The whole point of the game is that if the FT knows what they are doing the Predator will fail.
75% of the matches are with Fire Teams that don’t know what the hell they are doing. I don’t get the constant complains to nerf them. What do you want? Win all the time? Where’s the fun in that? Where’s the challenge?
Fireteam still needs a nerf
I do see where you’re coming from, but in a short matter of time, the community learned how to win with FT. We learned within the first two weeks. Many others learned after the first month. The bad FT players you see now are either newer to the game, or experienced but without their team. It’s only a matter of time before most of the community acquires the skill we possess. Thank you for actually producing an intellectual and knowledgeable argument against me, by the by. Most others that disagree will just plaster a big ol’ Git Gud like they’re making a valid point.
And I think that’s part of the gameplay. We are all humans. We learn and we adapt. Part of what the Yautja is, is challenging themselves with worthy prey. So they can learn from it, adapt and evolve. Against a good FT you will need to adapt, change your strategy, lure them and split them apart. You have a myriad of tools at your disposal to do so. It’s called HUNTING grounds. It’s how you hunt. Nobody goes hunting shooting bullets all over the place to every visible prey. You isolate it and then you kill it.
I agree that things are too easy when I’m with my usual team mates, except for the occasional skilled Predator who catches us out when we’re too busy goofing around in voice chat to pay attention. For a challenge I’ll play public matches with randoms.
Quick Play should be for casual games, a free for all fun experience that everyone enjoys…what’s missing is a ranked, competitive mode. How Illfonic missed the opportunity to do this is beyond me? Did they not think that people would want to prove who was the better Predator player, who was the best Predator hunter in their class?? Maybe it’ll happen in the future, for now it is what it is…an unbalanced matchmaking nightmare.
@VENN7eance Because its not easy to give ppl a ranking in this type of game.
On the pred side sure, but the ft side?
What if you get carried? Or you didnt do shit to the pred but yur team still won?
But you did all the objectives?
Would that make it so you did good?
Would be lack of getting downed thats good?
Should we base it off accuracy?
Lol I’m not trying to be a smart ass, but it’s not a easy system to implement.
Unless you do a system based off an entire teams wins/losses. Essentially you could only do ranked mode in a full squad.
But then more problems still arise.
On pc side, click doesnt work properly, and I swear audio comes through more clearly, so it’s super easy to see a pred. Even tho most pc players agree that pred stealth sucks, they somehow still think things work properly over there.
Then prob number 2. Use us when we team up as an example. Even vs a pred that knows how to play, if they make one mistake, we murder them.
Its still too unbalanced for a ranked mode imo.
But if they can fix all the issues, bugs and balancing, a ranked mode I dobt think would be all that bad.

Just a quick and basic question-if the Predator is so underpowered…Why the hell are 90 percent of you Predator mains?First person to answer me this gets a cookie. People don’t play a horrible underpowered character 24/7 and we all know it. Enough with this crap. The load times for Predator are like 6-10 minutes,who are you people kidding?
because it’s more fun to play the predator than generic FPS where you hold down buttons and kill braindead bullet sponges FT just runs into the issue of being the CLEAR power role when they can kill him in less than 5 seconds at any time assuming they know what to do which more and more players are learning every day

I think what a lot of us forget in here is that the vast majority of players are randoms. They play a few rounds here and there. They aren’t elite fireteams. When the game first came out all of us who decimate preds now couldn’t do it at the time. We have had practice and we play with other good players. Most players are still practically noobs by comparison.
Unfortunately the devs need to cater to the casuals as they are the majority.
Hardest thing about game balance, casuals bring in the money but pros bring in the casuals.
Pros cause the casuals to quit the game too.
Lol right. Although sometimes it’s the above medium people that casuals get mad at, the old “try hard” term.
Yeah. I still don’t see why that’s an insult. I got called a try hard for owning people in GTA5 once and i just don’t get it.
But yeah it’s frustrating as a casual if you buy a game like this once it’s been out a while and there’s lots of elite players that just rape you. Saying git gud isn’t always fair either as they might not have the time we do to play.
Maybe there could be 2 queues. Ranked and casual.
That could possibly lead to even longer pred wait times
I play FT support to relax and grind out weeklies half asleep holding down the trigger on the LMG hipfiring randomly for 2k dmg min.
Play pred to hear hotmicing angry ps4 players.
Then come to the forums to watch people unable to do math.

I play predator because i paid for predator. I have dutch dlc but played him maybe twice just for that get to the choppa… I will buy every dlc that will come out. But i will still play the predator only. And dlc for fireteam like dutch i will buy those too but only to support devs here. I have a friend who is playing ft only. He plays dbd survivor only too. He likes the adrenalin of being hunted. But if i wanted to play generic fps i would switch to cod or bf…

See my view point on the FT side is although it’s an FPS I’ve never felt like I was playing CoD.
I dont play fps much. In past i played plenty fps games. But now my interest in games is pretty small. I like this game, i play sometimes red dead online, but i really like stealth games. Old splinter cells and mgs. Now i wait for ghost of tsushima…
Yeah stealth/fighting games are more my thing. Have you tried Hitman it’s pretty fun.

I played all hitmans. But last two games are booring… blood money was/is best. Maybe if the new hitman will have coop multiplayer i will try that.
I’ll have to try blood money I actually enjoy the most recent Hitman I just came from binge playing Styx so maybe my expectations were low. (God that game had so many repeat levels)
