Lore (expectations) vs Reality (cruel)

First of all, I’m not a pro in terms of Predator lore, so feel free to fix my mistakes and add your own opinion. I also know, that “it’s a game”, so don’t waste your time typing these words :) Let’s start.

1.(Lore): Predators are very strong (physically), they can even fight (and win the fight) against Aliens with just their cold weapon (disk, sword, combistick). 1 good hit is enough to kill a human.
(Reality): Successful predator players say: "If you want to win as a Predator, don’t fight with humans in melee. They will parry your attacks, you’ll be locked in animation and they tear you apart with their knives.
2. (Lore): Predators are silent and deadly hunters, their cloak makes them almost invisible, so it’s very hard to know that there is a Predator nearby before he attacks his victim.
(Reality): Predators make noise better than a couple of elefants, you will hear them mile away. You can even hear as they change their vision mode or using cloak. The cloak itself is a garbage, successful predators say: “Don’t use the cloak, it’s harder to detect you when you’re running without it”.
3. (Lore): Predators use trees, high above the ground they stay invisible between leaves, waiting a perfect moment to attack.
(Reality): Successful predators say: “Never ever climb on a tree! You’ll be easily detected and killed”. It’s true - on the tree you’re an easy target. You’ll be locked in animation while running/jumping, your Plasma is useless (because every god damned branch or even leaf will make your shot fail), so avoid the trees.

What did I forget, guys?

Love it. Right on the mark, in my opinion.

the klunky and buggy movement and jumps

and the glowing! it says: FIRETEAM: TIME TO HUNT

None of those realities are very accurate

3: True, but once they knew what they were fighting against, trees became just a advanatge point, not a instant win device.

The thing is, in Predator lore, there is a diverse amount of Predators, some experienced, others not so experienced, some cocky and others careful enough to not underestimate the prey, pretty much how the Predator player base is at the moment.

Good lore knowledge but making the game this realistic would make it unplayable due to Predators extreme power. But still, interesting to read.
