A simple little fix, that would make things look a lot nicer-

I think that when you get predator you should gradually fade? (say over a per period of 1.5 secs) and fade out the same way.

I think that the pred should ACTUALLY BE INVISIBLE ;)

Why should it be invisible? It's cool like it is now and requires skill to exploit effectively.

Because u are a idiot.
Its a power up, they arnt supposed to make u use skill. Just sneaky things and such

it seems the only time i get caught in pred its coz people can see ur boosters:(

no its not because, it would defeat the purpose of preditor.

I've only seen Predator once but I think the predator does NOT fade in/out.

I think this is a bad idea. Preditor mode is one of the few really fun powerups, and this would risk weakening it for what is, in effect, just a graphical effect.

I also don't think it should be full invisiblity; it's good the way it is now. People going up against Preditor Mode ought to at least have a chance.

I think when u go into predator u should have the electric waves like in the movie that would be sweet.

the reason that the predator is not completely invisible because it is based on the movie predator and the alien in that was not completely invisible. he distorted the view around him and the guys could still faintly see it. therefore, the soldat version you can still faintly see him.

I like pred mode the way it is. Most people don't really know how to spot a pred, and it usually takes a while for a good player to actually spot it. Plus they are virtually invisible when running behind and in front of high bushes.

How would fading in and out weaken it? it would add a sense of transition. Like u get it.... faaaaade out. 1 second left on powerup... start fading back in. whats the big deal? you still have tons of time to wreak havoc. And if you were completely invisible? GAAAAAAY. I think the amount of invisiblity is good as it is.

Dark_Noddy, if you don't like Microsoft products, you're FREE to NOT use them. There are enough alternatives, so just stop bitching.

Of course Microsoft isn't innocent, but usually it's the user causing so many errors. The user.

It's fine how it is. It's funny though, sometimes, I'll hide near places where pred boxes are, but not on screen to it, so when people get it, and run by me, they think I don't see them. BUT! I do, if you look closely, you can see sort of a "distortion of their colors" so I kill them, and they are like "wth? you cheater!" and I just laugh and laugh.

i think that pred mode is great the way it is now. fading in and out would be an unnecessary drain of system resources. may as well keep it simple and true.


but b00sta, you must admit, microsoft does seem to code bugs into the software it makes....

Its True ! I'ma not saying Microsoft is BAD I just said that They Make Lousy upgrades 4 things that work fin allready ! I dont say Upgrades is bad But some of them just makes more problems than they do good !

Topic: Predator with compleatly invis players would SuX ! Coz as it is now U CAN see them if ure Experienced enough.. Making them compleatly onvis would make it LAME ! not having a little hope in killing them.. (Unless they are dumbasses and fire so U can see them...) But Thats MO..

Ag I agree Dont change anything about it. maybe a longer time I would suggest but thats about it cause yes in the "movie" he doesnt turn completly invisible witch is awsome cause imagine It would be harder and would not make sense there not superheros
