This mechanic should stay. It’s the only thing to help against melee.
In Star Wars Battlefront 2 you cause damage back with a counter swing . If done with perfect timing . Instantly punishing spamming.
For Hunters how to counter play this is don’t spam. If you get parried 1 time pause let them swing and swing back 1 at a time or take a step back and net or shoot them since the have no range
I would change parry to merely reducing the damage from predator and not stun either party.
I’m not sure about the amount of damage happening. Maybe it needs adjustments. I’d like no damage and it should stun the predator to give a second to make space
But again doesn’t work with cohesive units they are instantly freed which in turn makes the net as pointless as the melee weapons
Granted you may get lucky and have a fireteam that splits up sometimes,I’m not that lucky most times all I can do is attempt to kill just one and that’s the best I can hope for if the fireteam isn’t a full load of sniper rifles hunting me
Yes, if not parry then some kind of counter needs to be in place. It just wouldn’t be fair for the Predator to run around meleeing with impunity. There needs to be a risk vs. reward. If they can melee their target(s) successfully great, but if not…get the hell out of there and try something else.
Yes let’s allow the regular joes to be able to parry the highly advanced, superhumanly strong, twice their size alien Hunter with a dinky ass standard issue steel knife.
There’s no way it would break upon contact with either Predator’s naturally tougher skin or his razor sharp arm blades that can cut through Titanium and tungsten like tissue paper!
That makes total sense that regular Joes should be able to throw down with the Alien race that are master hunters and hand to hand combatants!
What were we thinking!?
If Arnold couldn’t block the Predator. Then neither should you…
In real life it could be possible. I bet some marshal artist could. This is the Fire team so remember they’re badasses too. Don’t forget this is a game
Okay let’s pretend it’s real life.
ARNOLD GOT BITCH SMACKED WITH ONE HAND BY PREDATOR OFF A CLIFF!
2 time bodybuilding champion Mr. Universe Arnold Schwarzenegger, which means unless you got the same build and muscle as the freaking terminator your bones will be paste in one hit!!
HA :) You have a point
Not only can I block him… he is stunned when blocked
It’s a videogame. Not a real life simulation. Some liberties must be taken to make a game enjoyable even if it’s not realistic. Besides, this game is based on a fictional movie. As much as I love the first two movies, I could point out many unrealistic things about them. Sometimes you just need to suspend your disbelief.
Their selling point is literally “Authenticity to the Predator license” and “Predator has the advantage”.
That argument is DOA you’re supposed to be helpless against him alone to encourage teamwork and strategy with the focus being on ESCAPING.
Not throwing down with the Predator in a Leon vs Jack style Knife fight!
Team work is what you have against a melee predator. Parrying is not needed and ahouldnt have been implemented to begin with. It only requires 2 people firing on predator to kill him. Parrying needa to be gone
Cmon man. It’s a game.
Telling me to get out for telling the truth about a mechanic? X3 sorry I don’t sugar coat things I’m honest about it. But really let’s change the name to fireteam hunting grounds XD (this is called sarcasm)
An asymmetrical multiplayer game where the one overpowered player is supposed to be the reason the other team needs 4 to take him down.
That argument isn’t just DOA it fell out of a plane, hit another one on the way down, landed on mt. Everest, rolled down, slammed into several boulders, ramped off into a tree and hit every branch on the way down when it was already dead after the first impact.
The issue with the argument is multi fold to say the least.
something needs to be in there to counter but when you are chased, running away as the predator and this guy is running behind you with a fucking knife because you know your melee attacks will only hurt you… something is wrong.
Lol! Dude, read it again. I wasn’t telling you to get out because of your opinion, I was saying if you’re getting overwhelmed with melee attacks then…get out and try a different tactic. 😂
