Agree. Fireteam needs tools stripped away. Spotting, ease of loadout options, and parries stunning predator need to be gone.
Will be funner for Fireteams I think to have to work harder.
Predator...
I think a majority of Predator players are not you. Most never try and split the group, they don’t use traps or decoys, they rush in when they think people are distracted even though they have line of sight to at least one other FT member. They over commit more often than not and for some reason they always go for the kill and claim while they are getting lit up. I’m baffled at why they do that but it happens more often than not.
It seems as if nearly every Pred player has no patience and no sense of awareness. I can see why they feel weak because they are trying to tank damage from the FT just to claim. I haven’t played the Pred a ton but I was able to drop a guy and kill him from range, I let the FT move on before I claimed and then went after another guy and so on.

Yeah, I think many of the issues people run into with the Pred is playstyle and bugs/glitches. However there are definitely moments where I’m like, “Ok, well, what the hell am I gonna do because I can’t sneak up on these guys, I can’t flank them, they spot me before I even get close so I have very few opportunities to snipe with the caster, and melee definitely isn’t an option and oh look they’re calling the chopper after 3 minutes of gameplay…ok well fuck me…lol”

some people just have never experienced this and wont so much if they turn off crossplay and play on PS4 they are probably not seeing it at all.
I dont see it much either but when you do, you have to accept its not actually possible to compete.
nearly all my games though are fine… i think maybe just leave it, but its also no fun for those fireteams to play the game with no competition or threat… its not a predator experience.
Small tweaks like slowing down the fireteam and extending the missions so the Pred doesn’t feel so much pressure to rush his attack, lessening the pinpoint accuracy of the noises the Pred makes, and putting limits on spotting would probably help. The Pred needs to be able to stalk a little more. The opportunities are there I think…but with some teams it can be near impossible to find them.
Also fixing the glitches and bugs, tightening the controls, etc would probably help.

I think that the mission time has to go up and the FT speed has to come down some.
I’d also like to see the Pred get more melee options like kicks and slaps that knock people down. Maybe a grab option to where a Pred can grab a downed FT person and run off with them.

yup
Now I really like that lol. Might be a little OP, but could be balanced by slowing his movement and making him unable to leap away. Also the human could start screaming wildly to alert his team he’s being kidnapped! Haha! Actually I LOVE THIS.
Said this in multiple threads. And feel it just needs to happen…
FT consits of one of each class… Meaning.
Assult: machine guns and pistols
Support: LMG’s and shotguns
Scout: SMG’s and pistols
Recon: snipers and Smg’s…
That’s JUST MY OPINION.
perry needs to use up more stamina. Also stamina needs a slower recharge rate.
And spotting,… well fuck spotting.

I’d say absolutely same about how it feels playing pred and ft
fckin pain in ass
Yes, yes, and yes. One clarification, stamina needs to recharge more slowly for the fireteam. Not the Predator.

yeyeye that is it
What are those mechanics ?
Well shooting him for one. The fireteam can do a ton of damage in a very short time if they work together.
The scout, recon, and assault can actually just run past him to cause him to miss. Support is a little too slow.
Bottom line, one or two parrys should be more than enough time for the fireteam to come help. If it’s not, then they weren’t staying close enough together and watching each others backs, and the Pred should be able to punish them for it. It’s hard enough to find opportunity as it is.
The whole team just shooting him. Lol. 2 people will out dps berserker
Yeah there are ways to deter a predator from claiming but no real mechanics to really stop him from claiming a trophy, like you could stop jason from grabbing someone in F13. A good pred must only judge when is the moment to claim or not.
If the devs could make some change to balance the game, like in F13, make the pred harder to kill, but give more way for the FT to stun him so they can escape, I think it would be perfect. But in it’s current states, the FT needs everything it has to win. Nerfing them would make them boring to play (beside maybe a small parry nerf and spotting nerf).
