Ha! So besides all the inherent balance advantages the FT have, Pred players should go easy on them at the start of the game just in case they’re not very good?
Perhaps if I didn’t have to deal with multiple speed running, Dante field medics I’d be open to this, but no - the Devs have made clear their approach to the two factions: Specialisations, melty weapons, and fast tanky DLC for the FT. Useless melee weapons and ‘pretty’ space vikings for the Preds.
If I get an FT player down at the start, I do my best to finish them off. If that means they quit, so be it. I’ve let my fair share of players reinforce (and still do). I’m not mollycoddling FT anymore.
