Not entirely. Well, it depends what aspect you want to practise. If it's aiming, running about without cover, and dealing with spammed hordes of goons that spawn without any sense of terrain utilisation, then yes. If it's tactical cover based fighting against enemies pre-placed to create a battle that makes use of the terrain, then no.

It's like Mass Effect trying to do Quake. The arenas have little cover and using it is futile because you're either sprinting around to find markers/enemies, or you are being swarmed on all sides by endless spawns. There's no room for tactics, no time to consider a plan, and no need for them either. I passed all the scenarios by selecting my assault rifle and holding the trigger down, and there were only 2 I didn't get 1st place on at the first attempt. Both of those maps were 'capture the marker' jobs and it took me a bit to find the first marker because they don't bother to mark them on your hud.

If you want to hone your combat skills play on hardcore or insanity. Hardcore is the difficulty where the game truly shines IMO; the enemies have skills and use them frequently meaning your team needs to do likewise, along with using the terrain and the various weapon upgrades. Insanity gets a bit tiresome as too many enemies have immunity and take forever to kill.
