Yeah, I mean I never really understood why you can't stop a Spire attack (I'd have thought flamethrowers would work on Crawlers, AA on the Spires themselves, and sealed armour would prevent infection, and I really can't see how they got to the crews of the US tanks in York when they were buttoned up) but I'm willing to accept it if they're consistent, but now we discover that apparently in the whole of Europe none of the millions who died ever tried just running away.

I can't say I like the Leviathan; for a start the level is pointlessly full of Strogg-like grossness none of which is actually linked to the room with the Leviathan in it, which seems to just have a people-pipe going into a random part of it. You'd have thought if it matched the other Chimeran conversion processes it would be a massive room full of bodies with a Spinner coccoon or one of the moth-like ones from the first game spun over it and the Leviathan developing inside, but I guess that wouldn't explain how he put the control modules in. Not that they explain how one man could possibly have installed those giant modules by himself without any equipment at all anyway, though.
