Hey guys, I wanted to list out a couple things I think would improve the overall game experience and make gameplay more engaging overall. I won’t be addressing bugs because I expect those to be ironed out over launch and the next coming weeks, but instead I’m here to list things that would improve the games lifespan and quality to make sure this is a community that can thrive for more than a couple years.
Proposed core gameplay changes:
Make the Predator more powerful, to the point that in order to win cooperation is needed. It feels as though the predator can be killed too easily and has to constantly use hit and run tactics to win, I understand why this was implemented, but the predator needs more abilities/better balancing of damage output and intake in order to make him feel like the juggernaut he is.
-The predator is too easily killed and downed, although he can absolutely destroy a fire team that is playing recklessly he should easily have more health and/or be able to kill more swiftly.
Predator movement is still pretty clunky when not on trees. I think there should be the ability to grab ledges and prop up. The predator can leap 12 stories but when I need him to jump on a train he can’t do it lol.
- Make it where the predator can always see the footprints of the humans, too often games are played where the predator doesn’t even know where to go and this leads to fireteams completing missions without even encountering him.
There should be some more visual /audio indicators to let the predator know where the fireteam is. - Add stealth kills and animations for the predator. I think the predator should have the ability, when perfectly cloaked to grab an unsuspecting fireteam member that comes too close and instakill them. This is done in almost every predator game ever but is not done here for some odd reason. If you can sneak up to someone or stand still and a fireteam member walks up to you, they should be able to be punished. Stealthy players should benefit from being able to trap and kill soldiers and sneak up on them without them knowing.
-Create an add on where the plasma cannon can auto lock on the target without having to manually aim, this is done well in the AVP games. To balance it, increase the energy it takes and if the target is moving make the lock on feature slower.
-pls nerf parry spam lol
-Not sure how, but increase match length. I think the only time a timer should be implemented is when the chopper is inbound for the fire team, let the team and predator move at their own pace, it will allow for more engaging matches and let teams who finish their objective hunt the hunter/let them explore for Xp collectibles. If anything, release a game mode variant of this for people who enjoy longer matches.
Add many, many maps, the selection currently is kind of dull and it shouldn’t all be jungle maps. Use the IP in your own way, plenty of inspiration from concrete jungle(this would add a huge variety to gameplay) to pyramid from AVP. Hell create a space marine map for all I care, just get me out of the jungle!
Miscellaneous:
- Different modes please
- Make a 2 v 8 predator match or 3 v 12. That would be so engaging and chaotic I would absolutely love it.
-make an escort mission forcing the match pacing to slow down. Doesn’t have to be human, make it a car or something, but make it to where the predator has multiple chances to set up traps and attack.
-add more hogs onto map so predator can heal without kit more.
-Add classic predator designs from
Movies and games. I would kill for a Wolf Skin!
Add more weapons for both players and predator, I think this would increase variety enough to allow different playstyles.( set a trapper class)
Overall I think adding more modes, fixes, and increasing the overall quality of the game will only extend the game so much. I would love for this to be a love letter to the franchise already more than it is, I think this product is good, but I think it can be GREAT. Look at communities like DBD that have been ongoing for years because of new content, I loved what you guys did with Friday the 13th, but the game needs to have more than one mode, please! Been waiting for years for a predator game and I know this is the team to do it! Any suggestions or comments please reply with guys, let’s make it great!
