Balance. I'm starting to really hate that word.
QuoteVasquez managed to subdue one of them momentarily with enough force in Aliens.
Completely different situation. In the movie she subdued the alien because it was below her and it was injured IIRC. She pinned it to the ground with the help of freakin gravity.
Now look at the video. What I see is a marine smacking an alien repeatedly and kicking it off the stairs. There's even a move, when an alien pins you to the ground, you hold it by the neck (what the f**k?!) and kick it off (almost) flying.
A f**kin tiger, bear or even a rotweiler would totally eat your ass in a situation like that. And the ultimate biomechanical horror gets kicked off. Frankly, f**k you, Rebellion. And to think how much I loved the company because of AvP1..
