...oh yeah. Okay, you're right. That was pretty bogus.
And another thing that was bogus was the fact that the Predators hunted
during the hot season based on the idea that they came from a hot
world. I'm sorry, but I don't think thermographic vision would evolve
in a warm environment. It would probably evolve in a cold environment
that would let you see your warm-blooded targets standing out against a
cold background. In a hot environment critters don't have to expend as
much energy to keep warm and would fade into the background, or
cold-blooded critters (like lizards and snakes) would be damn near
invisible.
</end rant?>
Not that I didn't like the movies (loved 'em in fact :)
Anyway, if the player is still causing problems send his character on a
run in the desert and sick cold blooded critters on him <EG>.
