Hunter or hunted?

Am I the only one who think’s predator doens’t live up to being the ultimate hunter unless you use the broken classes which basicly have all stats maxed out and can only be made more op with extra add-ons you can add to it? like recently I played the game again so I thought why not have a casual predator match as the classic jungle hunter 1987, a tree build, basicly faster predcour, taking less damage in trees, and doing more damage with ranged weapon’s, it ended up being a match were I would mostly have to run for my life as predator while being hunted down and being shot up and having holes added were there shouldn’t be holes by a fireteam squad with the most op weapon’s you can have, this honestly feels like an issue that predator can’t take any damage or fireteam has to op weapons.

The game can be really faithful to the first movie if they fireteam players didn’t know they were playing predator hunting grounds.

Which honestly is an issue if you ask me, like the fact predator is reduced from this strong fearless hunter to like an angry chimpanzee in trees trowing rocks that barely does anything.

predator has always been on the weak side on this game, even in 2020, but wasnt that bad, shit just got worse when they added specs, got a little better when they buffed disk/pistol, added some good pred dlcs classes

but then last year they nerfed caster, pistol, bow, energy drain, so shit is at one of its worst for balance right now

I think the game was at its best in balance in september 2020

Yea, but honestly at this point they should rather instead of getting more money focus on giving some good balance changes or straight up fixing the already existing DLC’S and content and just push an entire overhaul, since I believe some dlc’s like super predator’s have had texture bug’s since release, look at their eyes as an example, also with the fact the latest DLC don’t look that accurate in general, look at wolf and the avp 2004 preds for example, or the emmisary predator, it’s just the default head with super predator texture put on it, they really need to do a big overhaul to fix this mess.

Also I believe none of the human voicelines work anymore either, I tested it earlier today on dutch and none of his voice lines play when using the taunt wheel.

nobody told you how to play the game, they just told you how to win!

Enjoy your space barbie 😆

As a concept idea the game is designed to be a role play hunter. Many predator players live by this concept and they end up being frustrated at the fact that often times they can’t really play like this.

the game, while imagined like this, was not designed to be this. The balance is heavily tilted towards the fireteam unless you are playing solo with 3 random potatoes that can’t even land a shot on a standing still target, much less hold a button to activate and complete an objective. All it takes is two decent fireteam players to tip the scale unfavorably against the predator.

still, using broken classes does not allow for the hunter role play, and you are more of a slasher.

game in spirit wants to be stealthy, but the only stealth capabilities, ironically, are for fireteam on night maps. The Predator is not stealthy by any means. You can easily identify its nearby position by sound and visual cues (branches swinging, leaves falling, dust clouds in both the ground and trees, clicking, eyes flashing, etc.) and all it takes is starting to spray bullets in said direction to quickly identify the exact position pointed out by a huge white icon that shows up once a bullet lands.
