Oh man dont even get started on the unbalanced progression. As the fireteam gets better weapons, attachments, and perks that completely counter the Predators damage buffs and traps, the Predator ends up with a damn war club that cant even down a person in 4 swings that have connected. I’ve seen real humans get knocked out with one swing from a bat but you’re telling me a 7 foot cock dieseled alien that is specialized in killing cant down a player in at least 2. Every movement the Predator makes sounds like a morbidly obese american getting off their grandmas 15 year old plastic wrapped love seat. Just please fix these glaring issues
What the f%#& are you doing? Seriously asking here. (Real Talk Thread)

while the post is aggressive in nature, i do agree with a lot of the points made here. i don’t think that the devs don’t care about the game (because if they truly didn’t they wouldn’t really look into ANY issues whatsoever) i do also want to bring up the topic of the respawn system, it’s far too fast to get the whole team back compared to the travel time of the predator. there’s absolutely no way you can make it there to contest when you finally realize what’s gone down. But aside from that i definitely agree. Devs, aside from how aggressive this post is written it’s actually made quite a few good points, please do listen to it

Honestly, devs, here’s an idea. A genuine idea that I truly believe you should try.
Play the game.
Play on a fresh account, nothing unlocked, by yourselves in public matchmaking, for a whole day. At least 30 rounds on no preference que. upgrade as you need to and customize your loadout as you level up.
You will see the issues so many of us are talking about and you will understand.

I do not find these theses a disadvantage. Another post with a request to improve the predator. Plays fireteam instead.
Copy and paste this in the feedback section, I really love your point about the 3 different predator classes having different sounds when the move around it should be that way

@op You know, if this was the first day the public had access to the game then yeah, it would be a bit of a rant. BUT, most of the points you make were widely pointed out to the devs over the course of the free weekend. Not only that, but a number of the solutions you offer were pointed out then as well.
While I’m will to give them a bit of give because I don’t know how complicated the underlying changes are, but they could have at least addressed the fact that they are aware of the need for more changes. A simple statement of goals for their next patch and long term current balance changes would have headed off a lot of these kind of posts.
At this point we can only hope they read and address these concerns very soon.

Ok hoss it’s a game about a fucking alien and you’re worried about the gun jamming lol
agree. PUSH
You do realize there was a balance patch on release that changed the game from the Beta trial right?
Are you suggesting that after balance changes developers should only take 1 or 2 days to evaluate the effects the changes have on the game?
I have never seen any multiplayer game devs work like that from starcraft 2 to warhammer 2 etc etc.
The spotting needs to be removed. The predator is already so loud and visible its absolutely ridiculous and not fun to play as. I just waited ten minutes to play a match as the Predator only to be constantly spotted because there’s no stealthy approach while you’re THUMPING around the jungle like an elephant.

