Give your source instead of merely a claim.

I haven't seen the movie yet but I get the impression that the indoraptor doesn't even like itself, let alone other dinosaurs

And you know that how exactly?

He probably watched walking with dinosaurs and instantly assumed that's what they were like.

no evidence but it is believed to have had, is still stupid either way since Spino and Giga can be with another as well as the rest off the medium carnivores

Haha but Even in walking with dinosaurs, they DON'T hunt in packs, they mobbed a weak Diplodocus and fought with each other over it. That wasn't pack hunting, that was Komodo-Dragon style mobbing

the massive amounts of fossils found together can easily be explained as a predator trap, just like the La Brea Tar pits. Predators go to a trapped herbivore, get trapped, and draw more predators (as shown in walking with dinosaurs as well)

Umm walking with dinosaurs clearly shows two Alli's hunting with each other

[Dave]

Hunting and being with the SAME dinos = SOCIAL
Just being around any other dinos = POPULATION

[Jynn]

but ultimately, there are few incidences of pack hunting in predators =P the vast majority of predators are solitary barring a few special cases, most of which are mammals

there just isn't a lot of evidence for pack hunting in predatory dinosaurs beyond a few species, and Allosaurus bone beds can be explained as predator traps and not pack hunting, same as raptor bone beds

but hey, it's all speculation in the end. There's just more evidence for solitary life styles

As the most abundant large predator in the Morrison Formation, Allosaurus was at the top of the food chain, probably preying on contemporaneous large herbivorous dinosaurs, and perhaps even other predators. Potential prey included ornithopods, stegosaurids, and sauropods. Some paleontologists interpret Allosaurus as having had cooperative social behavior, and hunting in packs, while others believe individuals may have been aggressive toward each other, and that congregations of this genus are the result of lone individuals feeding on the same carcasses. It may have attacked large prey by ambush, using its upper jaw like a hatchet.

As for my opinion, It does not seem likely that the most common apex predator would be a pack hunter, as that would quite quickly hunt and kill most of the food in an area... that said it's not unlikely for them to go after large sauropods in packs.

No one has seen a real live dino from 65M years ago walking around today. Yes birds are decended from some of the dinos, but I dont see bird behavior = dino behavior.

So we can only GUESS at their behavior based on modern animals living now and then think how an animal, or a dino in this case, would have behaved 65M years ago

So that's why Im ok with a game taking "creative license"

Where i would have an issue would be if it strayed from the movies as the game is BASED on the JP/JW "universe"

So if carnies in the movie attack and kill EVERYTHING in their path.. then the dinos in the game should do that too - even if that goes against scientific data

This is a JP/JW game - not a "generic dino simulation game"

So the Allosaurus should behave the way it did in whatever MOVIE it was in

Now if the game has dinos not in any movie.. well then it would have to behave however the contract with universal studios told Frontier they wanted certain dinos to behavior... abesnt ALL THAT.. then the dino would have to fall back to scentific standards.

Could of atleast been 2 at once. The giga and spino get to be in 2's..

I don't know about realism, but Jurassic Park dinos have never been realistic anyway. The modern concensus on raptors, for instance, is that they were loners who occasionally worked together to take down larger prey. Sort of like the komodo dragons Jynn mentioned. They're no longer believed to be the social creatures shown in the movies.
