Overall it’s annoying to spend a match having to take cover because some monkey pred is spending the entire match in a tree spamming the cannon, all the my teamates act absolutely oblivious to it and they all get downed right off the bat. Then there’s the cases where as I stated, you have to work a valve or do one of the hacking missions, which requires you to do a channeling sequence, and those are the cases where I’ve been insta-downed by a plasma shot, when I’m forced to have to make myself vulnerable by standing perfectly still; any other time, I’m zooming around at all times, making it impossible for me to get hit by ranged weapons. Recently I’ve started just letting my teamates do the little channeling sequences since I’m more valued alive, as I’ll be the one to more likely solo the pred, so I can’t be getting downed while my teamates just shoot at the floor until they realize that you can’t damage the pred that way.
Nerf Plasma Cannon
Don’t move through open spaces a lot. Especially if you see that pred is spamming plasma
Tbh, this is just like how when people were defending the katana when samurai first came out, and how it was known for the glitch that would cause the pred to do the heavy strike three times in a row. Seems people that cling to blatantly OP/broken things will do whatever they can to keep it that way. I dunno, I don’t know the struggle of having that much of a hard time copping kills as a pred.
Sometime i still can see triple hit from predator wristblades
I mean, it’s pretty fair when FT can toss a total of 3 frags with Unleashed and Yautja’s Bane to SW a Berserker. Or boop a downed teammate on the nose and revive them to over half health. Or pop a mask off in two shots with the SAWZ. Or force the Predator to uncloak with ACIGs. Oh wait… No it’s not. :]
Yeah, this game is created to make team of.bois to have fun while killing predator with a bottle of.beer after work
That sounds like problems of a bad predator. You see a FT getting ready to toss a frag, just jump all the way to China by pressing a single button, then jump right back into Brazil by doing it again. Kill the Field medic first. You can literally see what specs they are by pressing the D-pad… Just move out of the static…and secondly, who is that dependant of their cloak? Yikes…Predator has every advantage, and there’s no reason a predator shouldn’t be winning a match in under 30 sec or less.
Ya I’m going to say again, because I’m annoying, that’s not the games fault, that’s your teamates fault for not being competent.
It sounds like you just need to play with a few friends instead of relying on randos to play perfectly and have full understanding of what it is they should be doing at all times. As for gameplay mechanics that force your Fireteam members into a state of vulnerability, that is not a reason for nerfing the Predator again, those mechanics encourage the FT to act as a team and use their numbers and high individual dps to the advantage that it Cleary is and has been, further more if the Preds had more viable and diverse weapons then you would probably not see PC used as much BUT, considering that it is entirely possible and probable that a single FTM can dessimate a Pred on top of the fact that most missions can be sped run in under 5 min, it doesn’t make for a condusive enviroment for beginner to intermediate Preds to really learn a hunting style of any real diversity when it becomes a race just to get some damage on eachother over half the time…
Ok, you obviously haven’t played any good Predators and have never faced or beaten a full Field Medic team. You don’t know what the endgame is like, playing PC hunters, playing the PC preds. I’ve been running with my PC friends more since I learn the most from them. I’m going to encourage you to seek the good PC players out and learn everything you can from them. But, before you jump in with them, be prepared to be humbled and smacked around.
Cover and blind spots.
There’s usually two that creates a healing loop
It still makes you vulnerable to the whole squad a good second. Not to mention the impact and wide AOE nature makes it easy to hit a target.
FT can out dps Pred aside from melee builds but even then support FM loops exist alongside devastating DPS, while aiming Pred is vulnerable since he loses all mobility, and you can hear him jumping and clicking all over the place so stealth isn’t that viable.
The ACIG’s just agitate the issue more.
What’s your point? You completely one V one a Pred.
Either
A. That Pred was aweful, so it proves nothing
B. That Pred was a decent Pred, so the fact that you one V one him is absolutely pathetic game balancing. Or
C. That was an amazing Pred, that showed the game has pathetic game balancing.
In all of these scenarios you prove yourself wrong
Also BTW you could clearly hear him stomping torwards your friend at the last claim but you went the opposite way until he was downed.
I think you have a headset issue
Nah, I let him get claimed since they were all useless. Figured it’d just be better to use him as bait while he was being claimed so I could get some snipes in. And if anything, you prove nothing with these excuses for why a FT player can solo a pred. Never had this happent o me while I was a pred, and I’ve even honorably had wristblade vs knife fights with Dantes running yautja bane and still won. Can you show a vid of you doing the same? Or do you even remember to put mud on and stray as far away from your teams as possible (and then get offed) like mine usually do?
Again I don’t see the point of this post, the reason you are so angry or why you are uneededly aggressive towards people responding to said post. it all seems very silly to me, if you are indeed so skilled at both sides then why cry out for nerfs at all? If anything would it not be a better option to buff the Predator’s other tools or give him new ones that add more diversity to his/her play style? Or perhaps tweak the way missions can be completed or how long they last to create a better atmospheric experience? Or is it that you want it to be even easier than it already it is for you to apparently walk through the competition?
😕
Right
Instead of shooting the Pred while he’s getting melee’d you let him get the kill then shoot him
Ya I don’t believe that
So you admit that he sucked
Which means this video proves nothing.
Which I stated before but for some reason you ignored that part.
Congratulations. You won a one V one against a random
That proves nothing
A predator should win a one V one
It’s a 1V4 game
Let alone the fact that a dueling FT gives up their guns, grenades, teamates, revives, medic pouches, Field medic, most specializations, most perks.
A. I don’t duel, I hunt.
B. Why does it matter if I won a one sided duel against an enemy missing 90% of their strength?
Like seriously a Knight versus a Marine, Marine Everytime. Gun beats sword
Give the Marine a knife and take away his gun OH THE KNIGHT IS SO SKILLED no it isn’t. It was an easy win.
If I did I’d be in favor of nerfing Pred.
What’s your point here?
That I’m a bad FT player?
Congratulations that just means I’m biased torwards FT, which I’m not…
Seriously what were you hoping for with that statement?
We’re just trying to be toxic because I poked holes in your “evidence”?
Neh I think the dude just one V ones too much and his view is shaped by that.
The Dante I’m really refering to is actually apart of a really good premade team that I’ve went up against multiple times and they’re the only ones I can say have ever had my work cut out for me. They have a pistoler scout, a bomb-spamming Dutch 1987, the Dante that pretty much just knife fights all the time, and a field medic support using a mercenary (the dutch also uses mercenary). And sorry, but if you’re someone uttering anything close to say that “FT are OP”, and you really aren’t the one that should be saying they’re bad. I have 0 doubt that they’d do you in and you’d just be another rough stroke to their massive ego.
IMHO nerfing damage values and coddling one side or the other is a moot point, ultimately the best long term fix is to add more functional and viable variety to the game to create more combinations of options as well as adding more actual atmospheric content to break up the monotony, this would lessen the predictable “Metas” you see pop up time and time again or at least increase the over all number of them or one would hope that is…
And honestly, I think they should buff the FT’s health and give them a better aim assist. All I have to do when I jump headfirst into a whole FT that’s fully aware of me is just jump and I essentially dysync everyone’s aiming on me; do a heavy + light katana hit from cloaking, then jump again. Rense and repeat and they’re all down every time. There’s real no challenge in playing as a Predator; the only real challenge is waiting like 10mins for a match that you win in less than 30sec.
