But you would still see branches in the distance bending when they are running through the trees?
Cheaters
Yes, but on high settings, I could barely see the pred jumping between branches.
Now I need to aim where I assume the pred is running, because I can’t see him at all anymore. Considering he is cloaked.
So they don’t move at all on low settings? Sorry if I sound confusing 😁 on console you can see the branches bend when they are running through the trees, if the foliage was removed and the branches still bend , its still not good
High Settings:
You see the branches move, leaves drop, a weird glassy Predator shadow hops from tree to tree.
Low settings:
You see the branches move, leaves drop, you suddenly die, that’s it.

I know people have been saying the optimisation is shit and even decent pcs struggle , I have a gaming pc and I’m glad I didn’t buy hunting grounds on it 😁 it can play a few games on ultra but apart from one or two it lags . I would like to upgrade the hardware a bit but I’m clueless with where to start
me everytime when I check this topic

It has been some months ago, when I started turning off crossplay most of the time (as my friend is on PC, if I play with him, it naturally has to be on) - so personally I am not very affected by cheating.
Nevertheless, that does not prevent me being interested in the topic - more from a technical point of view than a moral point of view. As I said, I often ponder about the question, which differences have which reasons / sources.
And related to my game: what is possible regularly and what is not. If others use the pistol alike an automatic rifle, that might not possible the same way without cheating - and such things are good to know.
When playing with my PC friend I always get the impression, that the playing style on PC is totally different from PS4 - due to the broader view angle and inparticular due to the speed, the viewing area can be moved and connected with this, the ability to hit a jumping predator on long range / during jumping.
Playing on PS4 is more “tank like”, your gun turret moves sloooooow…
All that leads to other strategics and tactics - we saw that in the videos belonging to “Let the Games begin” quite well too, if you ask me.
Ditto!
Just because you can use a rapid fire macro for the pistol, it doesn’t mean it’s ideal. You’ll miss every single shot because the recoil is so horrible. The 1911 only has 14 bullets with extended mag, you can easily empty a mag in two seconds or less. You’ll waste ammo with the rapid fire macro, people here have stated that already.

After today’s session, I have question: since when do “non-cheaters” FT come to the predator respawn and waiting for him there? Today, while I was waiting for them in the center of the map at the rail station, they came running straight to my respawn. When I jumped there back, they weren’t doing the mission, they were just sitting there. And as soon as they saw my pred, of course, they instantly melted him, and then one PC caught up through half a map and broke the mask alone in 5 seconds. And he was not a Deadly Assault with a Hammerhead. The most usualy Dutch Fanatic with a Pitbull.
I have played a Deadly Assault with a Hammerhead many times and never(!) have I killed a predator alone when the others were running away. I spended 3-4 clips at close range, after which he blew himself up. Even with 7EN.
And when only one player runs after you across the entire map, and runs exactly to that place there you are, as if he sees through the textures, and then with a damn pistol breaks the mask of Berserker with a armor mod in 5 seconds, this is a total piece of shit!
Another question: why does predators always kill my Assault in 2 claws hits when I have a mod for resistance to predator damage, and at the same time, when I play as a Berserker with a mod for melee damage, I need 6(!) hits by claws on a scout(!), who’s not using a syringe, to put him down. What the shit is going on?
The controller unquestionably is a limiting factor in terms of speed. You simply cannot move your view as fast and precise as with a mouse.
Try to use a controller for operating windows, nobody would like that…
It is true, that nevertheless people can be good with both. And it is true, that PS4 player exist, who are on the same level as PC players. But they definitely have to use other strategies / tactics.
The game on PC is a completely other one than on PS4.
Interesting, but I guess, most of the PC folks wont play with laptops, right?
Nobody is “screaming” here.
@Bonator you have been polite so far, but by now you’re just nik picking at any single thing about pc.
People here have explained just about everything there is to explain.
Just turn crossplay off man, we’re just going around in circles now.
Well said dude!
And this is a huuuuuuge one!
Is the recoil of the pistols really “horrible” - I would not expect that, although, I naturally has not tried that out personally (as I said, I am not interested in stuff one just can achieve using macros)?
Then why even talk about it?
Let’s just drop it.
I do not have an answer to that one, but this e.g. is one of these questions I would like to be answered.
Beneath the cheating discussion, my best bet can be told in an anecdote:
Once, I saw a predator (valkyrie) running straight up to me - frontal. She was some 20 to 30 metres away - when I suddenly got hit by her claw… That was a little unexpected, the distance between us was by far too big for that. So, I afterwards wondered whether that was due to some asynchronicity between the view of the predator player and my soldier view?
It also might be, that you, in reality already got hit, but due to packet loss or alike, did not get the feedback. It might be bug related…
But yeah, happens to me all the time, in particular in said “slow motion” phases :)
Maybe @Finessology can say something concerning this?
