It’s like a whole new game compared to when it released. Unlike illfonic, they have actually managed to implement changes directly requested by the community.
Sigh....
Meanwhile, illfonic: wtf does that mean

He’s not
Reality is adding variations to gameplay is pointless unless gameplay itself is fixed first
There are way too many wrong issues with pred that need to be addressed first
To name a few examples
Predator leap indicator is not effective, often times the indicator does not point to the exact location of landing. Map geometry gets in the way allowing vertical leaps, interrupted leaps, and sometimes even without any geometry in the way, you leap past the indicator point. It is a poorly implemented mechanic from another game. In that game (AVP 2010) it worked perfectly.
The myriad of bugs related to consecutive inputs which render you in a no-sprint/no-interact state which is game breaking, regardless if we know the workaround
Overall balance is around the shittiest players in the game, instead of the average skill, rendering mid/high level gameplay outcomes more of a luck game. Overall damage is too high on both sides for certain weapons.
Almost all predator weapons have latency which affects the player experience negatively.
Almost all crosshairs are wrong, they are offset, while the actual shot isn’t for fireteam, or viceversa, they are centered, but the shot is offset for predator
The stealth element of the game, which was supposed to be a core mechanic of the game, is basically rendered non-existent because of the numerous voice lines, purring and stomping from all players, but specially predator

You put what I was thinking into writing.
We need system improvements, not new characters.
Otherwise, I don’t think the game experience will change much even if a new Predator is added.
You’re not wrong, but we can both be correct independently.
My point was regardless of how much they improve the predator gameplay, there just isn’t enough variation in how the fireteam and predator interact to really keep players engaged, besides those of us with an extreme affection for the predator franchise.

You could actually run missions in near complete stealth… until Tracker was added. I think Tracker should have reduced target isolation cooldown time. Guaranteed spots is just ridiculous.
Spotter with either Recon w/Cold blooded or OWLF Operative was effectively invisible to thermal and nearly silent while crouching. My team had some good times playing full stealth squads. Sometimes we would win without doing any damage to the predator.
Of course, it’s hard to be completely visually stealthy if a PC player has their graphics and draw distance set to low with shadows turned off. 😒

Against average predator players I guess, problem with your views in the game are the same as Illfonic’s, they are all based on the gameplay experience of the average playerbase, not people that are actually are good at it. I appreciate you taking time to measure the game stats but you dont know how things work on this game in practice in a higher level since you never played like that. And a lot of the stats on your website were proven to be wrong by people that broke the game files and saw the values of every single stats on the game.
Potato preds. I can do that playing alone cus most predator players cant even fireteam without help and all they do is use wristblades.
I have videos playing with max all cinematic settings and still spotting other players from across the maps cus you know I have eyes and ears, and the cloak is shit at night + game has ingame wallhack mechanic called spotting, it runs at 30 fps though with those settings. Again its not a platform issue, its a skill issue, as there are ps players that can also do the same.

but… FT is not supposed to be stealthy… predator should… and it isn’t in any way or form

This approach wouldn’t be wrong, if the average player was also of average skill.
The problem is the average player is basically a blindfolded toddler with grease on their fingers smashing buttons like a r3tard

I’d rather be orientated the maximum potential resource value than the bare minimum coverage

Yes, you are partially right, but it’s not to cover his big ears. It’s because his ears are so big that when he came out of his prostituta madre, it was so painful that the puta took a shit at the same time and it smeared on his face. His madre said “o dios mio!” and saw it as a sign from God himself.
From that point forward, she promised that when Samantha was old enough to grow facial hair, she would never allow him to shave it. She waited until Samantha was a teenager, looking forward to see him sprout his first facial pube and please the Lord, but unfortunately Samantha was very feminine growing up and had too high levels of estrogen (this is also why he injects tesosterone and lifts weights to overcome the insecurity of his natural feminitity).
When she had to leave for Spain to go work as a prostituta to send money back home, she made Samantha’s father promise that he would not allow Samantha to shave once the hair began to grow. This finally happened when Samantha turned 22 years of age, and his father said “shave and we will kick you out of the house.” This is why Samantha hoped to cheat and become the top player in PHG, so that he could make enough money streaming to move out of his ghetto parents’ apartment, but unfortunately for him he is a natural failure at life, so he of course failed at this too.
This is also why Rombak tells him that he is kaka. It is a reference that he knows will anger Samantha because of his kaka face at birth. His femininity growing up is also why I refer to him as Samantha. So I hope you understand why everything is as it is now.
You gotta make up your mind bro
You said only you have the intelligence and knowledge to be able to hack the game, then go and say people are using chams and aimbot which you know is not something an amateur and someone without coding experience would be able to do.
So what is it? Are you the only PHG hacker or samhain is an experienced software developer that coded an aimbot and walhack?
lol never.
Illfonic is a shovelware company. They pickup whatever IP they have easy access to that’s cheap, so they break even and then move onto the next.
It was never going to be actively supported longer than 2 years. Next they drop ghostbusters for whatever else is floating around untouched for a minute. Especially since their dumb independent fortnite gameshow pet project failed.
They’re basically the Uwe Boll of videogame contractors.
Investors back anything with a franchise logo on it because they don’t actually understand why people enjoy things, they just look at numbers. Might as well be a cost cutting production loophole.
DBD is carried by clinging to random IP’s because they won’t actually rework the core game. Which is literally 2 button freeze tag.
It’s the only asym still barely standing and everytime another random low budget asyim comes out of the woodwork like Evil Dead it threatens that companies whole livelyhood.
If a triple A company ever touches this cursed asymmetrical genre again after Evolve its over.

I can see why that was your take away from asymmetrical games and your idea as it fits you perfectly but some ppl just like the hunt and be hunted aspect.
