zdarko43 Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I'm sure many of you RTS fans have done your fair share of research on starcraft 2. now as well, as halo wars looks like its going to be a great game. RTS's are probably amongst my favorite game types, and i personally don't know which to choose. Starcraft is the game that started myself into the RTS world, as i'm sure it got many of you hooked as well. Can halo deliver and produce a game that can stand up to the sequel to the legend? I, for one, will probably purchase both games, but onlytime will tell which is the dominant game. Halo makes a great FPS, but will it be able to make a great RTS,too? (for those of you RTS= Real Time Strategy, FPS = First Person Shooter) How about this for a twist? what if starcraft decided to jump aboard the first person shooter game? and you played as a terran marine? I think a game like that would probably (at least) sell well. Whats everyones thoughts? Prediction Poll: Which will be the better RTS: Halo Wars, or Starcraft 2?

Slormer Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I will almost guarantee that StarCraft 2 will be better. Blizzard has been pumping out RTS's their whole time as a company, and all of them were friggin' god. How about this for a twist? what if starcraft decided to jump aboard the first person shooter game? and you played as a terran marine? I think a game like that would probably (at least) sell well. They were making StarCraft: Ghost, a third person shooter, and totally scrapped it, because they didn't like where it was going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zdarko43 Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 They were making StarCraft: Ghost, a third person shooter, and totally scrapped it, because they didn't like where it was going. being a ghost would be a thousand times cooler thana marine. damn. but that sux they canned the idea. but at least they recgonize when a game is goin downhill and pulling out before they decide to loose more money on it, put out an even worse game, and then poor credit added to their name. i can respect that, but i think they really ought to look into trying it out again.

TimmayTheTurtle Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 fuck dude starcraft 2 is going to be the fucking shit. i LOVE halo, but starcraft is just better at the rts from playing starcraft online like crazy :] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathbypig37x Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 fuck dude starcraft 2 is going to be the fucking shit. i LOVE halo, but starcraft is just better at the rts from playing starcraft online like crazy :] I'm glad you used big writing, now all the old people with bad eyesight can see your ignorance. JK LAWL IMO, I'd say Halo wars will be the better RTS because it will probably bbe the only one that can keep my attention and interest. I KNOW StarCraft 2 will be the better game, but Halo wars is the one that will do it for me, personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M7.Ninja Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Since Halo came out, I've come to know and accept it as a shooter. I'm still unsure if anyone can turn it into a decent RTS. Starcraft, I have no past experience with, so I cannot pass any judgement on it. I think only time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Odan Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Starcraft 2 will do better than Halo Wars. Sure, a lot of people will buy Halo Wars just because it's Halo. Blizzard has a lot more experience with RTS games and will not disappoint. Hell, Starcraft one is STILL played online after 10 years of it's release. It's like a sport in Korea...

zdarko43 Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 It's like a sport in Korea... lmaoya i got on it 2 months ago and i cant believe theres so many ppl on there still. yet u go on any xbl game a year old, its deserted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinkyf1re Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I still to this day play Starcraft:BroodWar on my mac SC2 will be 100 times better than HaloWars. And it will be the only non-360 game that i will buy in the next year. I rape with protoss goons+arbs=pwned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daggermn Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Halo wars for sure. Star Craft is so 9 years ago. That game was big back in the day, but I think it's done now. Time to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrex Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Halo is Halo no matter what type of game it is. I really would like a new RTS too... i never was old enough to get starcraft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zdarko43 Posted August 17, 2007 Author Share Posted August 17, 2007 i'm very surprised that halo wars currently is winning. but hey, i'll probably be the owner of both games. i just remember spending countless hours on my pc playing starcraft. but im very interested in seeing how halo wars will develop.

Spyponder Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I said Halo Wars because my computer isnt strong enough to run SC2 but I am way more into Halo. Ensemble Studios has been making AoE for years so I know it will be a quality product. Also, what about End War and World in Conflict. They both look great too.

Krueger Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 i dont really like the star craft series but im a huge fan of the halo series but i think it will be a close race between the two both look like solid rts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtzryD Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Im not sure. Ever since I switched to console gaming, ive been a Halo fan. However, SC programmers have a long history of RTS creations and will probably make a better game. Halo Wars prolly has a bigger budget though. Tough call for me.

russell1190 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I really don't like starcraft so i will have to go with Halo Wars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopesfall2win Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 (edited) If Halo Wars was on the PC, then it'd get my vote.. I didnt play Starcraft 1, but RTS is my favorite genre and I'd much rather play it on the PC.. With that said I'll try Halo Wars out on the 360, but i dont know how they can make the controls as easy as using macros and a mouse for the pc..i dont know what they'll do about the need for selecting a specific unit at any moment and getting around the map fast.. ________ Magic Flight Launch Box Edited May 7, 2011 by hopesfall2win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightmare975 Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Never played Starcraft. I wasn't a PC gamer when I was younger. It's all about Halo Wars for me, baby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zdarko43 Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 wow! it seems as though several of you havent yet played starcraft! you ppl really don't know what you'remissing. you dont even need the expansion pack. just the original game, you can find it anywhere brand new for like 20$ probably one of the most fun rts' ever. with that being said, i highly recommend it. and if you hate the game, then rts is not a game type you'd like, ever.

Drewdude1023 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 SC2 will be way better. Blizzard has made lots of RTS games, all of which have been instant classics. Plus, Bungie has not many any RTS ganes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Capitaine Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 obviously SC2 will be better. It's made to be an RTS. Blizzard has a lot of experience with RTS games. It's on a PC, which is MUCH better for RTS games. Whereas Halo Wars is trying to make an FPS game into the RTS genre, on a console. As for the poll, I voted Dont Know, as I will be purchasing both.
