User blog comment:Redkite/Season 2, Battle 3, Delta Squad (Republic Commandos) vs. Predators/@comment-4098900-20130101191332

Now that this isn't on a Predator ship, Delta Squad should take this by far. Primarily because and starting with their Kartan Class Commando armor. Without its shields, Kartan Class armor can survive shots from laser canons, verpine shatter guns (a weapont hat causes extreme kinetic damage), and light grenades. That should be enough to bloke a round from a plasma caster and any other Predator weapon. In the original film, the plasma caster failed to penetrate very light body armor. Didn't even cause much kinetic damage. Of course in other portrayals it can take down Colonial Marine Dropships. In some of the games the Plasma Caster has to be charged for a few seconds in order to provide maximum damage. Without it ordinary colonial armor can take like 2 shots from it. I'm not sure if that's just gameplay or not, but I'm going with that assumption. Either way a fully charged round probably isn't going to penetrate Kartan Class. Kartan Class convers almost the entire body of the user. Leaving very few points open. Those points being a small opening in the neck, upper leg, hamstrings, and the back of the shoulder. Fortunately those points aren't exposed because of the armor's energy shields. Basically the main thing it does is block out the use of stealth kills- one of the most important and useful tactics a Predator has. Delta will stay together and will avoid separation most likely. An attempted stealth kill will fail and give the Commando a quick opportunity to kill a Predator. With them all together it won't be that difficult. Attacking them will be a mistake. A few hits from their blaster will penetrate Predator armor. Most of their body doesn't even have armor. A few well placed shots to a vulnerable part of the body should kill the Predator. One or two well placed sniper shots should do the job. Predators constantly toy with their prey. When they loose this is often one of the main reasons. If they don't toy with Delta they're basically exposing themselves. During daytime the Predator will be most vulnerable. This is because while not completely uncloaked, they can be seen when in sun light. Overall Delta is pretty much equally trained, has got armor that will make the Predator's most effective tactic useless, make them extremely hard to kill, will work as a team and avoid being separated, and the Predator toying or not toying with Delta will harm them either way.
