Just curious,
How many of you would be for or against taking away preferences entirely?
Everyone has the chance to play predator and FT.
Using a percentage system to determine who will play predators next
Seeing as there are 4 FT members maybe a random generated percentage to each player after each game
of course predator set back to 0?
Pros and cons?
Ppl would just leave the lobby if they couldn’t play Pred lol I don’t mind playing FT at all it’s fun on both sides but I play Pred mostly
I’ve seen a similar idea before. People would just leave. I wouldn’t like it personally. I bought the game to play as predator, seeing as it’s called “Predator:Hunting Grounds”.
Yeah but they could add a leaving the lobby penalty that gets worse each time they leave.
Also i get that playing as the predator is the main reason any of us wanted this game. No one was like yeah I can’t wait to play the pred game cuz its got fireteams hewwyaa lol
But it at least might help the wait times while also giving you the gameplay of being hunted by the predator
Also these forums are a good place to do like private match lfg like hey im a pred main, any FT mains want to lobby up? (Myself being a FT main lol)
I wouldn’t mind seeing this with a penalty attached for leaving or alternatively, dedicated lobbies reserved for people who would rather play with no preference.
On paper great idea.
Reality bites. Even with the penalty, people will leave automatically when they dont get what they wanted.
Also RNG for chance to be the icon wouldn’t be fair. I’ll play a bunch as FT right now then I’ll do a bunch as Pred, I just do small tasks or check meme or look at booty models on the Internet to kill time. Im willing to wait so as I know what im getting. Which is why I hate the 5 min OBJs they give FT sometimes.
If waiting gets too bad, fuck it I’ll take a break and load another game for a bit.
im against it. I like the choice to play whatever.
I can wait and play pred or if i want a fast game i play FT.
should add some friends and then play with them rotating predator, then you get to play it a lot.
Yeah but I don’t like it when there’s consequences in video games to doin smthn I wanted to do for personal reasons. If I didn’t get predator and I wanted predator, I’d be pissed and would just drop the game. Sometimes I have a limited amount of time to play and just want to play a quick round as predator. Also, matchmaking times have gotten better for me.
Agreed, I don’t mind either side. I don’t mind waiting a couple of minutes, gives me time to think about trying a new hunting strategy, evolving to be a better hunter if you will. I do think they should make it so you can’t call the chopper until like minute 12, and it taking 1-2 minutes for the chopper to show up. So maybe increasing the Amount of objectives, or the amount of time you need to spend on an objective would naturally cause a longer game.
I just played an almost 11-12 minute game. I found the fireteam right off, and very quietly and slowly moved above the objective. Then I turned on thermal, scanned them and watched them rack up XP. I followed quietly, by the 2nd and 3rd objective they were complacent. They made mistakes and I was right next to them to capitalize. I wiped the entire team, earned 10.5k XP, and recovered an OWLF tape as the Pred. Didn’t know that was a thing. But it slowed the pace down and was very satisfying long game.
Those are good games on both sides usually.
Not sure if the hard cap should be can’t call evac till a time, I’m the goal is in and out ASAP.
Some missions should have the secondary bonus OBJ subbed out for something different and mandatory. Without Predator interaction I think 6-7 min runtime is a good time. Pred in the mix, as long as they’re decent can easily extend that time by a few mins.
I think most FT players would agree that not only could they use some more intricate OBJs but some new ones too, some shoot outs are good too.
Hell even adding some actual patrols between camps with better frequency would make everyone’s day more interesting. Predator included.
Agreed
