Palpatine discovers a backwater planet (Earth) and orders Vader and the Endor Stormtroopers to take the system, but have vague intelligence on Earth's troops training (especially Task Force 141 and 75th Rangers). Stormtroopers are equipped with standard weapons and AT-STs (no air support or bombardment from space). MW2 are armed with the weapons seen (in game) and same heroes. Does the Empire take Earth or fail?

This is what the Empire will face: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxWbbzqRALU

Bye bye Earth.

Ewoks beat the Stormies... Earth wins easily.

/sarcasm (HWKN)

Aaaah flashbacks!! Aaaaaaaaaaaah facepalms!!!!!

earth does win this. Its just the Endor forces.

yeh Earth wins


AC-130s FTW

Earth stomp.

Put three AT-AT's in there and Earth dies horribly..

Im thinkin a couple tactical nukes would take them out ;-)

I'm thinking anything with more kinetic energy than two logs.

Earth wouldn't bother with nukes.. their too dangerous and if the Empire lands in a city... Well, but then again... there was Hiroshima and Nagasaki but I doubt anyone in this day and age would authorize any such use of power.

Unless your name ends with Il.

I cant think of anything Earth has that would take them out, short of nuclear weapons


Otherwise they just go shoot them

W-Why would anyone think that a nuke would be nescesarry to destroy an AT-AT? T-That would be overkill. A couple missiles would probably make that top heavy summabitch just topple over.

Grenades... or Wire cords.

Well, im thinkin of the facts
A) thermal detonators have FAR more explosive power than m-67s
B)there is a helluva lotta armor on them things, im not sure if a cruise m9issile could take one out

tripping them gets her done.

Seriously, cords tripped them. Granted they were probably made of some Star Wars material, but the AT-AT's weren't using their ultra powerful shields or super strong armor to propel themselves. They still have mass and they still propel themselves at 60km/h. We don't even need to break their armor or shielding, just trip them. The Empire doesn't have the ground strength needed to conquer Earth (number notwithstanding).

that was the only scene in SW where we ever saw AT-AT's wasn't it?

There was one guarding the landing pad in RotJ. It dropped Luke off to Vader. It was conveniently forgotten later.

Yes.. Cord... btw, those cords had to wrap around the legs and they had snowspeeders for that. I doubt a Helicopter or F-22 would be suitable.

Aaaand... why do you say that?

Prolly cuz those cords werent steel, fiber glass, or anything we have on Earth, something far stronger and specifically designed to take down huge stuff by tripping them

You could have a walker made of diamond, but a taught enough cord wrapped around its legs will still trip it. It's not the material that the walker's made of, its the power behind its legs. If it's not enough to break the cord (60km/h max, unlikely) then it will trip.
