I think it would be pretty rad if we got some City Maps or A new map TBH I was playing Predator: Concrete Jungle the other day and was thinking how awesome it would be to do that type of hunting in this game with the obviously updated graphics and such but it would really make for some new interesting matchups and level design like maybe adding or creating thick powerlines you can predkor across more lateral surfaces for the Predator to leap onto, maybe breakable rooves or walls to make things more interesting explodable cars ECT. Alot of untapped potential in this game yet…also maybe some Xenomorph AI enemies in an AVP throwback map?
So do you think we will ever get City Maps?

We can only hope

@KayneLucard Most likely yes. Everybody wants it so it only makes sense for the devs to do it

I think we will get at least 1 city map

I don’t think so. A lot of the balancing factors are removed for a city map. Mud everywhere, LoS blocking foliage between bases, branches on predkour, etc. Not to mention that this game is trying to evoke the first movie, and it does the best job that it can, considering we aren’t in the movie.
And no Xenomorphs. Maybe as cosmetics for the pred, but nothing beyond that. Let this be the first real standalone Predator game.

Nope.
I want them, but they are struggling with a jungle setting.
Would prefer to see a polished product before they started taking on other ventures.
It took them how long to make this game? How long do you really think it will take them to turn this game upside down and put it in a city?
Again, without me sounding overly pessimistic… just no lol

If by city map you mean post apocalyptic with smoke thick enough to function as fog of war
And never inside any buildings ever because you will be bodyblocked in a doorway stabbed to death.

I’m a big fan of eventually getting city maps, definitely more than one.
- Subway, there’s miles of tunnels under your feet and one hell of a hunting ground, subway junctions, sewer drains, repair tunnels connecting it all together. Dark map, with flashlights and night vision goggles. Small map but spread out to fill a medium space, there’s lots of closed off areas.
- The Stadium, this map might have the most potential for different modes, everything from the fields to the locker rooms. The steam tunnels and the seats. Medium to large map that is alternatively tight passages and an open middle. Some Mythic’s could be used as decor in the box seats.
- Downtown, probably the hardest as the vertical building space will need to be traverse able by FT. Elevator shafts can be used to zip up or down between floors, no working elevators required. I like your idea of power line traversal.

The community is pretty split about adding Aliens, but I think they would be a good addition. I want to get my Pred’s blooded at some point and just see them as another type of thing the Pred’s Hunt.
If the devs decide not to add them, or the license they have doesn’t allow their use. I hope we do get other Alien life forms to hunt, both as Pred’s and FT.
A city map like Pred 2 unlikely. But a city in 2025 that has been laid into by either the Military to rid the Predators or the Predators have laid into the city themselves and now the city lies in ruins yes. Would not require much change in predkor or even the mud up part of ft. The city is destroyed mostly, with some buildings standing but not fully with walls and or roofs missing. Small star gazer camps are set up all around the city.
The Predator can still use predkor with the downed buildings and other parts of the city all destroyed. Most likey not pigs running around but maybe something like it idk.
The ft will wont be able to camp inside a building cause its halfway or completely destroyed. There is mud everywhere from the ash and debris tht fell during the bombardment of the city. There will be craters and hiding holes.
That is the only feasible way in my opinion of haveing a city map that wont require a new predkor system.
Picture it now a Predator is climbing a non destroyed building and just gets laid waste too by the ft watching him climb the 5 story building. Lol
Now if the Predator is climbing a 2 story building that is destroyed so the path is that of it climbing the tree with quick hops, then has some pipes sticking out as like limbs of the tree and maybe some lose bricks that block shots but are destroyable like the limbs of the trees.

Its really the only viable way to do a city and not have to change core mechanics. I mean set fires and little debris piles to hide around and near as the Pred for that urban jungle comabat style.
Ps was going to say hobos as a food source like the pigs but thought that was too far lol
In my opinion
Yeah sorta
I don’t think it would be that hard to balance, some mechanics like muddling up would be harder to do, but there’s still mud in buildings/cities. You just need to get creative, big planters, a ravine behind one set of buildings, or wheel barrels for property maintenance.
Windows might as well be solid walls to most thermal optics, they show as a flat or solid colour, the temperature of the glass is equalized. If anything a new vision mode might be required.

Lots of buildings have balconies, fire escapes, and decorative elements that could be used to mirror the Predcore system in the jungle. Add telephone poles and light poles to the mix for moving between buildings and I think you have equal traversal space.
Two or three 6/7 story buildings near the centre or edge, a city park, a couple of rows of small businesses and over pass or highway loop. Lots of dirt, and plenty of room.
No civilians, because the Hunting Grounds have been cleared, cars can act as the explosive barrels. Objective can be securing a crashed ship, finding a team that’s disappeared or repelling STGZ forces.
There’s so much that could be done on the maps themselves. OWLF could have buildings set up like STGZ does, NPC’s could be on your side and cost you points when they die or you kill them. They could be guards, lab rats, gov agents. Some could be Predator targets, some could be unarmed and cost the Pred points.
I don’t think we should if they end up doing interiors.
If something outside only can be interesting maybe
Taking this game inside close quarters is gonna a fucking nightmare.
Here’s my take on how to get a Predator 2 city map in game without changing any mechanics
FT are SWAT
AI are various gang bangers
Out of bounds areas blocked by police cars
Mudding up would be addressed by having various OWLF ice boxes which would be contained combat arenas as well as making it harder to detect by default because your in an urban warzone. Buildings and cars are on fire which provide cover from thermal imaging.
Fire hydrants would be busted creating puddles and geysers to fuck with cloaking
Lots of palm trees for predkour
Rooftops accessible to predator and FT alike for elevation
Inside the warehouses you have rafters/scaffolding to get above FT
El scorpion is ready!!
No limits!

They could modify the Preds leap. When in confined place, it could be half the length but in a more horizontal direction.
I do think enclosed spaces could be a bit of an issue but I also think it can be dealt with by adding things, maybe the Pred can have a quick escape out windows, dropping away from the threat and maneuvering.

indoor leaps gotta be addressed anyhow might as well do it with this in mind
Okay but then what would be cover for the Predator while on fire escapes and telephone lines and street lamps. The Predator would be a sitting duck on them. Only viable way would be a destroyed city