Hilarious when you realize that stat means nothing when the majority of the wins from pred was the fact that everyone was so new and had no real perks available. XD I’ve stated in many of my comments some of the issues and I don’t wanna keep repeating myself. OH! One thing no one in this thread has said is… well you as a human take little to no fall damage… like wtf AND you know that neat sprint mechanic that is tied to your stam? Ye just jump and you won’t lose stam, it’s also the same speed so :) Happy hunting fire team… you’ve got a cuddly predator out there that’s oh so willing to lose a 1v1 melee or get spotted into a sniper shot… watch out 1-2 of those in the head and the entire game is over :) Best just stick to zerker, combi, netgun, bear traps, fearless (turns out zerker does increased melee without it even but does even more with it) Read the bio for zerker :), impenetrable or down range cause well all in or better plasma shots… and finally to wrap it up large pouch cause well boars are unreliable. Guess what isn’t though? The 4-5 medkits/ammo crates around each camp. AND THEY DON’T REQUIRE UNLOCKING or anything, hell they don’t run away or glitch through the map either :) oh you silly piggies lmfao…
On a final note before I pass tf out… the real winning strat is… press v, spam x… pray 1 idiot didn’t muddy up immediately… run to squad with 2-3 leaps into a look into the branches, don’t jump onto the stump of the tree… it’snot worth it, takes too long. Spam jump across the trees… running on branches is slower. Okay, you think you’re close to the team now huh? Hopefully you turned off your v cause it’s useless as you travel towards them. Now you have enough energy to cloak and chill somewhere to watch them shuffle in… see them huggin each other’s dicks? Charge the plasma on the first or the last dude, your pick my guy. You knock 1? Charge it again, kill that fuck… k it’s a 1v3 now. OR jump down (don’t leap smash) into combi hits+throw to finish the down guy… no quiick claiming around these parts, partner shit is too long imo. So respawning will happen in like 40-50 seconds… sigh, they get to choose to hold their ground or push to objective… at this point they take you seriously and will be ready. Either the reinforcements come and that’s okay! You tracked them right? If you got lit up and couldn’t dodge all their bullets by disorienting yourself by leaping/looking up to jump to branches enough then you might’ve just lost the game my guy! You can’t afford to give them any breathing room cause they’ll actually gather more intel and be able to handle your strats better with practice as the game develops. The early stages of the game are by far the easiest imo for the pred. Anyways getting off topic now. Reinforcements cannot be stopped if they’re anywhere close by. It’s like 5-10 seconds after calling them and they’re full hp and ready to go… it’s so pathetic. Anyways you’ve set up bear traps while stealthily stomping around them with leaps right? Line of sight them, your camo doesn’t work unless you’re standing still for like 2 seconds lmao… place a few traps around the reinforcements. Either sit and wait with combi in order to down 1 or 2… OR risk it for a bit of a safer play. Try to post up and charge a plasma caster around the traps. :) At this rate you can either kill the 1-2 or risk the melee… with knife they can kill you with 5 stabs with the perks they’re given… so um ye try to avoid swinging directly “at them” cause cleave damage cannot be “parried” :) You’re welcome… but it’s so awkward and janky. You’ve almost got to abuse and break the game to win… which is um why. These are just some of the scenarios I’ve come across at level 64 with no x2 exp as only pred in this “open beta” we call a released game. XD And yes, I have played the fire team during the trial period… man that was insane. Seen so many content creators abuse the marines for the glory of “winning” putting on a fake smile and admitting that it feels so fucked. They have the balls to admit it’s screwy when a majority of the community believes so too. Is it some fps shooter’s pride on the line or what cause I cannot comprehend some of the mentalities surrounding these players who say the predator is op… it’s so crazy to imagine another point of view SO ENTIRELY OUT OF TOUCH. XD For real though. Gl hunting, I’m done attempting to give feedback and what not. Watch the vod for the developers, they say essentially nothing until the very ending… which was “bear with us, we appreciate all your feedback… we aren’t really responding but are listening!! :)” so ye…

This game is so broken its unplayable the marines just hunt you down nomatter what your tactic im guessing with a release this bad alot of people are just done allready and alot wont even give it a chance if they do anything in the future because the devs failed to do anything in these crucial moments i myself am teedering on that point right now this is without a doubt the worst game ive ever had the misfortune of buying and im even more pissed because its my favorite character.
Your greed as a company has made you so narrow minded i can only pray to the gods of justice that somehow the idea can be tinkered with and they could release a triple a quality predator game next time around (they meaning someone other then this company)

I just want my money back and they can stick this rubbish up their collective asses, as much as i want to rave how cool they did everything on the predator character everything else about this game is a let-down the fact its multiplayer only promises a demise in the coming days in this state, somebody stole somebodys hardwork and fantastic modeling of the predator and weasled it into a game with no soul to make a quick buck and pull out be done and i date any of the devs to pipe in and tell me im wrong
hope Illfonic see’s this bro
This. Was thinking about this earlier, try 30 matches like us regular folk and see what needs to be addressed.
oh yea bro, you’re completely right. that’s why this game even exists and was modelled after the first predator movie. oh, and the friday the 13th game made after the movie. what a stupid idea right.
you just played yourself. moron.
Wow, I didn’t think that I would see a post with which I could completely agree and not even make amendments … OH WATE! I can. I don’t like the idea of a ship. Why I do not like it, because it is an extra static object to which you constantly need to return, the problem with wild boars has been solved more than well. Very, very well written. I think the developers really should pay attention to this.
Actually he can shoot with one handed weapon and lose dmg every second
