HOW THE FCK DOES A SOLDIER IN FT OUT MELEE THE PREDATOR!? A BUTTER KNIFE VS BLADE GAUNTLET AND BUTTER KNIFE WINS!?!?

#42

And I think you underestimate the strength of actual steel, especially some of the more advanced steel made these days. No, breaking after two hits from what is essentially just a powerswing from a 7ft roidrager isn’t going to break a steel combat blade and certainly isn’t something that needs to happen in game.

What needs to happen is that certain Predator players need to learn that Predator isn’t a guaranteed win option. That you can’t just rush a Fireteam in melee and expect to win. That you’re up against a 4 man squad of specialist trained military experts with extensive combat training and skills, and you are supposed to use all the huge advantages you have as a Predator to take them down…one by one. You know, you have Predkour, you have your cloak (which renders you TOTALLY invisible if you stand still for just 2 secs!! You can literally camp on the Fireteam, and if you’re smart you can down them all if you time your attacks right🙄), the Disc is the most overlooked and underrated weapon in your arsenal…there’s so many videos on YouTube of actual skilled Predator players taking down coordinated Fireteam players. They take their time and use strats…

So, Predator players quit whining about parry mechanics and git gud.

It’s not as easy as you think to parry a good Predator in melee especially on console with a controller, in the heat of the battle when your adrenaline going and your eyes are flitting all over trying to keep an eye on the Predator when he’s striking, leaping, striking, and generally not standing still and letting me shoot him like a good Preddy-boi.

quote by dev
They added this feature on purpose so it wont be removed.
This feature has the function to let the predator fight more time in long range except in close range.
In this way the fights are longer and more thrilling.

Yes. Specifically you. Let me kill you dammit. Or you get the net. All 15 of them. XD

Ok, so youve made the mistake of assuming im a predator player, (i play 50/50) the fact that my team is currently on a 68 win streak, (yes im counting because every day it gets more insane, mostly thanks to parry, but also other stuff like sniper rifles etc) has nothing to do with it?

Steel is strong, sure, but predator blades cut through it like nothing, you not seen the movies? How a knife breaks just trying to cut a net in AVP etc? And how do you stop a 500lbs ball of muscle hitting you with a club or combistick with a tiny knife, you’d be more likely to have the knife cut down through yourself with the force it hits you with (since you’re talking realism in a GAME).

Back to game balance though, either the knife has to break after so many parries, or the stagger needs to be removed. One parry, and 2 guys with vectors can burst down a zerker in that time before the pred recovers from 1 melee attempt.

Wanna vs my FT with your pred? See how you do? Since apparently you’re amazing and know something about pred nobody else does.

I know the net gun is the equalizer for parrying but why should a Predator player be forced to have it in his load out at all times in whichever class just to counter this.

Besides i’m more aggravated that the devs even thought that a knife can parry Predator’s blade gauntlet, elder sword, or combi stick.

If you truly believe that bull shit then i got news for you…

CONGRATULATIONS YOU PLAYED YOURSELF.

Theres pretty much judo, or jujitsu I forget which one, that focuses on using the opponents momentum against them. Using a technique like that I can see a parry happen. Good point though on bringing up the preds weight. Not only that I cant even imagine the sheer force from a pred swing, at full strength going off how far they can jump.

#53

Without the knife, the fireteam has no chance in close combat !. Especially since the Predator can strike often… You are doing something wrong 💀.

#54

Nobodys wanting to take away the knife, but it has to be either breakable, or remove the stagger.

#55

Honestly I think breaking the knife would be a bit too extreme. I would propose making it so that neither the FT member or the predator take damage from each other’s melee attack during a parry, and half the current stun time on the predator. This would allow any predator with half a brain to realize oh, I’ve been parried 3 times now I should probably try something else.

#56

Keep the knife in the game however parrying needs a cool down of some sort.

For one instance (the first time i noticed FT had the ability to parry) i downed 3 FT soldiers leaving just one, i saw he was only holding a knife so logically i rush him to melee him off but we ended up basically sword fighting for like 2 whole minutes his knife vs alien technology wrist blades. I didn’t know what the fuck was going on so i jumped in a tree and just let it rain on him with plasma until he died.

It was only after that i found out he was parrying me then i started to laugh my ass off

Basically you complain because one out of 4 can handle a knife.😂 That’s unfair ?. Holy moly.

It’s good for Hollywood movies but doesn’t work in real world. You can have a black belt in judo/JJ, but if your weight is like 60kg you’ll never be able to win a big, muscular guy in his 120+. Of course, if he knows how to fight (and Predators know). I mean, he can be wrestler/boxer/etc, not a judo/JJ master. Maybe even street fighter. Same for knife against sword/spear. If you know how to use spear/sword or even just wooden stick - knife is not a problem. At all. And if you’re stronger than your opponent… well, it’s an easy win.

Dude, I’m just watching that scene and came here to comment!! Nice!!

Danny Glover downed the Predator with 7 shotgun rounds.
Danny Glover parries the Predator multiple times in the scene kindly illustrated by @DK12
Danny Glover isn’t even a special forces soldier…yet, he still managed to melee a Predator.

Danny Glover says get gud SCRUBZ😈

Indeed. Close combat means the FT let the Predator come close to them and THIS is a HUGE mistake. FT have to shoot the Predator down BEFORE the close combat begins. Even it has began, FT has 3 members who should use their ranged weapons to kill the Predator. Not like it is now: “Oh f*ck, we were so busy counting crows around so let the Predator come close to us. Ah, nevermind! Let’s just use our knives and protect ourselves! If he won’t run away - we’ll kill him with our knives! We’re squad of Marvel superheroes, aren’t we?”
