to say that what you guys did with the firing range was amazing. There is so much detail in it that helps create a realistic feel. However, there are some things I think you c...

Make the bots far more realistic in their movements to evade, and with various tactics (e.g., rush and attack in the open versus hug cover), and let them renew their shields and health if we back off to do the same as well. Also, it would be nice to either have only one bot to deal with if that is what you want.
I was training against the AI bots the other day, and whenever they wanted to run through a door, they get stuck in a running animation because they can't seem to open the door.
Fab post and thoughts I fully agree with the following that you suggested:
"Advanced AI: Allow the bots to walk around circular objects in a straight path from point A to point B and change locations. Give them stronger patterns to follow. It would be great to have 2-5 bots roaming through the firing range so we can practice firing at targets while they try to get behind objects. This would require us to time our shots when they come into view.
Better Aim: The aim of the bots in the firing range currently mimics the old firing range. They have poor aiming and only shoot in bursts, lacking the real feel of a skilled opponent rapidly firing a high-powered weapon with accuracy. Even though there are a lot of bots, they still can't hit you most of the time, even when doing a minimal strafe."
Maybe add a trident or two to the firing range.
Thank you for the well written post.
- @Asmodeus566 The Trident would be better if there was a race track in my opinion. There's even a large open space where the water is, maybe we could have platforms there for that.
I like the zip lines, it gives us plenty of opportunity to practice shooting as we zip.
What would be the purpose of having a trident on the firing range? Would it be to practice shooting as a passenger? I could see that. But the firing range is simply too small to support even one trident at the moment. And you would need another player to drive or a bot to drive for you.
What would be extremely cool is if we could go into any of the season maps to practice on and explore without the feeling of having to engage at a moments notice.
Halo has a forge mode and a custom games mode that allows you to do that. The Apex customs games mode doesn't allow you to simply explore the map alone. You need to have at least 30 players to launch a custom game. It would be nice if you could launch a custom game on any season map in an EXPLORE MODE and people can join if they want.
