Game modes y'all would like to see

How dose everybody feel about about a 3v3 preds only

Just a simple hunt mode. No objective other than kill or survive. If the pred wipes the FT then a random FT member becomes the predator.

If an FT member kills the predator then they respawn as the pred. I don’t get why it’s not in the game already as it can’t be hard to develop it since it’s just a mission with no objective and some respawning. Old avp game had a mode like that.

Ya try tru.

Yeah, but you’ll need to completely rebalance how everything works if you take away missions.

I think Predator versus Predator would be too spastic based off our Abilities.

I think a Hot Potato mode would be pretty interesting, if not a bit crazy.

So it’s essentially 4v4 and whomever has the highest score is the Predator. Kinda like Juggernaut from Halo but oriented to Hunting Grounds setup.

Although also not In a Predator’s favor, A and B Fireteams versus 1 or 2 Predators (who could also work either against or with one another) would be interesting as well.

I dont think predator vs predator in that sort of context would work.

It would be like mortal kombat with combi-sticks because they have the same strengths and weaknesses. The element of asymmetry is lost.

Why not have like pred vs pred but rather than pit them directly against each other they have a map filled with really strong FT like AI and must compete to claim the most points based on claims and honour gained?

Less points for wading in killing everything that moves, more points for stylish execution, stealth and long claims.

The predators cannot directly harm each other but can have abilities on cool down that might for instance disable their competitions vision modes or stealth for 1 minute, maybe even by picking up certain power ups?

Or choosing your skills from the start like perks?

Would be really interesting as an alternative to PvFT.

Personally I just want the mode to change to a F13 style lobby where everyone presses join quick match and a predator is selected at random from the lobby based on weighting - such as how many predator games you have had that day, how many rounds of FT you have played consecutively etc. And that may help with match-making but it could be too smart as illfonic would have to track everyone’s play history etc.

Yeah but no one’s going to play the game after just randomly that’s the point of the game people want to play The Predator

I’ve said this before people will back out if they’re not picked as predator just pure logic

4v12 like the movie predators

I would like to replicate the first AVP movie. 4 marines going into that pyramid under the ice and having NPC aliens instead of humans (they need to be weak enough) and a predator going in there to hunt the humans (marines). Marines have to get to the center, grab a object and then get back and get back to the surface and then to some chopper (or whatever) to escape.

Current objective mode should stay. Any additional modes I’d like to see? Balance will probably be out the window at this point, but oh well …

Deathmatch - Anything goes. Pred vs pred melee fights? Yes sir count me in.

Team deathmatch - pred vs humans / pred vs pred / humans vs human. Why not? Can’t go wrong with some extra mayhem.

Survivor - 1/2 pred vs 4/8 humans. Last one / team to stand wins.

That’s part of the problem. People refusing to play some FT and actually contribute. If those people disappear then there will still be plenty of preds.

Let’s be objective. 2-3 hunters vs 8-16 people are the most needed mode for now. It’s just the best variant! Or like some Super Predator invasion for like super predator that trying to hunt down simple pred and humans

I have a few ideas.

  1. extraction.

there are 2 competing fireteams that are trying to find scattered predator tech across the map while the predator has to destroy it and kill both fire teams

  1. hunting party

A team of up to 4 predators face off against a fireteam. Predators have no healing kits and lowered hp. When one predator dies, another fills their place.

  1. Bad Blood

An enforcer predator has to hunt a dishonorable yautja.

  1. turf war

Competing gang factions and police battle over control over the streets of LA, all while a predator searches for the most worthy prey

  1. survival

A group of hand picked prey must fight to survive on an alien planet. Alliances will be forged and destroyed. Resources are scarce. The stakes are high. The hunt is on.

+1 for this. I really hope Illfonic are listening. Let’s make AngryJoe eat his words.

If they ever add xenomorphs, it would be cool to have a few of these modes

1v1v4
Pred vs alien vs ft

Survival
Everyone’s pitching ideas of a ft survival mode, but I think it would be cool to have a survival mode where rather than being ft u would be xenomorphs

Another mode I think would be cool is to have a mode similar to wut we already have, but the xenos replace ai

So long as gamemodes remain randomly selected from the lobby of the Quick Game then we have something viable.
Otherwise, its up to the host of the private match to select it (which i don’t think is an issue).

Posted this before but I’ll try again in hopes Illfonic sees it and realises that the games current structure will never keep a playerbase. Predator is too lonely and fireteam is too straightforward. Also games are far too quick

A lot of people are struggling with queue times and that they think games are too short or shouldn’t have a timer. I think an additional game mode for more people would be great, and adding a survival or king of the hill style mechanic to this mode could make for a much better gameplay loop.

Larger game preserve style maps from predators 2010

Two predators work together to kill fireteam members and possibly also to try to hunt the predalien abomination or AI xenomorphs

Fireteam members are split into team A and B, who both have varying objectives across the map, all of which must be completed for them to extract.

No timer, you join and if you wipe the other team out you can choose to stay in the lobby with limited resources and await more fireteams + AI alien prey.

A lot of people on the subreddit are into the idea! :) I really think there is an audience for this larger scale multiplayer mode!

Thanks for reading, and if anyone from Illfonic is reading thanks for making a really great predator game. The foundation here for an awesome experience is really good, looking forward to future content.
