After seeing the Pred from P1 take down Arny in a fist fight and then take a log to the head like a champ and laugh as he lay dying, then witnessing the pred in P2 take several shotgun blasts to the torso and still manage to get up and continue the fight, I decided I'm a pred guy.. Sure aliens can get limbs chopped off and keep going, but thats cause they're too stupid to feel pain.. Preds just shrug it off. On top of that, the music from P2 as the pred approaches King Willie and when you first see the skull collection, awesome. My biggest problem with preds is that in recent media (primarily the movies), they've become less badass; in AVP, the first two preds got killed off like nothing; sure the celtic/heavy/alpha pred put up a fight but the xeno manaed to tackle and pin him, and the pred just TOOK the headbite... Scar managed to kill a few xenos, but most of those were with the plasmacaster, an auto aiming weapon, where's the honor? Then there was AVPR... I like how the one predalien managed to take down the entire ship.. Yes, they were caught off gaurd, but they're expert hunters, and there was an elder aboard, what happened there? Plus Wolf, who's supposed to be super badass was completely unaware of his surrounding most of the time and could have died on multiple occasion had the aliens just 'tailed' him... When I thin of preds, I think of the lone pred infiltrating an alien colony, killing everything in his path in search of the alien queen, the ultimate prey.. Aliens to me, have been strength in numbers.. In fact, look at starcraft, the basis for that was just AVP: The few but powerful protoss/preds, the infinite swarm zerg/xeno and the ones caught in the eye of the storm, the terrans/space marines/humans. In fact, if you watch the alien movies again, there's a trend... Defenless humans = 1 alien, armed and ready humans = lots of aliens. Unless of course you count AVP/AVPR....
