As much as we all want that to happen, it very likely won’t. It’s Illfonic we’re talking about here. Even if they do, the new game mode will be bugged to hell.
Almost 3 months already - no additional game modes, matchmaking's still broken!

LMAO, players [the thing that a game needs to survive] and graphics [video games are a visual medium]
boy, you seem to misunderstand “doing better than F13” and I’m not sure how to make it any more clear to you, since you literally just proved my point.
Show me again how Predator:Hunting Grounds is “literally unplayable” and not a functional product, because I’m playing right now, had no issues all day…
I’ve been as critical of the bugs as anyone, but it does seem to be running better lately 👍
I never even said that. I said if games released unplayable and broken messes in the past when they couldn’t receive updates then nobody would’ve bought them.
But this game is a broken mess. Long que times, dead lobbies, game breaking bugs such as…
Objective based AI not spawning, leaving you unable to complete the objective
Glitching under the map where you can still shoot the predator but the Predator can’t do anything to the fireteam
Med bags and ammo bags clipping into walls and floors where they can’t be used
Predator getting 1 tapped (even bypassing second wind) because of shitty servers
And I’m sure the list goes on.
I’m glad you’re enjoying the game. But don’t dismiss the people that aren’t.
I’m far from saying there arn’t issues, but I can already fix 2 of your issues.
Long que times: Que as FT, you’ll have a match within minutes, the only time this seems to not be the case, is if you’re AUS or oceanic, or in the sticks somewehere. That also tends to fix your “Dead lobbies” issue, as even if you end up in a “Dead lobby” you can simply re-que and get a match in minutes.
Predator matches are inherently going to take longer [between 5-10 min for me for example on average] because you’re matching 4 players to 1 pred. It’s just a reality of asym multiplayer games.
Now, again, yes, there’s some issues at play, the medkit/ammo bag issue I’ve run into for a while now, and it’s hella frustrating, but honestly, I’ve run into those issues only occasionally.
I’ve personally never been 1tapped as pred, I have been melted quickly via pc sniper death squads, but I’ve never personally witnessed, or been on the recieving end of being 1tapped. Nor has anyone who I regularly interact with.
Glitching under the map, I witnessed once, haven’t seen it for like, 2 patches.
end of the day, beyond crossplay invites, and the occasional lobby bug, game’s playable, and in a relatively solid position both playerbase and seemingly sales wise. It sucks you guys are having issues, and I hope they end up resolved, but man, I’m getting real tired of the constant shittalk on this forum, ya know?
Que times I’ve never had a problem with. I only play fireteam. But I know it’s horrible for a lot of people. That’s why I mention it because for some it takes much, much longer than 5 minutes.
The med bag and ammo bag bug may only be occasional, but it’s still game breaking and needs to be fixed asap.
I’ve never been 1 tapped as pred either. But I know a fair few people have. And that can be enough to drive people away from the game. So it’s something that shouldn’t just be swept under the rug.
Not only are people glitching under the map, they’re also getting to unreachable areas like underneath certain huts on backwater. That will be more common when people realise how effective it can be and the problem will only get worse and worse. So that needs to be fixed asap.
I understand it’s annoying seeing people rant about the game constantly but it’s needed for this game to become better. Some times people go overboard with it, but at least it shows the Devs how a lot of the community feels about the game.
Thats the problem with some people’s play habits. People CAN realise it is effective but it is not practical and only makes people angry. What people need to be is to be trained in effective combat styles rather be that ‘run and hide’ attitude you see with most casual players. You’ll probably notice that run and hide habit because it is the most common and realistic non-tactical human thing to do.
Tutorial training and timebased training are needed for this -to not punish the player- but tell then NOT to run and hide under things because it does nothing but prolong the game BUT TO DO other strategy based things- but not everyone thinks this is a combat game but more like a scary Fortnite.
This is why Illfonic needs to get this part of the game together. Forced training in the VR…etc.etc,etc.
The first tutorial was one of the best steps although it is for Predator and doesn’t cover anything other than the more unique concepts of the controls.
It is getting content, be patient and fucking relax guy?
Sorry if it seems as though I’m snapping at you, but this isnt the first post and it probably won’t be the last.
Entitled children are so used to the “live service” element of games these days that they want content yesterday, supersized with an extra side of whine.
So before you post a whinge fest, or anybody else is even thinking of crying for the 15 millionth time I suggest you absorb these facts beforehand or you’re making yourself troll bait -
*Illfonic are not a “Triple A” studio like Activision, Ubisoft or one of the myriad EA studios with hundreds if not thousands of employees. They are a small team of under 100 employees who make games for gamers, not for shareholders.
*Updates, Patches and content are not an entitlement - you paid for a functioning game and got a functioning game. Free updates are made and released out of the goodness of illfonic’s hearts. Paid DLC will be released as and when its created. These happen by supporting the game and the devlopers or they will move onto another project.
*Matchmaking isn’t broken just every cunt between you and timbuktu wants to play as predator. The queue for predator is anywhere between 5-15mins depending on geolocation and what timezone you’re in as a result. The FIRETEAM QUEUE is 30-45 seconds?
*There isn’t a bottomless pit of money for content due to the above points and the fact this isn’t a live service which thrives on microtransactions for aesthetics or pay to win mechanics.
If there is anyone reading this who cannot accept the above points, still feels the emotions of rage and entitlement then PLEASE help enrich this community, become part of the solution by trading your game in AND FUCKING OFF TO PLAY COD OR FORTNITE. NEVER RETURN.

