What's your favorite game between those two?

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.

Hmm... since he won't be able to do it... done!

Starcraft. W3 is okay, and only you can prevent forest fires!

Grunt: Why do you keep clicking me?
Grunt: Don't you have a civilization to run?
Grunt: Ooooh! That was kind of nice.

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 prefer building giant armies over grinding your heroes.
