Yes patch should focus on more bugfixes and game stability. As balancing issues can be beast to fix. And folks never rush in melee when theres two support holding minigun waiting for you to rush in… it didn’t end well for preds.
So has any FT's won since 1.06?

Frame rate is what I am looking for in the next patch. I am on a beast of a PC. In 2k with everything on max im only getting 50-60 frames, but that dips when Pred is in your face swinging. I want all that to look smooth!

Well… I would say best predators try not to keep to the trees, you can be seen from miles while being on them.
As for rushing Berserks- Yeah I don’t get it either. Sure, I rush as him sometimes but only to harass them, not to kill them all (unless they seriously f up).
And for the win topic- yeah, I’ve won some games as FR. Didn’t notice any changes in win/lose ratio
Quick kills with zilch XP.
Sounds fun!
WAIT. So because YOU wasn’t able to wipe out whole FT - you think you can speak for all Predator players? The fk lol.
I usually win all my Scout Predator (lvl100) games 4-0 or 6/7-0 if thei reinforce. Don’t speak on behalf of Pred players lol
Yes, I experience being on a winning FT! Often ends up in being a shooting gallery for us. Just waiting for the Predator to line up so I can get the big prize.
Of course you may run into some bad team players. Some do not spot or communicate using the “wheel”, some do not talk (not necessary to win though, just an added bonus) and some just live in their own world running off making it easy for the Predator to get a kill.
Being on a team with decent experienced players will make it a quick run through.
I have a small amount of experiences with both a decent FT and being hunted by a skilled Predator able to take out the entire team.
They win almost everytime when I play as the Predator. I don’t think I’m very good.
I did that in the beta but always felt bad about it because it is sorta cheating in a sense in my mind.
After this patch, the win loss ratio goes to the predator!! The loss goes for the fireteam. Predator is now op especially the berserker with combi. Rushing and the parry doesn’t do it’s job anymore.

except you cant do that use the trees. doesnt work in this game … people shoot the shit out of you in the trees … seems sticking too the ground is a better choice. and this is from someone who doesnt zerg their way in. in the trees was being lit up like a christmas tree. so when i play again. it will be on the ground probably or possibly
Played maybe like 15-20 games as ft after the patch. Have lost maybe 2-3 games because of bad teammembers rushing and not sticking together. Just stick together as ft and its a easy win, even against zerker. Match doesnt last longer then 6m sadly as the missions are a joke and can just rush them.
Facts, Pred is not OP against 4 FTs team shooting the Pred, he can be against two depending on what they are packing. I can’t tell you how many 4-0 / 6-0 wins I’ve had from patch playing hunter and scout. But I’ve also had games where the FTs never presented an opening to claim a kill, or stress them much because they stuck together and wired up everything I could possibly exploit. I may have gotten 1 or 2 during the exfil phase due to the choas, but 2 escaped. It’s just sitting and watching what you are playing against and making well thought out attacks at the right times. Or, you could just bum rush zerker and melee mash.
Sitting and watching and thinking is great, but not entirely doable in this game when the chopper is called in five minutes or less 🙁
Yep, and even that is not guaranteed anymore as it was pre-patch. :D
I’ve won quite alot as FT, but mainly because me along with practically every random I’ve partnered with so far have delt with so many Zerks that they are becoming easier and easier to counter. That’s not to say they’re not still difficult and boring. Good Hunters and agility perked Scouts that know how to play Predator on the other hand, terrify me.
Win some lose some. Even with scout i have made full ft wipe… Just gotta use your brain and play smart…

Facts
The main thing I’m seeing is matches are just too short for predator to do anything against a good FT. 15-14 you spend finding them. Then 14 to about 11 you’re poking at them. Usually ranged. Probably no downs because they still have instant heals. At this point it’s spot spamming and you need to keep repositioning. Then maybe you press a little more and try to get some downs minutes 11-10 or 9. No claims because instant revive. Then chopper is called and that’s it. Maybe you get one or two at the chopper. That’s how all my games have been going. Very disheartening. And it’s basically out of the predator players hands. Oh, and I waited 15 minutes to do that.

Not really, the only excuse for a FT to lose is because they’re uncoordinated and lack teamwork and by that I mean you have people running off by themselves or going full Rambo on the AI causing the alarms to be tripped and making the fight that much tougher. I’ve played several matches as the FT lately to get more money and 9 times out 10 it’s always a berserker with combistick that likes to jump in and go wild only to be pumped full of lead and go to 2nd wind. The only times I’ve lost where when my teammates decided to just leave by themselves or when the predator’s attacking us and downs one of us they run away and hide to try and call in reinforcements.
Yeah I’ve only had a few matches where we ended up using 14 minutes just fighting It out while the FT completes the objectives and I kill 2-3 of them before they leave. Those matches I personally don’t mind since there’s a lot of give and take from both sides and can be very fun however most of the time it’s either I wipe them in two to three minutes or they complete the objectives in five minutes and leave with one or two casualties.
