I know there may be a Halo bias- but StarCraft is a damn good game. I played them extensively during two entirely different time periods, so I can't honestly say one is better than the other. I know they are entirely different, but they are similar in the respect that they were 2 of the best games ever made. The very best.

For me- I centered my life around StarCraft for about 3 and a half years. And Halo only defined my life for about a year and a half.

SC is amazing considering how old it is.

Going on playtime, Starcraft. But, there is no 2 on the horizon, and Ghost looks worse with each update and delay. So I'm gonna have to say Halo/Halo 2 wins.

Too bad Blizzard doesn't have useful forums. Only beta testing ones.

Its hard to compare a RTS game for the PC with a FPS for the Xbox. Starcraft was ahead of its time, but then, so was Halo.

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

If you notice... theres a ton of similarities.

Terran = Humans
Protoss = Covenant
Zerg = Flood

yea.

Yeah, What Perrin Said.

You can't really compare the two apples to apples. I love em both, but for different reasons. Now when Ghost comes out you might be able to compare them, but from what I have read about ghost, it will be more like splinter cell than halo.

I would say for my final verdict, equal love for the two.

I like Halo a lot, but I would say Starcraft has an edge on it.

What I mean is well, Halo and Starcraft are good in their own ways, each outperformes the other in certain aspects, but I just think that Starcraft was a little better than Halo.

Actually they have said that there is definitely going to be a StarCraft 2 in the future, but they never said when and the statement was very vague.

I'll believe it when I see it on store shelves. Blizzard doesn't seem to care about anything at present except WoW.

I'll be on my own side.

cant really compare the two.

I could see it know... Halo Vrs. Starcraft.
covenant elites kickin' protoss butt!
the Terran UED would be crushed by Halo's UEG.
The Flood Assimilate the Zerg!
The Forunner waste the Xel'Naga.

And the Master Chief kills Karagen and Zeratul!

Oh my goodness. Why do people even bother asking these questions on a Halo fansite? The result is a forgone conclusion. Even if you posted this question on a non Halo or non Starcraft website, it is a stupid question. They are two completely different games with two completely different styles. You may as well be comparing Halo with the latest uh..... football game.
