There’s also an abundance of pig spawns. One of which is always guaranteed to give you at least 3 of the walking meat sacks on the left side hanger’s roof in the middle of the map. A roof which is very hard for FT to quickly get up and only has one safe exit, jumping off taking a good chunk of their health.
The open spaces are perfect for ambushing the FT, they have no places to take cover and lots of ground to cover to reach any. Like shooting in a fish in a barrel if you catch them there. Also means no chance of you clipping on to geometry or hitting a tree branch with your head as you rush around.
For every resource the Airstrip map gives FT (which if you’re even worth your salt as a Pred ya should just take 10 seconds out of your time to destroy those guaranteed ammo & medkit spawns at the start of the match) the map counters it by providing verticality & open stretches that favour the Predator unequivocally. Airstrip is one of the most balanced maps in the game, if not the most balanced, and has easily earned its spot as my most favoured hunting ground in the game right now.
Against a good Pred FT need to be a little babied, and against any Pred better than that… well they’re not going to get those resources to begin with are they.
