I am not a predator expert but i have to agree with Sigma 617 [sorry if thats not the right name]. i think the predators rely on stealth and booby traps and if they lose that in the fight, that element of surprise, they are out of luck. Which is the preadtors downfall in every movie, they are exposed and lose their edge and are killed everytime
Aliens Vs Predator shows a trio of Predators fighting with thousands of Xenomorphs with just spears and his cannons...
>>Hence why I think the OP has no idea what he's talking about.
Active Camouflage on an Elite actually increases the heat signature of said Elite, consequently showing up as a huge flare on the Predator's Infrared setting on it's Bio-mask.
Elites are typically well-trained swordsmen in their culture, so combine that with their Energy Swords and they'll most likely win the close quarter battles.
Hunting Predators are extremely adept at stalking and tracking, if the Elites use their Active Camo, it just makes things easier. Plus, with the Plasma-Caster, all they need is one good shot at the Elites and they get the kill without ever initiating a CQB.
There's also this issue of stab-based weaponry being able to pop and penetrate the Energy Shields from the Combat Harness of an Elite, but I'm having my doubts about mentioning that because the last time a thread like this was around, that very issue nearly derailed the thread.
