Too bad Trees are a joke in the game and fighting a good FT at range is just asking for your air mask to be blown to bits š¤·š»āāļø

I donāt mind it too much as there are plenty of things you can do if they play the knife game. I do wonder if it could have a small nerf in some regards such as using up more stamina, each successful parry will inflict some damage to the FT. Something like that.
I just net slam them point blankā¦ canāt be letting these humans get cocky with their lil space knives
yup so there is not really good option witch inturn make the predator feel less overwhelling then he should feel
Yeah net is nice choice. Hopefully theyāre not using a macro to escape it instantly

Hey man Iāll admit it, sounds like a good time to me.
Plus I have yet to lose a one vs one.
Close calls but no winners.
So I donāt see the issue that probably others do.
On the other hand. Sadly as a FT, I suck at parrying.
My parrying skills are that of a pool noodle for a knife.
So Iāll stick on the Predator.
For the sake of the FT that regrettably gets me.
on PC it depends lolā¦ but itās kinda meh when u see someone just cut it off then u just gott spank em with 2 nets and plasma to the groin haha
haha I proudly say i suck butt as FT. Lore avatar canāt be caught playing humans >;)

no problem
Hereās the thing @Thescoutpredmain: if we got a truly authentic experience that emulated the first Predator Film perfectly, everyone would have ended up like Billy, showing he had the balls to stand up to the Predatorā¦ unsuccessfully. Or Mac where his Head popped like a Melon. Or Dillon, losing your Arm before being Skewered. Oh, or like Blaine where a single Plasma Caster Shot instantly killed him and blew his Chest apart.
Sure, us hardcore nuts would have loved it. But from a Gameplay perspective?? Fireteams wouldnāt stand a chance and the entire game would be a Predator Murder Simulator.
Yes, in a tangible sense the Parry feature makes absolutely no sense. But then again, Videogames in general donāt follow real life rules. Call of Duty has a regenerating Health Bar regardless of how many times youāre shot. Fortnite has insta-building Mechanics. Mortal Kombat 11 has those X-Ray Moves where your Anatomy is crushed to pieces repeatedly yet Characters still fight like nothing has happened.
Hunting Grounds is a Predator Videogame, and a good one at that. Fireteams needed something to combat the Predator so he doesnāt Melee Spam you. So here we have the Parry System. Could it be refined?? I think there should be more of a Penalty so Fireteams donāt abuse it (think a 10% Stamina Penalty for each miss as an example). Otherwise, everything seems fairly Balanced and will only improve (hopefully!!) with future Patches.
So in a āGamesā sensibility, we have 4 macho Men/Women who are tough as nails and can go toe to toe with a Yautja.

Sure if you treat it like an old school cod sure, if you think shoot shoot and spam stun lock is the only option to make it fair sorry but theres something wrong with you

@SammyToeJr Youāre missing everyoneās point. Itās a video game, a 1v4 game which requires both sides to be equally fun. Otherwise no one gets to play. I dont know how long youāve been playing this game but in the beginning when no one could consistently parry predators would just run up combistick everyone and claim and that was game over in 2 min, sound fun? No, now I dont know if youāve ever played fireteam at all but being meleeād to death in a combo slashes then quick claimed while youāre trying to shoot the predator and dying isnt a fun experience at all. Could they make it more realistic ie. Give fireteams a sword to parry reference āpredatorsā movie where the Asian dude blocked the predator wrist blades, sure. The parry mechanic makes the game interesting in the fact that you have to be good to consistently parry you might parry one then get killed trying to parry the rest. Its healthy for the game and adds depth, otherwise it would be like @Saikoro said a murder simulation cough launch berserker combistick. Also without parry itās like a cheap cod game with bad ai lol. You might not like it but itās a very necessary element to keep this game alive on the fireteam side (who is majority of the playerbase plays)

ok why stop there? the warclub attacks slow and you move slower with it but it deals the same Damage as the Wrist blades? how is that fair? the hand held plasma cast 35 Damage a shot no matter if you hit em in the head or not sound right too you? how about the smart disc gone after 60 rounds of an lmg also fair? how is that good for a gameplay stand point? these things are fine so is the parry to you ? even by the same logic of its form a Gameplay stand point. still doesnt add up.
I have to disagree that there is no option. Net was presented as an option and it is the best option in my opinion.
Net stops parry.
Net stops guns.
Net stops second wind.
Can you elaborate on why you disagree that it is an option?

Thatās a whole another conversation but the pistol buff was good it does 49 damage consistently with down range. I canāt remember war club values but Iām pretty sure they buffed the hell out of that too damage wise. Smart disc completely agree it shouldnāt be destroyable lore wise in predator 2 when they were hanging from the building it was in solid concrete. Realistically the disk should cut through practically everything in the game. I said in another post plasma caster should be able to blow holes in buildings so you can escape or getting better shots on campers. I agree pred is far from being perfect he has flaws I still have fun and My focus on the disk is to make it come back to me if you wanna check out some disc plays I make YouTube videos
And yeah net gun would solve alot of the parrying for you itās pretty good
yea i mean the disc is good as long as you dont get it stuck but all im saying it it should be abble to be broken with no way of getting it back.
i love the disc too im just listing things that dont fit the role of for the gameplay.
so im just saying if these problems are here and the devs want that then i argue then why not make shit more fun and go all the way ditch parry unless you do think gameplay in wtich case buff those items, im a big believer in its either all ok or none of it is. either go full gameplay or full movie half half shit makes games feel like a mess

Yeah I believe the fireteams fine they need to buff the disk though I agree because once its destroyed youāre screwed for the rest of the game and with reinforcements in this game thatās not fair at all to lose one weapon for the rest of the game and the fireteam get all gear full ammo back. And thereās no way to permanently destroy their weapons
