To see who is worthy for the hunt the predators set up royce and his crew against dutch and his crew in the same enviornment as predators.
Who comes out as the baddest mercenary unit?

Royces Crew:
Royce
Isabella
Nikoli
Stans
Mombosa
Chuchillo
Nolland (w/o camo )

vs.

Dutches Crew:
Dutch
Dillion
Mack
Blain
Billy Sole
Poncho
Rick hawkins

Everyone has the equipment they were shown using in thier film.

Rogue Jedi
Isabelle solos.

Lestov16
As much as I loved the new Predator, I think Dutch's crew will take this

Rogue Jedi
How? Isabelle will pick them off long range. Dutch's tea, has no chance.

IIRC, She only made one long range shot, and she missed

Dutchs' crew are all highly experienced soldiers that have fought together many times over the years. That experience garners them the victory.

Dutch's crew ain't falling for no sniper fire. They flank and destroy.

thumb up

yep. more organised, better teamwork etc.

plus, Dutch is a real advantage imo.

BruceSkywalker
Dutch's crew is far better than Royce's crew

RE: Blaxican
"Better teamwork?" "More organized"? They were running around like chickens with their heads cut off purely because they were being killed by an enemy that they couldn't see. That's specifically a snipers MO. I agree with RJ, Isabella can solo.

Sniper rifle. You know what that is? It's a really cool gun that shoots from ranges up to and over a mile out.

Dutch's team never gets close enough to Royces team. Royce and the others sit back and smoke a bowl as Isabelle solos.

According to rules you can't go off of assumptions of their occupations man. You know thisssss. It's feats that prove the victory.

However I will give you credit for trying to bring military prowess into this.

However I will give you credit for trying to bring military prowess into this. You can, however, go with what is implied. Isabelle was a Black Ops sniper, trained by the CIA. She has a high powered sniper rifle. You really think she'll have problems tagging Dutch and his mates from hundreds of yards away?

IF Dutch and his team can avoid her sniper fire raining down on them from up to and beyond a mile out, then they pwn. Not gonna happen though.

First of all, it's not exactly called "black ops" from the CIA, so get that right at least. Secondly, Special Forces snipers are a bit better than CIA trained snipers. It does however depend as well. There are also a couple of factors to think about too. This takes place on the newest predators timeline ja? If it does then that means Dutch's special forces team has advanced training into the present (which is way better today than it was in the 80s.)

Regardless of what makes sense or doesn't, the writers of the movie are primary canon. And, according to the writer of the movie she's pretty much the absolute best of the best most highly trained sniper you can get, complete with a nigh sixth sense "gift".

Her competence isn't in question here.

I do agree that that the setting may work against her though, frankly that could go either way.

She was with the Isreali Defense Force before being trained by the CIA.

"I don't recognize this jungle, and I've seen most." She has been in almost every jungle in the world, dude. Also, she carries the same sniper rifle that Agent 47 did. It can make shots from TWO miles away.

So.....Dutch and his crew have to somehow:

Pull a matrix move and dodge her bullets while making their way to Royce and his team over a distance of two miles.

Then they have to deal with the minigun wielding Russian (Spetznatz Alpha group)

Cuchillo and his twin uzis.

Hanzo.

The SLRU guy.

Noland (who is U.S. AirCav) and his alien weaponry. He has been onplanet for ten seasons, his familiarity with the territory is invaluable here.

Not to mention the booby traps that Royce will set. And yes, Royce is ****in uber at setting booby traps. How do we know? "The trunk was a dead-fall. The rule of thumb with a dead-fall is that you set the weight five times that of the target animal. Whatever it was got through the trip-wires and did this." He has claymores and grenades to work with too.

Dutch and his team must do all of this AND dodge Isaballe's two mile out sniping...Yeah, they can do that roll eyes (sarcastic)

Lestov16
Ok this is not fair. I vote that Isabelle is taken out

Rogue Jedi
She's an Elite sniper, man. She has what the recruiters call "the gift", the ability to slow her heart and pulse rate. Yeah, with her in the mix, Dutch and his team are screwed.

Until you have some idea of what you're fighting you have no option other than to run around like a chicken with your head cut off. Either way, that's simply not true. It really wasn't until they learned what they were fighting that they started running around like headless chickens. Royces crew essentially employed the exact same type of tactics that Dutchs crew used. I just think they're better soldiers and their experience fighting together means a lot.

