Anyone who thinks ensemble can beat blizzard at rts is nuts.

Anyone who thinks halo wars will be better than starcraft 2 is nuts.

Anyone who thinks halo wars will outsell starcraft 2 is nuts.

Seriously starcraft is the best RTS ever made and the definition of the genre. I can fire it up right now and play for 10 hours.

AOE and other ensemble games never had that spark.

This is a crazy topic.

I agree with the first 2 bolded

Third one not so much. Both the original Command & Conquer and Red Alert are better games In my opinion. Same goes for Warcraft 3 and Universe at War: Earth Assault. (Which is one of the best rts ever made period. Very underrated)

 

 

talking about play value, not FMV or Hero characters etc.  and also only talking about online.

no one plays rts for campaigns.

Try to read again.

 

Besides i play rts for campaigns. And i have a right to do so without you claiming that it's odd or anything of the like.

 

 

      I like to play rts games for campaigns also.

      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?

 

Please tell me this is a joke thread.

       I didn't post it as a joke thread.  I posted it in response to the Halo Wars versus KZ2 sales thread.

A console RTS against a PC RTS?

No contest really



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD

Starcraft II on both counts, I don't think it's really a question...

Sales thats obvious...

Quality.... that depends on what game

Diablo owns them all imo, and I know it's not an RTS.
BUT DIABLO STILL OWNZZZ.

 However some are speculating that Halo Wars will do for console rts' what Halo:  Combat Evolved did for console shooters.  And, if it does turn out to be that popular maybe it will come to PC like Halo I and 2, so that might add to its sales totals in the long run.  Also, from what I've seen of the graphics, I think Halo Wars looks better.

Starcraft 2 all the way, Halo Wars won't stand a chance.



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

Nothing to add here except; I 2nd this.

The only ones who could stand a chance at dethroning Blizzard as RTS king are Westwood in their prime but that studio died a long time ago.

That said, Firaxis owns them both as a strategy developer (Civilization 4) but that's hardly an RTS.
