Two totally different games for one. Both games improved and brought innovations to gaming. But for me, playing Halo was more enjoyable. To be honest, Starcraft and games of that nature stress me out. Maybe I shouldnt concentrate so hard but it seems like there is always so much going on. With Halo I coud always count on enjoying laying down the FLOOD with the trustee shotgun.!

I think it is difficult to compare two games in completely different genres. Voted Starcraft becuase I still play it online. I can't play Halo online because it drops out all the time.

I got bored with Starcraft and quit playing it. I played Halo all the way through and I still play it today.

Halo is my 2nd favorite game of all time next to the original Quake for PC. I've probably spent around 500 hours playing Halo and must have spent 1000s of hours online playing Quake. I would still play Quake today if other people were still into it. I love that game.

Man, you can't even begin to compare SC and Halo. They are two completely different games.

Unless of course you are talking about StarCraft: Ghost, which in that case, my vote goes to SC:G, b/c I hate Halo.

Oranges are WAY better than apples...but it is nice not to have to peel a fruit to eat it...

STARCRAFT, and better yet...WARCRAFT!!! can't wait for World of Warcraft to come out...

PS, starcraft and halo are apples and oranges...isnt halo first person shooter? and SC a micromanaging strategy game?

Kllr Wolf

Enven being a FPS gamer I voted for starcraft. I thougth halo totally blowed as a FPs for the computer. I have never played it on the console so cant judge that version of it. i have played starcraft a bit and between the two starcraft is the only one I would play again.

I don't think you guys are suppose to compare them. I think the creator are just asking which game do you like more. I think....

I voted for StarCraft.

The topic starter has a comparison in the first post in this thread. You can't ask which game people like better without a comparison. That's how ya find out which you like the best!

Halo,nothing better than killing the people that camp with sniper rifles.

Going to have to go with Starcraft on this one. As much as I liked Halo, Starcraft has about a thousand times more replay value, and the fact that it's still insanely popular five years after its original release is a testament to its quality.

Lasereth

Halo is still insanely popular as well. People in my dorm have a Halo Tournament every Saturday night of the year. They usually have over 10 people playing. Pretty damned neat! I'd join them more often, but my Halo has came and went.

i dont understand why you guys are calling this a stupid question. i think he's asking which game you play more, enjoy more, or would pick to play if that was the only game left to play in this world. its a rhetorical question. to me its hands down starcraft, can't really beat a game that still has over 100k users online at all time even after, what, 6-7 years?

MaGlC_MaN

a couple years ago i used to seriously do nothing but play starcraft. i would wake up, sit in my computer chair and play starcraft all day long only moving to use the bathroom or get more mountain dews to help keep me awake until about 8 A.M. every morning. i'd wake up at 4 or 5 P.M. the next day and do the exact same thing. this went on for around 3 or more years. i finally got a life and stopped doing that shit, but now that i'm in college when my roommate and i get bored (i can't play starcraft on the college network here) so we'll turn on the ol' xbox and fire up a few halo games over the network and rape everyone i play halo a SHITLOAD but nowhere near as much as i played starcraft. so, it was a tough decision for me, but i'm gonna have to go with starcraft on this. it was so much fun, i was seriously addicted to it. every now and then i miss that lifestyle, i had some good online friends and shit :P

Love both games - but is it fair comparing them since they're totally different types of games? I went with Starcraft anyways.

KellyC

Halo makes me dizzy....and I kept on losing to my little bro..which is not cool.

SC is where I dominate

So I vote for SC...can't wait for SC 2 to come out.

Starcraft introduced the concept of completely differing races and strategies into the genre of RTS. Halo introduced new graphics. And cars. But I think Starcraft did much more for the world of gaming.

Since this poll was inspired by the GameFAQs poll, let me be the first to inform everyone on how it went...

StarCraft started off with an early lead, then Halo pulled away for most of the day. At the end of the night, within the last hour I think, StarCraft came back and won the match by 373 votes. Here's the final result...

1 Halo - 56258 (49.83%)
16 StarCraft - 56631 (50.17%)

Halo is my favorite game of all time. The single player game is awesome, but Multiplayer is the game's true specialty. I love playing some Team CTF with all my friends, two XBOX's, two TV's, and a link cable. That, my friends, is the stuff dreams are made of.

starcraft, no discussion, halo is just so boring once you get down to it...

with starcraft you had the community and the loud discussions followed by dozens of games to prove your point...

Booboo

for those of you who said halo was overrated and boring once you beat it... you obviously never played online much, 8 v 8 ctf games are INTENSE, with good hosts you experience barely any lag if any.

And I am also a very experienced starcraft player, but for me halo just never gets old playing online, starcraft did(yes I played on bnet... I dont think I even finished the entire campeign). Though starcraft is one hell of a game and I still play it time to time.

Starcraft has stolen more of my life and time but Halo has been more entertaining. I lost my patience for Starcraft.

YaWhateva

Starcraft is possibly the best game ever to come out on pc and Halo is utter shit on console and pc. how can u compare the two? Oh and i love consoles so dont dismiss me as some sort of "FANBOY!!!!11111 ELOL!!!!!111111!1!1"

Starcraft is probably one of my favorite games of all time. Halo just felt like a generic FPS. My vote goes for Starcraft.

H12

This is kinda off-topic, but since there's alot of StarCraft fans here, I'll point this out: tomorrow at http://www.GameFAQs.com the site will have Starcraft (who beat Halo in the first round) facing Kingdom Hearts in a "Best. Game. Ever." contest. I just thought I'd point that out for everyone.

Halo has 100% on RottenTomatoes.com after 44 reviews. It has 97% on MetaCritic.com after a cubic asslode of professional reviews. You can like Starcraft more, but there's no denying that Halo is an outstanding game.

I just beat Halo PC, and I must say I couldnt wait till it was over, never in my life have a played such a overrated repetitive boring game like that in my life. I kept hoping it would get better as I went along, but it got worse, going through the same levels backwards???? WTF is that about?

Lasereth

The PC version is mediocre. The controls are FUBAR, and it runs like crap on most systems.

Microsoft forced Bungie to get Halo out for the XBox launch so the last few levels of the game are rehashed from the previous levels. They simply ran out of time.

there is denying it, because i hate it. simple as that. beat the damn game the hardest difficulty, legendary or whatever it is, and was bored out of my mind. My roommate begged me to play it because he loves that piece of crap and he wanted to get me liking it. Revolutionary my ass. worst FPS ever. Hell Goldeneye on the N64 kicked the shit out of Halo. Now that was a fun console FPS.

I agree with those that are saying it's apple's and oranges.

FPS vs RTS. How can you compare them? They aren't even made close to the same time frame.
