If you play a match as Predator you shouldn't be able to play another until you've completed a match as FT.

The title says it all really. Just an idea but for a lot of us it’s hard and getting increasingly harder to get a match as Predator. There’s other people who claim they only play Predator. I read people claiming they are level 100 and they only play Predator. How is this fair? I paid $100 AUD for a game called Predator: Hunting grounds and I can’t get a match as Predator. Just a joke really and getting sick of it TBH.

ATM avg queue time for Pred for me on lvl.100 (PC) is 7-10 min.

20mins- 2hrs lol :) (PC)

Make friends - set up private lobby - rotate pred - profit.

Edit: most people actually already do this

We’ve been doing nothing but private matches to give preds a chance, since the queues are ridiculous and we’re mostly FT.

Well, why can’t you also play Predator like these ppl? They are waiting for 5-10 mins (sometimes more, because of the bugs and empty lobby). They don’t use any cheats/hacks. Do the same.

P.S. We need 4 ppl for FT and 1 for Predator. So maybe we have to complete 4(!) matches as a FT member before you’d be able to play 1 game as a Predator? lol

Playing “Pred Main” can take a lot of patients and perseverance.

This is an extreme example, my queue times are probably closer to around 8-10 minutes but it can vary quite a bit sometimes.

Someone did the math based off of the expected times he saw in his queue and calculated out that there was just over 2 Predator players per FT player in queue at that time. Pretty sure this was not able to account for everything, but I found it quite interesting.

You only count as 1 of 4 when you play hes literally saying take one turn not 4, but I guess being part of some kind of solution to long wait times doesn’t appeal to you selfish people

lol. yeah right. they try force this on people. and watch them walk away and not come back to the game. ive played tons of ft and im bored of it. trying to force people doesnt work out. they will just go play another game. think about it

@4evawaiting4amatch never did post their queue times so as far as we know he is just not patient enough to wait 10 minutes vs the 1 minute for FT queue - like the rest of us selfish people.

Also, troll account name is troll account name.

That’s pretty much what I do, I played about 70/30 as FT early on mainly because the FT has more to do in terms of leveling up weapons etc. But once all my weapons where max level I tend to do 1 game as FT and 1 game as Pred

I wish people would realize its also that the matchmaking system seems to be bugged. There are a lot of willing ft players.

And if you made it so that you restrict pred choice, you would make a lot of ppl walk away.

Because the XP payouts for Predator players are fucking ridiculous, you can go into a Private solo match as a Predator, stand there and do nothing until the countdown ends and still earn more than a Fireteam member would for playing and competing all the objectives.

But each to their own. I bought the game wanting to play as Predator, waiting times made me just suck it up and play Fireteam…and I’m glad I did, because I earned my lvl100 and I learned way more about this game than someone who’s only played as Predator.

I think expecting everybody else to clear a path for you, so they can jump the line and not get in queue like everyone else is rather selfish, just say’in.

I consider myself a “Pred Main.” I have been level 100 since week 2. Apart from testing things with folks, I have at most a dozen games in as FT. And those were private matches where we rotated playing Predator.

And just in case imperial vs metric dozen is different, by a dozen I literally mean 12.

Edit: checked my notes, I was not level 100 until around May 3rd.

I mean I understand also I’m a lvl 100 and my main is pred I rarely loose and make the match worth the wait and I half to also wait like 8-30 mins max and tbh the waits not even tht bad I jus play on my phone and read the forum 🤷‍♂️ I mean if I was FT and played a preddy tht succs fine but for the good preds tht would make a match fun it should be easier to get inna match…but this is one of the reasons we should have a story mode no mattter how many ppl are against it 🤷‍♂️😐
