Something should be done about body blocking
For sure
For instance they could implement the button used to climb a tree to get up into various vantage points inside buildings making leap not necessary indoors
Kinda like the Arkham games when batman is swinging from statues etc
Don’t let the pessimists break your spirit, you’re better than that
A city map like in Pred 2 most likely not. A city map that is destroyed via a war sure.
Setting: a small city close to our current jungles.
Owlf and stargazer are fighting for a pred tech motherload.
City is in ruin, laid to waste by fighting and bombardment, buildings are fallen like the super tall one and they lay slanted on other buildings, smaller tall buildings like 4 or 5 floors stand but are partially destroyed so sometimes you dont have 4 walls around you. Rubble in the streets predcore objects could be pipes or iron beams sticking out of the buildings and have chucks of debris or the road on them for cover like branches.
Since we have seen the cave system is possible maybe make the “motherload of pred tech” the ship in pred 2 is under the city and had areas leading into it around the city. This could easily be a night time map since you would have lots of places to put fire and street lamps and other from of electricity driven light around. Idk
I think city maps will take time not because they would be harder than a jungle but because they require more art assets.
Video game mechanics can be adapted, leap can be modified, locations can be designed and well chosen, to give the most options.
It’s likely going to be a long while, but I do think they have plans to attempt it down the road. Give them time to add assets and mechanics.
Still plenty of jungles left to explore
I can wait
It’s an interesting question. I’m not big on shooter multiplayer games, but I’m wondering if a map like that has been done. Would there be non-combatant NPCs or would it be an empty city? Would there be buildings higher than 3 stories? (Engagements can take on streets, in building and on rooftops) Empty city is actually possible cause a few of those exist. Just like in the jungle, stargazer could be running an operating there - backstory is that pred ship crashed there (portable generators)
I don’t actually want the city to have real civilians. I think between having a group of friendly OWLF NPC’s, STGZ Troops and/or a bunch of drug dealers, that’s plenty of options.
What I think would be cool in a populated map is trying to avoid the Pred and collect weapons, find the other players and then take the fight to Pred.
It would play slower and early on you’d want to blend in with the NPC’s so as to not be marked by the Pred as a threat, marking would be manual. It would take place in a large compound, probably an OWLF one.
That is a very interesting idea
City map where a Pred ship has crashed
There would have to be a penalty for pred for killing civilians then, cause I’d just plasma caster everyone 😈 but yeah, that would be nice for both sides. FT being sneaky and Pred observing and singling them out.
Just for the story’s sake so Stargazer is there and FT has a reason to be there as well. But also a location where there’s no non-combatant NPCs, but is still a city with buildings, streets, maybe a nearby construction site. Exploding fire hydrants 😁
The penalty for breaking stealth would be everyone capable arming themselves and non-combatants going into secure rooms. You want to kill just the FT responsible for some crime against your people.
Because it’s a FT base all the NPC’s are a threat to you to in numbers. FT can have to collect evidence and preform tasks to get access to heavy weapons, AR’s and so forth.
Yea it makes zero sense for civilians to be included
A perimeter would have been established removing all non combatants
Although civilian corpses would be fine
Detective Pred becomes judge judy and executioner Pred 😃
That would also make sense; much more than my convoluted idea 😁
Nah i used to play with them i just kick it solo and suffer the blissful ignorance of the random folk…then again i have never liked clans since my avp classic (2000) and avp 2 (2001) days. Clans were only useful when the game is dying and no one will play with you ;) That and im black from the south so “Clan” nothing dont sit right with me to well.
Tribe is a better word
But I’ll be damned if it hasn’t become a habit using the term clan in gaming and when talking about Predators
Yeah I was curious about that too, from a gameplay point it wouldn’t work too well and how big would the map be? Would they just have closed off roads or something?
This
Of course its possible. Video games anything is possible.
Would it make sense? 99% Would not.
Predkor is a feature of the game, whether its useful to your or not, so in a full fledged city or section of one, you wont be able to make good use architecture typical of cities.
Perspectives would totally crapped up. Just think old 90s/early 3D modeled “cities”
Like the other person said an old broken/blown out city could work cause of the deformation and atypical set up.
I hear that. I saw a few streams of theirs and thought your name was familiar.
Its possible. It’l just take a while because of new assets needed.
Predkour isn’t neccasary for a map. I don’t even use tree’s most of the time. That being said gargoyles could be jumpimg points to other buildings without stanima uses.
As for FT its the typical squad called in to handle a terrorist situation caused by Stargazer. Lore wise said city is held down in lockdown with no civilians for months and the missions would revolve around trying to cripple Stargazer to try to prepare for a city wide siege to take back the city.
