I like it. BUT think about how aids that would be for the predator. You are fighting the last 3, kill one, it’s very close you think BET TWO LEFT! then suddenly they are dishing out an extra 15 percent and melt you lol
I play both sides and facts are facts

I’m aware. I’m saying these should be preemptive ambushes you can set
It should not be easy, its just that the difficulty should not come from AI and PVE. I both a pvp game for a reason. The PREDATOR should have ways of making it harder (perhaps even sabotages).
Yeah but it’s already that when you open the map on the loading screen and see 4 assaults with deadly or dutches and assaults all running fanatic.

Disagree.
I do like the sound of it, the part I disagree with is not having all these options in one match.
The pred should have have several options and choices.
As a lot of people agreed with Before, the pred should be able to overwhelm the ft with tech.
Making His kit able to effectively Engage more than one person at a time would help a Lot.

Yes that sounds fun.
But I’m mainly talking for myself as ft.
I would like the missions to feel like a wildlands mission.
I want the mission to be hard and not easy.
It would require bigger maps tho, and longer mission times.
Right now completing a mission does not feel rewarding to me.
Personally I think that’s a little much. In the end the premise of the game is still 4v1 despite balancing issues. Objectives should delay the fireteam long enough for the Predator to successfully engage. Right now it’s the other way around in that the Predator slows the FT from completing its mission.
Perhaps but I’ll never tell.

I still stand by my point tho.
I feel like the mission should have danger as well, and possibility of failure.
So if the mission fails, cause of some objective going wrong, then they need to do a rush to escape the entire map being alerted.
Idk it would be more interesting lol.

Think there’s a better middle ground that that. Any kind of mission failure scenario could be influenced by the pred, so you’d wind up with people bitching it’s not fair because the pred made us fail the mission.
Make the missions longer and a little more complex than look and hold button, but let’s keep the focus on FT vs. Pred
I’d agree with you if it wasnt for the fact that everyone wants pred to play like a bitch.
So be it then.
I would absolutely love to sabotage the mission.
I mean that’s part of setting up a trap.
Nothing the ft does is fair, so let us have fun too.
Personally I’m still for modeling after Pred 1’s plot. Let the FT do their mission, blow through an entire encampment, whatever. 3 minutes and done, fantastic, good job FT, now call for exfil…
They say this place is too hot for a pick up, we need to evade stargazer forces until the smoke clears and the chopper can get here…hey whats that shimmer? And where’s Hawkins?
Edit: I’m basically saying I still think exfil should only be able to be triggered after at the very least 10 minutes of game play

I would like it if FT missions and mechanics were on par with today’s shooters. FT should be cool and interesting to play on its own. Then throw predator into the mix. That’s how I envisioned this game. Not the bug filled jenky mechanic boring fucking mess it is now 🙁

Its mainly due to the specializations of some classes that together with their stats make the individual fireteam too strong for a 1x4 game, and when you build a great team with all the right combination of those that are communicating on discord, know how to work together, are good aiming and parrying well it gets broken.
I have joined a team that like to play private matches, 2 of us alternate the Predator against the others and yeah we are alternating the one that gets screwed cus you build a team of 2 Medics + 2 Dutch87 with perks like thick skin+bane the Predator is gonna suffer. Finishing off guys that are down with arrow or plasma isn’t a option cus medic prevents that, they have a lot of resources since 2 supports, then Dutch87 with reckless/leader + hammerhead + bane + mud damage resistance + hipfire damage you gonna get some damage. Even with me alternating on different fireteam classes it still op due to the others. To win as Predator you will need patience, luck, pigs, a very different strategy than what was done before the Medic came.
And then there are the bugs that screw the Predator even more, sure fireteam get some, one of my teammates couldn’t use their gear in a match, but then Predator got the attacking on his own bug, I have been getting that one a lot after throwing the spear, then the Predator does a melee as if the spear is still on his hand. Not being able to run or pounce on moments like in second wind lol imagine how frustating that is.
Also there is the possibilty of the fireteam choosing to not do the mission and just camp on one location to fight the Predator 4x1, not wanting to have to worry about fighting AI and objetives, that situation only make things more broken.
I agree with the exfill idea.I also think reinforcements should be changed to show a chopper come in and drop off the reinforcements, of course this means you can’t just start it and leave it a just a little bit before it’s ready to reinforce.

I’m a FT main, and FT is extremely broken IMO, too.
This is tricky. The reinforcements mechanic as it is has actually become a lot of fun for me and allows for great strategy play. So yes from a “feel” perspective you’re right it should be another chopper infil and position of some vulnerability for the FT. From a gameplay perspective though the “warp in” makes for a lot of interesting play
As it is now they’re already vulnerable since I love to let them reinforce and the second they get back they get a face full of plasma and they just start scrambling everywhere.
Idk I feel the whole process would take the same amount of time as the regular timer without any stops. Maybe as an added measure they can make it so that if the pred is to close to the chopper it would spot you or shoot with a Minigun which would be the same as the in game one but would track you better than anyone.
It’s more the mechanic of reinforcements. As FT sometimes the “big brain” move of triggering it but leaving the area until last man standing to finish it. Plus when the pred rushes to make the kill before they arrive and your running in a blue circle kiting him like a Scooby-Doo chase is a lot of fun sometimes 😁

It’s fun until you get a good team and you kill all 3 that you thought were the last ones only for the 4th to be at the radio and revive them and then they rush exfill… @GetToLaChappa
