Being that fireteam can resurrect and even stop the predator bomb I think that if a predator can get up to where the radio they use is at that we could destroy it to cancel the reinforcements. Anyone else think so?

there are lot of issueās to be discuss where do we get startā¦ and yes with plasma cannon if the hunter gamer is found must be destroyableā¦ even chopperā¦
No, because even if they call for reinforcements you still can get more kills if your good. as for Destroying the hellicopter no, because then Preds will just Cheese the spawn and shoot it so therefore making playing the fireteam meaningless. As A Predator thatās a really horrible Idea, will not make the game enjoyable or fun for anyone period.

Destroying the heli can be done
Reinforcement removal can actually be a positive thing

They have nerfed the predator so much that a single player can take a quarter of your health in 5 seconds.
its 87 theme anyway i have allmost every game with per movie in my mind so its normal there is no extraordinary issue here (for me) as hunter of course āā unlike āā ft gamers im not selfish it must be fair for both side as berzerker cant feeling anything since last update honestly more harder to stay close to them and especialy parry against such force with little knife ? sigh jesusā¦ many thing reduced since first experience some good undoās or rebalanceās can be goodā¦
i donāt think you realize how long 5 seconds is lol count to five right now and tell me thatās not a long time to be taking damage. if youāre taking hits for a solid 5 seconds, iād say youāre extremely lucky to only have 1/4 of your health gone.

I think he just means quickly. Which is true, you can take a quarter of his health quickly. But also 1/4 of your health, there are 4 of them, meaning four of them equals one of you. So Iām not sure itās a bad thing lol
This is really goodš¤š

So ever since its touch up patch (it could use some extra testing/finer tuning) reinforcements is not the power house it used to be.
This along with players learning how to play better, this respawn mechanic is actually used by efficient Preds to increase kill and trophy counts and XP by almost double.
Being able to destroy it, honestly would be unfair seeing how Preds have SW that can be recharged and theres a perk for less time recharge.
You can motion sensor trap it
You can bear trap it
If you know where its at you have one of the biggest advantage once you land kills, you know where the first person to break away from the group if they just run for it, where they are going. Exactly where.
They usually get tunnel vision doing this. You can injure them all the way there. You can kill them or lure them away. Respawn has to have them up, and near to work. They canāt otherwise. Even if its group of 3.
People even bait it so they go for just one person to respawn, bit of a waste. People down one of survivors let guy go, respawn the group then kill the DBNO guy and its 3v1 again.
As for the health thing.
Few recommendations. One if youāre on PS4 turn cross play off. PC is a whole different hell house right now apparently due to multiple issues. No advice there sorry.
Second, run Scout class for a bit, get good, get used to it. Then run a Hunter class.
Shit will change drastically.
As a Scout you are almost restricted to all long range, which is fine and fun. Speed is nice.
After being used to being a frail twig for a while, jumping back to hunter you feel like a fucking tank. And the speed dif? Not so much dif. The health dif? Very noticeable.
Playing Scout is like hard mode, going to hunter after feels like going back to meduim. You go from āI need to move to keep healthā to āAh -15%, still got 85%ā
I mean counting to five quickly like a kid would. And the way your thinking of it isnāt quite right if all four shot at me in that short time and hit it would be an almost instant death the only thing a predator can do for an instant death is a stealth kill but that also leaves you open to massive Damage from the others. Iāve had a fireteam kill my berserker before I hit the ground from a leap at full health
Yesā¦šŖšŖšŖššš
Yeah thatās my point though. If all four shoot at you, and all land on you clean, you should die. I mean right? Is that not how the game was balanced. All four of them together take you down. Itās our job as the predator to make the engagement on our terms. Now Iām not saying this to sound big brained or like I have all the answers cause itās definitely not that simple when the team is very very good. A really good FT makes doing that very difficult. But I also feel like thatās how itās meant to be too. If the whole team is good and you just find easy openings thatās probably not balanced. Beating a whole stacked FT is hard and sometimes you lose but thatās how itās supposed to be. Would be kinda silly if you just win every time. Sometimes I beat FTās where Iām like damn that was nuts hard. Sometimes they fuck me up and I have to go heal and play differently and maybe someone gets away. Thatās the game
But see the problem lies in this you slam weapon stuck in the ground the can shoot the crap out of you. You do a stealth kill someone comes round the corner there is half your health gone. And there is no splash damage weapons for the predator I keep dealing with ft that stick together like glue noone far enough away to even try to pick off. Iām not saying pred needs an Uber weapon but something to discourage them from being so close they feel the other fart. And stoping a combi with a knife is bs
I agree with you on most of your points but with how short the games are and with how quickly the FT can finish the objectives you rarely get the chance to attack them āon your termsā. 90% of the time you have to go at them asap in order to delay them and make the game last longer. If you wait too long theyāll be done within 3 minutes. When we all started playing it was different; nobody knew the maps, nobody knew the objectives and everybody was terrified of the Predator. Unfortunately itās been a month with no new maps or missions so the FT can be (and usually is) pretty cocky against the Predator. Mix that with everybody playing as Arnie now and it just makes things worse. Thatās also not mentioning the guns and perks you get at higher levels.
I think they should either add a second game mode where the matches are longer (though this could lead to longer wait times by splitting up matchmaking), or one with longer objectives that require you to split up (giving the Predator a choice of strategy and a better chance of making a successful move), or both at the same time.
Maybe you can help me with a problem Iāve been having it seems that no matter what I do the fireteams in the last few matches see me like Iām not even cloaked any ideas?
The only time that ever happened to me was when I used the smart disk while cloaked but they fixed that bug. Canāt say anything similar has happened since then. Does it start from the very beginning of the match or did you do something beforehand that could cause it?
Itās also possible that they spam spot which will tag you even when youāre completely still.
No Iām completely still they arenāt spotting just firing and directly on me they shouldnāt have been able to see me I didnāt even change weapons and yes I was definitely cloaked
Very odd. I hope they havenāt found out how to use Cheat Engine with this game or itās going to die very quickly.
basically this
