I suppose that some people just want it to be one way or the other. Some people don't like knew stuff. I remember how when I first read Forever Midnight and such and was furious over the Hish idea. Then I calmed down, read it again, although I'll admit I didn't read the parts from the Hish point of view, and realized that it was actually a very well written book. Shirely didn't at all waste the potential of the jungle setting on another planet. On the contrary, he utilized it to its maximum potential and produced a truly great story.
But now I'm a bit more tolerant and understanding and can accept Hish into the AvP universe, even if I still don't like them.

Word twisting aside, I myself am actually hoping to see some new weaponry, as usual. Specifically, rifles! Thats one of the things that makes AvP War part 1 stand out to me. Plasma rifle wielding Predators! What more could you ask for?

I can't think anything but Warhammer 40k, when i look at the cover.

The cover to me feels like the kind of force the preds would send in to clear out an infested area that they don't want to completely destroy. Although in EU terms, you'd think if they wanted to do that, they could find some way to harvest and reproduce the black mold from Labyrinth. Why they would wage a war on earth of all places, and have it be land-based, rather than nuke-based...well, maybe they'll come up with a reasonable explanation come June. Until then, I'm holding judgement.

No honor in doing a nuke-based war. :)

He's got a point. Wheres the fun in revenge if you just watch an explosion from orbit when you could just gut the suckers yourself?

I hope they come up with really creative ideas for "military" predators

I mean come on, Dark Horse must have access to some fantastically talented artists who can come up with something more than rehashes of Halo designs

The One and Only

I was always of the thinking that HALO was ripping off Predator first, and turnabout is fairplay. ;D

Well it's a known fact that the Covenant Elites (both design and personality) were inspired by the Predator. :)

I'd say the elites are more polished and less savage

Yeah, I said that the first time I played Halo. The look of the marines was totally ripped off of aliens, the flood were standins for the xenos and the covenant were a video game bad guy version of the preds, complete with honorable culture and high level of mysticism. Starcraft did the same thing, replacing the bugs with the zerg and the preds with the protoss. I mean, sure, there were differences in both cases, it wasn't complete ripoffs, but they definitely know their roots. Half the human units in starcraft even quote aliens.
