What I think of the update

#1

So. 2.05. What do I think of it? Well…

Excavation: I love this map. Right down to the aesthetic and functionality. Yes it’s another jungle map but with those beach like areas and caves it breathes new life into this game. I’m yet to play it on hunt but I’ve heard about the missions for it and they sound pretty cool. Also that elevator is fun to play around in.

Clash: I have never had as much fun playing this game as I have when playing clash. It is extremely fun to play. It’s dumb, it’s stupid but it’s fun. It reminds me of Ewok hunt from battlefront 2. It’s silly, and very different but it’s so much fun. This new mode has brought variety to the game which is something that was definitely needed. I get it’s not for everyone and that’s a good thing because it attracts new players that might be into it which in turn only helps this game’s longevity. It’s not the mode I expected nor wanted first, but I’m loving it so far. It’s a bit rough at the moment with horrible frame drops on PS4 and matches can tend to be a bit short which makes the whole passing pred on system a bit redundant. With some tweaks this mode can be even better than it already is.

The Changes: I like them. I like that the classes have been reworked to give them more variety between each other which was needed. I can’t say if it’s perfect at the moment, but it’s definitely a step in the right direction.
Thank you for finally making cloak useful. It’s about
damn time lol.

The Shaders: Obviously I left the best to last. Jungle hunter and elder can now finally change their armour tints. This is very good. And also the new ones that have been added…the paroxysm shader…you know how to get me “excited” illfonic I’ll give you that ;)

Riding the ridiculous elevator shooting at people on the point while preds chase eachother around in background is probably the most fun thing to happen in this game ever in the most simple gamemode they could’ve imagined. I IMPLORE people to actually give it a shot. You get great moments in clash its just rough around the edges because FT is this game’s weakest aspect comparing it to other shooters.
More foundation = better.

Gauntlet should be cool especially if future maps match this quality, I wasn’t expecting much. More map interaction and player interactions plz thanks. Fuck AI entirely. Something pvp survivalmode-esque with a higher TTK would be great.

Map is great. I wish they would prioritize putting out new maps.

Clash right now is lackluster. The framework is good but who knows if it will reach it’s full potential.

If I wanted to shoot other humans there are sooooo many other games that do it better

Issue there is voicelines and map missions. And its a quality vs quantity situation. I want more Excavation-tier maps and never anything on the level of Backwater ever again.

What voiceline/mission issues are you referring to?

By prioritize I mean focusing their resources there not just try and churn out crappy maps

The map itself should be a character

Every map has its unique hunt missions with unique voicelines and sometimes assets that are only on that map. Backwater pigs, securing pred body etc (some are reused like the ones where you have to secure IDs). If illfonic just starts pumping out a bunch of rushed maps there’s no way they don’t half ass it

As for focusing resources, we don’t know how many people are actually developing maps. Just that there are several in the works. Maybe todays dev stream will shed some light or maybe none at all :|

No way man. I have one for every week. But maybe I will go back to my original and stick to it. Until I change it again!

Few more things I’d like to add.

Thank you Jebus for the extra loadouts!
We can finally go on top of the temple on overgrowth hallelujah!
Knife’s kinda op on clash. One hit and you’ve lost around a quarter of predator’s health. Hopefully it’s damage is toned down just a bit.
Predator’s holding their weapon on the loadout menu is hot 🔥
