If the timer runs out or the chopper leaves, the game should not end. The remaining FT members and Predator should be highlighted to each other for a final battle. I think it’s weird that the game just ends and goes to a cutscene while the Predator and at least one FT member are alive. Why not let us fight to the death to determine how the game really ends instead of immediately skipping to the cutscene?
The game shouldn't end until one side has either died or escaped

Highlight each other? Take away preds stealth?
I’m pretty sure ppl dont consider time running out a win anyway, that’s just a draw despite what the game says.
The highlight would only be active for a few seconds. It wouldn’t be a match-long thing. I want to have the timer reactivate so the last couple of players can’t just not fight it out, but I’m not sure for how long.
Haven’t you ever wondered what happens when someone can’t make it to the chopper on time or the timer runs out though? Do the remaining FT members just die or do they somehow escape the Predator? Does the Predator just leave after roaring at the chopper? By having them fight to the death, we’ll be able to know what happened to them after the game ended. Plus it could work as a little survival mode because you have to survive against the Predator with what remains of your loadout. How cool would it be to say that you got left behind and then killed the Predator in a 1v1?
i don’t consider time out a draw otherwise it rewards the FT for spending the whole game hunting the predator which isn’t their objective
time outs are a win for the predator the timer exists cause without it the FT carry more than enough healing/ammo/DPS to kill the predator 5 times over with some of these guns dishing out 1800dps in 4 seconds which is more than any predator has hp the timer is completely necessary otherwise the game becomes a standstill
how ever if extraction has come and gone and some dickhead decided not the xtract then fine have them fight the predator to the death by that point in the game most of the FT resources have dwindled and if they feel ballsy enough to try it then i’d be ok with it

Yeah, and like I said before, this whole “fight to the death” thing is based on how the Predator seems to win and what happens after the chopper leaves. Instead of just seeing him holding the skull and guessing how it happened, you get to do the actual killing yourself. Maybe we could even get more cutscenes depending on the weapon (Combi Stick could be similar to the lightning on the roof scene from Predator 2). If you happen to lose and have your bomb disarmed, then the FT would just do the whole securing the body thing like normal.
Not really no. If we go by the cutscene, then pred eventually kills them. I figure if its more than one, depending on the situation, 1 might get away.
Then might become a pred hunter like dutch and OWFL.
Honestly I’m indifferent about this. However to try and help this idea, I think 3 or 5 minutes would be good enough for this overtime encounter.
Unfortunately this is a simple shooter type game, other wise I could suggest some cool ideas to go with this, but I’m picturing a purely 1v1 scenario.
Big facts there had to be a time limit or something though so fireteams dont mudd up and hold the game hostage. I had a game where this guy went to a random spot in the map mudded up for 13 min straight and didnt move i caught him at one second left his mudd jusy luckily ran off on my target iso at 20 seconds left. Illfonic should do something about being idle with mudd for too long
Ah yes so either side could hold the game hostage until the other ragequits.

I was thinking the same thing.
What do the FT who exited do, must they stick around and wait/spectate? If they leave before the extended match is over, do they forfeit their rewards? Are they entitled to any of the extra bonus if the ones who staid behind kill and disarm the Predator?
What happens when the time runs out again, if the point is to “see what really happened?”
I guess my line of thinking is that there really is no need to find out what really happened because we already know what really happened.
The match ended and everyone went back to the menu screen.
I don’t mind the game ending at this point but I would like an different cutscene. Maybe show the remaining FT walking through the jungle and end with the predator stalking them through the trees (add a Pred roar or mimic one of them) or considering all the stargazer troops coming after you at the exfil you could have the remains FT captured and again the predator stalking them.

I have a great clip of someone’s body just dropping from the sky after they escaped and the rest of us killed and captured the predators body

Highlighted lmao. Any more suggestions to give the Fireteam more advantages?
The FT who escaped or died would be able to leave the game without any penalty. I’m not sure about if everyone should get the Predator kill bonus. Currently, if you escape and your teammates kill the Predator, you won’t get the bonus XP (unless they changed it). I think that’s a little BS because you damaged the Predator and helped get to that point, but you didn’t help secure the body. The ones who escaped could get a lower amount of XP since they didn’t secure the body but helped fight the Predator. When trying to leave, a message would appear saying that you’d keep all of the XP you’ve gained but you risk losing out on any additional XP.
When the time runs out again, there’d be a different cutscene (Broomers’s idea for a cutscene sounds good).
If you had read past the first post, you’d see that the highlight is only for a few seconds and not the entire game. The Predator has more than enough time to hide from the FT.

Not a great vid but here you go, I don’t know how to bookmark it so its about the 1:50 mark, I think the game just doesn’t know what to do he escaped the same second he was downed so I guess the chopper crew just threw him out

That is hilarious! And rightfully so there was only 3 of you in the final cut scene.
It is an extra bonus that he falls to the ground dead. Karma is only a bitch if you are. Just sayin.
LMAO the fkn flop sound he made too xD
Yes I’ve thought this since launch. I had a guy ditch his fireteam and left for the chopper while the others were fighting me at the reinforcements. I was able to claim the 3 and run to the chopper and take the selfish s.o.b. Right when he was at the ropes. Check out Novacaine116 on YouTube I have the video there. If that ever happened again and the chopper leaves or takes one fireteam I think we should still be able to play till either side is eliminated. Maybe once timer is out, eliminate all pigs, and health packs so it’s down to whatever gear they are carrying and hp they have. No giving away location for 2 minutes. Then give a delayed location ping for both sides after that till there is a winner. https://youtu.be/TkOxrBEbvTI
Reminds me on the guy in Predators (2010 movie), who’s parachute didn’t open.
