Should be able to "shoot" while you're down....

There is absolutely no excuse for not being able to shoot while you’re knocked down waiting to be revived. Why? because if games like L4D2 can do this and that came out in 2009… why can’t PHG do it? a game that came out in 2020 and re-released again in 2024 for PS5, etc.

No excuse at all; it’s rather dumb not being able to shoot while down.

Devs need to bring in this feature.

Thoughts?

fireteam is already overpowered as is. this idea is dumb

When i say “shoot” i mean with pistol only.

What is OP? only the the pred is, the fireteam marines are nerfed in the latest patch.
And removing the DLC as well… ridiculous that

Also How is it not dumb that the downed person has a gun in their hands and can’t shoot when downed? c’mon fella.

pistol is overpowered (as dumb as it may sound, its true). fireteam in general is overpowered even without the DLCs. predator is extremely hard to play now. dunno what your on but you need to get off of it

Not sure what game you’re playing pal.

Anyway I’ll wait for other replies see what they say.

Heck no. Pistols are like the 2nd best weapons in the game. You can literally kill a predator alone with a pistol faster than a assault rifle can in this game.

Then change the pistol?

The fact remains: when your knocked down? You shouldn’t be 100% useless and can only crawl or shout; the feature to shoot while down is in a lot of games; to say it’s dumb, it’s actually ridiculous, seeing as the character is holding a gun while he’s down, but somehow it doesn’t work??

Well we’re holding back we ain’t touching this game till they fix a lot of stuff… Patch 3.0.2 is even worst.

I’m trying to start a discussion here about this feature and see what others say and I see the children are out tonight or immature men. Yeah, I’m done here.

So unprofessional

if you lookin for help, this ain’t the place for you. this forum belongs to the trolls.

Well, either you have something productive to say? or don’t bother, but keep posting memes/pictures; it isn’t difficult, you know.

You say it’s dumb; you don’t like it? Okay, pal, move on. I’ll see what others say about it.

Illfonic isn’t going to “change” the pistols damage. They don’t understand the problem no matter how much feedback there is with video evidence. That’s why they just only touch on ammo and recoil.

If you feel useless while down, fireteam already has 4 combo things to prevent that. Sludge blood, Crawl faster, Dex, and self revive. You don’t need to shoot against the underdog, more than u have too.

Actually 5 if someone is a medic class.

Fireteam is already OP & its hard as fuck to confirm a Down on just one good player in a Premade as is. Asking to be able to shoot the Pred with a Pistol, the 2nd most powerful weapon in the game behind the SAWZ, is dumb as fuck and would only make this game even worse. Next question.

I see where you are coming from. There are circumstances under which I can imagine it may work.

  1. make aiming extremely difficult, like invert both axis and add some wobble.
  2. nerf pistols, especially the 1911.

Any game that I know that has this mechanic makes the feature almost useless - as it should be, you’re deadly wounded and about to bleed out. Your action hero days are over.

Thank you for the reply. I’m only curious where we stand in this game, as the patch at the moment is terribly broken.

But thanks’ for your input.

Exactly, if it was a feature? the pistol would obviously have to change.

the reason behind it is curretnly 2 of the three pistols are the best side arms you can take in teh entire game due to their DPS output the only pistol that’s “Balanced” properly is the 2xl (Revolver) but there is a reason no one takes it cause it’s trash

The real reason why this wouldn’t be okay is in a situation where a FT is downed That fireteam assuming they have the 2nd pistol (1011-12) They would immediatly be able to take 80% of the preds hp away from emptying the clip on the predator when he tries to get close to them which means the predator cannot do anything about a downed fireteam until he sees that ft go through a relod animation or he has to just pincushion the corpse with arrows to secure kills

Cause keep in mind in this situation assuming there are like 1 or two ft around who are also shooting the pred suddenly downing a FT is not even an advantagous situation for the predator

Think about that A predator emptied the hp bar of a fireteam member they are still at a disadvantage beause of what you would be suggesting

You do not want this to happen it’s obvious why this is a bad idea
