When we defuse the bomb, we just run around quickly gathering any VT that we can. Defending the body is pointless, but defusing the bomb buys you some VT farming time at least.
Bomb defusing is too easy
Exactly this. Reinforcement are being used as a strat now instead of their original intention. Oh, I’ve no syrettes and low ammo? I’ll just deliberately die so I can reinforce with full inventory…if they changed it so you only respawn with what you died with, and say maybe one syrette if you have none then people wouldn’t be using reinforcement as part of their win strategy. Are @Courier and Devs even aware that it’s being abused like this?

@VENN7eance And are the devs aware how predators are abusing the reinforcements (AI) mechanics? How often do you see people kill themselves to get stuff back? Now how often do you see preds trigger allarms?
Triggering alarms is a valid strategy, not abuse.

In that case killing yourself for get your stuff back is a valid tactic just as well.
From my point of view pred triggering the alarm is GAME BRAKING abuse of the system. They are removing an entire mechanic from the FT and making stealth for the FT even WORSE then it is. You don’t even have a reason to get silencers on your guns if preds just get to the objective before you and trigger the damn alarms. Why even put alarm boxes for the FT to disable if the pred can invalidate everything?
There are three different camps on any given map with different missions that can take place at any one of them. Unless predator just happens to make it to that camp before FT and set off the alarms, FT can easily stop it before it happens.
Furthermore, even predator setting off alarms at every camp isn’t a guaranteed win for predator. You’re ultimately trying to create an issue where there is none.

And predator can get to any of them before you. Predator starts before FT and predator can spot your location before you can mud up so its easy to guess.
Furthermore, mission happens at multiple locations, even if by some luck you don’t find him at the first one, you will find it at the second base.
Same shit was happening with animation canceling for slam. Same justification really. FT can deal wit it, its fine if we do it but you… Oh no, can’t have FT “abuse” anything!
Lol is the AI just supposed to not react to the pred standing in the compound?

In this case not by triggering alarms. Now if we would be dealing with competent developers, the AI would respond with units designed to hunt down the predator IF he would be triggering it. Its bullshit as it is, you have a space alien killing machine but you ignore him to chase after some stupid humans.
Or here do you think if they specifically coded the AI to go “oh shit that aint human!” and then pull the alarm if they didn’t want pred to be able to set off the alarm?

Going by that logic if the devs did not want people to kill themselves to get stuff back, they would have coded it differently.
Where have I said FT was abusing anything?
I didn’t.
You made a reply to me and I made a reply to the other guy. What I said about alarms was in direct response to what someone else said. Read his post, then mine and then try to understand what this was about.
Where in the development process do you think they were like “and heres the part where the other two FT on the objective throw all their medkits on the ground and kill themselves to respawn at the radio”?
How does that compare to “AI respond to predator by pulling the alarm”?

No they should hunt the identified threat, AI triggered by the Predator should go after the Predator.
Agree. AI should be relevant to both sides. Its the comparison that’s dumb.

Got you, I was answering the question you posed, should have quoted.
So you’re saying they are absolute morons? A situation like that is easy to foreseen. I mean you give gear that is extremely important to winning, then you give a mechanic that restores said resource. How hard is it to place 2 and 2 together?
That’s a bit savage. It’s called a lack of foresight. You don’t know what players are going to do until your game is live.

For the record, I think you should not respawn but enter the match via Helo and have full gear. Ideally playing a different character, with a separate load out.
PS. And I’m fine with the Pred defusing my bomb, if Dutch’s wrist mount is ever shared and active.
Want to stay on topic.
