Does the FT have too few objectives? Too fast to complete?

#21

I’d like to see game time increased through more natural means, like removing the map indicators of AI that are not spotted and having wandering patrols. This would force both pred and FT to survey more often and move slower. Maybe even a hostage rescue scenario, though I hate escort missions usually…
At present it’s "rush to point A, shoot, do something, repeat to point B, C etc.

I like the idea that any player missing exfil should be at the mercy of the predator, that would be a cool over-time feature - don’t know how to contain it though.

Omg. Yes. A hostage mission. I haaaate doing those but would love to mess with a rescue mission. I honestly feel that this is a good idea. I say however if by some miracle the mission is successful, the ft should get extra rewards.

YEs i could, PC players using the Cannon had no issues downing FT members when they stood still(something you should never do as FT when the Pred is around) or even lead and hit a moving FT.

Here’s what you have to understand when I play, i dont kill the FT when i down them, i let them res. I might down 3, then let the 4th res them, all the time. This might be because ive played since i was like 7, im now 36, i can land my shots 90% of them time with little to no trouble, but i know it will frustrate the FT if i end the matches in 3 minutes.

Problem now is, its a STRUGGLE to keep pressure on them, it really is. I’m having trouble downing them with ranged so the game forces me to go in melee range and use nets and sticks and claws, resulting in me taking massive amounts of damage. Im not a fan of this, so they nerfed my Oneshotter, wich i used as a pressure weapon and me beeing nice, i let them revive becaus ei wanna play as long as possible each match. Its so nerfed now that they dont fear it, but they would if they had more objectives to run. They can sprint across the map all mudded up and even separating, i have no chance to stop that because the match is so short.

Its not all doom and gloom, there are FT who are horrible at the game, they do evetrythig wrong. They stand still, they hunker up inside small rooms, they dont mud up and they dont res their downed mates and instead try to fend me off even tho im LITERALLY trying to show that im not gonna kill him, please revive so we can go on.

Dragging the match out racks up the best points, ending it in 3 minutes punishes us all. We get 2-5000 xp and then we are back to a long queue.

100% spot on with that.

Escort missions, AI bosses dangerous to both the FT and the Pred, Actual missions where the FT has to do some kidna puzzle to solve that requires braincells, and AI that is equally dangeorus to both the FT and the Pred.

I dont want Pred easymode, i really dont. IF you are a good Pred you wont have any trouble killing the FT, i guess i want more…substance form each match? Not just a race to end the match, and i DONT want the FT chasing down the Pred, it feels completely horrible, they should not have any incentive to do that, whatsoever.

True. altough one shotting from max health was not neccesary. But i you power it up hit one and shoot a small one after you still down them.

Problem is you play like that. But most people don’t they one shotting and end the match asap.
Me 2 like to play with my prey like a cat playing with a mouse. ^^

Balancing is not done though. although i do think do they will solve allot with longer game times like you said.

More time between objectives is needed.

Fireteam definitely needs more interesting and involved objectives that take longer. But it needs to be more than just increasing the clock on some of the objectives or placing them further away.

Yes, it is easy and quick XP and good currency.
On a decent FT that stays together it is basically a quick run through, even after patch 1.06. Just hold off the Pred - quite easy with most of them as they are easily spotted - or if it is a mediocre Pred kill it for the extra bonus: Hakuna Matata!

Even if you are good, a ft that decides to be extra annoying will almost always be impossible to kill.
Even still, I feel the ft has the advantage. All you gotta do is watch out for the pred, 2 ppl shoot it, after a clip the preds at like less than half, if the ft lands the majority of they’re shots.

I still feel the ft has it easier. This being the case I’d like for ft to every once in a while get a mission where they have to rescue a hostage and extract them alive, while having a high number of a.i. chase them, so that way i can kill the hostage to piss them off.

So I’m thinking like a rare mission, not common. Since ft always seems to be so damn annoying it be nice if we could annoy them like that every once in a while.

That aside, I agree with all the stuff you’ve mentioned. That a.i. boss sounds pretty interesting.

Or just slower moving fireteam, they shouldn’t run faster knife equipped, and that minigun at your packbag (which wouldnt Be possible to carry with other guns) should still Be heavy
