I agree with everything you said except for sniper rifles. The snipers are balanced out because of the slow ADS movement, but everything else is correct.
Get rid of parrying
Are you on PS4 or PC? I use the sniper on PC and I usually down the predator before it even knows whatās happening
Show your opinion about balance by filling out this questionnaire. I made a new post and a questionnaire about balance. Check out the post here please:
Thought: Leave parrying, but adjust the amount of times you can do it/make it harder to do/change into a block where the gun is held up and have it last two hits before youāre forced to drop the gun on the groundā¦ something like that.
lol im getting tired of reading all these posts by bad players. If the fireteam has time too parry, and shoot you. You are doing something wrong. If they start parrying you just switch too plasma caster, and shoot them in their face.
Miniguns arenāt as dangerous as people think itās just knowing who to attack how when etc the hardest part is getting enemies to split up and making opportunities to flush out the main ones that will cause the most trouble especially since all it takes is to net an isolated mini gunner with the trapper perk and heās in trouble and vulnerable
To everyone that said āI want to play as Arnold!ā, well, here you go. Get your knife out, throw some mud on, and see what happens. Mind you, this Predator looks slightly more aggressive, and the humanā¦ slightly smaller.
By the way, Elne, net him. Thatāll throw a wrench in his drawer real quick.
Has to be away from his buddies though
Thank you for the tip but itās not my video, it was posted by u/Tkorolon on the subreddit
A pred tried this in an earlier match, didnt help him as I just ran up and tried k nifong him, he dodged well, but he also couldnt get the shots off onto me, plus Iāll just dodge behind a wall or tree to ensure the bolt doesnt hit, unless its charged it wont kill me so Iāve got time to dodge. Most predators Iāve seen are learning after the first parry, switch targets or retreat. One guy I fought thought it a good idea to leap behind me after the fist parry thinking it would catch me off guard, boy was he suprised when I got that second parry putting him into second wind.
I cant watch that video for some reason
one person can just parry over and over and over and still smack you with their knife.
It can get really hard to split apart a team with the bs spotting system FT gets, sometimes they spot you before you even find them. You canāt split them up if youāre getting shot at all the time.
Iām a for limiting the parrying as it should be punishing to be alone in a 1v4 gameā¦ you shouldnāt have the power to down a pred 1v1 meleeā¦ like almost ever. If it was a deathmatch game sure, free for all w.e but itās not. Itās a team game vs a supposedly terrifying badass hunter. Iāve won my fair share but man do the marines really just hold their ground and fuck me up a lot. Those that abuse the sprint/jump for infinite stamā¦ with same speed. To the recons running the perks to essentially destroy in melee XD upon getting parried Iāll try to jump so itās less obvious where Iāll come from and harder for bullets to hitā¦ one lil tip I havenāt seen anyone mention is if you donāt swing at them directly and let the cleave damage hit them you wonāt get parried. š Snipers are a bit too high of fire rate imo and the fact that the syringes donāt slow you down on use is also a bit likeā¦ kā¦ and it just sucks that in order to win thereās only 1 viable build for pred currently thatās super consistentā¦ but once you run into a F.T that actually can parry you might just get shit on in a matter of 2 seconds XD wayyy too punishing for 1-2 swings imo.
I use a PS4 controller on PC
Take some time to learn each side and you will see that well-skilled predator can defeat a well-skilled fireteam, or the other way around; it becomes a close game. The state of the game is fine.
Just remove the stun effect, and make the one who parry take a little dmg
Not viable or useful to the game
