How do YOU define pred honor?
 

well i was gonna say honor, but i think thats too general.
anyway, ill start off..
my honor, is basically: i use different weapons according to my enemy, eg if they are noob. i use wrists, if they die hella easy with wrists, i let them move past while i stay still. if they are very experienced and snipe/headbite me with ease, then i pull out either disc or pistol. if teams are unbalanced or score is pathetic on my side, i go on a rampage and disc and pistol everything.
during this rampage, i disregard my health and energy, if i run out of energy, i collect my disc manually or leap and combi stick.
anybody do similar to this??
am i wrong in anything?
this is with humans though. with xenos i usually pistol or combi stick, only sometimes disc...

Well, in-game, it depends on the other players. If they fight with honour, treat them accordingly. Make sure they know they're on their Final Hunt, issue a challenge in the form of a taunt. Don't gang up on someone with fellow hunters, and always finish off the Hard Meat alongside the oomans before killing them. And never hunt someone who isn't capable of defending against your attack. Leave it to an un-Blooded hunter, perhaps, or let the Hard Meat finish them off. Tis a matter of respect.
If there're a load of dishonourable oomans -- and there are many -- you can deal with them however you like. Allow a Hard Meat to nearly finish them off and save their life, before running off and leaving them to sulk. Blast their skull to pieces so it can't be kept as a trophy, the ultimate sign of dishonour. Of course, these only apply to hunting solitary prey -- in war, your own survival comes first. And Hard Meat can be dispatched however you like; they are animals who have no honour to respect. And usually hunt in packs, so you have to deal quickly. Meh, same as the real (:D) Predators, if you like that sort of thing. How we play LANs, anyway.

Re: How do YOU define pred honor?
 

:| i only fight 1 species at a time lol.
to me it all has to do with the skill level of your prey. if they kill a couple of us no probs with a weak wep. we kill in groups. if they kill us easy with a 1 hit kill wep eg snipe, we fight alone.
::ALTHOUGH:: the yautja rank comes into play
1kill = young blooded = hunt in group, use mostly shoulder cannon and combi
over 100= hunter = hunt alone with combi stick, wrist , disc and net only
over 1000= elder = kill all dishonourable preds and only use combi stick.

im a hunter, er i dont know how many kills ive gotten but id say atleast er..300-400
the way i tell the difference between a noob and a skilful pred is, the noobs stay to die in the fight, the skilful ones sneak away and heal. this doesnt mean the fight is stopped. lol
sometimes you can be in the middle of noob and skilful, id say i am, im trying to get into the habit of sneaking instead of the urge to kill hehe

Re: How do YOU define pred honor?
 

Sneaking's fun. You should still give 'em a roar before you dismember them though, just for effect :p

Re: How do YOU define pred honor?
 

hehe yea i love taunting right behind them
especially when the map is empty and its about 1 vs 1
this one guy
queeroftheuniverse kept complaining stuff like
" plz stop freaking me out, my heart is beating like anything"
they literally jump in their seat when i decapitate them lol

Re: How do YOU define pred honor?
 

Hehehehe. Right where you want him, lol

Re: How do YOU define pred honor?
 

I can't play online because I suck so bad, but I do play single player well with the Predator.

Mariens- In the begging levels; I often cloak and only use my wrist blade. If there is a big group, I'll make a noise to distract them. Then I'll get behind them. Crouch, then hit jump, performing a leap and slash them down. That or I sneak up right behind them and uncloak, aim my blade, and just like in the comics. *Kushoonk*

Aliens- For Aliens, I have no respect for, they scare the bajebus out of me, so I usually go all out.. Most of the times I use my combi stick.


--------------
The pounce kill is my signature, I love doing it. I really don't use any other things then the wrist blade, combi stick, and occasionally the spear gun if there are a lot of enemies.

Re: How do YOU define pred honor?
 

pounce kill? you mean leap and slash?
i've specialised my leaping skills for a while now, im other games too.
when im in a fight or some rine has spotted me, i leap BEHIND him and turn in midair to face him and slash off his head.
sometimes you just stand still at a corner and they run into ur combi stick. once i crouched in a hallway, this rine just starts camping right infront of me..
so i get my wrist out. pull it bak as far as possible and take off his head and slash the dude behind him... they both were like " HOLY ****"
i cracked up so bad, preds have the funniest moments

Re: How do YOU define pred honor?
 

I remember the first map when the human says, "We have movment." I jump over them and get them from behind. Ah, man.

Re: How do YOU define pred honor?
 

i wanna try to make more moves like that for preds

Re: How do YOU define pred honor?
 

I just got through 'Trap' Ah it was the coolest, the gigantic group of mariens all in pairs, take the the synth with the speargun, then from there, just jump down and take'em out one by one.

Re: How do YOU define pred honor?
 