This game literally just came out, of course it has more players. If this game even lasts that long it’ll be doing better
F13 came out 3 years ago, no shit the graphics r gonna be worse, but it has way less bugs
and you agree with that?
How old are you child?
Maybe you should grow up and get a job before writing these stupid things here.
You think money is easy to get? maybe for you!
Ive been playing video games for about 35 years and this game is the poorest in content i’ve ever seem for the price it was sold!
This long matchmaking + one game mode (repetitive to death) + 3 MAPSSSSS!!! (oh my god!!) + PAID SKINS! And you think this is right?
WE ALL KNOW ILLFONIC IS A SMALL DEVELOPER ! WHAT ARE YOU SAYING DUDE?
This game is freaking buggy man! And there’s no end to this.
They fix something and wreck other in the same patch.
Wake up! Money is hard to get! WE DESERVE MORE THAN THIS!
Queues for pred here take almost 20 min! Consider yourself Lucky!

How old are you?
You act like the matchmaking is on the developers. Like everyone is being help at gunpoint by Illfonic and being forced to pick predator. No. People want to play as predator. Far more than FOUR (4) people want to play as humans. How can you justify your argument?
And one game mode like other similarly priced asymmetrical multiplayers? And what would another game mode do? Increase queue times even more. Think.
And I’d rather cosmetics be paid than actual content. Pay to Win is a bad business model, and hiding content behind a paywall just means no one is going to play them, and it will create longer queue times.
That’s how game development is. You play with the code to fix something, and by doing so, the code makes more bugs. That’s how these things work.

you really don’t follow this forum since the start. I won’t explain and talk about it again.
Everything has been discussed before. About the game modes, about the queue time.
Everything. Please, go back and check out.
The only thing we need for this game to rock, is the simple “will” from the devs. Only that.
Ohh and there’s one more thing… They need to learn about gamemaking, cuz right now, they look like kindergarden children playing a game called “let’s make a game and earn money” !!!
They fix something and break another that was working perfect. They need to go to a university and study before realeasing a broken product like this!
No, I’ve been here, watching children like you complain about how long they have to wait to play predator.
If you feel that its so easy to do their job, then do it. Fix all the bugs. I’m sure a man with your talents can do that in no time, right? After all, they are just kindergarteners who haven’t even gone to university to know how to make the game.

can’t believe you are protecting them! hahahhaha
so you like to stand stood looking at the screen for 20 min to get to a game where your character get stuck in everything and go for long claims automatcaly leading you to die and wait for more 20 min!
Go on keep defending them. As for me, I’m no dev. I’m a worker. i pay for a finished product and I want to use it, I’m a consumer. just like that. I dont fake i’m a dev and make a junk full of glitches to sell it to people and take their beloved money. And ultimately, I’m not like you who keep protecting these dev’s after all of this.
This actually made me laugh out loud, you actually sound like a fucking moron child yourself because you cannot handle opposing opinions? So your defence is to pull out an insult? 😂
I made factual statements and actually quite a rational post and you pull the “child card”, because I disagree with your anger at pretty much an indie developer 🤔 how the fuck does a numbskull like you divine my age and profession from that?!
If you cannot construct a rational argument without insulting the intelligence of your opposition then you lack maturity. Your opinion lacks any credibility, in fact you sound like an utter cretin.
Without divulging my personal information to a whiny bitch American idiot - your spider-sense is way off kid. Try again, or perhaps don’t. How about you go back to the store trade in the game and get your allowance back so people dont have to read another self-entitled millennial baby cry about how the lack of content is making them sad inside.
You used to buy games back in the day, and they came as they were. No fucking patches, no internet connectivity you got what you bought. This isn’t a live service like fortnite, illfonic are under no obligation to give you any support outside of a working game.
Be thankful they are choosing to support it instead of allowing it to die.
Now fuck off while the grown ups talk yeah?
Edit - if you had 35 years of experience playing videogames (I’m going with the rule of 3 here, all guys exaggerate divide it by 3 and you get the real number - thats an American pie reference 🥧)
Then you are either devoid of technical knowledge, how businesses work or both. Maybe you’re as dumb as a sack of rocks. Employ some fucking common sense because you don’t sound like someone who is at least 40 (unless you live in your mothers basement).
I can’t explain it any simpler. More people want to play Predator in a Predator game than the humans. Because of that, the queues are long. What do you want the devs to do about it? Turn the consoles and computers into bombs so it you play four games as pred in a row it explodes? Like, How do you get less people to play as a predator without making it awful to play, or taking away people’s choice as to who they get to play as?

My God! how many insults!
Who said I’m from us? I’m from Brasil!!
Are you nuts?
I’m 40yo and I’,ve played videogames since ATARI.
I’m not here to fight people like you who assume things before knowing people.
I’m quite disappointed with this junk job illfonic has been doing since day one with this game!
you’ve got your oppinion and i’ve got mine.
If you are ok with all of these glitches than it’s ok. But many people are not.
I just think we can all agree the game was released in a sad state and hasn’t really improved. Illfonic needs to remove their head from their ass.
