So overall with my experience with this entire game. I found the fire time has way too much equipment and little risk.
AI is non-threat
Multiple fast heals, ontop of extras that can be brought
And some perks are sort unbalanced
But most of all beyond is their firepower.
Shotguns should not be secondaries. Neither should Ol’ painless.
There’s no give and take with their weapons. You rock a mid range assault rifle and a powerful secondary. Or worse 4 x GLs or Mini guns.
Weapon loadouts need a tradeoff. SMGs should not have drum clips.
Reduce ammo refill and gear refill. Health syringes should be very limited and take equal time to heal like the predator.
On recon I have 4 flashbangs, and 3 grenades and 3 heals, my silenced AUG, spas12, extended clips are gonna make the load out even worse.
Then there’s silencers with no negatives and extended clips on every gun. No negatives eithers.
The more I play and look at look back, its not that Predator needs a buff or is too weak, its just that Fireteam is waaaaaay too strong and has little risk and super easy objectives. Theres no risk or reason for them to split up. There’s no war of attrition, theres so many places to reload and refill, revive teammates.
I think Illfonic severely underestimated FireTeam Loadouts and overestimated the Predator abilities.
