Playing Predator is absolutely 0 fun

#1

I’m supposed to be a bad ass feared Predator doing the hunting. Instead I feel like I’m a Pinata getting whacked over and over every match. Where’s the fun in that? In the movies the Predators are these big bad ass feared creatures. In the game they’re a joke.

Don’t tell me to learn to play better. If the odds are 4 against 1, I should have more of an advantage then what I have to work with. I’ve officially quit playing Predator and switching to Fireteam. At least there I can actually feel like a bad ass feared hunter.

90% game “balance” 10% lore accurate weapons and balance lol

It boils down to pred taking too much damage compared to how much he can deal. Needs more balancing.

If they can parry my melee strikes, I want a mechanic to reflect their bullets back at them.

at this rate, I think we need it, this game has no respect for Pred lore anyways lol

Besides getting more balance between Pred and FT balance, I think it would be good if the Predators had some kind of “armor health” status, which wears off as he takes damage, before reaching the health itself. Maybe this status could be available only while he’s on the trees, to avoid fortfying those who go spamming melee, or maybe only while standing still, and using long distance weapons. Another cool feature would be a “Leap kill”, similar to the the aerial attack on the assassin’s creed series. It could kill AIs instantly, but when a player is hit, he could be stunned and take a good amount of damage instead of an Instakill.

Jump in do damage and jump/run out before they all realize your there, it’s not that hard lol, they’ll eventually run out of meds. Strategy and creativity is what it’s about Dude.

Oh please, everytime I jump in, they light me up.

yea, we wear armor, but evidently it’s made in China. It doesn’t to jack shizzle; like I’ll keep saying, this game has no regard for Predator lore whatsoever

what ive noticed while playing as predator, is the ai gangs up on you when you show up to kill the fireteam amongst the chaos. They specifically target you over the fireteam and they ALL unload on you, the damage adds up so fast it’s crazy. Maybe if the ai did more damage to the fireteam, and the knife did less damage to the ai, this game would be a bit more balanced out?

I like it. It’s a small start. I feel the missions should be longer/more complex too. @THESUPERCHRIS

The thing is, sometimes theres 2 main missions, and sometimes there’s 3, I feel like the fireteam should have to go to each of the 3 outposts on the map and do a mission. The fireteam moves way too fast and just gets objs done so quick, it’s very hard playing against a group of randoms that stay together and just revive eachother while one guards with a knife, meanwhile the plasma cannon can’t take them out even 2 fully charged shots and now youre overloaded and have to wait to do anything again.

im winning nearly all my games.

If you can upload some videos of you playing ill try and help you out a bit.

There are some fireteams (mainly PC party/premade) that are very very good and it is actually almost impossible to beat them. but there are not many of them like that.

just stop by the stream, i raged so fucking hard just now, nothing but fireteams sticking together and not doing the obj, two recons, two supports.

I understand teamwork should be emphasized, but if you get just a halfway competent team they destroy you. I’m no GOD at the game, nor do I claim to be, but it seems like I’m being matched up against sweats constantly, but I don’t think that’s even it!

I have some questions, downrange, does it work for the plasma caster? Cause it feels like it doesn’t at all. Another question, why do you come out of stealth when you use your wrist blades? I could see an arguement being made for the combie stick, but I thought the game was supposed to emphasize stealth… which it does not.

So what gives?

yeah 10% extra, the thing it doesnt work with is the bow.

#19

It doesn’t feel like the perks work most of the time, I just rekt a team of console players *humble brag without the downrange perk and it felt like the caster worked about the same.

The perks I feel are kind of meh, we need things like, plasma charge up time reduced, plasma caster splash damage increased, etc.

The perks now seem so I don’t know, jank, like, does the medkit use speed perk work for the second wind medkit you use? have no idea, gotta find out the hard way or through private match you know? Like, it needs to be way more transparent, and while we are at it fix the keybinds for PC! They are trash and some of those actions don’t even do anything! High visibility?! WTF is that?! Don’t allow PC players to lower the shadows from medium, it’s a bullshit way to see the predator constantly and spam him with spot action.

THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT THIS GAME NEEDED MORE FEEDBACK AND MORE BETA TIME!!!

I don’t mean to be an asshole, but sometimes this game infuriates me to no god damn end!

I hear ya. I bet if stats were kept on the overall win rates, it would be 80/20 for the Fireteam. The Predator is anything but a Predator in this game.

I absolutely agree with you though, he should not come out of stealth when attacking in melee. Good God the Predator has SO MANY disadvantages. Nevermind it’s 4 vs 1.
