Lets supppose...

Lets supppose Illfonic had make a poll before the release of the game…before any trailer…
The poll was about 2 different maps concept…

  1. Jungle map.
  2. City map.
    What we Will choose…?
    Im 99% sure that everyone we choose Jungle map right?
    Or if Illfonic brought the game with only city map… Now everyone we woulf ask for jungle maps!!! So, enough with this city maps!
    They make the “predkour” for a reason!! The based the game on 1987 film.
    OK am not saying no to a city map but a prefer Just New maps!! And for my opinion city map it Will be boring…
    Night Mode btw would be cool.

The location of the map isn’t the issue, people are tired of the same 3 maps and want to try new ones. A majority of them would like to see a city map.

People want city map now for variety. Also a snow map. We need more maps with a larger variety to keep people playing!

Night mode would be horrible for FT. How exactly are you going to see the predator in the night? Even with night vision and it would be bad. Also, that night vision and having everything looking like that the entire game? Fuck no!

They can make a night mode without making it too dark.

If you decrease the light you decrease the visibility. Predator get’s a massive boost to stealth. Unless you plan on giving FT predator masks where they have a anti-predator vision like in AVP… Its going to be very hard to deal with.

Well…

Isn’t the predator supposed to be sneaky?..
I mean if I were hunting a group of elite operatives I would come in the night.

Making it darker would help a lot. I assume you are a FT try hard and starts raging as soon as they can’t find the predator because you are obsessed with killing the predator rather than just doing the objectives and playing the game…
so yes night maps please.
Would make it a lot more challenging for me as FT too

City map will be boring? I imagine a rainy/cloudy smaller city in the night or evening can look amazing. The predkour could be a problem though, but I’m sure they could reimagine it.

#8

Night in the jungle might be a bit too difficult for the ft to see, but a night time city map with the streetlights and so on could work well.

#9

A city map is very hard to do, First it requires the reworking of predkour, or no predkour at all. Second off, unless the entire map is contained to the streets, pred will have no way to fight FT inside buildings. Especially since the third person perspective will make it impossible for him to go inside buildings and make plays. If its a small city with at most 2 story buildings and confined to streets and mostly first floor buildings, it might work. But it will require the addition of destructible glass, and the rework of predkour which is a lot of work, and a drain on performance. Possible but highly unlikely to be as the community imagines.

As for the snow map, A snow map simply wouldnt have the kind of trees to support predkour in the slightest, so pred would be confined mostly to building tops and the ground, not to mention the lack of foliage to break line of sight being an issue. (Also lore wise preds prefer to hunt in Humid environments, the only exception to this is avp if I remember correctly)

Night mode would be interesting, and might work. The balance mostly relies around it being dark enough that pred is FORCED to rely on his thermal, that way he is almost always walking around with glowing eyes.

Then it comes down to do you give FT flashlights or NVGS. If flashlights, then the AI will need to be tuned to not be bullshit at range. If NVGs, then light needs to be bright enough to force NVGs off, as when they are on, they will make preds eyes even brighter, but also be a detriment in outposts. Could be balanced. But not sure 100% if it would work.

yes if were speaking lore wise? yes one thing thats consistent with all Predator clans is hunt but Never be Caught

#11

Apparently not the clan we play as in game… lol

#12

well i think thats kinda the aspect of the game thats kinda annoying for me…

playing Sneaky will get you killed so you gotta be loud and Bold witch sucks…

WITCH IS WHY WE NEED A SINGLE PLAYER EH?

then you can hunt and feel like a predator all you want

devs just need to make the rework I made a reality and it will be the best of both worlds.

Someone get a # started on twitter

#ListenToLazyIllfonic

lol

i think the the only way to do it right would to pretty much Friday the 13th the game jasoned him

by that i mean make the predator so fucking bull shit over powered that if have the option to be sneaky like that Cloak should be Fully cloaked all the time unless in water or got shot.

