I have had many FT do something like this, but usually they mud one up and send them for the reinforce while the other two stay and distract me.
If the reinforce is successful, they are 4 strong again, even if I get the ones running the distraction.
If I happen to spot the one heading off to reinforce then things get more interesting.
Yeah at that point itās just being baited to a downed FT member. They either need to crawl out of the building or you treat it like theyāre bear trapped or the predās hovering the revive and leave them.
What a false equivalence. Fireteams canāt leap halfway across the map in three to four bounds. They also canāt cloak and stand still to be totally imperceptible or throw bear traps to protect themselves or any other number of things that the Predator is capable of to allow him to escape or break LOS. They have buildings, thatās it. It doesnāt take as long for then to heal but, unlike their weapons to the Predator, they can easily be double tapped as well. The trade off for faster healing and more heals is they they can be killed much more quickly. So what do you expect
I am well aware of the bait.
We had already used reinforcements.
I feel it is an exploit if the predator can down and finish the game without actually facing the fireteam directly.
I was also once not inside of the building that got slammed, but below said building (would have been 2 stories). My 2 fireteam members got downed inside the building and I was downed underneath the buildingā¦
This is an exploit and lik I said before, shouldnt be the deciding factor to the game.
Heavily damage fireteam and malfunction weapons to allow pred to charge? SURE!
ENDGAME hell noā¦
If you get caught healing as a Predator maybe you just got unlucky and got that stamina glitch but otherwise it was entirely your own sheer stupidly because it is so easy to disengage any Fireteam and be able to safely heal that itās not even an obstacle for anyone that has any idea what they are doing.
thatās not really an exploit tho lolā¦ itās like getting shredded by a 4 lmg stackā¦ should I call that an exploit?
Yeah I could totally see that then. I donāt know about the huge waves entirely myself unless for specific missions but even then I am hesitant because having tons of AI coming at you plus a Predator night be a bit much. Sometimes, albeit rarely, those AI laser the shit out of you. I had a match where two AI came up on me, first missed every shot and the second just fucking hosed me for half my health (Recon though so) and I about had a fucking fit XD
Itās like a single lmg clip from a single person in this asymmetrical can down a zerk or something. And the TTK for pred is two seconds if heās being focus fired. And zerkās arenāt even the oneās with the shorter overload times, āsuper op leap spam scoutā has a fraction of his hp. Gee I wonder why the power role can leap far away to heal & the FT has to play objectives.
Another false equivalence. So you are comparing standard gunfire to hitting through walls now huh? And you donāt see the difference do you?
exactly
I donāt know man, Iām a glass 1/2 full kinda guy, so I just try to focus on the good and what I can control kwim. The Predator is annoying cause there is a good movie hidden in there, but a kid doesnāt belong in a merciless alien hunting movie, but at least itās got some cool kills and whatnot. The game here I donāt really mind any lore they have created and look forward to the Arnold tapes, maybe more of Harrigan. This game to me, just my opinion, is a love letter to the 87 movie, but because itās considered cannon they still have to work with what has come before, hence stargazer. As for the mechanics of the game itās full of flaws, but I have so much joy playing it I overlook tons.
As someone who will employ the slam but kind of consider it my job to also create a good match the best I can, I wonāt spam slam on a building to kill a whole FT, itās just to do damage, make them use resources and flush them out. I have standards, low as they may be, they exist
But if against a fire team that have taken your health im 100% sure youād use the exploit lol.
Maybe, but if they have my health down they most likely arenāt in a room, as for slamming in open spaces thatās a whole other demon to deal with with high risk/reward. Iām also no pro player by any means and just an average Pred at best. So I donāt want to loose but I also donāt want to cheese. Iām not perfect but I try and keep it fun for opponents
At least your honest bro, many predators be like
ānaah not me im beast have you see my youtube vid, iād never do the slams or use target isolation dont need themā
lmfao, you get alot of them guys in here mate. Lol
Lol pardon my French, but cram it up your ass. Itās not an exploit, itās a built in purposeful feature. Like spotting, parry, revive, reinforcement, etc.
Oh for sure man, I donāt false advertise myself, Iāve got no issue admitting Iām still a baby pred unblooded, trying to learn though and not be too cheesy.
It is an exploit donut if not then even still ILLFONIC have some explaining to do with all the fire team mains out there because we thought we purchased an balanced game but OBVIOUSLY NOT!!!
āREFUNDSā LOL
The thing where you tap leap right after slam so you can move is an exploit. Slam doing damage through a roof isnāt. Plasma caster and gernade all have spherical splash damage too. Are they exploits? š
I have a compromise: if leap slam has to go, then FT has to part ways with either spot, parry, revive, or reinforcement.
Aināt this subject just beating a dead horse by now just move on and wait for the damn patch.
Itās like 7 days of slam meta to go and either they will rebalance it or its fair game move on people.
