Anything else to say?

Also which do you prefer?

Um, what are you talking abut? SC is worlds more advanced than WC2 in the matters of gameplay, graphics, story, balance, and overall slickness.

Therefore I prefer Starcraft.

Well, in terms of gameplay and features, SC is the way to go, as it isn't as old as WC.

StarCraft is also better balanced than WarCraft. For example, in WC, there are the exact same 'types' of unit for both armies (Human and Orc), ie: Ogre/Ogre Mage or Knight/Paladin.

In StarCraft, each unit is different, complimenting that race's abilities. For example, the three base units (Human Marine, Zerg Zergling, and Protoss Zealot) have different stats. The Marine can attack ground AND air units right off the bat, while the Zerglings are very cheap (and you get two for the price of one). The Zealot is much more expensive, but you pay for what you get; it is more powerful than the other base units.

End result: get StarCraft if you have a choice. It is more challenging.

Also, starcraft is the better of the two multiplayer wise.

It all probably comes down to it being newer, and thus more advanced. I do like the way that you use different tactics depending on who you are.

------------------

Starcraft is just WAY more interesting. the graphics are far better and the storyline is more in-depth andmakes more sense.

Some parts of it are just amazing - you can't beat the look on somebody's face when 24 Protoss Carriers appear at their defences....

Except for the look on your face when he stasises all 24 of your carriers with one lousy arbiter, allowing him to bring in templar...

Except for the look on your face when he guessed you were going for carriers, made Scourges and some Defilers with plague and wiped out your doom fleet within seconds...

or:
Except for the look on your face when he EMP'ed your fleet, scanned for the Observer, killed it with a few wraiths, locked down a few carriers with cloaked ghosts and let his Wraiths do the rest?

I admit that the terran counter is not that elegant, you need to use Micro a lot.

Starcraft uses much more strategy. Whenever I played Warcraft I would just build and then smash. In Starcraft (with the exception of Big Game Hunters) their is strategy. And their is nothing in Warcraft like nuke the whales .

It seems like everyone is playing BGH nowadays, which is kinda annoying since it's a ruch map, and you hardly see any interesting strategies there.

Warcraft is medival, if not in this world while starcraft is futuristic and in Brood Wars Earth comes into affect. I have to say that both games are great, I played warcraft 1 and 2 first and they were lots of fun, but that really didn't cause of no variety of characters. Then I played Starcraft and at first I really couldn't care more or less, but as I played and got submersed in the plot I realized this was an extremely good game and that I was going to have to install all necessities around my computer. Starcraft is more balanced, better plot, has twists/turns, and better unt variety. An add on too your posts what do you look forward too WarCraft 3 or Starcraft 2?

I like the medival atmosphere of Warcraft, but Starcraft is certainly the better game. Never even played the full version, either... The demo is enough to speak for itself. One heck of a game...

Have they announced Starcraft 2 is comming out!?!?!?!?
I look forward to Warcraft 3 more, just because I have heard more of it, and seen lots of cool screenshots (talk about amazing). I love how their making Warcraft 3 more strategy. It's going to be great.

hm...i dont see how Starcraft can be improved other than graphic-and-missionwise



You can't attack units in stasis

BTW, starcraft is much better. More balanced, better graphics, better missions, etc.

Interesting! Last night I was talk to a friend about what he thought would come of a StarCraft 2. It was really tough cause Starcraft is so well balanced and entertaining that it really would be hard to change to be better. One radical thought was drop the characters and start clean with same concept, but thats harsh. 2nd add some super powers . 3rd add pirates and own mission set ans have them fit in. Here are a few more ideas.

1. Xel Naga brought into the picture
2. All units stats and graphics changed, but saty the same
3. More missions, units, maps, etc...
4. Dark Templar branch off more.
5. Earth brought into the picture fully.
6. Pirates
7. More emphasis on broods, tribes, squadrons...
8. Hippies on flying bongs!!!

Thats what we decided could and I'm still intrigued so add you two cents to the pot!

This is the reply that will end all the other replies. Starcraft is much better. It is much more challenging. The two sides on Warcraft 2 are too samey. In starcraft there are 3 races, meaning in skirmishes you can mind your own business while the other two duke it out. Then you come in and finish both sides.
One line summary: Starcraft is better. No more discussion.

Starcraft is most definatly ther better game. But war2 has it's good points.
I cant wait for starcraft2. Is it just me or does war3 look kinda 1 person Diablo type game, that one of the reasons why i playstarcraft and War2.

------------------
U TALKING TO ME HUH
ok ok i am sorry

Im almost sure that the Xel Naga or some other super race is going to be brought into SC 2. How do I know? Remember that crazy toss/zerg hybrid hidden mission in Brood War? Duran says he searves a power older and more powerful than Kerrigan. My conclusion: it has to be the Xel Naga.

I think that would probably be a good bet, considering the Xel Naga created both the Zerg and Protoss through their genetic experiments, so whats stopping them from continuing? My starcraft history is a bit rusty, but I believe they are still out there somewhere, unless the Zerg wiped them out, which is possible. Perhaps a return to clean up the mess they made is in order?

I liked the idea nikebro had about Pirates and the diversification of the various races. In Brood War, its ridiculous that the Terrans and the UED use the exact same units because the terrans have been isolated for a long time and the UED would have far superior technology, coming from Earth. It would be cool to see minor races at various points (like Pirates) that don't necessarily have mission strings but have small groups of separate, different units. That would certainly spice up Starcraft 2, if it ever comes out... I'm sure whatever blizzard does will kick ass, thats for sure, after all, Starcraft is one of the best PC games ever, both in terms of sales and popularity.. You still see it on shelves (In fact they have it at the Apple store in Connecticut) a good 3 or 4 years after it came out.

W3 is nothing like a 1 person Diablo game. It's much more like a Myth game where you have a 3D army that you kill other stuff with.

Another thing that leads to a sequal is that Raynor swore that he would kill kerrigan.

Starcraft is so much Fu***** better, because everything is not a eye for a eye, no Grunt/Footman thing. Also, you don't have to move to gather more minerals(like trees) and gas is like oil and gold. One thing that would make warcraft better was if you could have buildings on water(besides oil towers and one part way on shore)

Zing, Zang, Zoon. What
more can be said

you all just wait until warcraft 3 comes out, its gonna be infinitely better than starcraft.

I really don't Warcraft 3 looks really cool, but I still don't know cause I'm a little hesatint on buying it. It just s looks to much like diablo and less like a Strategy.

well, i think i understood that...
um, you must not have looked at it too recently, b/c it has changed quite a bit from the original plan, its total strategy now with some role-playing elements--heroes that gain levels and carry items. there is no doubt that it is a full rts game, even though they call it "rps". i personally like the new elements(creeps, neutrals, heroes etc), i think they set a new standard for the genre.
besides, there's nothing wrong with diablo.

No, No I've looked at the blizzard page today and pretty much every day just like the EVN Board, and I am really excited, but theres the fact that it has to live up to its name. Do you know how long they've delayed this and changed it to there liking? I mean its a good thing there spending time on it making it better, but I can't help feeling a little hesitant about Warcraft 3!

yeah, but blizzard delays all of their games that much and they always turn out to be awesome, so im not worried at all.

Well, there's at least two possible new races (Xel'Naga, Protoss/Zerg hybrid), and all the other stuff people mentioned (Raynor swearing to kill Kerrigan, etc).
