As I said, I whole heartedly disagree with your assessment. Feel free to tell me to “git gud” all you like.
Patch Notes 2.09 (Hotfix)
Dude.
You’re wrong.
Its extremely unbalanced right now because of certain perks (specializations) and the ft dps being way too high.
You need to get into a party with me and the others who play alot and are good so we can show you first hand what we mean.
As you can see I’m done mocking you or fucking with you, I’m actually trying to tell you how things are.
I’m a hybrid and aside from preferring to play predator, I really dont have a bias.
If it was up to me the ft would have the mobility of titanfall.
But that’s besides the point.
Everything that I’ve told you, hasn’t really been opinion, but straight observation and what I’ve analyzed from the game.
Right now the ft requires very little to no effort.
I’m really not trying to put you down or talk shit but I honestly feel the only reason you think it’s fine as it is, is because you’re not a high tier player.
I think your mid tier.
I cant say, because I havent seen you play.
I would like to however. Maybe play against you or even Just play with you to see where you’re at.
You have a bias.
A strong one.
Theres only two things I can think of.
You’re either a mid tier player or you just love having things completely in your favor and having complete advantage.
If the game Stays as it is, then ft needs a few nerfs, and pred needs some buffs.
I can not stress it enough.
In a game that’s 1v4, 1 single person should not be able to kill or critically wounded The side or faction that has only been player.
It is completely unfair.
That is a huge issue atm, and it’s been a big problem for like 5 months now.
Also you say you’re not supposed to face the ft.
Uh no.
Thats What the hunt is. Its a fight.
That’s the problem.
Everyone thinks the predators all would hunt the exact same way or their supposed to fight a certain way.
This is pretty stupid.
It’s an entire civilization.
Different preds would specialize in different things, like different people specialize in different things.
So there would be close combat masters that focus on that.
Melee needs to be viable in order To represent this.
The hatred for pred melee needs to fucking stop.
As for me I’m full hybrid with everything, I don’t Ever see myself focusing only one thing, as instinctively I change up how i fight.
But I would absolutely love to see different masters in this game.
Melee masters, range masters, trap masters, and hopefully, a summon master.
I feel like these 4 styles Should be options on the game and have a good amount of depth to them.
I have ideas for the ft as well, but right now they dont need anything at all.
However, what i really feel this game absolutely needs is a rework.
It needs to be better and balanced for pred, and more fun For the ft.
A huge problem with ft is how boring it is.
Anyway I welcome you and anyone you have to join me in a psn party to play and discuss the game.
We might not completely Agree but I should be able to explain things better there.
Anyway it’s up to you man.
All I’ve ever been after is true balance.

Dude. Im no pro Predator. That’s a fact . I’m no pro FT either The fact that I can recognize that, makes me capable to know when Im facing Pro players or not.
I confess, In this latest patches i almost only play FT. But… But… I face many, many Pro Pred players. And, despite its harder for them now, they still can manage to win if they adopt the right atrategy…

I’m not a pro ft but I’m dependable enough if I’m not off my game.
I’d rate myself 9/10 ft player and can be a 10 if I dont fuck up.
I want to make it clear to you, I’m in no way trying to be mean or an asshole to you when I say any of this to you. I’m emphasizing this because I know sometimes I come across strongly and I’m just trying to share with you how the people who’ve been playing since launch or very early on,
And do well and are good players, what they know.
I still win, for the most Part as pred. However, it’s been extremely fucking annoying when theres a field Medic, or 3 ppl who know their doing and have meta dps builds, it just complete bullshit because they end up extracting because the cheap gimmicks ft has available to them.
When I play ft and we happen to lose its honestly just cause we werent paying enough attention or just fucking around. Its way too easy for ft atm.
We just need to balance the game.
Also, if you play with at least 2 other people who are good you will notice what I’m saying.
Honestly if you and at least 1 other buddy are really good, that’s good enough 90% of the time.
No joke.
Like I said man, I just want balance.
Sorry if me repeating all this is annoying, I just hate that I see so much bias from ft focused players who dont actually care about balance, or players who dont care/ dont see the obvious problems.

