I think FT should just keep respawning as weakened AI characters until all humans are dead or pred is
Reinforcements are overdue a rework.
Pred should just be replaced with a T-posing armored AI and the person on the pred team should be forced to spectate because I don’t like asymmetricals!
Yeah. The predator could keep fighting the other FT members, go for a long claim, or wait for the downed player to bleed out. The whole point would be to extend the battle between FT and predator without using the reenforcement mechanic. Leaving quick claims or allowing the predator to reduce the downed duration would leave FT members with no incentive to stay once downed because, at that point, your input on the outcome of the game is effectively over. Playing fireteam must be fun or the game will die.
Ok long claim is suicide so you can just remove that entirely. What a joke. I can only assume your teammates split off in all directions as soon as they load in.
If you have 3 people covering a downed guy YES you have incentive to stay in the game because people can still get you up if they’re not fucking garbage unable to pressure the pred with 3 people when this game only has the longest most ridiculous downed timers BECAUSE the pred can shorten them and force the FT to play around the downed guy.
You don’t get to be rewarded with half a min of human shield invincibility for being headshot with a bow.
IF they spawned you with the same equipment instead of REPLENISHING IT SO THAT FIRETEAMS SHOOT BARRELS AND KILL THEMSELVES TO GET ALL THEIR GEAR BACK people would still play fireteam without your terrible ideas encouraging preds to all use bow and just farm the downed guy everytime his bot team revives him while absolutely destroying pred gameplay in anything that’s not braindead ps4 pubs. Making it MANDATORY to farm people or make it MANDATORY to sit there and be farmed for downs is a bad idea and you should feel bad.
Yeah, well, that’s just, like, your opinion, man.
Seriously. You need to take a chill pill.

Ha ha. You must not be very old.
Imagine shamelessly asking for invincibility in any game because you got downed

You crack me up. I don’t have to imagine. I did it, and I was shameless.
But why?
Well there are many games in the FPS genre that allow people to be downed and “invincible.” Games like call of duty, battlefield, and borderlands all allow players to be killed or down and there would be a set amount of time available to revive them. You couldn’t keep shooting them to keep them down. You had to wait until they were revived, and then try to hit them again before they had a chance to heal. I understand that battle royals have made it common to have a health pool while down, but this wasn’t always the case.
Borderlands isn’t even a pvp game what are you talking about? Battlefield requires a DEFIBRILLATOR and in an fps you aren’t shooting at the ground to begin with.
What game are you playing where you kill 3 people and they all just crawl around on the ground downed for half a minute?
Your bait is beyond dumb but ill respond anyways.
This is an asymmetrical with one person playing in third person vs downed hitboxes that are as tall as a crouching player and melee lock on mechanics. One, two, or three invincible bulletshields crawling around for a longer time than it takes to down them to begin with is so stupid for so many reasons but basically what it comes down to is you’re just bad. Same for thinking you should be able to revive yourself with syringe because you forgot to use them when you were getting pelted with arrows.
It’s your fault you got downed and held your team back not the game sry. Even if they made the predator have to down everyone a whooping collective 12 times like you’re literally asking for you’d still manage to lose for being bad enough to ask for that kind of buff to begin with.
Isn’t this whole thread about nerfing or “reworking” redeploy, but I’m bad? Okay.
I’m new to asymmetrical games. But I’ve been playing multiplayer games for over 20 years.
I’m just throwing out ideas here, but if calling them dumb makes you feel better about all your crazy rants on this forum, go right ahead.
We’ll see tomorrow if the devs are all that interested in making big changes, or if they are content with the current balance, regardless of what is said here, anyway.
Git gud

Got it👍🏼 Accepting now… It’s 2am so I’m heading offline, but I’ll try and catch you again sometime over the weekend👌🏼
@Finessology & @Schoolboy_Skeptik I think you two are just both arguing for the sake of it at the moment.
You seem to be (either deliberately or accidentally) ignoring the valid points the other is making. (You both have valid points and concerns).
There is absolutely a solution in the middle that addresses both of your concerns, while improving the gameplay for everyone involved.
People need to remember that just because a proposed change may not mesh well with how another mechanic that currently exists, does not mean that change is immediately ‘bad’. Sometimes to cater for one improvement in a game, you must also make additional changes to support the flow on effect.
If X will not work because of Y, then change X & Y together!
One thing that is not in doubt, is there are multiple areas in which this game can be improved.
Lets work more on creating ideas or supporting those who have them instead of fighting against the ideas we don’t like. At the end of the day, if the ideas are ‘truely terrible’, the Devs aren’t going to do them anyway. As frustrated as we might be with Illfonic at the moment, they aren’t braindead.

This is an ancient feud sparked whenever i’m in pred queue if you check our post history ngl, it’s for sport like me calling ps4 players potatoes. They aren’t actually potatoes the game just genuinely needs controller aim assist like every other console FPS so a lot of them stop feeling that FT is weak. The actual debate here is why on earth mouse and raw controller input are being balanced the same way but since we cannot discuss that which shall not be spoken of I just bully him & his ideas when its convenient.

I haven’t spoken to the guys yet because there’s so many of us, we are probably going to end up fighting over certain players that we want🤣
Lol let them know, also there’s a confirmed reward now and if you don’t have a team I’ll assign you with randos
