You will never chase the Predator down unless he’s out of stamina this game is all skill based… some people are good some people are bad just the way life works this game is very easy on both sides
I now understand pred players frustrations
You can destroy a predator with only 2 people with lmgs it’s very easy

I think their issue is that they want to be able to reliably destroy the pred as two scouts with pistols instead.

James Cameron does this on his own when he is bored. Once he have the predator a 14 minute head start and still won. The pred was called something like @Drakos
Lol what are four ps4 players going to do against the top 10% of pc preds hopping around with a bow? Unless you give them aim assist they can’t track a pred hitting them like that ever. Massive skill gap but yes lets pretend you’ve seen bunnyhopping bow predators in even an small percentage of your matches.
They didn’t have a chance the same way pubs in counter strike don’t stand a chance against smurfs. There is no skill based matchmaking.
If the predator is really bad, sure. For instance LMG suck at a distance.
I bet this is the reason why so many people want to nerf FT. Because all they do is melee and expect to destroy the entire team. When that FT uses counters (LMG, parry) they scream bloody murder!
I know they can’t. Those are the casual players who are already getting destroyed. Nerfing them even more is not the answer… Well if you want to get a que pop on predator. I even made a post in the forums post he made with that video on this.
People want to nerf “counters” (lmgs and parry that dont actually have a niche they’re just good at everything lol lmg is a pocket minigun even at medium ranges doesnt even slow you down but lets pretend being able to kill a zerk with half a mag is bad. Its a more meta AK for people that miss. Meanwhille parry just negates melee playstyles entirely if your team isnt afk.) One guy parrying and the other carrying an lmg is a dead predator during the stun and this is 90% of my braindead wins in pubs. Vast majority of bow preds can’t hit anything (ps4 preds lol) so they can’t put out enough damage before we either finish the objectives that take 5 mins or b. they try to commit to a kill, quick claim, or try to melee for easier dmg and die.
The two playstyles for pred are - play super fucking far away outside of big damage range of most guns prefiring caster shots around corners.
B. Cornercheck and hop around with bow like its unreal tournament above
And I guess C. Stab ps4 players in the back because they cannot spin around to parry or hit a leaping/sprinting pred.

Dude, LMG is bad at range. Leap to him or come from the back. If you are in his face you should melt! This is the reason why I run AR (hammerhead). If the pred is on me (like in melee range) I go knife or I am dead before I can melt him.
If you find a guy that can parry and he sees you coming and has a mate with an LMG next to him and you still commit to kill him(from about full health)… You’re doing something very wrong.
How much damage does a spear throw? Its 1 shoot, now that is some good damage. You’re not going to find FT at full health most of the time. So yeah, 1 shoot!
Parry does not negate melee play style. Melee is what kill people the most in this game, you’re just expected to do more then just run at the FT and swing for the win!(This actually works most of the time against PS players). Come from the back, swing a few, when he turns around and equips the knife, combistick his face (throw it). Or just use net gun, that is mandatory if all you want to do is run melee.
Bow is fine on PS predators assuming he is facing other PS FT… If he is facing PC players… Yeah… I’ve seen a PS pred gun down with plasma pistol all 3 of my PS team mates. I revived them, then I got to see the predator repeat that event again. They just stood there in the open looking around and trying to return fire as they where getting killed.

If you are dying to melee or letting your whole team die to melee you are doing something wrong especially if the pred isnt running netgun with it that’s mandatory for melee to even be viable.
You are dying from melee because you’re using hammerhead either panic reloading, nading yourself, or focusing on parrying 7 times in a row hoping your team will focus down the pred which they won’t. Backpedal and hold down the fire button at the preds face, the only time they kill me with a melee string ever before losing 75% hp or second winding is if I get cornerchecked by an elder sword. If they’re using katana it does no upfront damage vs a support so I can just parry it at half hp and pop a syringe and the pred is dead by then. You only need one good parry, not 4 in a row. Usually ps4 ft’s can clean up if I must be the first to go down. This is MAJORITY of my FT matches just afk grinding with gearhead support and an lmg. It’s not a counter its just good at everything minus sniping for people who don’t feel like trying.
Melee and being in melee range is trash period thus negated as a playstyle because you are forfeiting a bunch of hp for single target damage and animations that allow people to get free hits on you. 90% of predators don’t play at sniper range where the damage drop off for LMG even matters.

There is a difference between the predator and playing as part of the FT, you can improve yourself, not others. You can choose the platform you play the game, can’t choose for others. So no, that does not apply the other way around.
If you think any decent predator is going to die when you backpadel and empty your mag in his face… I am at a loss for words, this could work on noobs but that is it. You can’t out DPS him when he is in your face with melee. If you don’t pull your knife out, you’re dead.
Unless you’re playing as a premade team where people communicate, the predator is going to get lots of chances where people are separated to do his thing, kill 1 guy and go eat a pig.
The LMG is bad even at medium range. It spreads to much. The LMG is only good at close range when the pred does not focuses you (you need your knife out).

What spread? I need to go ahead and make a montage of people trying to use the katana
That is:
A-Close range.
B-A dumb predator running head first into 4 players.
Fail to see your point.
Are you on PS4? I’ll show u how a real predator can kill your team with the quickness…
Actually it’s
A. Someone being in line of sight for 5 seconds trying to melee ever
B. Potato teammate’s delayed reaction being to throw a smoke grenade
Can’t see the other players and even if the “potato” got any bullets in. I already know that LMG can kill a pred in 4-5 seconds in close range. That predator was really bad. Running at the enemy like that and you lose even if the FT has a AR equipped.
Things change when the predator comes from your blind side (there is a reason why FT has 1st person and pred has 3rd person) or LEAPS at you.
I would really rather not give up the only advantage I get playing Scout. The fact that a Predator can one shot me isn’t enough of an advantage, I don’t know what to tell you.
Did you try turning down your settings if you can’t figure the directional clicking out?
I can figure out just fine but when he starts leaping its not easy to track him and he does not make sounds constantly. I got a 5.1 system. I can always tell the general direction he is at by his sounds but, again, he does not do that constantly. If you think its hard for the predator to come at you from your blind side… I have no idea what to say.
Take that guy from your example. If he was with that guy in 2. The predator leaping and slamming on top of him would equal and easy win. No idea why he choose to run at a guy with an LMG.
Yep in an ideal world the other guy also has an lmg or any capability to aim instead of being a smoke grenade using potato and whoever doesn’t get slammed on nukes the pred while he’s stuck in slam animation and I pop a syringe because we’re two people. Team game.
