Chopper Instance improvements?

#1

When FT calls the chopper this should be a suspenseful time, and sometimes it is. Other times it seems like the FT doesn’t need to cover much ground before the ropes drop. What would you do to improve this point in the match? I feel like it’s lacking something.

I think you should have to get to a location to radio the chopper, then they give you an exfil location that you must get to in a limited amount of time as opposed to the current method of going to the exfil location and dancing around on the spot for 20 seconds.

The game needs to not end if any number of FT don’t get to the chopper.

The chopper needs to automatically arrive at a certain time(15 mins) not be called in 3 minutes into the game.

Also I think pred should be able to blow the helicopter up before it picks up the FT or at least damage it enough to where they have less time to escape or the helicopter must return after being repaired.

And if the chopper is blown up FT should still be able to escape by reaching a point at the edge of the map like in Friday the 13th

I’m against waiting 15 full minutes on chopper since some matches really are won by sprinting to chopper with Predator in pursuit. And with say only one or two survivors this puts it in Predator’s favor immensely if they have to complete an arbitrary task simply to end the match.

However,
I’d be fine with Predator shooting down the chopper with the caveat that it’s health bar is the timer. The more the Predator shoots it the less time FT have to escape and if it goes down it has the chance of killing surviving FT or even injuring/killing Predator. At that point FT has to kill Predator to win. With this in mind this means FT can’t really screw around at Exfil and that they all have to leave else Predator could strand them or kill everybody already aboard chopper. We might need a new ending cinematic for it but it’d be kind of cool.

It feels lacking because most predators aren’t able to provide a challenge.

This. Find a good predator and its very challenging keeping him off of you with the NPCs attacking, more so now with the added buffs to NPCs.

This is the reason so many people complain on how fast FT can complete objectives, because they can’t delay the FT by pestering them.

I would agree with damaging the chopper only from very close proximity, so the predator does not get up on a roof, across the map, and shoots from there.
