I dont see the point if you ask me, the disc is fine like this or do you rather have that homing one from AvP2? there it did costs energy and heck you could home in on anyone without beeing seen as you remained cloaked and the targeting laser was just a small red dot and you would be lucky to see it at all if it wheren't too late.
the thing is easy to dodge if you ask me, done it plenty of time in MP

Alien needs faster light attack (as it cant now rely on speed as it was in AvP2) and for cryin' out loud make the block actually block the Pred's light attack.

Having fought melee battles as a predator against the alien in MP they block my light attacks well if you ask me....but if the Predator blocks your quik attack too an then does a light attack your block wont save you as you get knocked down and then the predator has a go at you while your on the ground.
you don't win a continues melee fight against a predator.

As it is, the Predator is ruling the field in both melee and ranged, which is poo-poo. Make the Alien the melee race, Marine the ranged race and Predator something in-between the two.

Ranges the predator is better?
the Marines win in that compartment, the only problem is seeying the predator as he is cloaked...but if he is stupid enough to giveaway his position he's screwed if you have capable marines around especially armed with that sniper rifle. the only usefull ranged weapon as a predator is the spear...it's slow but it doesn't give your position away if you aim for someone.
Melee? well to stand and fight it wins, but a alien is too quik if you fail to take him by suprise and manage to lay one hit..get out..and make a another attack..ow and Teamwork is always good...the alien nor the marine can really stand on their own.
