Thats the way "you" think about it. And there is no prove, that aliens are stronger or no objective argument why they have to be stronger. So you have to respect other opinions like all other "alien have to be stronger in melee"-guys.
But I really dont want that preds are stronger in melee.
Sorry, but overall some "points" people make here pretty often are just opinions.
And i think its no secret, that the majority are aliensplayers and the majority overall isnt better then some hardcore Star Trek-nerds.
Any pseudoarguments, that are based "facts" from movies are just subjective. Like someone wrote in an other thread: The skills of an creature/character/etc. based on the script of the movie and can vairy from scene to scene.
And people have to respect people, who like to see preds goin into melee and be equal (what i want for example, i dont want to be predators as superior meleespecies) and even if they want to be superior in melee, if aliens and preds are overall equal, its just their opinion.
Im fine if both get equal but I dont want to see a real advantage for one of them, cause predators are not dependet on their ranged weapons and you see them fighting in CQC very well, specially if they fight the strongest/leader/alpha/etc. , if you remind the movies.
Like you, I cant speak for everyone. But i appreciate fighting single aliens in melee and the meleesystem overall. I want same chances for both to win the game, so noone have to feel disadvanteged and its makes overall sense to go in melee with a pred.
Overall you "seem" (actually i dont think you really do it) to speak for the ones who primary want to win. I dont care for that, i play for the fun, the experience, the tension.
What kinda people care that much about a high score? Why should i have to play "save", if I like to fight aliens in melee?
Whats the point of the whole system? I think its pretty clear now, that Rebellion wanted to expand the melee-part in the gameplay, so its a huge part of it.
And thats something I always hated about the previous titles. Melee is something important in this franchise. And in AVP 1 and 2 you just can just bunnyhop and push the left mousebutton. So there is no real melee at all.
Its simply not true, that the one that attacks first lose the game. There are many situations, where its not that easy to detect.
And Im pretty sure, you can solve the problem if the aliens and preds are equal in melee and become stronger/the predators become weaker in other aspects.
Aliens got some advantages, like the speed and the look through walls, that are important and can be advanced.
The ranged weapons of preds could be less effective against aliens, too.
So i agree, if aliens become equal in melee, but i see no reason why they have to be superior. But someothers trend to that and think their opinion would be anyhow more important than the one of others.
And after seeing that over and over again, sorry, but Im a bit pissed, even Im no real "fan" of aliens or predators.
Anyway I think its allmost impossible to really make them equal.
Specially cause the maps are so different (and here aliens really deserve more, in their style).
BTW: And for people who frag like the one today in my match (*clantag* bullet sponge was his name), they just deserve to get killed by the disc over and over again, if they just stealthkill and tailspam from walls. I really try to play fair, but its just poor if someone plays that way just to push his score.
