HAHHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHH!
Ah.
Starcraft II >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Halo Wars in both quality and sales.
Halo Wars is a console RTS. Starcraft II is a PC RTS. Ensemble are very good developers. Blizzard are legendary developers. No contest.

The best RTS ever made is Total Annihilation, Starcraft comes in second/third position depending on how you consider Warcraft 3... Now I wouldn't diminish Halo Wars to much.. it is not a RTS on console but a console-RTS with a big brand name and a consequent install base. Figures will be very interesting indeed ! PS: Note that 360 fans have the decency not to literally skins this forum with HW signature,ads,video, posts, review, silly blogs comments ... unlike the KZ2 support group...

All that means is that they're not hyped for it. If it offends you so much, don't go into the Sony forum. Are you telling me that if Halo Wars was an FPS, it wouldn't be getting double the hype that Killzone 2 gets?

Oh man I feel like this whole discussion is leading into one huge BLizzard vs Ensemble fight. Esmeble minus Halo Wars sthat is.

SC2 will sell more IMO, but I always liked Age of Empires better than Starcraft. I'm going to say Halo Wars.
Korea...
That's all I have to say.
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

Um, I hate to burst your bubble, but Starcraft II looks like an expansion pack for Starcraft (with prettier graphics I spose)
That said, I don't think Halo Wars will be great.
No, the best RTS in 2009 will be a surprise. If BFME3 is released in 09 then we have a clear winner |
I hate to burst your bubble, but even if it was just a new expansion, it would still be the best rts of the year.
Last year's game of the year turned out to be Silent Hill : Shattered Memories (online GOTY was COD 6). This year's GOTY leader to me is Heavy Rain.

@ scottie: name a sequel that wasn't just an sort-of-expansion?
As if AoE2 and AoE3 weren't just graphically stronger with some different units, but with the same core tactic to it.
If that's your reason to bash SC, then you must really hate games like Halo 2, Halo 3, GoW2, fable II, Resistance2, motorstorm 2, Anno-series, Ratchet and clank series, GTA series, and all that.
Even comparing the two in sales is crazy talk. Of course StarCraft II will sell more. Halo Wars will not even have a chance.
I highly want both, but the higher seller is clearly going to be SCII. To think otherwise is just letting personal preference severely cloud your thinking.

Okay the answer the OP question : Starcraft II on both counts.
On the Starcraft vs. other RTSs debate:
Starcraft is the best RTS ever. It achieved near perfect balance of the three factions without resorting to making all races basically the same. The balance between micromanagement and macromanagement is also perfect. The pace is fast and the rock-paper-scissors system makes sure you won't automatically win by massing one type of unit.
Signature goes here!
| Pyramid Head said: 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. |
While I agree with you, let's not ignore Ensemble's impressive creative talent. They're one of the best RTS developers out there and Halo Wars should be decent.
On the other hand, it's going against Blizzard, the best RTS developer on the planet.