Did you miss everything that Blax said? They cannot SEE Isabelle. She has a rifle that can take them out from TWO MILES away. How are they gonna get close enough to even put a dent in Royce's team?

They can't.

They die.

In a close quarters battle, yeah, Dutch and his crew pwn. But not here.

No where near ten times. Thats genuine superspeed at a pretty high level.

RE: Blaxican
Still one hell of a feat. It was moving faster than they were and was moving perpendicular to her (which is the hardest shot to make since you have to lead the target) and she still managed to not only hit it, but headshot it. Pretty impressive. Not that that really has anything to do with what you're saying.

I fail to see where they start off two miles away from eachother.

They were pretty organised when they took out those guerillas.

Plus, i'd be very surprised if they couldn't deal with one sniper. they are black ops troops themselves.

A Predator sniper with a plasma cannon and camouflage.

Don't try to say it's the same as Isabelle. it isn't.

RE: Blaxican
It's not the same. As far as "stealth" is concerned, a sniper rifle round is > a plasma cannon and standing 100 feet away from someone using camouflage that doesn't even work if your target looks at you hard enough is < standing 1200 feet away concealed in some bush somewhere.

My mother always taught me that if the only thing you have to say is something mean then don't say anything at all. So if I wanted to say something like, say, 'Eat a cock Blaxican, and kiss my black ass' or nothing at all, then I don't say anything at all. Is my mother the greatest or what?

they would recognise a sniper though.

a big blue ball of energy would be a different thing altogether.

the first act of the predator movie spends the time building up arnie's team as the best in the business. yet we're supposed to believe that if they go up againist isabella, they're all going to get picked off like newbs?

So they recognize the sniper, and? How they gonna get close enough to take her out?

Isabelle sets up in a nest while Royce lays out booby traps galore. As Dutch's team nears, they die one of three ways:

1. Isabelle picks them off like flies from a mile out.

2. They fall to booby traps. If Dutch and his team detect the booby traps, they are gonna need time to bypass them. As they do so, Isabelle easily snipes them.

3. Royce and the others cap them.


Doesn't matter how good Dutch's team is, they have literally no means to counter Isabelle's ability to snipe them from a mile out. Two miles even.

Placidity
Arnold's team would fall back to an area where the sniper would not have a line of sight.

If Isabelle is 1200 feet away, that'll make her useless for the rest of the fight.

Dutch's team can do the same shit. Make traps and wait for the enemy to come. The scripting is lame.

Also, I didn't know Isabelle's rifle came with an xray vision and infrared scope that lets her detect people from that far away and then see through the jungle bush.

If anything, Dutch's team will get the drop on them cause they have an expert tracker.

So both teams just wait for the other to come to them, yeah? Nah. Isabelle is an ace sniper. Snipers can wait as long as they need to for their targets. Hours, even days. Eventually Dutch and his team will make a move, and she'll be there to pick them off. There really is no way around that.

Right after Royce saves her from the stake pit, the two of them go back to back, giving the area a quick scan. She spots the dead American soldier. "110 meters, 12'O'clock." 110 meters is over 120 yards, dude. She saw through all the thick jungle 120 yards and picked out a man dressed in full camo and covered in dirt. She did this while giving the area a 360 degrees quick scan in about 5 seconds. If she is in a nest, taking her time, well, use your imagination.

So Royce and his team are a few hundred yards ahead of her. And when they engage Dutch and his team, Isabelle sets up from hundreds of yards off and takes them out. If Billy tries to track them, he's gonna get a claymore up his ass.

Just more scripting for the team you want to win.

So I said Dutch's team can set traps and lie in wait too, and your response was, 'nah Dutch will eventually move'.

Also, the scene you said was just one area shown during the movie, there were parts where there was dense forests. Dutch will use those as cover and not expose his team in the open. Also, Isabelle waiting there for days? You know the battlefield is like the whole planet right? She could lie there till she dies of old age.

Realistically? Both teams will look for the other, and engage in combat when they do.

Anyway, Dutch's crew being a spec-ops team, there's no doubt that they have experience with dealing with snipers.

A cloak that doesn't actually make you invisible and jumping from tree to tree doesn't mean a whole lot when you're standing 50 feet away, which is what the Predator was usually doing. As far as actual killing effiency and stealth, you'd be better off with a sniper rifle and a bush then an ultra bright and slow moving, laser sight give away plasma caster and a light bending cloak.