Yeah, that was fun, I wish they had done more levels like that, cause later with the aliens, since they can see you when you are cloaked (which is useless against xenos), then you cant stalk. I like stalking humans, again, they should have done more levels like "Trap".

Re: How do YOU define pred honor?
 

well i would have to say i think i play more like i think a true pred would(i dont follow all the stuff about them) in terms of mentality.

1 think i dont do is use the tracking weapons I.E. sholder cannon and disk(well i use the sholder cannon but i dont like useing the different vision modes)also i dont use the pistol(can you say spaming weapon)

aliens i hate kill them any way i can (exept the above mentioned)

however when i am hunting humans i tend to only use the combe stick, rist blades, net gun and spear gun.(i hate decloakingwhen fireing)

with humans i tend to follow them for a while (i love to spook them) before i make the final kill(somtimes i decloak as i chop there head off or other body parts, it really scares them.) by the kill chart Ronin-Predator put up i would be a hunter i tend to work solo exept on lan with my friends and then only with one of them.

Re: How do YOU define pred honor?
 

I say be a fair player (don't sk on purpose) and don't spam all the time (it is very annoying to some people and sometimes takes the fun out of things). When I play pred I usually play as a light pred because I like the spear gun and bombs. For me its not that difficult to kill someone (marine or corp usually) running along and then all of sudden get decapitated by my spear gun. As for sgers, I just don't move :). Sometimes they start to shoot everywhere and then they stop and blamo their head is off (It feels great afterwards lol). EMP's are the worst thing that can get you, but then again you have disc so why not use it? Sometimes feel like a noob using disc, but hey fire with fire right?

Re: How do YOU define pred honor?
 

Yes i'd say as well that a very good player is always a player who plays fair.

Therefore i agree with you MurdererM2 :).

But about the thing of being stunned by an emp grenade i have a simple (but not so easy solution[needs quite a good aim though]). Fortunately predator nature :D (or should i say predator tech hehe ;) ) has equipped the predators SG with a tri-shot ability which can really come in handy because if a marine/corporate stuns you and is about close to midrange (which is most likely the normal human stun range with exception of very good human players which can hit you from a distance with the EMP [but those most likely needs to know the ballistic of this weapon .... well no further detail on this hehe ;)]) you just need to keep your cursor in the vicinity of his head and you can (in most cases) take of his head before he can respond by changing his grenade loadout or taking another weapon.

But like i said this needs some training and should not be used without a good understanding of using the SG.

Well i even met/knew some people (including me) who shot of the head of a human while stunned with just a single shot of its SG but this really needs a very good aim and training ..... a whole lot of training.

If the Human is hiding behind a wall to change his weapons loadout or another weapon then ........ there are some other tactics certainly some people know but i will not tell everything hehe ;).

Re: How do YOU define pred honor?
 

I rarely play as a predator, but as the character/opponent I find bombing and pistol spamming to be hilarious and a telling sign of the predator's skill regardless of what side of the coin I am on. Often times you will see young predators 'shoot at the dark', as they say, because they get paranoid. Pathetic, in other words, and nothing to gloat about (although rather funny). Of course they are there for a reason, and I call that reason 'learning-the-ropes'. I have no problems with discs because they can be a must for amateur predators dealing with a fast alien attacker, they can also be slow to recover and although it takes a learning curve to bypass them, they can be quite easy (from an alien opponent's point of view). I find the use of discs agaisn't non-tracking humans to be pathetic though, but as more often-than-not an alien player, I find it fair. Some pros need to use them at times, but most pros I have met don't have much of a problem gutting someone. It's really quite outstanding to see.

But hey, it's not like anyone can do anything about it, so if I see someone employing those tactics I just roll with it. Even if they sometimes do gloat, hehe.

Re: How do YOU define pred honor?
 

lol im bloody awful with the disc and i wont think twice about usin it in a jam. as soon as i run out of spears with the spear gun i will lock throw the disc and bomb the side the human was forced to jump to while dodging the disc. (the disc is a distraction and hardly ever hits but when it does i crack up)

Re: How do YOU define pred honor?
 

lol sry for the bump but i havent been around for a while,
just readin thru..

i only use disc when im hella close, range is a bit lame and u can get kicked but if ur in their face and you disc them i consider it pretty fair as i could have just combi'ed

Re: How do YOU define pred honor?
 

I play with the speargun most of the time, unless I am ambushing. Then I jump on people's heads and use my wrists to collect a fine trophy.

Re: How do YOU define pred honor?
 

hmm i never thought of jumping ON them lol, ill try that out sometime

Re: How do YOU define pred honor?
 

I am playing with the lethal tournament mod so the disc doesn't home or have a tail but is a one-hit kill. I use it at short to HTH range. I just wish someone could make it like the X-Disc in U4e forever fortress.
