So gentlemen, we had Killzone 3 vs Gears of war 3, but who do you find to be a better villain? In everything from story to characters and personalities.

Helghast- Or Locust

the locust were terrifying, until you learned that in fact are merely "desperate" and that they were loosing to the lambent. when will videogame creators learn that the less we know about an enemy the more terrifying he is?

Helghast easily, something about that "SS" connection makes them the perfect villain.

Helghast. The Locust think they'd be able to tunnel under a Helghast city just to find out...the Helghast are already waiting there with lighting-throwing guns.

And even IF the Locust could make it under one of the Helghast cities...the Higs would just nuke themselves to spit in the faces of the locust.

Also, Helghast Scout is cooler than anything the Locust has at it's disposal.

I find the locust to be more... I don't know,I think that Epic did a better job creating the locust than Geurilla did making Helghast, it's as if the Locust are more fleshed out and are more of an actual threat because they are mysterious and not even remotely human. Helghast are cooler but Locust are just better IMO

Brumaks would be a hard fight for the Helghan army, but when 1000 volts of electricty are discharged at one, well things wont be pretty for him.

Until a Helghast Saboteur jumps on one of their backs, and rides it against the Locust. If that idiot Marcus could so it, I'm sure a Hig could do it, too.

But we all know the Manatee in your sig would own them both...AT THE SAME TIME!!!!! o_O

I don't know much about the locust but the Hellghast were inspired by the fascist regimes of World War 2 but hundreds of years in the future, they're mutated human beings, a different race entirely and proud and loyal to their totalitarian regime, so I'll go with them

Helghast are just wickedly designed; coal-black with glowing red eyes is just intimidating. There's something about them that reminds me of the Sardukaur from the Dune series: born and raised on a hellish planet might have something to do with it.

The only problem with Helghasts is that aside from Radec and snipers they all look really alike.

The Helghast is a band of about 4 different costumed bandits while the Locust is more of species with different looking and acting members.

Gotta go with Locust, they seem more real.

Losing electricty wouldnt change much considering they are mutated humans and are superior to normal humans in every way.

Corrected myself. Apparently the Light-Mass bomb killed them all off. Cliffy B said this for his reasoning why they weren't in GeOW2 (course, this could just be rumor).

There's at least SOME originality to the Locust with their different creature designs, the Helgan are merely space Nazis. Locust easily.

Locusts come under the ground, right? If I'm right, I go with them. Coming from under the ground is a pretty pimpin' entrance if I do say so myself.

The Helghast are effectively British Space Nazis. The Helghast are the better villains. :P

Seriously though, as AgentA-Mi6 said, the Helghast were inspired by the fascist regimes of the 20th century, only flung into the future. I personally find them to be far more intimidating than the Locust.

Also, the Helghast power their cities with a mineral ore that produces an obscene amount of energy with just a small fragment. To power down even a single city would mean having to find a way to get rid of the mineral, which the planet is made from.

Space Nazis or not that's what makes them that perfect villain. We have never seen an enemy more devastating than the Nazi's.

That is the perfect villain.

That was the Krylls. I think the Berserkers were mating to keep the population high. Not sure though.

If they are more of a species then why would they have different looking members. That doesnt seem very real to me.
