The Game State

#8

Not even 24 hours after the drop and I’m already bored out of my mind again. And especially at how easily either some Fireteam members die or how quickly the vast majority of Predators take a knee. And every little design flaw and poor decision illfonic has made with the game only compounds the matter. This game is a sack of dog shit wrapped up in a pretty bow.

And yes, the new map is absolutely stupid with the current formula. I’m going to keep saying it until I vomit, but I’d like them to extend match times to at least 25 minutes and give each class more health. Give everyone three stims/medkits (before perks) and rework all the missions that can be cleared within five minutes. Make all of the mission strings longer and possibly add a fourth.

The Predator also needs to be given a task before trying to fist the Fireteam. I’d say it could simply be grabbing all the non-standardized gear from a stargazer locker guarded by some elite AI—the ones you can stealth kill. I’d even go so far as to say target isolation would designate this as the objective and completely ignore the Fireteam, until you retrieve said gear.

Basically, the goal is to, you know, draw these matches out by force. The developers claim they don’t like seeing us decimate (or get decimated by) Predators that drop down on us before the first objective is even triggered. Prove it. Change the formula. Because right now, this game is as stale as Madden NFL and I didn’t think that was even possible.

I’m not even going to go on a tangent about the abhorrent bugs. I’ve had a few on Predator, but this patch opened up a whole lot of them for Fireteam that makes some matches just unplayable.

At the very least, add a fucking 2v6 so that we can take our minds off some of the nonsense in this ridiculous mess of a game.

I think it’s very telling they decided not to pair this update with a livestream. If I were in their community team and they told me to my answer would be “fucking why? Can’t talk about anything upcoming and what dropped is pretty self promoting and explanatory”

What I find hilarious is that a dlc map and character drop has brought in more bugs in under two days than I’ve had since I got on the game back in April. And I’ve been playing nothing but this wretched pile of gorilla feces.

Benchmark illfonic update

A Predator vs Predator mod would be cool.

Weevo was having a hard time the other day and I can see why after experiencing the bugs I had last night.

At one point my parry and stim animations fused together and canceled out my heal. I literally parried with my stim out and it ended up getting me downed, because I was locked in the animation length of both combined actions.

Then, another time, r1 and r2 just stopped working completely. I tried swapping weapons and various other things. I had to be physically downed to fix it.

I bet blind fruit bats could produce better content and updates than illfonic at this point. Guys. It’s real simple. You take that money you’re making and hire a crap load of dev team members and then… maybe you won’t make shitty games. It sure won’t do anything to help your lack of capitalistic vision though.

I’ve already suggested this. They won’t do it. Ritual combat. No mask. No shitty gear. Just perks, plasma and gauntlets. Maybe some weapons of choice.

There is more transparency at the CIA than there is at illfonic , let that sink in .

We are closer to knowing who killed JFK than we are at getting anything from these guys

I’d actually like less transparency from the CIA now, thanks. I don’t want to know your fucking life’s story. Just do your job and shut up.

#18

I’m sorry but 25 min is to long. It’s a survival game. If played right pred will have a hard time

#19

That should be the motto for the gaming industry

#20

I dunno. It depends. Waiting ten minutes on average for a three minute match is kind of just ass. They should at LEAST bump it up to 20 minutes, if they do a rework of match structure.

#21

Or any industry.

That 3 minute match thing is just a skill marker. It’s really always been sorta up to the Predator to determine the match length. Wanna rush and wipe, you can until you come across a good FT that deletes you for trying. Playing a good chaser FT? On the pred to push back and survive.

TTK is too fast right now across the board but it’s still playable

#23

The matches are 2min now. Turn your cross play on

#24

Give us an all Predator free for all mode

My cross play has been on. Two minute matches are still uncommon, but the average match length seems to be three to five, at best. Which is ridiculous for everyone involved. It’s not up to us as players to adjust how these matches play out. That’s almost entirely on illfonic.

#26

its good as it is multiple games = more practice.

#27

The current formula is dogshit. It needs an overhaul.
