I found a way to fix this also… without necessarily forcing predator into the play…
best way to do is to keep fireteam on their high toes 24 / 7 during the mission… and if they mess something up there is a 50 / 50 chances predator heard this… which lifts up that “SURPRISE Factor” even more in the game so its non stop action for fireteam.
I would also go to the extent to argue that illfonic should let fireteam be able to like make their own GILLY suits or like basic grass coverage that takes time to build and hides them from AI + Predator for short period of time cause the more u spend in it the more temperature rises inside it.
The best way to approach in making this sort of game is to realize why people like to play humans only and why people like to play predator only… and why some are hybrid.
So for fireteam mains you would more likely keep them happy if they were able to make their own TRAPS, SHELTERS
And being able to hide in plain sigh from the predator too for brief period of time.
To make predator fun in a way it can’t be rushed, illfonic will have to make it so you need to put in time and patience to hunt the fireteam which i am 100% sure that majority of predator mains who bought them game only cause of predator and how they are in love with the tech, they wouldn’t mind actually spending time as a true hunter following footsteps and clues.
This would also help out balance the wait time for predator more as at least dozen of people will then play fireteam more cause its OUT OF THE BOX action, which is different than with predator.
