ya i know that im just saying he would do damage but then die. Plus Predator has those two sword things on his wrist armor, and metal can't shut down or short circut so he could also use those for a quick but fatal strike before they melted.

Tie.

Aliens will overrun them using sheer numbers, but you have to remember that each Predator has a FRIGGIN NUCLEAR BOMB on their wrists.

Boom. Game over.

There isn't any other reason that I could say that Aliens would win this battle, because all of you have explained why they would.

No, The Strangler is right, if predator was about to lose then he would vaporise everythying with the nuclear bomb on his wrist. That would mean it's a tie.

Yeah, if your a predator and the going gets tough, Nuke yourself.

But i think the predator would win even without the wrist nukes, because they can go invisable, and are way more stealthy than the Aliens. Unless the aliens dont give off body heat, or cover themselves in mud or something..

Aliens don't show up on infared.

And besides, Aliens don't have eyes but other sensors, so they can see the Predator even when he's cloaked.

In the game, if you were fast enough you could kill the predator before it set of it's bomb. :)

I went with Predator..... I don't know why.....

*Looks at results thus far* I tied it up, so that counts for something....

I think I went with Predator more because I collected Predator toys when I was a kid....

I went with Predator. Just because he's really cool. :cool:

Now he is one vote in the lead.

This is an old story, and it really shouldn't be compared to Freddy vs. Jason.

It's been long worked into the story line that Predators breed Aliens for the sake of hunting. The idea, as I imagine, is almost as old as the original films.

Freddy vs Jason is more comparable to Terminator vs Robocop. The two were made to put two completely unrelated story lines together to settle a few sci-fi nerd debates (actually, it didn't settle anything) while making a few ... million bucks.

And back to Alien vs Predator. I assume this movie's story-line is going to take place during a Predator's "Rite of Passage". That is, the Predator hunter or few will likely send an Alien queen to a habitable planet... let it grow "a little" and then go down to dispatch it and take the head back as a means of advancing among the ranks.

The Predator is supposed to win. It was designed to win. I don't expect that every Predator would be successful, as that would make it a weak Rite of Passage. There are usually outside forces that make it difficult. Take, for instance... Marines. Yes, and that's where the fun comes in.

So no, this isn't your next Freddy vs Jason. The idea was long before Freddy vs Jason, and it has a respectable plot.

As for the movie? Yeah, probably a tie. Or the Marines will win.


EDIT:
Okieday. The website of the movie has the same poll, and Aliens are winning. Maybe the movie doesn't deserve more respect than Freddy vs Jason because they crapped it out the usual "Delayed 10 years" style. At least the story was cool for awhile in the 90s.

.... what are you talking about? What the heck is Freddy vs Jason? :D

This is Aliens vs Predator... this is legendary. :cool:

Re: Aliens vs Predator
 
Oh yeah.

Ignoring the fact that Humans have beaten both Alien and Predator in their respective movies... it is seen that the Humans had a much easier time destroying the aliens with simple machine guns (in Aliens, the movie). Predator, on the other hand, was either not killed (in the second movie) or it self-destructed with a nuke (in the first).

Natural Selection is better then Alien Vs. Predator.

Considering that the govenor of California caused the Predator to kill itself.....I got my money on the Alien.

The movie looks kind of lame though. What's up with that PG-13?
