New game mode

How unimaginative and uninspired is this?

Its utterly dire, Pred with humans? what?

Imagine how much fun a 4v4 with 2 preds running around would be. But no… we get some lame ‘clash’ where the pred allies with the humans who are doing the worst? Wtf? It doesn’t make sense at all…

This just shows how out of touch these morons are. Im so disappointed after all this waiting, its not even funny. Seriously considering just walking away at this point. Fuck im so demoralized.

I repeat.
I think this new mode was created by Sony’s interference, by complaints about waiting times, so that everyone has the opportunity to play pred without long waits, we are going to do not want to wait in a lobby because they do not have time. I would have preferred the following solution, it seems more elegant to me. the players who choose pred and those who choose FT doing matchmaking together and those who choose without preference to send them to a lobby with random pred and with a penalty for abandonment (penalty for abandonment only in “no preference” to prevent the “main pred” from understanding and abandon until pred). so they could have made another way for everyone, instead of targeting a niche of players

Yeah, well…y’know. Just don’t play it.

Imagine going to buy a TV, then you get home and it does not work. You go to the guy you both it from and he goes “Yeah, well… Y’know. Just don’t use it”.

you’re absolutely right … well if the game had come out with that mode, and still I’m sure we’ve all played multiplayer games that have launch modes that we don’t play because we don’t like them and they’re included in the base game. Playing them or not is a choice and a matter of taste. Another thing is that the game only came out with one game mode and we are all desperate for more modes … that not everyone will like and not everyone will play. but tastes are like asses … everyone has one …

I am not even so pissed about the new game like in what’s like. We all like different things but the fact that it came out in such a bad state its just bullshit. I mean they add a new feature to select to play as the predator but you don’t have that key bind set from default? No mute button in lobby? Matchmaking that has people not loading in quite a lot? No backfilling option if people leave? No intro or ending scenes, the game does not even try to balance out and spread PC players across the 2 teams… I can keep going. Its badly made, it looks like a rush job.

That’s really not a comparable situation now, is it?
He doesn’t like the new mode and neither do I for that matter, but plenty of people do so… just don’t play clash.

Clash as been put out with many issues. Not going to list them again (already did it a few times) but as an example you can’t even mute people in lobby. That said this game was about predator hunting the FT and should be kept on the premise they put out when they sold it. Game mode like 2 preds vs 8 FT was what the vast majority of people wanted and it would be kept in line with what the game sold as.

Yeah, i agree with you completely, and the mode we all wanted would have been much more up my alley. But we got what we got.

Fun for who?

While I do think we will get a team Pred mode, can you imagine what 2 coordinated Pred’s could do to a FT?

Sorry playing devil advocate, don’t take it personally.

I do think this proves an idea I really liked doesn’t work. You can’t have two different fireteams competitive against each other with a pred thrown in.
Predator would literally be an afterthought as FTs would decimate each other before the pred can join in.

That they will. I can picture a few situations where you could have opportunities as the Pred but really I think any multiple Pred mode will be against one force not two.

The situations I can see are…

  • Two Pred’s competing for claims, against a large field of opponents that are themselves competing to be the last one alive.

  • A group of STGZ troops with a set number of respawn’s defending a base that has 4 or 5 approaches that all need defending on an outer ring, with 3 approaches on an inner building that are defensible.
    To use 15 players. I picture 8 of them defending, 5 attacking and 2 Pred’s trying to pick off one side or the other. The FT who are attacking may have the option of calling in reinforcement and Pred’s both have standard second wind.

They can still change it so parts like 4v4v2 could go ahead.

Maybe they should’ve beta released this new mode or something.

Oh man I didn’t know that now I feel stupid posting something about the enforcer because I thought it was that 😩

2 preds slapping eachother is also fun OP. It’s most definitely barebones cobbled together in a month but don’t have such a knee-jerk reaction.

If pred kills were worth more points it would balance out fine tbh seeing as its harder for pred to kill FT than FT killing FT.

Rather I think the game NEEDS teams fighting eachother as AI is not enough of a distraction when you have 8 FT running around. What one pred goes to heal and the other just gets destroyed by like 6 players while 2 FT kill AI?

Forcing the pred to be hyper aggressive though. I really don’t like that. I mean we almost already have that with missions that can be cleared in 4 minutes.
Picture both FTs combating for the same mission or something which I figured you’d have to do. Were it me playing that scenario, FT is definitely the bigger threat and getting my attention over predator

If you actually wanted to slow it down you’d just spawn players in waves/increase spawn time dramatically so dying has some weight = you get a stealthier game & they kill a bunch of FT then focus on pred. Or split the group up dynamically, half have a pred objective the rest are tasked with killing people on the other side of the map. 8 players focusing on 1 pred just doesn’t work unless you do crazy things to the preds health making things impossible in a 2v1 scenario for the FT if the rest of the squad is down.

That analogy doesn’t work here

Unless of course you’re still experiencing crashing

Well no I’m thinking more in a 4v4v2 or 5v5v3 scenario.
You might be on to something though. Stargazers objective is to capture pred, Zeus is doing their usual counter ops.