i think you should make sounds as it fits with the lore. the plasma caster should be lock on the charge needs to be so fucking fast like maybe 1/3rd of a second to charge? something like that? Cloak shouldnt use Engry either Should Thermal but mud should stay on the fire team intell burnt by a plasma bolt shot or went into water to wash it off. or i guess dryed off but that should be like 2-3 mins for it too happen. i think predators in trees should make no Foot print sounds at all. but on ground they should. i think the wrist blades should be a grab kill only by that i mean get behide them and you can stab then and instakill a player but if their facing you, you cant use wrist blades at all, Combi stick should be a stabing weapon/ throwing but the stab can be used form any angle only theres a long stabing animation and your locked into it after you start it. throwing should be a one time use in the sense if you throw it its stuck to the wall or floor or rock when you do cant be picked up but if you land a hit it instakills

there shouldnt be a second wind the healing kit should be the only form of healing in the game and in stead of Charges use like the best way i can say it is like a ammo system? so like the Goo inside the healing kit gun thingy should have a bar that goes down the more you use the healing kit.
reason why i say this

HOW WOULD THE PREDATOR CARRY THREE OF THOSE THINGS IN THAT TINNY AF BACK PACK? like no where in any lore was that ever a thing…

instead of Defusing the bomb humans wouldnt understand predator Symbols and tec so fuck that it should be if the predator gets it off welp now its just leave the area. but i think for the predator he should get three choices Big blast range (normal as is) count down is the same arming time is the same blast range is the same. Small blast range, arming time is Faster WAYYYYYYY faster count down is Much faster but blast range is SMALL AF. then HUGE blast Range Count down is Long as Balls arming time is Super long but the blaste range should cover like half the map.

that way its scary even to kill the predator. lastly dont warn the players witch one the predator picks.

i see that is Prefectly fair.

you cant t-bag now as you’ll get blown up for it.

makes sense i think the predator should have more Choices when it comes to witch type of Plasma caster do you want? plasma bolds? EPG’s daul plasma bolts? Charged Lobber? impact explosive plasma bolts.

stuff like that lore shit.

same thing with Bio maskes i want something that gives you more Vision modes. like EMF vision heat night. sonar, zoom vision, heat beat. xray. stuff like that

i feel the fire team should more attachments to there guns like Foregrip and stock or no stock long barrel stun nose saw’d off. dual weild.

there should be less perks but they do more for you like you can only take one perk with you as the predator or human, shouldnt be things like less damaged taken should be like Give and take options.

no stam, but you move slower.

more health but less gear.

things like that.

theres more playing around then.

i dont know whats your thoughts on this?

#15

i dont know maybe my idea is dumb but i think it would be WAY more fun to do it that way.

#16

Some of it im all for.

Some of it would be interesting but im pretty certain it would be to complex to balance.

Some of it I think from a gameplay perspective doesnt work.

I think this game needs to seperate itself from other assymetrical games, rather than follow in their exact footsteps tbh. I think preds cloak and stuff should be infinitely better, but pred should be weak af. Pred isnt a tank, he dies just like humans, but his technology, mobility, and strength give him significant advantages. Stealth most of all for sure.

Im more for the hunt playstyle however, while many of these suggestions are more on the action oriented side. So really, it depends what illfonic wants to do with the game.

#17

i think for health wise i agree but the option to over power their Targets using Crazzy op weapons makes sense.

AND IF YOU DONT THINK SO, i mean fucking look at the lore of things like take this sense form AVPR

look how Effortless this predator STOMPS xenos. NOT HUMANS Xenos. mind you Xenos are ment to be the human killers the unstopabble alien race that just fucking one of these things in alien 3 and 1 killed like 8 guys befor getting out smarted and killed in both.

so i mean if this Predator kills THAT THING in Packs! effortlessly then i think its fair to allow the predator to have the same such tools.

i dont agree with dummy downing the Predator just to give the Fire team a fighting chance. HES MENT TO BE SCARRY if your still worryed then Raise the fire team. team size form 4 to 9, and let the predator have those Tools.

#18

I mean preds have lots of knowledge when it comes to xenos, and seem to be quite effective at avoiding acid blood burns. Thats the only reason preds wipe xeno ass so hard. Humans very rarely are in a scenario where they have any clue what the fuck they are fighting and even once they do, they simply arent prepared to deal with it.

Not to mention wolf pred is clearly a high up predator whos been on many hunts, quite obvious from his armory at the beginning of AVPR

Ideally though you dont want pred killing the humans too fast. Its a game after all, it has to be somewhat fair, otherwise no one will play it and a singleplayer will be the only choice.

#19

As I said before, you can contain it inside a big buildings with pillars serving as “trees”, That or a big construction yard with unfinished walls with pillars serving as trees. Same with some oil rig or other things like that. Just use your imagination, it can be done.

#20

definitely a possibility, but maps based off of construction yards like that are gonna be very limited I imagine. Size will be small.