I don't know why people even bring up the cloaking device. Gormen in Concrete Jungle saw the cloaked predator well enough to aim and shoot at it in a pitch dark setting on the train, yet somehow everyone else fails to see it while it's right on front of them, except for the main characters (who can always see it).

The cloak actually worked pretty decently in the trees in the beginning, before the team figured out that something was picking them off one by one.

haermm Isabelle picked out the dead special forces soldier from 120 yards away. She was scanning the area quickly, in borderline panic mode. Dude was in full camo and not moving. Dutch and his team will be moving, and they have no way of seeing her 120 yards away. Put Isabelle in a nest, under cover, with booby traps surrounding her, and yeah......

Sure, Dutch and his team can detect booby traps and bypass them, but it takes time. When they try to bypass/disarm the booby trap, BAM, she nails them.

Sure, I'm sure you saw in my scans that there was clearly 120 yards line of sight, and that Dutch will want to go into areas that are as open as possible. Yup, in fact your response is not really a response, just repeating what you've said earlier, which I've already shot down.

Put Isabelle in a nest? You don't even know where the other team is.

LOL!

I was actually with RJ until this point. I was thinking that the sniper would take a "high" position with an advantageous line of sight to an area/path that the others would naturally take. I haven't seen the new flick yet so I guess that jungle doesn't have much to over in terms of several clearings?

I think my point still stands, though, as your images show nice clearings. Maybe RJ's still right?

RE: Blaxican
Let's ignore all of that for a minute and focus on the fact that Placidity obviously illegally downloaded the movie and should thus be put in jail forever.

Placidity, you bad, bad man.

I'm assuming if you're asking if clearings were shown? Yes there were, theres a few scenes actually. But most of it is what you saw in my scans. But the point is Dutch isn't going to expose himself and walk in the open when he knows theres another elite enemy out there trying to kill them.

RE: Blaxican
Wow, didn't know it'd come out already on DVD and the like. It's only been like two months.

Royce's team has two distinct advantages:

1. Isabelle and her sniper rifle that can make two mile shots. She is a highly trained sniper, she WILL spot Dutch and his team before they spot her.

2. Noland and his knowledge of the terrain.


Royce is trained in jungle warfare, just as Dutch is. He is at least as good at setting booby traps as Dutch is.



It all adds up to Team Royce winning.

Yup, thats why Dutch isn't going to hide in one spot and just hope that despite the battlefield being the entire planet, that the enemy will stroll into where they are hiding.

1.

- Sniper may or may not have that range ( most likely not), but Isabelle has not shown that kind of marksmanship.

- Dutch will stick to the forest for cover. Isabelle will not spot them, if she even knows where to look at given theres thousands of square miles of jungles in all directions. She doesn't even know which side they may be approaching from.

- If she spots Dutch and his team, it would be in close quarters, in which case, no she does not spot them first, and yes she will be mowed down quickly.


2.

The terrain is not dissimilar to those found on Earth. Noland's knowledge of the terrain will not help.

Unfortunately this is just your opinion and is not shown on film.

Yes.

She is a Black Ops CIA sniper, dude. They don't just select anyone to do that. She's Elite.


Robert Rodriguez, on Isabelle:

Dutch and his team work together, man. They don't split up, at least not far enough to make it difficult for her.

So Dutch and his team will sneak up on her from two miles out, bypass all Royce's booby traps, and just be right in her face? Riiiiiiiiiight. And you say I'M deluded.



Wrong. And? Noland knows where the valleys are, where the "choke points" are, he knows where the jungle is dense and not. This is more valuable than you think.




Actually it is. He recognized the special forces booby trap, and he set the trap on Edwin.

Dutch has this...


Also he has insane durability as he tanks Predator canon shots! Sniper bullets won't do anything to him.

And of course he has the best lines.

Here's how it'd go down. Dutch and his team are searching for Royce and the others. Blane has his chest blown out by Isabelle.

Mac steps out, sees his dead friend, freaks out and grabs the minigun. Dutch and the others join in, mowing down the forest. Isabelle, safely tucked into a nest a few hundred yards out, kills Poncho. Then Hawkins. Then Dillon. Then Mac. Then Billy. Then Dutch.


She and Royce kick back and smoke a bowl. yes

Dutch has superhuman durability. Sniper shots will do nothing to him. shifty
