Having the helmet, gauntlet and plasma caster lock-onto targets and fire by themselves made the Predator's look like faggots.
So, they rely on technology, not skill, to not only hunt but DEFEND themselves? Weak...
Kinda like human hunters do, with overwhelming technological advantage...
shareI agree the whole auto targeting auto firing doesn't feel canon to me. I think that was thrown in the plot so that the humans could use the technology and make the plasma canon less predictable It was done as a lazy plot tool.
shareIndeed. In the first we actually felt hunted. This one they weren't really hunted. The finale felt like a run through the local park at night. Kind of reminded me of playing spotlight in the boy scouts.
sharePerhaps that's how the alien tech works in the hands of a human - Unwieldily, unpredictable, and imprecise. The Predator's red beam (crosshair) certainly suggests that the cannon is being aimed when they're using it in full gear.
