Pred-rant!

The whole point of 4 vs 1 is that the Predator is slighlty more advanced technologically.
If he is not even that, then its just an elite specOps team, armed to the teeth vs a giant alien leaping frog with a bow!

But lets get to the details, shall we?

FT is able to heal to 100% in 2 seconds, while the predator must set up an open heart surgery table everytime he heals or find and chase zero inertia squealing pigs, like a fucking farmer!
Oh that squealing pig sound brought the FT straight to you?
Who would have guessed?
I guess it would make sense to leave that pork chop down and yeet the fuck out of there,
but noooo… mama Predator always said to clean your plate and then you can play with your friends,
so don’t let those headshots and backstabs interrupt your meal.

What else?
Oh yeah!
FT is constantly getting new ammo, medkits and reinforcements, while also carrying half of America’s (North and South) arsenal on their backs and some of them are like… armored up bipedal lobsters,
while you decided that a two piece metallic bikini and a fullbody sexy as fuck fishnet is more than enough to stop bullets coming from a machinegun that is normally mounted on helicopters, but somehow this FT member with the heavy Austrian accent decided to rip it off the chopper at the last moment before jumping on to the ground and now he carries it as SECONDARY weapon, storing it between his ass cheeks I guess!
Meanwhile the predator has 30 arrows that he can use as GoogleMap markers to mark the ground with all the places the FT has been so far!
Oh you 're supposed to hit the FT with them?
Yeah, no, fuckers are a mix between cockroaches and bunnies!!
Plus the hitbox of each arrow is so small, you can literally shoot an arrow through the fingers of an FT member and it won’t count as a hit.
Try netting them.
Oh right! They can break out of the net in 2 secs flat!
Yeah, a mix of cockroaches, bunnies and macros.
Anyway… better go back all the way to the other side of the map and pick all of your arrows up like a beggar, 'cause you just launched your last arrow.

Don’t you just love being a superior galaxy travelling species?
Oh that’s right there isnt enough time!

Fear not!

You always have your slow charging plasma cannon!
Weeeell… good luck after you shoot your first shot with that thing!
It doesnt matter if you hit your target or not, you are now spotted…
What’s that?
You were 100% cloaked? lol
Yeah…
your “invisibility” cloak is as effective as hiding under the bedsheets as a child,
but just in case someone on the FT didn’t get the memo of your current location,
Illfonic made sure to give them a 2nd chance, so they added to every projectile a very nice and fat trace that leads straight back to you,
like those arrow shaped, “EAT AT JOE’S” neon labels!
Now its the FT’s turn to throw their things that go BOOM at you!
Only difference being, their things can go boom in mid-air as well as on the ground,
have a greater area of effect than your boom
and can fuck you up just enough for the sniper to take you out while you try to run away, yelping like a dog in agony!

Good thing you have that amazing alien skill of leaping really high and far, but naaaah you can’t use that buddy, you crazy?
You’ll get snipped or at the very least get spotted for 3000 seconds.
Ssshhhhhh… it’s ok… it’s not unfair. It’s a perk!
Remember you are the ultimate alien hunter!
You will find a way to sneak up on them!
I am sure!
Lets see what you ‘re rockin’!
Giant headlights on your mask? Check!
Glowing little christmas tree lights on every weapon, gadget and armor? Check!
Glowing fluorecent blood visible even when you are on the roof and the FT underneath? Check!
Your cannon’s laser pointer visible in the interior of buildings as you are aiming from the exterior? Check!
T-rex levels of noise when you sprint and elephant when you walk? Check!
Branches go “braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhrrrrrrr” when you land on them? Check!
Oh and have leaves falling just in case… Check!
Every weapon on you makes a noise as you try to aim at someone with it? Check!
You clicking every other second like you have predator asthma and are on the brink of a seizure? Check!
Let’s see… did we forget something?
OH YEAH!
The thermal vision! Those headlights are not enough I think.
Lets have the switching from and to thermal vision make the noise it did in the movie, but instead lets have it be playing out so loud as if you accidentally connected your alien mask’s internal noises to the loud speakers of the whole camp through Bluetooth!
The ultimate stealthy hunter I tell you!

Meanwhile FT enjoys a wonderful first person view which allows them to know exactly where their shots are going to land,
while you my friend are rocking a 3rd person camera view which not only will confuse the fuck out of you when you are trying to shoot your left side mounted cannon, only to have the plasma shot land on the wall to your left (even though the laser pointer of the cannon clearly indicated it wasn’t in the shot’s path), but will also make you live the complete out of body experience right when you finally manage to land stealthily behind a FT member, because you also landed with your back close to a wall!
Now witness how your sexy translucent body is blocking your shot as the 3rd person camera tries to squeeze itself between the wall and your alien buttcheeks!
I guess this camera view is good to see the FT as they chase you down when you go second wind, while you bump your head into branches trying to leap away, or my personal favourite, leap vertically in place because something not higher than a pancake was right infront of you and completely blocked your leap path…

Maybe try taking sloth skulls back to Predlandia.
Maybe no one will notice…

The amount of characters in the OP is quite oppressive

That was one of the best, and frankly fairly accurate rants I’ve seen in a long time lol.

Sorry I could rant over a long period of months but I decided to blow my load all in one go. You can read it on your way to work like a book.

I see you are a fan of essays! I salute you!

You couldn’t pay me to read it

I would finish Skyrim before that

I do hope you feel better though

Too bad… I mention you at some point in it…

Bruh… Just kill and eat the pigs… And you win. You have unlimited health sir.

lol
Someone didnt get the point of my gargantuan rant… I dont blame you for not reading it.

No I read your post, I just think that this is the part I disagree with the most. I think that the pigs are helpful and not too difficult to use when playing.

Please do this against me…you get 1 freebie for funsies

Sure… unless the map decides to spawn 0 pigs, or the fight has moved to a totally different area of the map and there is no time to go to feed, or if you are playing against a deathsquad that knows all the pig spawn places and blocks you from feeding while they are there. Plus you cannot cancel feeding on a pig while getting shot at, which makes no sense at all.

Fair points and a pretty entertaing read. Good effort on that part.

The game is not about realism. Devs did a semi-decent job balancing original idea to make the game multi-layeted. It’s better in that sense than it’s ever been in my opinion. Yes, there a lots of broken mechanics and I’d argue that while they are not fair, they add to the challenge and make the game less bland. That includes the limited arrows, the pig mechanics, the pred noise, among other things. It may be bad mechanics overall, but it’s good to have extra things to think about and more elements of surprise. Call it superficial depth.

I understand that all this adds up to much frustration against premades, but you gotta consider the ransoms out there that can get obliterated in 2 minutes. Even if you struggle as pred, at least you always get to play and control the action.

Sorry if my reply is short 😁

Before the git guds, everything you said is 100% correct 🤷‍♀️

Holy balls. I only have one thing to comment on. The fishnets are meant to help the cloaking device more evenly spread the reflective layer across the body. Is it not?
