Anyway, with the Bacterium, not enough is spelled out with their power... (which is good, makes it that creepy "unknown factor") but makes accuratly predicting their effect on living creatures, or even how long it took it to assimilate the creatures is has now.
Honestly, if we could get them before they hit Earth, then they'd probably be nuked. On Earth, it depends on how desperate we get. If we're virtually screwed over, colony ships and scorched earth.

If the Kharaa tried to invade Earth, they'd get their scaly arses kicked. Too much open space. Even with TSA Frontiersmen level weapons, they'd be gunned down easily. With the full capabilities of modern weapons...
Think about how quickly a single grenade launcher can take out a wall of lame. Multiply it by ten. That's (at least) how powerful a <i>single</i> MLRS is. Please, the Kharaa wouldn't stand a chance.

The Kharaa would definitely own us in no time. Litterally. There would be bacterial spores spread across the planet , forming hives at unreachable places like the jungle or city sewers , and infecting most of the animal reign. With the quantities of food avaible in the jungle or in city sewers , the hives would be able to give birth to millions of skulks quite fast. As a few skulks are killed by hunters or security forces , the present Kharaa would diversify to the 5 lifeforms we know , including lerks gasing entire cities , gorges dropping offense chambers everywhere , and onos generally wreaking havoc. Heli's would be useless , a fade can blink to reach them and smash them and their crew with impunity. Tanks would be useless , bile bombs and acid rockets corroding its steel protection and skulks xenociding on it. Barracks and military headquarters would be bagged with webs and invaded by hordes of skulks , disorganizing any possible counterattack. The Kharaa would use movement chambers to defend an attacked hive and quickly overwhelm feeble attempts at sieging it.

Tanks don't need to be within 30 metres to fire. Bile bomb does.
The biggest reason why they'd lose badly is that they have to be very close. That's why they're such a threat on space stations. In a wide-open environment they'd get their scaly backsides kicked.

Erm. Tanks can't shoot lerks can they, in fact, can anything shoot lerks precisely?
Too fast for sniper rifles, too high and fast for MGs. I dont know, they can just spike and spore every human to death. I think without armour, one spike to the head is enough to kill.

Although a SAM wouldn't work on a Lerk, really. Not enough heat signature. But radar targeted guns would make very short work of Lerks. So would helicopters. Most tanks also have a mounted machinegun, which could be sprayed at Lerks.
What's a lerk going to do to damage a tank, anyway? They're airtight.
Many of you mentioned how poorly the TSA represents humanity and its weapons, have you thought about what weapons the Kharaa might have that arent shown in NS? If we have nukes, and it aint shown in NS, what the fr33kin hell does Kharaa have that isnt shown?!

Anyway, with the Bacterium, not enough is spelled out with their power... (which is good, makes it that creepy "unknown factor") but makes accuratly predicting their effect on living creatures, or even how long it took it to assimilate the creatures is has now.
