maybe it’s because FT missions are so dumb. But as the level of predators increase they will be better.
I just played one match today (as the predator) and i won by time. I was so intense on the fireteam that they couldn’t leave their place. I managed to kill 2 in the process , the other got scared and couldnt complete the dumb objectives.
so, as the level of preds rise, ft members will start to find the game more interesting.
Well players are maxing out FT and it makes it less rewarding to play. I have everything level 10, so give us more guns or equipment or something to work towards
That “placing => connecting => cooldown” thing the matchmaking does isn’t helping. I have the feeling matchmaking’s been broken since day 1 and it gets worse as time goes on.
I would also love to play as FT, if it was an intense, enjoyable, smooth gaming experience.
There are other survival or asymmetrical games which have created that atmosphere so it is possible. Whether Illfonic achieved what they intended will be up to them.
I can say i can imagine a fireteam experience i would love to play, this one however isn’t it. And it is only just The Predator experience I wished it was as well.
I would love to join every match with no preference, not wait and enjoy myself either way.
its like preddy or the servers are shit
1- They could create rooms where players could join and wait their turn just like fighting games like sf5.
2 - Players should be able to create their networks (outside the main one) just like titanfall 2.
These two would be way better than the actual matchmaking system where players are picked by a buggy algorithm.
This is not working for anybody.
I just was unable to play because of that irritating “WAITING” sign!
The lobby was full and this “waiting” fucked up for everybody AGAIN!
THEY NEED TO CHANGE THIS RIGHT NOW BEFORE THE GAME DIES!
I think it’s a mixture of server issues and the nearly one sided playerbase. I mean let’s be honest 95% of the people who bought this game want to play as the Predator. Any time I get into the queue for FT I get a game in less than 40 seconds, whereas the Predator can be anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes. There are times where the FT queue can take longer than it should but most of the time it’s VERY quick. So like I said it’s probably a mixture of the two but the nearly one sided playerbase is the main issue if you ask me. There’s just not too much incentive to play the FT when you can play as the coolest part of the series.
To me the long waiting time happens due to the matches’ format.
FOR ONE GAME TO START WE NEED 5 PLAYERS
fireteam - 4 slots ( if you wanna play you’ll probably find one)
predator - 1 slot (for every 4 ft players 1 pred only, can join)
predator queue gets longer cuz, only one player is alowed per game
ex lets suppose there are 15 players wanting ft and 15 wanting pred.
game 1 - 4 ft players get to play - 1 pred is alowed
players left => 11 wanting to play ft - 14 wanting to play pred
game 2 - 4 ft players get to play - 1 pred is alowed
players left => 7 wanting to play ft - 13 wanting to play pred
…
…
So, players wanting to play ft get thier games 4 times faster the players wanting to play pred.
to change this, maybe a new mode with up to 8 ft members against 2 preds.
or anything else. We depend on illfonic.
