True that shit was a 3d arena fighter honestly
The elephant in the room. How exploits have ruined this game
People actually thought alien was the weakest class because pred had the better pounce and obviously all the one shot kills, but alien had the highest skill ceiling if you could jump to any wall in the middle of the fight and end up behind people & aliens wall tail was death.
Marines that never missed their grenades and could spin around and parry were good too but they had a lot of noobtrap weapons.
That game had a really high skill ceiling compared to the games we get now.
Most people were just bad at that game and never realized you could cancel a heavy attack.
Even if it was bare bones it felt like tracking, imagine being able to see broken branches and permanent footprints in the ground (not thermal, regular vision)
For boring yes. But making the game easy on Pred? No you can objectify that statement and thatās just wrong
But why does it need to be RNG? Ignoring accidental balance issues thatāll make it lick based, it doesnāt do anything besides make it appear in a slightly new location. Making it player dependent instead of rng would add a lot more dynamic content that is actively engaged with. Us you itās easier to avoid balance issues. Making one path FT sided and another path Predator sided is a lot easier than making two paths equally strong.
Avp 2010 was also hacked into oblivion online. There are still active players on steam
Because it basically makes revives impossible without Field Medic if the predator knows what theyāre doing.
Itās not like I hate the bow. I use the bow probably 75% of the time. It just clearly out classes the other weapons, and it just makes playing anybody but premades a little cheesy.
When I play Fireteam, Iām not always squaded up. Usually, itās just me and one other player, but if I solo queue and I have to deal with a predator that just takes people out with the bow, you canāt do much but roll your eyes, watch every one die, and hope that you actually get randomly paired with players that have a high enough skill level to not go down in the first place.
Basically, if base revive times were less than 4 seconds, I wouldnāt really care so much about the current DPS of the bow. It would still be a little high, but not nearly as bad as it is now.
Also, I donāt like the netgun any less.
Field Medic and the Sawz50 are too strong as well in my opinion.
The Fireteam just needs to shot the Predator and make him go second wind before he can finish the guy that is down with the bow. 3 good fireteam players are more than enough to do that to the Predator as fast as the medic can revive. Field Medic is never necessary.
I played a game earlier and there were two dante field medics, I lost count of how many full plasma charges I hit them with , you just couldnāt drop them . Even a few spear throws into the mix . Spotting all your traps , complete horse shit
more than 30m away they literally canāt they donāt have the DPS unless were talking bout scouts here
i know we like to talk about how memey FT damage is but there damage is only crazy at less than 20m in terms of how fast they dish out dmg at above 30m it slows almost rto a reasonable degree even if all 3 FT members had a SAWZ the downed guy would die before the predator is in 2nd wind assuming to get that guy downed it didnāt take 50% of his hp
an oldie but a goodie
and i believe the SAWZ does like 252 dmg per shot hunter has 1250 hp 10% bullet reduction 25% armor at low hp possibly an additional 20% with impen yeah the downed guy is just dead at above 30m w/o field medic

If the guy that is down is 30m away from the others than the field medic wonāt reach him in time anyway. Neither medic or the FT might save him in time.
no in this iām assuming the FM isnāt 30m away itās literally in camp for the ft the predator is however 30m away but if you have a FM he is going to get up and everything is fine

If we are talking about a competitive team of the same skilled players, FM is never necessary. You can take enough supplies even without support.
After Illfonic added this spec in the game, it totally broke the balance. We never take him in privates, cause it makes much easier to play as ft, and IMHO using him is not fair.
Before adding specs, team had to use their brains more often, for now, you can just take 2 FM and you gonna do fine, even if you gonna make some serious mistakes.

iām just talking about a setting where a group of players individually (not a premade) knows how to build good classes
though you are right in a high skill setting FM is just straight up cheating cause it prevents the predator from ever swinging the pendulum of the match to be in his favor
Does field medic stack?
no the healing from FM doesnāt itās just the sub 1 second revive speed is absurdly oppresive when multiple people can do it

No offense but I used with randoms more than my friends and I have to deal with the bow all the time, so my advice is let them die if they canāt dodge duck or run to cover let them die a trap can be laid if the pred claims or just rush mission
Well thatās because youāre a step above masochist but thatās beside the point. At the moment the disc is strong but suffers from so many issues to the point where it should just be indestructible.
I know that currently itās what the devs wanted but that doesnāt mean they canāt be wrong on the issue, why is it that it can be destroyed in the first place when all the other weapons canāt?
Itās inconsistent, you want arrows to be destroyable and thatās fine but I say either make them all destructible or none of them and if they are able to be destroyed then make them stronger to negate the FT from destroying all your equipment and being screwed the whole match while they get to reinforce and regain everything.

A time before anti-cheat was affordable lol. They also dropped a balance patch that never hit console where preds could be knocked down in melee and a nerf to walltailing.
Console AvP was fine as is really.
No problem. This is just a forum.
Of course. Occasionally this actually works, butā¦
- Every time one player dies, Iām in more danger of being the focus of the predatorās attention.
- You canāt lay traps for the bow, the downed player is killed and the predator loses very little health for it.
- Some missions take too long to do alone, and 1v1 against non potato predators or predators that just use the plasma caster is usually impossible.
