Alright, the amount of necroes this thread is getting is stupid (4 already) for one that has yet to reach 200 posts. So please, stop necroing it.

I will not be posting the original topic material, but it is very irrevelant to SW. Right now, it's best for it to be removed or locked so that people will stop necroing it.

40k easily.

Starcraft and Warcraft both borrow from Games Workshop franchises.

In turn, Halo borrows from Starcraft and other sci-fi.

40K. Not by a few miles, but by a few light years.

Also, when I compare games, I throw in 40k even though its a board game. A game is a game is a game is a game, and 40k is a better game than starcraft or halo.

Easily Halowill_work4food

Work on your troll-fu. You're a bit too obvious.

I am officialy hijacking this topic. It is now the "Post awesome warhammer 40,000 art" thread. (no 56k)

Ahh, the iconic Ultramarine Throne photo. But seriously, Halo been here since 2001 with 3 games and a couple of books. And Starcraft only has a single game with some expansions. 40k is about 20 years with dozens of books and boardgames and other media. Is it really a fair comparison?

Warhammer 40K's universe is so ridiculously over powered and broken that it's just gotten silly.laughingman42

I like where this thread is going

Im saying starcraft, cuz I think its better than halos, and i havent played W40000Roushrsh

Warhammer is kinda like Starcraft except that starcraft was inspired by WH and WH has more races and everything is alot more badass powerful and just cool looking.

Poor poor Dreadnought.:P

I know of the Warhammer 4k universe, but personally its Starcraft. I shall explain it. I find it unfair anyways, being one is more than just video games.

Lore: Obviously Warhammer 4k has more content in this with it being around for ages and many many book etc., but even with the few installments, Starcraft has a good content for something around less. But really is it fair to battle against a Lore creates beyond and before video games.I know it has it own share of games, but those are tooken from the numberous history made for continous creation for a tabletop game series. Those other two are mainly video game based and its lore only come from that of installments.

2 Content - I am not quite sure what you mean by this, but I tell you what I think you mean. Both have a great deal of content because both the creator of Warhammer and the Blizzard place somuch importance in its lore/name/series/whatever. So equally are supplied with great care of content, being a long contender or a much shorter one.

3. Background - Isn't this pretty much looping term of same thing. Obviously Warhamner has a longer background because it been around longer. Both have great backgrounds thou.

4. Games - both bring great games to the RTS genre, each a must own RTS titles, each play drastically differently. Defense works better for one, and the other agressive nature is a must. Different RTS, each having great gameplay and long hours of enjoyment. I played the heck out of both, Starcraft being longer.

I picked Starcraft because I have more of conenction with it, its games, its lore and etc. Please don't bite my head off because I know what I got stacked against me.

Ok then..... no.3 is no longer a repeat.

You should really just take the poll down, if you've done any research you'd have found out Starcraft is based on Warhammer 40,000, they just never acquired the license and so had to thinly disguise it. Halo, similar situation, Ringworld & Starship Troopers, oh my. Warhammer 40,000 wins, it's not even a fair comparisson - it has had more depth since the Rogue Trader days, and continues to be more complex, deep, varied, and interesting.

A vote for anything else is an admission to being an uninformed idiot.

\o/

40k of course, no other universe can really compare to that gargantuan.

needs moar tau :)

Those of you voting Halo.....um....why?BobHipJames

Because of this post, in my case. I am oppositionally defiant.

AM NOT!

Warhammer 40k has nearly 3 decades of lore with dozens of top sci fi authors powering the novels..

Starcraft is a watered down version of Warhammer 40k, Zerg are the Tyranids, Terran are the humans, and protoss are the Eldar.. Its an incredaibly small scale of Warhammer 40k..

Halo has only been around for less then a decade.. Its main character is the most unimaginative character I have seen, and it is just chalk full of cliches on trying to save the universe.. The bad guys at least in game are a bunch of guys tthat scream a comedic phrases.. Marines in that game are a exact carbon copy of Aliens 2, no joke they are basically wearing the exact same fatigues and gear that the one from the movie had...

Warhammer 40k wins hands down its the largest scope universe I have seen that is far more unqiue then the other two..

[QUOTE="Makari"] Yeah, WH40K is the main inspiration for Starcraft, first and foremost.ProudLarry

Uhh no on both counts.. Marine armor in starcraft is alot more similar to Warhammer 40k then teh Starship troopers book one.. And ZERG are closer to Tyranids then Arachnids by far.. Arachnids didn't have instant evolving on the battlefield, both zerg and tyranids do.. Arachnids as the name implies consisted of all insect like creatures.. Zerg and Tyranids have very very few looking insect creatures.. Tyranids and Zerg had both space crafts, arachnids did not they only had spore colonies on meteors.. Tyranids and Zerg captured creatures from lif enad muttaated them creating new strains.. Arachnids never did such a thing int he books nor was there any inference that they did it..

Hey out of curiosity is that the "manskinner" in the back witht eh huge metal claw for the one hand.. I read the short story that involved killing that guy with the new omnibus they released "Let the Galaxy Burn".

Arachnids are intelligent race of insects that had lasers and built space ships, man. Not anything like the one in the movie that you're kind of describing. You sure you read the book?

Yes I did, and to my memory they did not have any space craft.. Only meteor colonies to collide into other planets to colonize.. I can't remember a single chapter/page in the book that talked about ship to ship combat between the arachnids. Its a fanastic book to get me wrong one of my favorites.

But yeah. 40K has the blatantly overpowererd units out of anything.But the dog soldier of the imperial guard is still the backbone of the the Imperial forces. That is what makes 40K so awsome. Yes you have your uber super soldiers, your screaming warp deamons but then you can also have some farmer from obscur world 35'000with only a rifle and some guts to kill the enemies of the emperor.

exclude Warhammer and we might have a contest ( althrough SC would win)

so Warhammer gets my vote

Starcraft by a large margin. Even though 40K has some of the most overpowered armies in Sci-Fi existence, the writing behind it is always piss poor and the lore is more influenced by wins at tournaments rather than a real need to improve the material.

And to those who keep spitting out the line "Well, 40k is better 'cause Warcraft and Starcraft copied from Games Workshop!", wrong. Warcraft was more heavily influenced by the Warhammer franchise than Starcraft, which took much of it's inspiration from Starship Troopers and the Aliens movies. Starcraft and 40K aren't even in the same genre, as 40K mix in fantasy elements where Starcraft is straightlaced traditional military sci-fi.

btw, there are 20 books about the Warhammer universe