Your words:
“I still win, for the most Part as pred”.
“We just need to balance the game”.
So, is it balanced or not? If its not, its pending for the Predator side? Right?
Your words, not mine.
But hey, i understand what you mean.
You know what would really solve this issue? Ranked matches.
Create ranks for players, like COD.
Then pairing matches.
- pros vs pros
- average vs average
- noobs vs noobs.
Just my 2 cents…

Can we get a new end game cutscene that mirrors the credits of Predator
With a short clip of all the players gameplay then them posing with their names on the screen?

You understand you judge balance off of the characters and not individual performance right?
So my individual results dont matter.
Especially me cause I tend play and do better than most.
This is a severe problem with a lot of Ppl on here.
You dont balance around 1 person or a few people you balance around the characters themselves.
If you want to get true balance.
Cause a good player Can make something shitty work, but that doesnt mean it’s not shitty.
Also, since I’m not self centered Or selfish, I also think of how it would be for other people. And I cant see a casual player having any chance or fun with pred, since the odds are so stacked against them.

If it works, its not shitty…
I really dont agree with this last words from you. Because if you, a PRO, or close to that, can manage to win most of the matches, it means its possible. And if its possible for you, its possible for anyone else.
Im not aPro at Predator, not even close. Maybe not even average. But i can have fun at that. Sometimes i lose in 3/4 minutes, but mostly i lose at the chopper site.
Sometimes i win against noobs, sometimes i even win agains pros. Very rare but it happens. But you know what? I dont care, because i know i am not already good at Pred, but i know its possible to win, i just have to practice enough and execute a good strategy… i know now that activating alarms its very useful, try to destroy HP and ammo boxes early also, placs traps… That will give me more chances of success. I know that i cannot use trees all the time, i know i cant melee more than 2 guys at once. Yes, its a lot of details that Predator has to observate to win against a pro FT, what i mean is that is possible.
At this point, if buff Predator, we’ll go to square one, when only what Predator hat to do was engage the FT 4 times and 5 min were enought to win a match. And noob Predators had a significant chance to win. I dont want that and i think nobody wants that…
I stand beside my opinion: ranked matches!
Dude.
In other games?
Yes. Ppl can totally do what I do. But in this one?
Not really.
Not only that I push myself way harder then most ppl.
Il say it again.
Just because a good player can make something shitty work, doesn’t mean it’s not shitty.
Dan from street fighter is an example.
A good player will pull him off, but dan is still purposely a bad a character.
Hes meant as a joke character.
And this goes for any other low tier, garbage Shit.
But just because a good player manages to pull off something shitty does not mean it stops being shitty.
As I Said man, if you want true balance, you need to look at the characters, not the players.
And the truth of the matter is, the game Has no balance atm.
So there’s 2 options.
Nerfs and buffs,
Or a rework.

Nerfs and Buffs are going to help short term, but overall we need rework.
Agree.
I still think ranked matches would solve the problem.
Or maybe add more weapons/traps for the Predator or shorten the second wind reload time.

More ways the pred can fight indirectly will help immensely, so yes more traps tech, and Ranged weapons.
Yeah, but on the other hand i would take out the ability to reacquire the arrows…
I used to say less arrows, less nets, and limited ammo with the handheld caster.
If they did that, they could make everything stronger, but, in the end, you would either have to rely on melee or plasma caster.
This would lead to more interesting battles, with strong ranged attacks early in the hunt, leading to more focus on melee to finish the hunt.
Plz come up with bios for our FT members
And give them their own custom predator hunter outfits
By now I think we can drop the ambiguity with the Predator in regards to FT also
And please lose those tassles 🤣🤣🤣
I just noticed something wierd
When you melee the plants it sounds the same as if it was a person @OldKingHamlet
Maybe this could free up some memory?
Nobody said anything til now. Another reason why playing as Pred is more challenging than getting a little clan together and pretending to be soldiers.
Message to real PC players that have a slightly higher advantage.
I hope they fix the controls locking up for predator making him unable to use weapons
