iv NEVER had a full 15min match so far.
If you bother to spend time setting up traps/looking for the RES location/destroying pickups etc the fire team are already done the objectives.
The current pred gameplay seems to be, RUSH as fast as you can to the players so you get longer to try and wear them down. try to rush damage on them in any way possible as fast as pissible.
It doesnt feel like hunting or stalking. Feels like a mad panic to kill something before its over.
wish pred could see where the fireteam objectives are or something, i dont know what.
Matches feel like fumbling around, bunmping into things, getting stuck on 2cm ledge, shots not landing where ur aiming, bunny hopping fire team members. when you are in 2nd wind you glow up like a christmas tree and leave a blood trail and they can hear you from a mile away. fire team have so much stamina you can’t ever run away from them.
I mean i like the game but the pred feels frustrating to play even when you win. never mind when you lose and not because of what you are doing but because its not doing what you intend it to do.
whats the reasoning behind having the predator move so slow when aiming but the fire team can move full speed scoped? Why do the fire team need so much stamina or why does it need to regenerate so quickly? why does everyone need to be able to carry the same gear? whats the point in class if everyone can have the same stuff? etc etc…
There are so many things that i think “why?” - i understand when you are against a good squad its hard, but its not hard because they are good its hard because so many things go wrong for you as pred.
trying to leap away but instead locks onto target and keeps melee attacking?
Im just going to keep listing things i find that are annyong here. This is my moaning thread lol
I agree with you I made a topic on where the pred feels downright unimportant for a game that’s meant for them. My suggestions would be that they would remove the 15min timer on the match and remove the RES stations to create tension between the 2 factions but instead that very station can be used to call another chopper (they should buff the pred to where he can destroy the chopper to prolong the hunt). If anybody does get away and somebody else is still on the match the same can be applied to them or fight the pred or die trying. One last thing would be that there should be mission curves to where if the pred does attack, the fireteam should have at least an optional quest to take him down giving the pred the love and importance that he needs.
I dont think there needs to be much changes to the pred or fireteams power or health etc I feel that the awkwardness of playing the predator is what makes it hard. not hard in a good challange way but hard in an annoying way.
Cant leap to where i want to leap, have enough stamina, the leap indicator shows but it doesnt do it.
Automatically doing a stealth kill on an AI when you are actually slashing the player thats near him.
Sometimes wont quick claim even though the prompt is there
Pigs are tougher than AI soldiers. takes 2 plasma hits to take a pig but 1 to kill a soldier?!
getting stuck on a corpse you killed. most of this is just getting stuck and movment issues. its so clunky
The leap mechanic definitely needs a little work. You’re right, there will be plenty of stamina but I can’t leap until it’s 90% full.
Bow shots hitting objects to the left when you have clear line of sight.
Plasma caster laser shows going between trees but shot hits trees. 9 / 10 of my shots jsut hit some random bit of scenery.
Net gun shots hitting things to the left like when firing through doorways.
bear traps cant be picked back up is dumb.
bear traps triggering on AI and wasting it is dumb.
AI can see the predator when close even if he is 100% invisible/still. keep shooting pred when healing makes the animation for healing last forever untill canceled.
AI follow predator even when he is behind objects and cloaked they magically know your location giving it away to the fire team
every single item/weapon somehow has something to give away your position… “oh a bow, now thats cool it will be silent and invisible!” - Nope, it has a red light on it and shows a trail where it came from! why? hahaha
killed pig interaction zone is too small fumble around for ages trying to find the EXAACT spot to hold F.
changing weapons is buggy, tried to pick plasma caster but the plasma caster fired and did a melee strike at the same time.
predator destraction noisemaker needs to make clomping loud footstep sounds. you know where the predator is from that sound mostly.
I totally agree with everything you say.
yeah im just gunna stop playing it i think. I was hoping to buy some copys for friends but its just not fun in its current state.
Ill go out on a limb and accept the “git gud” even i have been saying it myself to others. but the more i play the more i see, you can not kill a single member of the fire team if they are actually good. its just a running away simulator. you get hunted by the fire team more than u hunt them.
Tonight its been terrible to play as predator. i thought “ok ill get better” and i am getting better at working out how to avoid all the bugs above, the fire team has just got to another level now and dont have to worry about any of the bugs. they dont get stuck on things anywhere near like the predator does. they have unlimited heals… unlimited ammo… resurection… weapons that can almost 1/2 shot the predator. they can spot you almost constantly and always know exactly where you are.
Im sure there is a way to win by maybe taking the beserker and just like in the beta, dropping in with the combi stick and killing them all in a mad rush. but it should be one 1 way and 1 loadout to win… otherwise whats the point in all the other stuff and classes and tactics?
I dont know how to fix it. maybe it needs a rank system so the better players get ranked with a stronger predator with more health and damage and the less good fire team get put with a lesser predator. i have no idea.
I imagine even the fire team are like… “well the game is over in 3mins if the predator shows up”. “and if we do all the mission its because we never see the predator and hes just taking pot shots and running away all the time”…this isnt a fun predator game when u dont fight the predator…
really tring to enjoy it but its getting infuriating. I dont know the solution.
