In AVP2 the predator had a pretty well balanced Health/Energy balance. The predator stabbed himself with the healing sticks, and when his power went low, used the staff thing to bring his back up. Also had very nice weapons like net gun, spear gun, red laser disk... But it was also posible to COUNTER all the predators weapons, I have evaded the disk, nets, and spear guns many of times, even when using the staff thing to bring his energy up, I have caught many of predators.
In Sega AVP, the predators weapons are not "cool" anymore. Sure, hes got the weird bouncing disk, and a spear stick that he shoots, that you cant even duck from.the mines are extreamly LAME.... But none of these weapons have created any kind of buzz in the community. The predator is now stale, and is to much of a "melee monster". Are most of your kills done by using "cool weapons" or just by doing melee attacks? I find 95% of my kills I am doing with melee, while in AVP2 melee kills were done by very skilled players.
