Predators vs. Military

Re: Predators vs. Military

 

Didn't they have pheromone sensors in Predator 2?

 

Yes, they did. Which makes me suspect more standard systems either would not work, or would be detectable by the Predator - Gary Busey's team certainly had the funding for any sort of sensors they needed, so why go with something that gave a vague outline (and doesn't look like it worked in realtime - the shots we see are clearly both slowed down and delayed - likely requiring a few seconds delay simply for processing) unless you had nothing else that worked?

 

However, the radioactive dust they spread inside the warehouse looked to be effective - post exposure, the Predator never even attempts to engage his camouflage.

Haven't had much experience with government procurement, I see.

Of course, there are other drawbacks to spreading fallout as a detection mechanism...
