I think the best way I can describe this situation is that the fireteam are like the favourite child of this game and predator is neglected and left in a corner.
Playing as the fireteam has gotten so stale because of how easy it is, even with randoms I find most of the time it can be a cake walk. You have poor objective designs that are simple and can be completed so quickly. You also have dumb AI that are barely noticeable until they call in reinforcements.
You’re basically getting everything handed to you that it’s not even fun. You have high damage weapons, Tons of gear that can be resupplied, You can heal yourself and teammates a ridiculous amount of times, you get to come back when you’re dead (which completely sucks the fear factor out of the game), you get all your gear back when you come back and your weapons are easy to use because their hit scan and aren’t projectiles.
As for the predator, the neglected child in this case, you feel like you’re pushed into a corner. No matter what you do, the fireteam can do sevenfold and counter it so easily. You have ranged weapons that expose your location and do piss poor damage, you have the awful clunky melee that gets negated because of the parry that stuns you in place, and the melee weapons do barely any damage considering how easily they’re countered. You have cloak that is most of the time not worth using, you really can’t be stealthy because of the constant loud noises you make really your only advantages are predkour, second wind and the pigs. Which compared to the advantages fireteam have, it really doesn’t suffice.
