Gameplay Discussion: Predators

[Renomaki]

I agree wholeheartedly.
If a pred is going around killing marines, and you as a trained soldier drop your gun when you spot him instead of filling it with lead, you are a scumbag and a traitor.

What if it is more out of fear than because they are a scumbag?

Trust me, I see a pred take 20 bullets and still manage to kill two marines before running into the shadows, I'm probably going to try my best to avoid pissing it off and have it target me.

I'd only shoot it if I was ordered to, and even then, I'd regret it later. Fighting xenomorphs is one thing, but fighting an alien that can blow up your whole squad single-handed? Yeah, you know it isn't gonna end well.

Only on predator rounds.

NECROMANCER! But yeah, what doodeeda said.

necromancer??

[dylanstrategie]

Predators can spawn in any round, but they either all spawn or not at all

[HalfdeadKiller]

I would dearly like if they were removed or greatly reduced:

They seem a grief mode akin to space ninja at the moment

They completely ruin the round for whichever side they decide to attack a lot of the time, especially when it's the humans.

Ridiculous super runspeed that you can't outrun, a spammable gun that can stun entire groups of marines instantly and also explodes (plasma caster which didn't do either in the films?) almost instakills melee beheading, seemingly infinite healing, and ridiculous armour that no one should have really

Pretty much my thoughts on this.

necromancer??

No one had posted in the thread for nearly a year until you posted in it. That's referred to as necromancy and usually people don't like it.

Oh shit, this is an old as fuck thread. I thought this was recent. Saw it in new posts. Woopsie.

[Nubs]

This should probs be locked, though i'd welcome a new thread on this topic, as thing have changed greatly in the game since this thread (before it was necro'd)

[Telegnats]

Nothing has changed. They're an overclocked, invulnerable grief machine. Always have been and always will be.

If you play in rounds with predators, you'll see that a lot of them die. Not invulnerable at all.

[Heckenshutze]

What a salty, pred hatin' thread. Predators just take skill to kill just like a tier 3 would need. Get good. (Old as fuck thread by the way) .. Here's a tip from a pred player: Aim to the head with your melee weapon. Never gets old.

[Feweh]

Locked.

Predators are the weakest theyve EVER been, the meta knowledge and tactics from both marines and xenos on predators is insane.
They are nowhere near what they use to be in terms of "round ruiners"
