Meta predator?

#61

Dude, you have some bad mentality going on there. Some of us want to balance the game, you just want vindication to stomp people because you’re frustrated.

The updates just prove Illfonic is completely incapable of making sensible changes. A patch back they nerfed pred so much in melee they drop dead if they come close, now they buffed ranged play to such a decree its completely bonkers. Even if you find a pred in a tree, you shoot him, you only hit branches and leaves since those act like body armor and then he just repositions and you can’t follow him and know where he is gone since you can’t see shit, then rinse and repeat.

#62

You shouldn’t know where he went without damaging him.

A shield made of branches is really some kind of shit, it shouldn’t be, but all that should say about the direction in which the predator retreated is blood. Believe it or not, you SHOULD NOT run after a predator with hooting trying to kill him with knives. Their improvement in “ranged combat” has led to the fact that predators can finally fight in CLOSE COMBAT, paradoxical, isn’t it?

#63

Huh? Did you watch the movies? Like any of them? What do you mean you should not be able to see where he goes? In the movies even when standing still or moving very slowly you can still see the damn thing.

Only noobs run after predators to kill them with knifes. You only pull the knife out when you try to avoid him jumping on you in melee or when you’re out of ammo. You also equip the knife when chasing him down in second wind or moving between objectives since the knife (game mechanic) makes you more mobile. Even when he is down and you need to remove the mask, if you empty a clip in his face its faster then knifing it off.

Predators can’t finally fight in close combat. You still do crazy amount of damage up close, on the other hand, anything from 20 meters or so and you can’t really see shit.

Have you watched movies? 90% of predator kills are one-shots. Why do you forget about it. I’m ready to go back to the old cloak if the spear, disk, PC will give one-shot, and conditions will not be needed for a stealth kill. If you want it like in the movie, match it in everything.

This is multyplayer game guys not a single player, you cant prentend to do whatever you want.

Use de-cloak grenades

SoBadsOGad That would translate into FT also being able to 1 shoot the pred with certain weapons (like sniper rifles) and FT should be invisible to the pred when mudded up. I don’t think you want any of that. I can also go into preds losing in melee fights even against unarmed humans and running like a little bitch in pred 2. That said I fail to see what this has to do with you saying the pred should be completely invisible when moving? What are you basing that on?

Anyt1m3 I seriously, seriously hope you’re joking.

It’s a game of adjustments. There are options. Figure it out. It’ll take time but by the next week I’m sure there will be an approach to this

#69

And the Predator in the second movie died from one stab by Harrigan, if you want it movie accurate. Which means that Dutch(with his muscles) could kill a Predator with ½ of a stab. And a Ninja Turtle could kill a Predator with ¼ of a stab.

#70

Yes, the adjustment is having the devs tweak it so only at long ranges (like 150m+) do the new changes take effect, below that distance it should be as it was before last patch. This is only needed to prevent sniping across the map.

#71

They buffed alpha sickle hard it seems. It 3 hit kills on clash.

#72

That seems a little far. At max, I would say about 70m. Honestly, I haven’t test for exact numbers, but the predator is almost invisible while at tree hight, and that makes it a bit of an issue.

#73

He still dies in his second breath with 1-2 blows, heh. But yes, you got my idea right, if you make a game like a movie, then make it canon in everything, and I assure you it will not be interesting and fun.

#74

That’s fair, but you know how long that will take. So in the mean time, it’s up to FT to make it work

#75

And then we will return to the original state, 150 meters is not the distance where you need complete invisibility, there I can walk across the map without it at all, hiding behind the landscape, this is NOT a confrontation with snipers, this is an option for an attack for a predator. This is an attacking buff, not a defensive one, so the distance is so short, hit run tactics in action. The “Well, it’s against the sniper” argument can suck. The predator imposes the rules of the game, if you want to challenge it, you have to do ten times more than just click on the head.

#76

The improved cloak should only work for people going on roofs and snipping across the map. As it is now you can’t track the predator in SMG/AR range and that is to much. 150m+ is perfect so no more sniper nonsense as before.

#77

Incorrect my little friend.

Harrigan dumped a load of shotgun rounds into him first.
Then the Predator gets his arm severed off.
The Pred was in pretty bad shape, he needed his respiratory device.
They dueled for a bit before Harrigan used the old fake out to stab him in the gut with his own smart disc.

Big difference buddy, have a turtle.
