Humans using stolen Predator technology in Shane Black's The Predator?

A game where you played an experienced Predator on a redemption mission after leaving Predator tech behind with Humanity after a failed hunting trip. The storyline of that game got me thinking about where Shane Black could take The Predator - what if Humans discovered tech left behind by the PREDATOR from the original film, and began developing their own tech and weapons from it?
Surely the tried and true formula of a group of hardened warriors facing a Predator or three in a remote jungle have been done to death. Predator 2 merely changed the setting, but used the same formula. You'll also remember though, that in Predator 2, the government was aware of the Predator and were already in the process of attempting to study its ways and adopt its technology.
Could The Predator show a similar plotline as the Concrete Jungle video game? Where by a Predator (or multiple Predators) are sent back to Earth to reclaim stolen tech? We already know The Predator takes place in current day, so the possibility of the film being set on a remote planet or on a space station is out of the question. This leaves Earth as the only viable setting and without recycling overused ideas, I feel this could be a great avenue the series could take. What do you think?
