One: Are they intelligent?
Two: How in hells name are they going to survive? I mean, they are going up against tanks and Gunships. No matter how mutated it gets I seriously doubt a guni pig is going to survive its head explodeing.
1: Yes, rodents (especially rats) are already intelligant. The mutation makes them extremely intelligant, but the rodents usually only team up with members of their own species. Well, normal rats, if one goes into a trap, and gets captured, all the other rats never use that trap. The mutations make it so that then can miss the trap all together, spring the trap, or make their own trap. All the rodents are a medium amount smarter than the Raptors in JP3.
2:Well, the warships can't be used cause these things like deep cities, and the tanks an't be used for the same reason. Unless, of cource, a rat deicides to go out of the deep cities and on like the mainland. Well, their habitat is underground (usually subway) for the burrowers, for the bats in extremely tall skyscrapers, and the rest inside huge buildings. The bats are quite fragile, but if a chopper or plane goes up there, they can destroy them with their super advanced sonar by tracking them and flying in complecated manuvers. Underground is not really a good place for tanks. And Guinea Pigs can resist a LOT of fire power, their skin is very thick and they can destroy a tank if they wanted to. Now these aren't the pernament settlements, and this could take place in Rural as well as Urban, but it's mostly focused on Urban. Ships can be used as means of transportation for the rodents, but this isn't way too common. So ya.
ya, but I'd hate to see n00by post after n00by post saying "I ate a tank and went after some human in the middle of the dessert"
They started in the desert, but being the desert was quite close to LA, they crawled into it and recked it. Ok, so the main location is LA, and occasionaly in the desert. And, well, eating a tank... can't really happen. And you can be the human if you wanted to, and shoot dem all up. And if you want to go to a different part of the world, your either going to have to crawl there, fly there, burrow there or just stoyaway in a ship. Okay, one more vote and this can happen!
