Are we going to fix classes?

#1

Hear me out. I have been having a mostly good time playing predator even though the best way is to zerg in down on and quick claim and hope that the FT doesn’t get respawn in time. However today even after the update I’m going up against FT with all wearing heavy armor, using LMGs and zerging me with melee. This is pretty broken. The FT balance needs to be reworked so as to force the FT to actually be the covert team sneaking through the jungle they are supposedly. Can we please get some discussion from Illfonic on what the logic is? Why Illfonic believes it to be in the best interest of the game to have COD four man team vs. a Predator?

What about “hey, zerging is the only real valid strategy until fire-teams are balanced” made you, Illfonic, decide the buff/debuff what was listed in the patch notes? Why not change it entirely to where the caster is not a starting weapon so it doesn’t become an underpowered easter-egg type thing you lug around on your shoulder?

Why is the Predator still the loudest thing in a jungle that is supposed to have hella ambient noise all through the day and night?

I really want this game to be good as the gaming community has been starved of good Alien & Predator games the last decade but holy cow Illfonic get it together before this game has a real hard time holding onto consumers and a potential series of games instead of a single meh release.

Edit: Why the heck did I just down a guy for him to come back minutes later because his team just holed up in a room with LMGs so I can’t hit or do anything to them? Do away with the effing respawn mechanic as it is broken and easily abused. I mean come the heck on.

If the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

In other words, try a different approach. Range has worked FANTASTIC for me. Cloaking and getting on multiple levels (Rooftops,Treetops, Going down to ground cover, Large Rock covers are beautiful). There is more than one class and more than one playstyle.

Giving constructive criticism is the “everything is a nail” saying in motion?

Also have you played on PC? Did you read where I said up until now it has mostly been easy but due to fire team level ups they are becoming walking lead walls? This was all said well over a month ago. Let’s use an example shall we? We’ll take the Combistick as an example, it was your third or fourth unlock in the trial weekend, but due to it being “OP” which was really meant the only real usable weapon it got moved to the last weapon unlock. Instead of listening to players who play-tested their game a month ago, and gave critiques on how to make it better they pushed out the same game from a month ago.

I’ve only played PS4. But I have a fine time killing then with Predator using other techniques than just zerging as you say…

I think you are playing and looking at the game incorrectly. @JalapenoBish actually pretty much took the words out my mouth. The fire team is made to played in a certain way just as the predator for the game to click. Once you understand how to manage a fire team and poke at the right moments my god is it fun for both sides.
