A good example of the surprise attack of a predator can be seen in this video that I uploaded.
It is a game in which frankly did not have to use much strategy that the opposing team was not very organized so mine was spreading like Christmas
Anyway, as I see in the video clip detect some enemies attacked them and when they decide to go downstairs from the platform I choose to go down the ramp to surprise out there, when I come to the ramp detected a Bruiser am preparing to attack and in the last second detected the Predator mode Stealker to my right but it was too late to react, pum Predator, Bruiser pum, pum Predator again and am now history
We won the game but I'll take the bad taste of having fallen into an ambush just seconds after departure
You can see the scene from minute 7:57

Yeah! Seen it, Maxunarul. Nice ambush, really! Weird, they tried that in the open, but they succeeded, obviously. Thx 4 the link. I played wednesday with Yamahappy. He's very good with the Predator, so i spontaneously decided 2 follow him as Predator too. 2gether we totally messed up the enemies backlines by always attacking synchronously, without an arrangement, nor a single word. In most cases we killed single enemies, and retreated unseen round the next corner. Killed like cats, vanished like ghosts, and shielded our backs 4 each other. Big fun by perfect teamwork. Origin is ideal 4 that tactic, also Wreckage, but in the end it always depends on your team. They have 2 task the enemy team hard enough 2 keep 'em busy and concentrated on them. Hard 2 achieve, because they have 2 stand with 4 vs 6, but that allows 2 Predators 2 sneak unnoticed behind 'em, where it's easy 2 bury the damaged foes while repairing, or the respawning 1s, trying 2 regroup. The latter r just as well important 2 kill, lest they regroup otherwise without further delay, increasing the pressure. It works well in situations, where two teams with many snipers damage each other hard, but not enough 2 kill 'em, so they always retreat in time, and repair, and that's the moment where they find their end by the 2 Predators. That's pretty effective, because of the big amount of damage 2 Predators can deal instantly, and the total confusion they cause when decloaking 2gether, killing sudden and disappearing complete the next second. I experienced, even after failed ambushes, or when additional enemies arrive sudden, there's big chance the Predators survive and retreat, when fitted with blockades or EMPs. Especially the breacher railshot trick is useful - it seems many players either don't know or 4got the fact, the breacher railshot can penetrate shields and blockades and hit them. Vice versa every shot of them is hold back by the blockade, hehehehe. Blockades r a good way 2 close the "door" when retreating, anyway. But if the enemy is almost shot half down, it's sometimes worth 2 simply turn around and open fire on the perplexed foe on the other side of the "door". Killed an astoundingly number of tenacious pursuers this way. A bit nasty, but smart. But the most insidious move is 2 use the blockade 2 clamp repairing enemies between the wall and itself. When done right, they r no more able 2 turn or move and can b finished safely with the breacher edgewise or right through the blockade. Reminds a bit of a spider, that ties it's victim 1st b4 it bites and kills it. Spooooky.... Did this only a few times, when the repairing foe was a C class or almost ready 2 go, but the instant complains of the victims were always... let's say "intense"... ;) However - playing the Pred is an invidious job, and not very rewarding, thx 2 the fact that most better players spot u even cloaked with ease, and none of its weapons can keep up with those of most enemies, but i enjoy playing 1 of the hardest mechs 2 master, regardless how low my ranking is, compared 2 the MVP. It's the way HOW i defeat my foes, not HOW MANY foes i defeat, and the more difficult it gets, the more fun i have, when it worked well 4 me.
