I wonder though if they'll take the difficulty down several notches as seems to be the case with a lot of newer games, the original AVP was so harrowing and scary to play as a Marine, because it was difficult, not despite it.

The Predator Hunt mode sounds quite cool and reminds me of an awesome source mod called The Hidden. Most the players are marines, but one is The Hidden, an experiment gone wrong who is completely invisible, but armed only with a knife and pipe bombs. The most fun part of it all is you can pick up the marines you kill as The Hidden and pin their lifeless rag dolls to walls. I imagine with the Predator being invisible, armed with a knife, but also missiles, the tri dot shoulder cannon thing and some other pretty nasty stuff will make the lone player feel an awful lot more powerful, like he has the advantage despit being out numbered. I just hope that the marines won't just become the meaty obstacle that gets simply hurdled by Aliens and Predators.
