Oh man bro, you’re so good at the game! Must have taken you all of 15 minutes to master this incredibly deep and rich FPS experience with all of its nuance and difficulty. Lol.
Leaping Preds are Sniper's favourite type of food (video)
definitely remember this. I have a feeling the same is happening in Predator quite often. MANNNNNY times I haven been completely still in cloak using my disc and somehow the same person over and over see’s me and shoots me out of my disc. There are definitely issues with it which is why I dont really rely on cloak for that anymore. I use it to make it harder for people to get head shots on me while fighting them at mid to close range.
Open GL… MAAAAAANNN the time flies. Those were the days haha :D CS 1.5, Wolfensten, Half-Life etc :D

Just wanted to stop by and say that I had missed Sharpy acknowledging that FT and hit scan are broken af right now and therefore retract my criticism along those lines. I also apologize for not being fully informed before laying into you guys.
GL, HF!
Yup I just experienced a very similar situation like this.
FT was up high and I could not get close without getting lit up and on the other hand was completely useless to long range fight them.
So I almost had no choice but to jump up there with 2 FT players and poor Pred pretty much got Swiss Cheesed Lol, yes by 2 players just as quickly as I got up there was jus as quickly as I had to leave and now on foot running and About 200 yards away some sniper whose aim was on legendary status Lol shot n hit all his shots yea Pred didn’t stand a chance

Bullet drop on a 50 cal at 300m maybe is 15 in at 500 its 50inches. It will still take less than .3 sec to hit the target

I think about it balance wise. What if they introduce bullet drop for snipers / revolver only BUT at the same time remove the invisible, huge ass tree branch hitboxes that are blocking most of the shots in the trees? Or ATLEAST doesnt reduce pint point accurate shots to 0% dmg. Maybe make still make the Predator eat 30-50% of dmg coming from the fire.
You start talking about bullets on snipers… you then need to look at effective range on all weapons. All smgs including 45 ump wouldnt be able to penatrate the predator armour or helmet. Assult rifles would also fail except lmg. The revolver needs to be a 357 mag pistol wouldnt even go through pred armour

Swiss cheese haha. Yeah thats exactly what we call a Pred once he gets melted upclose or from far away trying to approach us.
Derailed is just the worse map for the Pred once a good FT gets on the that rooftop to scan the whole map.
I get that but even in your vid you and your friends are all lighting him up. Sothat damage is still going to be fucked. So i think the trees take a little less hit damage and give like 20% of the original damge because of the tree branches. But then again i play more predator because it’s more fun waiting for the right moments.
Im talking from balance perspective, not realism. Don’t bring realism to this game as it’s probably the last thing that the devs ever though of bringing to this. U give me distance math, I’ll give you the fact that FT soldier, weighting 90-110kg with the gear, is somehow able to parry a 230-300Kg Berzerker’s swing with a butter knife and stun him at the same time as if the monster hit the concrete wall instead a small knife. Or the fact that the Scout/Recon class can run, jump, slide with a .50 cal rifle, + all the equipment and gear As if he was a super human. See? That’s not how the physics work. But balance wise these decisions (for example the parry) are very much understandable and welcome.
Im simply suggesting solution to people who are unhappy the way Sniper rifles/revolvers or any other hitscan weapons works. Introduce some bullet travel time/drop on most but then also do something about the tree branches if it’s gonna be harder to shoot the Pred now. Not necessary remove them completely but, for example, reduce the size of their hitboxes.
Correct me if im wrong because maybe I misunderstood u - but Tree branches and even LEAVES completely nulifies the bullet damage - as seen in the video. You know you hit the pred when you see the hitmarker.
My bad super baked right now. What i mean is i think the branches should damage predator like 20%less damage then a direct hit. Its still damage. And the reason I mean that is because 4 snipers is beyond to much damage so the branches and grass shouls still do something. I mentioned you and the vid was because of how easily you all just snipped it.
Ah cool. So basically we are on the same fence here. I also think the there SHOULD be some dmg to pred trough the branches/leaves instead of completely reducing it to 0. Especially if they would introduce bullet drop/travel time for the FT. Im even down for smaller hitboxes of the branches as I said in my last post. If you shoot ant the branch / leaves that are blocking the view to the pred - fine, reduce it to 0, BUT right now you can shoot predator in the body and still get cockblocked because there’s this massive invisible branch hitbox. Which is annoying as hell sometimes.
Those clips (especially the first one) were basically just me sniping, rest of the squad usually run different weapons, but I get what you mean if the pred was about to face 2-4 snipers at the same time.
Ahh i thought others where helping. But yea I’m just not very happy when playing pred the beginning of the game it was fun you lnow finding new ways to stalk and kill… but since i have cross play i get a lot of pc players and i just hate how they treat me. Like I put cross play so i can have shorter wait and more lobbies… but they see my ps4 logo and it’s just easy dinner. I mean ive Decimated a few pc teams tonight but it was always teeth and nail…
Hell this last game i got my masked snipped off when i didnt even see them on the back clif behind me luckilyi got that match and won but fuck it was hard…sometimes i just want to back out at the beginning if its A full PC group…but then i usually say fuck it i love predator and want to( it’ll be silly but RP as predator you know) stalk and hunt come when they least expect it but man it’s getting harder and harder… only had 3 pc matchs that where successful. The rest ended with corpse being T bagged and shit talked… i know it’s not all pc players. Just sucks you know.
