Because it's retarded to play as a Predalien but have no extra power/skills/bonuses. Might be fun to have a game mode where it's 3-4 Predators versus a Predalien, actually... like Predator Hunt, but another step up.

A PredAlien wouldn't have any bonuses.

It wouldn't in-game, no... since impregnating hospitalized women is hardly a multiplayer element.

It would be the next MW2 airport fiasco.

Never played MW2, but isn't that the part where you get to kill children? Someone talked about that before in an IRC channel I frequent.

Anyway... yeah. That's why we don't have the Predalien.

It's where you play as a terrorist and clear out an airport full of civilians.

I think it's an experience many would like to forget.

Of course, but that's the Predalien for you. Unless we go back to the AvP games/comics Predalien, which is fine for me.

yes but the predalien in the first 2 games was not... and this game is based more on the old games than AVP:R, bar a couple thing like pred mines and the wolf skin..

Chet was a QUEEN.

Based on what?  He came from an ordinary chestburster, from an ordinary Predator. How does that make him a Queen?

[Xhan]

Because the people making the movie said so?

Did you not notice the Queen crest on the back of her head?

[TJ Doc]

And the breathing...

[Hive Tyrant]

Did you not notice the Queen crest on the back of her head?

No, not really. That movie was f**king dark. About the breathing: by the time I saw Aliens and knew the Queen had asthma, I'd already seen Requiem months ago and forgot about the sounds the Predalien made.

[X-SOLDIER]

Wasn't the idea behind Chet that she was a PredAlien midway through the metamorphosis into a Queen (thus the alternate impregnation method to spawn a large number of guards to protect her & create a hive, before she goes into her full transformation & goes dormant/immobile)? I didn't think that any PredAlien was immediately given the Queen-like reproductive capabilities. I thought it was the fact that Chet was spawned without any Hive/Colony, and was making the change into a Queen that hadn't been showcased in a film before. As far as I know, PredAliens are just slightly tougher Xenomorphs, due to being based on a more tough host species, and Chet's Queen-like features were just due to her transitional metamorphosis.

(On a side note - does anyone have the listings of the confirmed skins for each race from the DM Demo?)

then they should have said so in their film. they had every chance to.

the people making Alien would have told you that the alien can turn someone into an egg... but that isn't acknowledged in any of the other films because it wasn't shown in the first film. Giger would have told you that fire couldn't kill it... except we all know it can.

Cameron ignored the intentions of the film makers behind the first one... ignored the deleted scenes... and stayed true to what was on screen because that's all anyone really knew for a fact.

if i was making a third AvP movie i'd totally ignore all that nonsense with the predalien impregnating pregnant women. heck i'd find a way to explain it away so it could never happen ever again.

whatever their intentions were is irrelevant to what this game or anything else can and can't do with the universe. we have the final film as it stands (unfortunately). whatever they tried to do... is all kind of secondary to the actual film which fails to establish any such thing.

that kind of stuff is interesting background info, and until something contradicts it, if you like it you can take it as true, but 'the film makers intentions' don't meet my criteria for uncontradictable canon.
