I would have if the game hadn't decided to literally freeze just as I was going in for the kill on one of the last two fire team members, only to unfreeze with me basically dead, in one of the only matches where I was actually doing well.They really, really need to fix that. I had a match earlier where it was constantly freezing every few minutes, but in that one it literally cost me the game. So yeah, not the most fun opening night I've ever had with a game.
Not to mention it feels like they either stealth nerfed the melee, or the elder sword is just worthless. The amount of times I would jump in and hit someone literally about 7 times in a row with that thing only for them to keep running until their teammates arrives was ridiculous.
On the plus side the plasma caster on full charge is a monster if you can get the hit off. It really is an insta-down. Ironically I was trying to move away from using it as the trial made it clear that meleeing with the combistick was really the way to go, so I was trying to do more of those sort of attacks. But once I realised how worthless they were I started going back to ranged with the caster, which was how I really wanted to be playing all along.
But yeah, I really am starting to slowly come round to the "buff the Predator" way of thinking. At least the melee anyway. Because right now at the start of the game his only two options for it are a bit of a joke.
