"A LIE is a LIE"
- Truly intelligent and deep Black ops trailer
As we all know Bungie originally intended for CE to be an RTS, so it would make sense that Bungie would look to other RTS's like Starcraft for idea's and inspiration -
Starcraft had three golden races -
Terran, a military led government (basically the UNSC)
Protoss, a heavily religious race (Covenant)
and Zerg, and parasitic race (which are pretty much the Flood)
and the Xel naga - an extinct race with similar abilities to the Forerunners.
I wonder if Bungie plays starcraft II, I wanna know their league :P
