in the books Predators bred Aliens as game.

Put my vote in for the predators.

I mean, these guys hunt for sport and to be the best. And they're not just there to kill off everything.

Aliens seem to gear themselves more towards infestation and total anihilation.

A bug, or a hunter... eh,  I'll take the hunter. Besides, cloaking is just too cool. :)

What spices? :blah:
Not species?
If you meant species, this is my comment:
Where the hell did I say they wanted to destroy humanity? I DO[/i] know they are hunters. That's the reason they are not especially good at fighting multiple enemies.[/size]

Predator may have other weapons beside the self destruct to deal with multiple enemies and they might also have some defense against the xeno's blood.

Ohh yeah, Aliens, of course. Silly. :rolleyes:

The Predators. They have an advantage in the "coolness factor"
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

People will win, one predator will "vanish", a couple of xenomorph eggs will survive, the temple or whatever it is is "shut down", wait for sequel.

Voted Xenomorph because Predator is just an ugly mother****er, and humans < hissy demon monsters who have mouth in tongue and who start their life by grabbing dude's head, putting an egg into his stomach, groving into a giant killer worm and bursting out of his chest.
lol wtf

I suppose trying to detonate that nuke thing in the middle of Las Vegas doesn't count? :p

And for the VS thing, aliens, coz their movies are better :p

My approach to dealing with Xeno swarms is to just spam them with me plasmacaster (in Xeno vision mode, for rapid lock-on). It's not like you need the energy for cloaking or healing (you have no time for the latter). Should your reserves be depleted, start lashing out with yer combi-stick, it's got a suprising range on it. Save the disc for when a Praetorian inevitably jumps you ;)

I think we already have. Near the end "Aliens", the 2 big buggers with "things" on their back, protecting the queen, might have been Praetorians....not sure though.

And I voted Aliens, cause they don't need no techincal gimmicks to fight. In a bare-handed fight, an Alien would probably rip a Predator to pieces.
...oh, and they look cooler.

Praetorians are the guardians of the Queen, so they are Praetorians for sure.

Except Praetorians have heads that look more similar to the Queen, and those two certainly did not.

I am not a native, but I as far as I know, Praetorian is a synonym for Vindicator and Guardian.

In the games, they would have been Praetorians. But in the film, we had only drones and the queen. So drones they were (besides - they look like drones :)). The praetorians were created by the game designers, IIRC.

The praetorians appeared in the comic long before the game was even thought of.
