I recently has a 22-kill predator game by playing a pure ganker role.  The predator defintely shines in specific situations, and I heartily recommend it for support actions behind the enemy lines.

When you play a pred, you need to throw everything you know about how to play out the window and start new.

I think the poll might be enlarged with one new option to cast votes with... as, for instance, something like "I'm still getting the point of this mech as a whole..." or something..

It just needs to be able of detonating mines (secondary weapon) in midair; IMHO.

Maybe by adding a negative damage modifier when you do that.. (_ -> now playing the Twilight Zone's theme here). :D

Ref. Iteration: /* Weapon projectile is stuck to anything_ If not then apply damage negative modifier */.. or something..
the ability to latch the mines to a friendly scout, this we need

If the Predator gets buffed other then a movement increase while cloaked and adjustments to the EOC P,
the few people who do well in it will become pretty much cloaking rambos. ._.
(Not that extreme, but you get the point)

I think they won't implement one secondary SLO-MO ability for he pred to do that (you know.. ala Time Shift game).. :lol:

Get the eoc on it and aim where they will be in three seconds and just spray the ground with as many mines as you can put out. You will almost always kill that pesky scout  or other a class. The pred is a great mech but its play style drastically differs from almost every other mech in the game.

I have not much idea on what you are trying to say here but with the predator I have found that you have to space out your shots. If you constantly keep firing both weapons you will overheat in a little over 7 seconds. If you know you can't kill the mech before that, then you need to space out your shots often. Like using cover, charge your breacher, fire + puck, use cover, charge, fire etc.

No.
EOC R suits the Predator, depending on how you want to play it.
