Instead of parry

Barely stronger than an average human. I encourage you to grab a 240 pound man by one hand, by the neck, and lift him in the air. The predator is well beyond super human strength. Nice try though

It only affects preds who play bad. Parry is only meant to stop melee rushing, wich is not how you are suppose to play pred.

Simple matter of git gud

You are correct.
Ive had some combat training, it is actually a case of deflect or redirect. Could put a dent in a combat knife, but those things dont simply break. Also, marines go through some serious training so imagine those special force dudes.

It doesn’t just stop melee blitzing it stops melee all together

Hahahahahahahahah a simple matter of redirect. Physics disagrees with you hoss

Uh chain you must not of watched avp. Just barely stronger than average human. Im guessing you haven’t watched any of the movies if you think that. Also for those who say parry mechanic is fine it is not. A better core mechanic for this game would be stamina that doesn’t instantly regenerate and a dodge roll. Now before you think i dont know how to beat parry i do. Its called spear throw. But i still disagree with the mechanic of parry because yes it is absolutely a ridiculous mechanic that doesn’t make any sense for this game. Yes sense for this game not real life. Im not comparing to real life. Also for those who say use net gun let me ask why? I don’t want to waste a weapon slot on that. If i catch a FT member dumb enough to be on his own he shouldn’t be able to go mano on mano with me. He should be able to dodge my attack but after i say 3 dodges they should out of stamina then they are screwed. So last but not least the person who said, oh just attack from side and back all i have to say to that is that you do realize FT can instantly turn towards your direction and still parry right therefore already making your point invalid. Lets start being smart here people. Jesus i really hate typing this much.

They cant parry attacks from behind and sides, so no. Also timing and range make it harder to parry. Parry literally only stops a pred mashing the melee button. So its a matter of git gud.

@B4MBO0ZL3 you don’t play this game that much if thats what you honestly think. I can literally pull my knife out and have a chance of beating predator 1vs1 on melee. He switches to range well goodluck hitting my fast moving ass. Yeah parry is a dumb mechanic and needs replaced with a dodge and a better stamina mechanic were we don’t regenerate all stamina within 3-4 seconds.

Mmm. Nope. Lol. Sucks you can’t fathom that I can just stand there and wait for you to swing. I know I know, how crazy

Nice assumption, but wrong. Ive beaten preds 1v1 too, you know why? Because they spammed melee head on. You know when they down me? When the mive around me and attack my sides and rear. Or even better, they actually do surprise attacks.

Stop playing bad as pred or against bad preds and complain about a mechanic that is easily worked around.

If you can just stand there then the pred is bad, plain and simple.

I’m not complaining I’m just saying your explanation of it is wrong. And assumption? That I can time it? Uhhh. It’s not only possible, it’s easy. AND if you dilly dick around too much trying to “mix up” your strikes, I’ll be stabbing you to second wind in the meantime while my whole team lays into you. Sorry mate I think you might just be the one playing bad fireteams

Ah yes four fireteam members dodge rolling around like this is dark souls. Just what the game needed, ninjas.

Parry is fine, sprint around the guy and stab him in the back, slam, or just used ranged. Its a fucking 1v1 and you’re the one with all the options that gets to pick the engagement. First time you get parried should be an immediate cue to change up your strategy because that FT member saw you coming. You don’t just sit there and continue swinging with no stamina lmao. If you don’t like getting parried then bring a netgun.

Lol i dont get parried and if i do i just throw my spear. I like how you assume you know my playstyle just because i disagree and you Apparently didn’t read about how dodge would be affected with stamina. I see you are salty towards me from the other thread too lol.

You assume I dont play so much. Also the situation was 1v1 and now your team is suddenly there, stop changing the situation lol

With mix ups I mean having a plasma caster or bow equiped. This allows you to melee with R2 and L2+R2 to shoot. No swapping needed and you just atand there looking stupid with your knife out taking damage.

Is there a team together then a pred is stupid to just run in and try to duel one.

Do you only play quick match preds or something damn…

Edit; netgun is a thing too btw

We’re talking about a video game here. Grow up. It needs to be fair to make it fun for both sides, sorry to burst your bubble. This isn’t the movie where the humans are there just to die, as a player I want an option to counter brainless melee mashing.

I read the entire ninja post, I just had the image of snipers dodge rolling around so thanks for that. Remind me again what the issue with parry is if you just throw your combistick?

This would be amazing ! Not
