Poll on the weapons

#21

A. Predator hunters. It’s a comic about a group of predator hunters and it’s great. Same goes for Stalking shadows. The concept of humans hunting predators is actually pretty good.

B. It was just an exampe of how Pred tech can make the game interesting. Not saying it’s the moat perfect weapon to ever be introduced.

C. Gameplay over vibes/story/atmosphere. If you can have both cool but if Pred tech is nessacary to get a piece of equipment that’s really good for gameplay because it’s too far fetched for it to be human gear. Go with Pred tech.

#22

Almost entirely agree with you but atmosphere is super super important hahah like as important as literally anything else so definitely wrong on that one. And still no to the predator hunters thing. I’m sure there was a cool comic line about it but there’s a cool comic where Batman is a pirate too and I don’t want fuckin pirate Batman in my Batman games. We want what all the fans fell in love with the franchise for not some obscure one off story

#23

Plus the pred tech gear is not helping game play it’s actually hurting it?? Like the humans now have everything necessary to entirely counter a predator. Meanwhile the predator can’t even split them up effectively

The FT is firing plasma rifles, throwing energy nades, and making super soldiers in thermal combat suits because they’ve obtained so much of their tech.
Pred is still chucking sticks or trying to seal club them.

It’s lame. Fireteam hunting grounds. Just fly to their planet with a reverse engineered mothership & wipe them all out with a reverse engineered super nuke and announce that the game is over.

Just give FT a planetbuster cutscene if they extract the preds corpse with no damage and then roll credits.

The friendly preds in Clash can work in the veritanium mines.

Lmao its so fucking dumb thematically I hate it. They either give a shit about their technology or they don’t. Pick one. If you turn preds into fodder for a task force it makes them look stupid asf.

I get it maybe a serial killer’s preferred method of killing is stabbing them with a samurai sword but why are you running at the police with your samurai sword when they’re 100% aware of your existence and shot 3 of your serial killer friends last week?

Predators suck when you’re prepared and aware of their existence because they don’t really function after you know how they work and they have no more tricks up their sleeves besides trying to ambush people. Its just like oooh its invisible big deal. “Big woop our space elevator got a read on another pred ship, i’m gonna sit on this canyon with my thermal googles and shoot this one in the back of the head watch this.”
If zeus’s thermal predator drones are ready we can just blow them up from space at match start and be done with it.

Well said my friend. Again what I have been saying lol. The “coolness” of predator if you will, is lost when we(the humans) become the hunters

It’s very close to timeline with Scarface in Predator Concert Jungle. With all the gadgets Borgia Industries and Neonopolis had to offer

#30

Yeah that’s what was missing a concrete jungle mech suit for fireteam

#31

Hey those only exist in the year 2030, plus they were made by Borgia Industries, along with flying cars.

So unless Illfonic decides to reference Borgia Industries (or introduce them into the game) we won’t have any of those very Very VERY interesting technological wonders in the game.

So in short no Borgia Industries means: No mechs, no cyborgs, and no Army of Deadly Assassin Porn Stars

Those enemies are made for that game so the game is not super boring and has different enemy types tho. This game does not need all that nonsense it’s compelling enough as is

#33

Your absolutely right
I really don’t want any of the enemies from that game in PHG

(Don’t play FT enough/at all)
It’s the Sawz-50 Sniper right?

Personally, I haven’t had trouble yet with that one.
I think I haven’t ran into a team using it “effectively” enough.
Or, at all.

My personal weakness seems to be the ones wearing Pudgy Armor (slow but spongy).
Rocking fucking Grenade Launcher and Rocket Launchers out the ass.
Can never seem to get close for the finale kill when they just spam each other with it.

I’m not saying this is a balancing issue.
For my personal experience.
I believe it’s my lack of knowledge on how to engage explosive damage since it halves my health every time.

Ontop of bugs like Pig spawns, sometimes getting suck in shit cause collision issues.
Being spot spammed (cant even get close).
Masses of AI standing beside me while Im cloaked giving me away.

And then at some point their all just standing on rooftops waiting for me.
I just get bored and chase pigs around or find something else to play with.
I aint a Pro Pred I can’t capitalize on that shit.

#38

Yeah, SAW-Z 50 is the sniper rifle.

Turn the crossplay on, I’m sure you’ll find trouble. :)
Well, you can avoid Grenade’s and Rockets, good luck avoiding the sniper bullet which deals alot of dmg.
Grenade’s and rockets are slow, so you can avoid them. Having a good sniper or two against you, with the spotting perk, you can’t really even get up close enough.

Yeah, Derailed is a sniper map, cause of all the rooftops.

My point was, Predator need’s a better ranged weapon to be able to counter Recon sniper with spotting perk. All FT’s weapons are hit scan weapons, meaning, you place your dot and hit fire and it hits the target.

Predator on the other hand, has projectile weapons which are easy to avoid, especially at longer distances.

#39

My crossplay is on.

Also, true about the moving out of the way.
But I struggle to read the red visuals when a grenade is thrown. My own issue sadly since im a special kind of colorblind.
That little red grenade icon just confuses me at most.

But these are on 90% of my Pred classes.

If I wanted to capatlize on them, the 10%, last resort class would be my option.
But I never run into those Turtle Hurtle Grenade spammers with that class on enough.
And there is no way to change class mid match.
So it just leaves me to my own boredum.

Im just gonna assume my match making is poor.
Ontop of me not running my most powerful class all the time either.
Its boring and repeative at most if I did anyways.
Personal preferance though. But eh its a game whatya gonna do.

P.s I dont think they ever will release a strong counter to that system.
Without breaking the game further anyways.

It would seems like the Pred is just gonna have to be mindful of the Ft weilding the Sawz50.
His position.
His Fts position.
If he can hit headshots both far, medium, and close ranges.
If ther is more than one Sawz50 on the team.
And who is more important to down first.

Its allot of variables honestly and weighing the engagment right now.

I don’t see the point in making this game set in the future only to embrace old weapons or greased weapons for the sake of being realistic. I think one can look at metal gear for an example of what high tech could be and I can say is they haven’t ventured that far out. I mean they may had included plasma guns but at least they made a prototype that is more realistic than futuristic. We just need more variety. So far I think they’ve completed all that we really need save for maybe a night vision scope or a thermal scope to see predator tech. Then I would like to see a lot more fun, and sadistic yautja tech. Maybe they were holding out until they got all their human dlcs into the game.
