for me its the chimera. look at it. they fucking take over all of europe, and rape humans into chimera.

 


The Locust took over the entire planet, to the point where there are literally a few thousand humans left.  And they didn't even have to do it from space

 

I didn't like Resistance all that much, but the Chimera are cool.  I'd still say Locust, though because of the Boomers, Berserkers, RAAM, that evil lady who talks to them, Corpsers, and of course, the Brumaks XD



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

So far, I would say Chimera. But the tech demo of Gears 2 is showing actual swarming hoards of the locusts.... so maybe they will become more bad-ass in the future.



̶3̶R̶D̶   2ND! Place has never been so sweet.

The Locust win for one reason... The Krill. Those things are all sorts of pain in the ass. Not to mention the Corpsers, Berzerkers, etc.

I agree that the Krill are pretty badass, but then I must throw a counter-point in by talking about the Chimerian Spires that release the thousands of bugs that crawl inside and infect humans.

 

I like that there are tons of variety in the Chimera and I think they look more vicious with their eyes and teeth. The Locust are more muscular and such.

However, the one thing that pisses me off about the Chimera (and probably the Locust too) is that there is WAY too much mystery about them. Every weird thing about the Chimera were simply explained with something like "We have no idea" or "Chalk another one up to the mystery of the Chimera". With the Locust, my problem was that the story of Gears didn't really start out very strongly and it didn't really tell me that much. I felt like that akward guy sitting nearby while you're having a conversation with your friend and you don't know if that guy is trying to listen to you or not.

 The swarm was cool and all, but I didn't see much of a point in it. Unless they show differently, I'm going to guess that you'll be using some big weapon at a distance to take them out, you'll only be sneaking by the swarm, or only like 10 or so will break off to engage you while the rest keep moving.

I'm going to have to say the Locust because they took over the world and have the bezerkers, corpsers, kryll, and boomers. But I haven't played against the chimera so I don't know how they are.

There are two other possibilities I'd love to see happen: 1. You have one heavily defended point with only one entrance, and you must keep them from breaking through. 2. In an insanely large battlefield, you have just as many COG soldiers fighting alongside you Plus, we're not talking about the technical possibility, we're just talking about the Locust and Chimera themselves, with regard to the game world.

Now, my question is, who would win--a Boomer or a Covenant Hunter?
