I like Starcraft Brood War little better then Warcraft, in my opinion. |

Starcraft is better because Warcraft 3 tried to do 3D graphics and made it uglier than ever (just my opinion, it's like Emperor, Battle for Dune on ultra-low setting). Plus, I just like the gameplay of Starcraft better. |

I'm in favour of Warcraft III because when I used to play these games at home on 28.8k internet, Warcraft III had significantly less lag, and hence has fonder memories. |

Maybe because there were less units in the game? I've never gotten into the lower unit caps and the high upkeep strategy part of WarCraft 3. I'm definitely more of a StarCraft person. |

Yeah, I think the lower unit caps was part of it. But still, I seem to think that starcraft was laggier even in the early stages in the game when the unit cap didn't apply. Perhaps the networking of warcraft III was just more efficient. |

I prefer Warcraft III over StarCraft. Although that didn't use to be the case. I think the fact that so many people make online play on StarCraft not worth it really made the game less fun. Also, I like the High Upkeep strategy of Warcraft III, it just seemed to make sense, and gave you the idea you were actually running your own army. |

I have to vote Starcraft just becues you included WoW in the warcraft option. Honstly tho RTSs are not my thing and neither is blizard so i whould rather play nothing :p |

Why are you trying to compare a "role playing game" to a strategy game? Seriously, get rid of WoW. |

Starcraft. It's a really fast paced game with 3 completely different races that require completely different strategies. And overall starcraft is well balanced. The thing that bugs me about W3 is that the night elves feel really "cheap". They seem too overpowering. Also Your population doesn't grow that high in W3. And IMO the whole unkeep thing really doesn't do much, since by the time you do get that far in the game you should already have established a few expansions. Starcraft is legendary. Time for Operation: Can't Wait Any Longer for SC2. |

I'd say the opposite: because of the huge unit cap, Starcraft is more about building giant armies than Warcraft III is. I really like the idea of heroes in wc3. Also, I played night elves and ever since that patch where huntresses got unarmed armour type, I really felt like night elves could get owned early game. Mass riflemen or those crypt spider guys and a night elf has little to do but go for mountain giants, which takes significant time. |

I love Starcraft much more than WarCraft. the only thing is simply this for me : while starcraft has better overall gameplay and better... everything... it can be a bit rigged. if you are protoss and playing against the zerg, you win. if you can tough it out till the end, you just build 12 carriers, and it's done. no contest. I think that it's harder to do that in warcraft. you can't really win by sending in an armada of... knights. you know? or Griffins. |

Isn't coming at your enemy fast a major part of playing Zerg? |

| Author: | Hackmaster [ Thu Sep 20, 2007 4:11 pm ] |
| Post subject: | Re: Starcraft vs. Warcraft! |
yes. for sure. but I think it's a bit unbalanced, because one cannon can take out a zergling rush. a single zerg "stabby thing" can't take out 12 zealots. that's all. the terrans vs the other 2 are balanced, but I think that protoss vs zerg can be kind of rigged. |

How many zerglings do you send in? When starting in a PvZ game, the protoss are very vulnerable. You may need to use builders to defend your self from zerglings. Usually I just run past base defenses (unless they have caved them selves in). It's very effective. Carriers can easily be taken out with the hydra/defiler combo. |

| Post subject: | Re: Starcraft vs. Warcraft! |
your basic erg rush is called 6pool- so basically it means you make a spawnpool and then 6 zerglings. this is fairly easy to protect for terran you just need 2 marines in a bunker and your fine. for protoss 3 zealots will do fine. for example. zerg is not weak against protoss in regular starcraft they were but everything is more balanced out in broodwar. for example using a defiler and devourers can take out carriers fast. in general if protoss tries to rush zerg with zealots, zerg can just build 2 sunken colonies and 4 zerglings and they are fine. both teams are fairly even, the secret to wining is expand as fast as possbile and buildup your army and always upgrade!!! -mg- |

Devourers versus carries? Isn't one of the stengths of the devourer to slow the attack speed of the unit they hit? But in this case, the unit they (should) hit is a carrier, which doesn't attack at all. |

which is the beauty of the carriers. they never get attacked unless they are consciously targeted. the bloody ghosts can lock them down pretty well, but in terms of devourers, the interceptors get hit. they aren't very useful to attack carriers with  |

Is Terran Battlecruisers stronger, or weaker then Protoss Carriers? When I see those two fighting units, they both looks about the same strength. Battlecruisers have the ability to shoot the Yamato Gun, but unfortunately, the energy involved in it is very limited. So, which is better--Battlecruisers OR Carriers? |
|
| Author: | Cervantes [ Sun Sep 23, 2007 11:11 pm ] |
| Post subject: | RE:Starcraft vs. Warcraft! |
I'm going to say Battlecruisers are more powerful because they cost 50 more minerals and gas and are built 20 seconds slower, so says this versus this. |

Will a battlecruiser take out a carrier .... yes. But thats if and only if the player tells the battlecruiser to go after the mothership. If you just take ur fleet of battlecruisers and send them on 'attack-move' towards an oncoming fleet of carriers, they're gonna lose because of the several interceptors that distract them. |

ah but with arbiter, it can render BC's useless, and usualy you have more than one, and u statis freeze ghosts firsts and then take out their weaker stuff, personaly the best way is to sen observers and see what the guy has, and then take out any threat to your air, such as ghosts are weak against templar (just psionic storm them) and ur doing fine |

Starcraft for sure. The balance of the game, the beautiful 2D graphics - the great LAN parties I've had. Not too mention the online Custom Maps, like Turrent Defence, or RPGs, etc. |
