      Starcraft II and Halo Wars seem to be the most talked about rts games of the moment.  Which one do you think will sell the most copies and which one will be the better game?

 

SC2 hands down. I'm a big Halo fan, and and a big RTS fan, and I can say there's no way Halo Wars will be as good as SC2. I'm looking forward to both, and they're 2 of my 3 most anticipated games of the year, but I can say objectively that

1) PC is theconsole of choice for RTS, no question. A mouse and keyboard offer the best RTS experience, noone disagrees with this.

2) Blizzard are the undisputed Kings of RTS. King may not even be a strong enough title. Whoever kings answer to, that is what Blizzard is to RTS games.

In short, even if Ensemble does RTS the best it possibly can be done on a console, Sc2, without innovation, just updated to what is expected of 2009, will be better. That said, if Halo Wars comes out for the PC as well, maybe it can give SC a run for its money. Not sales wise, of course. The Blizzard name + StarCraft reputation will ensure SC2 sells obscene amounts. But Halo Wars has the potential to be a better experience on the PC. (But doubtful)
