Hell, it wouldn’t be so bad if you could shoulder swap on the Predator. Some build layouts do not work at all with the Predator PoV.
Roof slam is fair
from the jankiness of the camera, the angle at which you have to shoot things through doorways where you cant see in the doorway anymore. the fucking janky ass melee tracking in a building.
its not like i never go in buildings i go in them all the time but some of them feel like death traps to the predator so i dont go in them. I think the smaller ones definitely are supposed to feel like death traps though why would you rush into a building which is barely big enough for the fireteam, of course the predator should die. but you cant expect him to have to go in. sure trap outside. and if they dont come out? shoot plasma in or whatever i dunno. i get both sides are annoying. it hasnt been a huge issue for me though. FT havent really been abusing camping and i havent really been abusing roof slam so its a meh for me.

both options arent good. Roof slam is cheap, but wait 15 minutes just to not make use of roof slam? If they are going to wait out the whole 15 minutes in a building like dicks you might as well slam em and get on with your life.

It’s a toss-up whether or not it’s an exploit, but would ask if any self respecting predator actually use roof slamming for a win and feel good about it? Similar to how I refused to use the berserker or combistick until the latest patch. Clearly people don’t understand the honor code of the predator lore and why they hunt.

right we would hope that fun for predator entails doing more than roof slamming a fireteam and claiming them lol. who are we kidding though people play to win. win makes ego feel goooood.

Oh no I know, but according to him all buildings are op lol. And this was just an example of gameplay in general since he says everything is useless and console players are all just trash XD
See those are some actually valid points. The third person can make it difficult inside a building that small but it also allows you to peek easily into doorways and pop shots into them. I think the most difficult building would be the skylight building in Backwater in the Northeast outpost because of all the shit inside of the building but it does make drive by’s just viable enough if you are fast enough and don’t stick around. It also can make it difficult for them to get clean lines of fire for all of them on you with all the instructions. However that one could prove difficult to fire into so it could prove a challenge nonetheless. Beyond that example I don’t know of really any other buildings that would provide a degree of defensive potential which would make this mechanic even excusable, not that you are suggesting it is. I personally rather enjoy running through as a scout and netting one or two of them, since it is so easy in the buildings with little room to evade, and tapping a guy or two then running out just to panic them lol.
ya i will also just run through buildings and do no damage for jokes. its a gamble though if i get stuck or not.
It does suck though because with the slam sometimes being as imprecise as it is, catching on shit sometimes despite your marker, you could do this entirely by accident and then also be rewarded for missing your slam and not having the presence of mind to cancel it in time and inadvertently benefit from this bs.
It can also break their composure as well. A good Fireteam isn’t as effective is they are under pressure especially if you maintain that pressure and are able to break their composure. I think that is massively underestimated. Many Fireteams I have found lose when they lose their cool and that is when the mistakes start happening.
ya it just takes one super quick opportunistic claim. once they are down to 3 you can only really lose if they are MLG or you seriously fuck up. the real effort goes into getting that 1 claim cleanly. FT game plan kind of goes out the window after that.
Hell sometimes not even that. I played a match the other day with a real good Fireteam that was pretty on top of me, coordinated, stuck together and all that good stuff. Downed a couple but they on him before I could claim. But eventually they just ran out of medkits and stuff because I kept poking and prodding enough and then all it took was one small mistake and I took them out. Hell sometimes even getting the shit shot out of you and near dead and running off then double backing for a smash is enough to catch them off guard, not expecting you to keep up the aggression when you are so wounded and boom, that’s all she wrote.
I don’t know. I played a ton of Starcraft 2 for a long time and being quick and shit is all well and good but being smart is better. And people don’t like to play stuff like this smart a lot.
Oh I’ve watched your gameplay. You would get destroyed by a competent FT on PC. Not admittedly just down to your skill level as hitting arrows with a pad is much harder but yeah you would get lit up. Have fun killing the random FTs though :)
Hell no u tryna just leap on ppl n catch em ur supposed to catch one or two of them with it n b able to kill them after that
So basically you are just saying that my skill is entirely irrelevant because console vs PC huh? PC is easier yes but it’s by no mean insurmountable. And so you are just saying that of the countless matches I have played as Predator and won not one of them was against a competent team huh? Sounds like you just have an inert aversion to any claims with any sort of basis lol
That’s basically what he’s saying. lol
I can track a predator who leaps over me with the minigun. There’s nobody on PS4 that can do that unless they have that keyboard and mouse adapter.
Wonderful example of a braindead team sitting there trying to revive over and over while you run in between all of them and hit them with a stick and they just stand there like the predator doesn’t exist in the game if they’re not looking at it. You’re so good congratz. Amazing footage. You could’ve beat on all of them with a warclub at that point and it wouldn’t matter.
These are the kind of idiots that just stand inside buildings to begin with. Checks out.

Goodness you do need stuff explaining. Okey dokey.
I’m saying that your skill would be a factor in how those games would go but I am throwing you a bone and saying it wouldn’t be entirely your fault due to the aiming limitations of the pad.
I’m sure you have played a competent team in your eyes. But you play with a pad and so the level of competency will be higher for you than someone using kb/mouse.
If you have any videos of these competent games then please do upload them.
What a ludicrous claim lol. Proving exactly that you have no actual points to make except everyone else is wrong
Oh I know they weren’t bright lol. But according to everyone even dumbies can just camp and auto win.
