Creator's Pet: The Colonial Marines in the video games can sometimes qualify, with fans preferring to play as the Alien or the Predator.

The cloaking effect only made it possible to spot a cloaked Predator standing still, and the Energy Flechette filled a badly-needed mid-range gap in the Predator arsenal.

The Predator players complained that their cloaking was now worthless (a faint rainbow shimmer had been added, making cloaked Predators easier to spot), and the only compensation they got was basically a laser SMG.

Dual pistols with AP rounds could be devastating against armored enemies, and the 360-degree motion tracker made it much harder for aliens and cloaked predators to sneak up on them (though these were only available to 'Corporate' Marine players).

Marine players complained that all they got were dual pistols and a 360-degree motion tracker.

Without headbite, their ability to restore health was almost nonexistent, making them ironically have much lower battlefield longevity than other Aliens.

While Predaliens are tougher and stronger than other Warrior or Runner Aliens, they're also slower and larger, making them big targets for Marines and Predators.

This greatly mitigated Predaliens' 'glass cannon' status.

Alien players complained that the only addition was allowing Predaliens to headbite, restoring far more health than they were able to with claw attacks.

Everyone was crying out about how 'their species' got the shaft when it came to new equipment:

The Primal Hunt expansion pack caused an interesting variation of these.

Broken Base: Most of the fans of the older PC games are already decrying the route the series has taken in the new one.

Eisenberg, who really seems anticlimatic after two in-tandem Predators, seeing as you can just run up to him and eat his freaking head off.

The final enemy of the Alien campaign in AvP2 is Dr.

Predators are pretty nasty, though, especially when you fight them as the unarmed, unarmored Alien. Even the Alien Queen goes down after a few bursts of minigun fire or some brief circle-strafing and whacking with the combi-stick. The Exosuit is heavily armed and armored, but has an atrocious lack of armor over where the operator's head is, allowing you to bring it down with just a few headshots, or even a single bonegun round to the head the Predator's pistol also paralyses the stupid thing with every shot.
