I’m no game developer by any stretch, but I was casually pulling a spine out (as you do, Preds are such romantics) and a rush of thought went over me for an “Endless” sort of mode.
The Pred player is dropped into a random map alongside 4 FT members as per.
However, there’s no timer and no reinforcements (at least not in the traditional sense the game has adopted thus far)
Instead each FT member has only a single life, with the trade off for the allowance of being incapacitated more additional times.
Upon a FT member’s death they are given a results screen and are welcomed back to the main menu. The additional survivors continue to fight on and the matchmaking system soon drops another FT unit(s) in to fill in the ranks.
Players can keep joining until the Predator is successfully defeated.
The more previous FT members the Pred has killed, the more rewards the active team gets when they defeat him.
Would include a leaderboard for the Pred featuring the amount of time survived/FT members killed, alongside the FT member’s name who ultimately killed that Predator
A “Claims” system for the Predator could allow him a supply drop once a certain threshold of trophies has amassed, full claims being of course worth more
I feel there’s many things that could be exploited to some extent in this mode if overlooked, however I feel it would also eliminate to some degree Pred wait queues and both improve the general skill level of Predator and FT players whilst being pretty intense 😁
