I was playing Siege mode last night and was in Cat and Mouse game with a Pred.
I dropped my Scanner and rounded the corner when he picked off a team mate and then cloaked.  He ran off so quick I couldn't figure out where he went.  In the confusion of looking for him, I didn't notice that my scanner when dead and when I circled back to where I dropped it.  It took me a split second to realized that the Pred was standing right on top of where the scanner should be.  It was dark so it was hard to see.
It was a combination of startled reaction and instinct.  I unloaded with my Heat Cannon and Grenade and got the first hit on him which sent him running.  I killed him as he ran away with a great view of his back side.
It was sweet justice because I know he had to have stood there for the split seconded just looking at me and waiting for the best time to Drop an Alpha Strike on me.  
I was lucky enough to beat him to the punch.  The Pred was a good sport about it and we both laughed it off. I don't know who was more startled me or him....
Hope I see you around.   You will find me in Siege Mode.
