The Scenario: An Archeological team has gone missing on the island of Lingshan. Nomad and Raptor team have gone in search to find them. For Wolf, he has claimed Lingshan as his hunting ground in search of great prey when he spots a Lone Nanosuit in the form of Nomad. He decides to stalk his prey to learn more about him before taking him down. Thanks to the sensors on Nomads suit, he knows that something is stalking him and decides to draw it out. The hunt is now on.

Weapons and Equipment: Nomad is giving his Nanosuit 1 and full compliment of Human weapons to include a SCAR 6.8mm with 10, 40 round magazines, a shotgun with multiple reloads and a pistol with 5 magazines. There are numerous weapon caches about the island even one with a Gauss rifle in it.

For Wolf, He has his wrist computer and medicomp, two plasma Castors, 2 smart discs, wrist blades and powerpunch glove, combistick, net gun, his armor with cloak, motion detectors and vision modes.

Wildcard factor: The North Koreans are on the island but no North Korean Nanosuits. And while the other members of Raptor Team continue the mission without Nomad the Koreans can become an impediment to both of them.

Interpretation: Canon interpretation for both. Games, books, comics, movies. Lore over game, especially for Crysis.

Location: The island of Lingshan

Blood lusted: Both in Character.

Technical note: The Nanosuit can withstand a direct hit from the Plasma castor. At Maximum armor it can withstand 2 possibly 3. However, EMP feedback will temporarily disable the Nanosuit temporarily until it can regenerate. The armor weave is also capable of self regeneration and host regeneration as well. So if Nomad takes two hits and manages to safely disengage, but meets up again with Wolf, then his armor will likely be repaired.


Discuss.

If MJ was here he'd be whanking off like mad to the nanosuit and spouting some gibberish about posthuman singularity nanotech... :D

Now, humor aside, I think much of this will hinge upon sensor and stealth tech, and since some mud could block off the Pred thermal vision/scanner in the first movie then I think that the nanosuit might have a decent edge in that area.

It has been ages since I saw predator or played Crisis, but IMHO Nomad takes this.

He did that mainly for the N2 Nanosuit. The N1 was pretty much basic gear by Crysis standards, yet even it could pull off some ridiculous shit.

Each has an advantage that is kinda negated by the other. Nomad has a better cloak, but Wolf has better weapons. Nomad has limited energy reserves that need to be constantly recharged, so he has to use his abilities sparingly and strategically. Wolf does not, and the only way for Nomad to match (likely surpass his strength with the nanomuscle fibers) Is go Maximum strength, but he only has a few minutes of that strength. The N1 has great nightvision and a form of VISR tracking but no Thermal vision, which I find odd.

Nomad is an experienced soldier, but very young and a bit inexperienced (I think he's 25 and on his first major OP). Wolf is...old. He's been around a long while and hunted some of the most dangerous things imaginable, to include Xenomorphs.

So while I do favor Nomad, its really a coin toss.

Nomad might have to pull a Home alone style of combat against Wolf after the initial engagement. Wolf is a veteran of Hunts but he is still a Yautja. If he can manage to literally frustrate him and get under his skin sort to speak with antics (aka a shit ton of clever traps) He will get sloppy for pure anger sake. And that give Nomad the opening he needs to win. Still gonna be a close fight though.

Anyone else? I'd have thought this might generate some debate.

I'm trying to remember playing Nomad in Crysis and how often I got ambushed by the filthy Koreans and the like.... but I was a pretty cautious player IIRC. But I wasn't 'stealthy' moving. I was barely moving and creeping along IIRC (unless I had allies with me because I was one of those players who doesn't want his NPC's to die, whether UNSC or Half Life Security Guards or Crysis Marines). The thing is... I think my playstyle wouldn't work against the Hunting Predator from the first film.

Remember Duke Mac and Dillon tried to do the same approach on the Predator from the first film and they failed. Granted they didn't have stealth nanosuits that made them superhumans but I feel that even a Nanosuit would get borked by a Plasma Caster or a Disc.

*reads the OP*

Oh two or three shots and they are both aware of each other. I actually think Wolf Predator is a worse "Hunter" the 'Jungle Hunter' from the first movie. This isn't to say he's less capable in combat... I think Wolf Predator is a better combatant but in a case like this, I think Wolf's stalking/hunting tactics would come up short against Nomad even if he's 'inexperienced. If his first shot isn't lethal or debilitating to the point of allowing a lethal followup, that Nomad will take this. He has the cloak. His armor is somewhat resiliant to the Predators long range weapon and he can track and stalk Wolf to a degree.

It'll be tough though, the grenades I don't think would work too well. The Assault Rifle is his only weapon he starts out with that can damage Wolf Predator reliably so... Wolf Predator would have the advantage actually... unless Nomad can get a cache of better weapons like the Gauss Rifle which will allow him to reach out and touch Wolf in a complimentary manner.

Gosh... so I've gone from thinking Predator would win... to Nomad... to now thinking... it might be pretty close.

Actually I will give it to Wolf. Since Nomad doesn't have his higher tier weapons, Wolf should be able to engage and disengage more reliably then. The assault rifle might wound him but it's not something that one would rely on to engage a Predator in a shootout.

Not sure if the North Koreans would play a factor in favor of either side. If they did, it'd be against Nomad. Chances are they would engage Nomad more than the Wolf Predator I feel since he's easier to spot and engage (being on the ground, not swinging around like a monkey in the trees).

If other Nanosuit members join Nomad, the odds would dramatically shift in the Nanosuits favor. Two or more trained Nanosuit soldiers I think could more than match Wolf. Wolf Predator would be forced to retreat I feel which... if he's the hunter... is as good as defeat IMHO.

So yeah... Wolf Predator. General advantage from the beginning of the scenario.

Personally, I think its a close match that's extremely close to call. Any one factor could tip it in favor of either combatant. However, given that we've seen Predators defeated by men who didn't have the advantages the Nanosuit provides, and given that Nomad is at least as Good as Dutch is, given what he survived on Lingshan and later being hunted by CELL for over 20 years. I think I may give this match to Nomad 6 out of 10 times.

Yeah the only issue is that the North Koreans are still around. They wouldn't all be conveniently killed off like the Marxist guerrillas in the Predator movie...

Spoiler. 😛

Pretty sure between Jungle Hunter and Dutch's Team they were rendered non issue.
