Hard to do if you're charging armies of FIREARM wielding enemies. Kinda like that scene in TDKR where the cops are just running down the street and only lose a couple of cops to gunfire. facepalm. They woulda been wiped out.

So, if you say the Locust could sink the ground...how would that affect an enemy that's airborne with battleships? How will the Locust defend spinner pods releasing hundreds of thousands of parasites that infect--in turn converting them into more enemies--every living organism in sight into the emergence holes (or even a sunken city). They'd have a hard time even getting out of the ground lol. Even the Chimera weapons are too advanced. They have guns that can shoot through walls and around corners, create shields deflecting any projectile, and grenades that propagate acres of fire.

Well there's a little problem called kryll that anything that consistently stays outside has to deal with. locust defeat spinner pods with oneshots, yes theres a reason they're called oneshots. so if tunnels get clogged, flammers just burn em out. Or just dig more tunnels, not hard for locust. Highly advanced tech is on the Chimairas side and the locust realize fighting conventionally might be disastrous. Just look at our wars as of late against 3rd world countries, more tech doesn't guarantee a victory.

Yeah locust have guns but leapers are fast and locust are slow with their firearms, they have big fancy guns but most of the time the locust who is using it is slow has no brains and no common sense in a gunfight I'll reply to the others later I have to go.

Kryll can not even be compared to the chimeran airborne ships kryll would be demolished by rockets,lazers,guns and bombs.

Dunno, never read a comic in my life. But if my planet was being taken over by hostile aliens/monsters, id be in the mindset to kill em all.
The chimera could have just ended the war by launching spires everywhere the only reason the chimera did not do that is because that would be the stupidest ( Yes I know stupidest is really a real word ) fps ever if anything, that's how they can end the war between locust and chimera that way.

I don't see what this has to do with anything.

Don't you deal with these "overwhelming odds" ALONE in the game?

Uhh... you sure about that? You may want to reexamine that claim. http://www.killermovies.com/forums/f85/t581868.html

Airborne enemies can't do shit on a subterranean level. As for your "virus", again, we've been over this. There's no guarantee that it will have any effect on them. The Locust grew up surrounded by a parasite, unbeknownst to them, and still they endured. That's something the Chimera would also have to deal with.

You're on Locust turf. Getting out isn't exactly a problem for them. They can be anywhere at any time, which gives them a tremendous tactical advantage.

You're still arguing tech superiority after affirming my claim to the Locust using it against them? They're a guerilla force, so they most likely would. The Locust now have two arsenals (though one limited) to work with. I don't remember the Chimera using anyone else's weapons, so I don't think the same can be said for them.

Yay! Hopefully we can continue this in a civil manner that doesn't involve the assignment of pointless labels that help neither side win the war.

You know that argument you keep making for leapers? Yeah... think about that.

So in other words... PIS? BTW, I just went over this... again. *rolls eyes*

The virus would most likely convert locust into chimera I doubt the locust have a resistance to it and locust can use chimera weapons but are not skilled or smart enough to do so, most locust branches are... pretty stupid when it comes to a gun fight.

wow leapers have sheer numbers you fail to understand that and they can swarm good unlike the kryll
and the chimera could have beat the humans if the humans were not the "good guys" of resistance.

You mind telling me how? Who says the Kryll are bad at swarming? They're practically omniscient, keeping the night skies covered. They're on your ass the moment you step out of the light. I'd love to see leapers do the same. Chimera would essentially have to wait it out.

As for the "good guys" comment: EXACTLY! PIS (Plot-Induced Stupidity). Based on what you're saying anyways.

Say the Locust are susceptible, the Chimera still have Lambency to deal with. Your virus is overruled either way.

Their intelligence is outmatched, yes, but the Locust have tactical superiority here. And to say they don't know how to fight is laughable. They're a militarized race, so they have fighting down.

Ummm....When have you seen Locust being slow with firearms? And if they have no common sense, how are they pressing on against the might of the CoG? Locust take aim, locust pull trigger, leapers die.

Lulz, Thats even worse.

Tell you what. Go kick a rather large wasp nest AT NIGHT and try to shoot them down wth a rapid fire bb gun. Same scenario. You'll take down some but get overwelmed.

In which case Resistance seems to have a serious plot hole. But whatever, oneshot ftw. And if the protags in Resistance can take down spires, no question a hardened Locust army can do the same.

Ah, yes. We were just talking about plot holes, which BTW, is shit reasoning for trying to prove a point. Essentially, you're saying this: "The Chimera win because they DIDN'T BEAT THE HUMANS by doing something as simple as this." In which case, you may want to explain that to me. If you can't, then I see no reason for it to change.
