I LOVE this setting and the game’s ambiance and aesthetic is fantastic. I love playing it and I want to continue playing it.
But, with the Fireteam having so many advantages its just untenable. Good Fireteams are nothing but an exercise in frustration for Predator. Won’t be able to continue playing with such frustration.
What advantages, please do tell
when there’s a good fireteam the predator becomes more of just a fun distraction for them.
So skill is a advantage, what a surprise
The biggest advantage by far is resource consumption. A single medkit can heal almost the entire fire team while the predator has 2 available heals that take 3x-4x longer than a medkit. Finding a boar is so unreliable it shouldn’t even be considered in the equation. Now add the fact that each team member can also carry multiple medkits as well as ammo so there is no danger of supply loss to the fireteam.
To multiply this supply issue even further if the predator were to take out 3 fireteam members and reinforcements are called, they are now back to 100% full strength with all their medkits and ammo restocked. This is very clearly a massive advantage the fireteam has in prolonged fights.
It happens. There’s good crews out there, and then there’s random playing together. You can usually tell if nobody has a mic icon if they’re a party squad, then change your tactics accordingly. The first thing I do when up against a tight squad is preemptively destroy all their resources before even attacking. This usually breaks their stride and gives me a window of opportunity to whittle them down a bit. That’s if I can even catch them sometimes. Man they’re fast.
No tactics for pred can compete with what they have when they have their shit together. Its not fun for either side, I imagine. To make matters worse some of the Fireteam members will shit talk you after the match.
Sure there is. There’s always more than one way to tackle a problem. But sometimes you’re up against people that are better than you, it happens and is the nature of the game. You can’t win all the time.
Play as Scout. Damage throughout the round and kill at extraction. That’s what I do.
1/ Reinforcements how many? 2 or 3 immediate reappearance with full life and ammo
2/ unlimited ammo and medikit
3/ spot and see through walls and objects,
4/ Incredible sniper
5/ mud cover everywhere at anytime
6/ fall 10 meters without losing life
7/ run as fast as the berseker
8/ they can follow traces of blood
9/ AI make mosquito bites
10/ they can still run with the net
11/ fast life regen
12/ Can ward off attacks by monsters weighing over 200 kg without problem
13/ No bugs (weapons jump etc…)
14/ can shoot through the foliage ( plasma caster can’t)
15/ when they aim, they shoot where they aim (not always the case with the predator)
16/ don’t leave a trace of blood
I must have forgotten a good dozen …
Parry spamming
Maybe you need to play the game a bit more ^^ as the predator not just once ^^
That list is big . . . . and I can name a few not there but I think people get the point!
yep… sad a lot of Fireteams don’t wanna see this side lol
Fireteams are now consistently disarming my bomb.
Thank you I agree.
The Predator has no chance against a fireteam, even as a berserk with combistick you have no chance.
You have 0% chance of winning if you fight a fireteam with microphones.
The fireteam even hunts the Predator to 60% of all games, and that’s wrong.
The game reminds me of the game Finding Bigfoot, and I thought you should be afraid of the Predator.
Make the Predator stronger or, you will lose a lot of players because it’s too easy for the Fireteams.
You’re adding logic to a video game it’s a fucking video game, and you’re just saying basic mechanics of the game. Mud is a key mechanic for marines if there was a short supply of mud then there would be no need for mud. Plasma can shoot through foliage btw . I wonder why 200 tone bzek is slower then a marine lol use your fucking brain, considering he’s the slowest pred class. To say they have unlimited ammo and medkits when there are legit set limits to how much you can have, you just sound like you’re in denial. You can only spawn a team once that’s balanced. Fast regeneration, I’m guessing you’re referring to the syringes because marines have no passive regen, it’s pretty much saying I dont like the pred med kit because it heals him to full health. In the terms of the aiming part I’m pretty sure you’re just bad, furthermore predators have always left tracers of blood even in the 2010 avp game they left traces its symbolism to show that he is hurt. Not even gonna mention the AI as there really not relevant to why marines have advantage, when they were put in the game as a disadvantage. Honestly would love to see proof of spotting through walls because it literally sounds like you’re that desperate to find the negatives that you just lie.
Pretty sure I’ve played enough
Truth!
I don’t disagree with you, but gotta stop with the players leaving threat. Illfonic is aware of that and all it does is discourage our community. We are here cause we love this game, so let’s show it our love by working with illfonics not against them
