Lets speak about Reinforcements

again when i talk about these things im not talking about potatoes they can have 3 reinforcments for all i care it makes no difference.

im talking about higher level teams, good squads, “deathsquads” whatever u wona call them. thats the only time it seem overpowering.

But again i dont mind… its fine

i am playing 9 months , its funny when you dont have arguments and ask stupid questions
and i play both ft and pred

its not thers no argument its trying to see what perspective you are coming from, there are a lot of new players that see predator as overpowered, and a lot of new players that see things from a new player perspective. so its a fair question to ask.

they can do these things but they we have the problem of leavers … 50% of my ft games someone just leaves after he gets killed

ps: he can check my profile my friend and see how many months i am in the forums

yeah id get some friends and for a squad of people you know are decent.

Thats how this game is supposed to be played.

Create a thread asking for people of your skill im sure youll get some, the steam forums are also asking for fireteam members.

Randoms are random u cant predict or balance the game around those kind of players who leave as soon as they are downed…

if we make the assumption that this game is created for squads we have big problem (unbalanced af)
i dont think there is 50/50 win rate for best preds vs best squads

true but there are people who have been registered on the forum since day 1 but dont play any more, could come back and it looks like they have been playing for the whole games lifetime but really have under a week of ingame experience. so its just easy to ask… “how experienced are you”

I think Reinforcements should spawn elsewhere from the radio not directly on top of it.

I’ll say this, a good squad does have a huge advantage over a predator however the reinforcements is not the issue.

no best squads win all but a few times. they will tell you that. they rarely lose.

maybe 80% win or something like that… but i dont even advocate it being 50/50 - just a bit closer than it is now is fine

yep iv had that thought but it cant be too far that the person doing the radio is left alone with no help… so its hard… maybe just the other side of the building or behind a tree 50 meters away or something…

But a different tree randomly between some, so pred cant just precharge a plasma because he knows where they will spawn in.

or maybe reset the missions because if they did 1 missions before reinforcements it means they are back with full gear/weapons and they can finish fast (depends on the mission ofc)

not really , they can do it like a trade , 1 guys risks to die and 3 guys are back

yeh i think if the chopper is called then no reinforcments can come. thats definitly dumb, iv had the chopper called and then all 4 fresh as a daisy come back to like ahahaha

Thats dumb

well if the reinforcements is far away fro mthe chopper you dont care , they cant reach in on the time

yeh but sometimes its literall right next to chopper so, just dont allow it. especially as u say , if its too far to matter anywhay then its not even needed.

its not needed at all , just give a small buff to ft (or small nerf to pred) and delete it, it can stay in private matches) or atleast fully rework it

Well I had a premade start the timer of reinforcement, the guy hid, I killed him then the Recon came out from doing the missions and just ran past the reinforcement and it said Fireteam has been reinforced. Then they were straight at the copter all under 5 mins.

My main problem with reinforcements is that a good team will push objectives, complete it, and call reinforcements right before heading to exfill. This makes it nearly impossible for pred to win, especially if it is a pre-made. And there is absolutely no way to tell if you are going to fight a premade beforehand, so you can’t even tell if you need to run a sweat/meta build.

My solution: Either remove it once mission is completed OR have it so it only brings FT back with 1/2 gear and 1/2 ammo.

well if you play on pc you can think it like this “if enemys have 3 or more pc players they are squad” (even if they are not) so you will tryhard
