Well people have to learn so ease up this game is different and a lot of people have never played anything like it. Yes a lot of newer players are very easily stomped as predator but that’s how they will learn so we can keep a large population of players who can keep getting better
Predators players are generally not good
A fire team will not win unless they’re working together and that’s if they’re playing against a dumb player it’s all comes down to how good people are at games
So should the game developers cater to the smaller percentage of people who claim to be good? Or could there be some merit to the players that want some tweaks to the FT and some buffs to the predator?
I mean, I’ll be the first one to admit that I suck at the predator. But I’m trying to learn.
There is a learning curve to everything in life, some people pick up on things quick than others. Telling others not to play because they have no clue is pretty conceited of you.
Eh with the ridiculous advantages the fireteam has, that’s not 100% accurate.
It’s accurate. You can’t claim that the ONLY way a Predator could win was against a bad fireteam, when I was able to do just fine against all types of Fireteams. If I was able to shred with the Scout Predator, than others were able to do the same also. It’s all about skill level of each side. It’s always random, you never know. I haven’t seen a Predator death screen in over two days, at least two dozen matches if not more than that. I’ve been up against loose randoms, and tight squads. Some give more trouble than others.
100% agree with everything you just said! as a predator it’s just impossible to create a real strategy, you have to stay at a distance, because FT can hear you from far away (whereas the predator has an amplified sound which it has to amplify with a asset … what is this scam) … you expect to be able to enter a game between 5 and 10 min! and after you play 15 mins … during these 15 mins, you need rush, rush and even rush! I don’t even want to play this damn game anymore … and when you’re too hurt, you lose 5 mins to find a veeeeeeeery hideout away, because otherwise you are chased, and another 5 mins to heal yourself! over 15 mins it’s too short.
I feel like I’m playing a demo all the time.
I don’t see any differences since the last patch. there is no pleasure in playing the predator … it’s nonsense.
For my part, I will uninstall the game and I will replay (maybe) if there are real improvements and balances.

You’re stupid *
I dunno man, honestly I never understood all the Predator complaints at all. I’ve played with an experienced FT and Predator, and the Predator won several times. But people were saying the Predator was too weak. I don’t think that was the case at all, I think people were just playing wrong. 🤷🏻♂️
Reminds me of F13 all over again.
Just because you’re not winning doesn’t mean it needs to be buffed. Well, and just because you’re losing doesn’t mean it needs to be nerfed. 🤷🏻♂️

Less predator noise and no spotting would make all the difference

Most preds are not good. Most ft are not good.
Such is the way of gaming.

Yea… idk what to say to that 😂 that truly is just some horrible predator player moments 😬
Spotting exists so players without mics can still communicate when necessary. A good Predator won’t be affected by spotting. Gotta know when to go in, back off, rinse & repeat.
The sound exists so FT can get an idea of where the Predator is. But the audio levels seem to be a bit off period, so… 🤷🏻♂️
well isn’t it the case with most skill based games? In truth, only few players will be good predators that will dominate. Meanwhile most players will be average or low rank players that will win some, lose some and struggle in general.
I think the main problem rn is that game throws into lobbies players with high and low skill level, which causes such inequality in matches.
I just rage at how little info I have. Target isolation? There’s mud for that. Noise? There’s suppressors for that. I hang out at objectives and wait. Most games I just leave after 5 minutes of not finding them after waiting 9 minutes to get in. I know good predators make it work but I hate it and feel rushed in every engagement for fear of loosing them again. I’m not good.

I used to be able to kill most or all of the Fireteam members fairly reliably as the Predator before this current patch because there were enough AI soldiers to keep them busy and open up opportunities for quick ambushes, but now I’ve been doing terribly every single match because there’s nothing to stop the Fireteam from constantly looking for you almost 24/7. It feels like the game is forcing me into doing little bits of chip damage here and there then retreating, but the matches don’t last anywhere near long enough for that to actually yield any results.

Mud only effects passive heat vision, not your scan.
On start, leap 3 times towards center of map(or to objective if you recognize your spawn location) then scan. Never fails.
Well I’m getting other information in the bug report section sir. Literally half of my games target isolation doesn’t work even at mid map. Either the whole FT getting dropped or my vision bugged. I can see gunfire but isolation is like 40/60 when it works.
Mud to indeed effect the scan as well.
Not sure if it changed since the latest update. But it did before.
The Predator is shit.
You don’t have a cahnce against a good fireteam.

parry needs to be removed entirely, not nerfed
