Why i dont feel the predator is weak

#21

And Like I said in my post. We end matches in 3-4 minutes by splitting up and then slaughtering the poor predator. Literally trying to make it more challenging. I can see that trash cloak from so far away, and as soon as I hear them clicks all it takes is spamming the mark button and boom there you are. Popping masks off is a cakewalk and thanks to the trash melee tracking I can run past a berserker combi pred and knife him to death.

Predator is a joke. Fireteam is boring. You might have a good handle, but the majority dont and pretty soon they’re just gonna shut the game off and play something else. And I dont blame them.

you make a good point there. I guess I just wouldn’t want to have the pred over buffed so pred can be successful with little effort. On the other hand of the spectrum its fun to be challenged to me. it forces you to get creative with plan of attack and using gears like motion sensor and decoys. the pred is strongest when he uses his recourses and planned angles of attack while the marines are forced to sit on objectives.

same i can hear him directionally too with my headphones just seems how they made it to be … footsteps too. draw distance on pc i can see him hop from tree to tree run along the cliff edges the rocks. doesnt matter where he goes that cloak might as well be a mirror saying here i am shoot me please im just for target practice plus spot spamming where he goes lol. yep im bored of fireteam already i want to play pred but due to his inconsistencies i am not subjecting myself to that. yep i already have been doing just that like you said. shut the game off went to play aliens vs predator 2010 because it was on sale … lol. i like the game or love it but illfonic need to get a patch out asap. im glad they made a statement thats a plus so thanks for that illfonic

that wasnt a hack that was them landing head shots, also ok you showed me one game that doesnt mean you’ve been playing all night like that and i can say shit like that too i won a million bucks, do you belive me? well i said it so it must be ture. thats your logic,

im tellin yea the predator cant really use anything other the the Plasmacaster and the combistick and its not because its so good its because the other options are so bad

#28

look man i agree that the Combistick is a bit much i wanna play scout and use the bow and the hand held plasma caster but if you run that build you asking to lose and all im asking is make each option good if you know how to use it

#29

yeah a 25 second clip means nothing. and oh yeah they ended up murdering you and you had to detonate the bomb … nothing more needs to be said really. you are right the pred is potato but if he wants to pretend. well. or be in denial then sure. wait till he comes against a competent team who can see him. if he hasnt already

#30

all im saying is I had over half my hp ind it disappeared in .02 seconds… idk dude that’s kinda weird to me

#31

yea head shots are fuck up i tested it with my friend it deals like 4x more Dmg if you land one

#32

Im sorry but you must be lucky and are not going against any good fireteams. You fight my group i gurantee ill spot you as you come and lay into you with final sniper. Its just ridiculous how easy it is to kill predator. Im talking from a FT standpoint. I play ranged pred and melee if i can get it but they have to many heals to do any good plus the reinforcements are just dumb. It makes taking on the predator that much easier. Its a fun game and i love it but it needs some tweaks before it dies.

Check YouTube for the video “The Ultimate Predator Guide For Predator: Hunting Grounds” by user Killjoy Roger.

What do you guys think about these winning tactics as the Predator?

#34

while you may be right, i can’t say i’ve gone against any easy teams like you have.

Most predator abilities are easily dodged. most predator stalking is easily noticed, a decent fireteam will carry a revolver/sniper/grenade launcher, regardless of face tanking, range viability is piss-poor.

When you get spotted, you have to get out of the area for abit, in that time the objective can be rushed.

Evacuating is also easily done.

But the main issue relies the predator being utterly away from the fireteam, and then when you fire a shot its easily located and follow ups are dodged. if you tell me otherwise, i’d say you are going against bad fireteams.

The fireteam is spoon fed with too many advantageous scenarios. while i agree the predator learning curve is intense, there’s too much to compensate on what the fireteam is given as a guarantee.

I’m telling u man there to many 13 year olds playing this

#36

Predator scout class is not valid until that busted spotted feature is sorted what a shame

#37

Yeah I saw that great stuff he was even crouching on the roofs to not make noise

#38

Might as well argue that water isn’t wet at this point 🤣🤣🤣 his current two outta the four melee weapons are tash compared to the combi and wrist blades but I guess it’s balanced since the net gun/traps and plasma gun are the only good weapons sadly the pistol sucks and hunter class is not even a glass cannon that’s the scout class’s role. Lol I swear but whatever I guess

#39

Let’s all be honest with each other, everyone is going to have different experiences and we all need to learn from our experiences not just ask for the game to be made easy for either side, do I think that ft is stacked against pred? Yes but that doesn’t mean don’t try to find strategies to counteract the enemy. Even talk to other pred mains and see if they have any tips or strategies you haven’t used, As for the net against a a competent fireteam the net is indeed useless as all it takes is one swipe of a friendly ft knife to be freed.

I just got done playing and I killed 3 FT members and the last guy revived the whole team. I used all my health and hogs are no where available for a 2nd chance. The fire team has multiple ways to heal and more health options all over the map. While the predator only has 2 and he takes forever to heal while fire team takes literally a second and he’s back to good health. The fire team has field syringes, med kits and gear kits that they can replenish their 2 field syringes with. Predator has 2 and they are very limited. There definitely needs a balance, I’m not asking for predator to just be able to kill the FT with a few slashes but give him more of a fighting chance. The only class suitable to take on an experienced fire team is beserker. The other classes don’t really stand a chance against an experienced fire team
