Starcraft Vs Halo
August 20, 2008 by admin
UNIVERSE WARS!
A great suggestion from Mecha bob, We’re introducing a new series where the entire universe in regards to a franchise will be matched up against another great franchise - to determine the ultimate winner.
To kick things off, we’re going to start with one my all time favorite PC games, Starcraft. And YES, I’ve already reserved my copy of Starcraft 2. ANYWAYS - I think for the most part these two franchises are equal with one exception: The Halos.
Those are the gamebreakers and ultimately would be the weapon that can end the battle.
How do you think this clash would turn out?

fist post zurg more evil than the flood protos more advace than the covernet and the taren or ued (humen) more advace than halo humans
and all are more powerful halos get nuked by ghosts and game over for halo
using the halos are a stupid tactic as it would destroy all teh halo people as well….
Star craft has far more veriaty than the Halo universe in terms of types of unit I give this one to them
Well Devil you’re half right, they could evacuate the the humans to the Shield World throught the Ark wich is conveniently located on Earth, then remote detonate the rings from there.
Admin, I have a question. Is this the war torn Halo Universe where most of human civillization has already been destroyed or pre-human/covenant war? If it is pre-war are we assuming the Covenant and Flood are still in the fight just for the sake of argument?
I’d say for this argument it has to be the universe in which the video games reflect - and since Halo Wars hasn’t been released yet, it puts the ‘Halo’verse set from the original Halo game up through Halo 3.
Make sense?
Yes it does, in that case. StarCraft most likely wins by massively outnumbering the Halo universe
wode they be a big figh on earth cos
the ued live thire so wode they be two plants called earth
oh my two favorite sci fi series.
i know more about starcraft units so it goes to them.
it would be a nice fight though
Well, seeing as the weakest units of the humans in StarCraft (Terran Marines) are probably on par with masterchief (probably not as smart or strong as masterchief, but have better armour, and much more powerful weapons [Gauss guns, which in Halo terms, would be like a battle rifle rapidly firing ammo more powerful as the sniper rifle]).
The Flood are only really effective when they’ve infected large numbers of sentient life form, but the Zerg don’t have independent though (i.e. aren’t sentient), so unless the Flood break through the Zerg forces, and infect a cerebrate, they wont be able to do much.
And I don’t think I even need to mention the Protoss.
The only way the Halo armies might have a chance, is if they all join forces, and attack just one of the SC forces, before the other SC forces help, but that’s not likely to happen.
For example, if the Covenant and Halo Humans work together to sneak (or fight their way in) a few Floods in through the Zerg forces, and take over some cerebrates, then they’d have control of some of the Zerg army, and if they Flood-capture all the cerebrates, then they’ll have control of all the Zerg (assuming the Cerebrates don’t have an amazing immune system).
The with the Zerg on their side, they could probably take on one of the other StarCraft races (but not both), which they can use to feed the Flood, in order to take out the last StarCraft race.
It’s an incredibly long shot, and probably wont work.
StarCraft for the win!
Also, I think the Xel’naga temple can probably protect the StarCraft forces from the effect of the Halos, or some other Xel’naga tech.
It’s even possible that the Protoss could withstand it (especially with the abilities of the arbiters).
Archons could probably survive it as well, seeing as they’re energy, rather than biological lifeforms.
Also, if the Halos just create a shockwave, then the vessels of Starcraft can just warp past the shockwave.
The Rings blast isnt limited to just are realm it passes through Slipspace as well, so theres no evasion of it. The Forerunner thought of that. Plus we have no idea if its “just a shock wave” or not. As far as the game series goes it hasent be set off yet. All we know is it kills all sentient life in the galaxy, so far theres no if and or buts about it. You just die
There are many if and or buts about it.
The shield worlds show that there is escaping it.
The Protoss probably have a way to protect all of their units, especially with the abilities of the arbiters.
The Zerg aren’t exactly that sentient, so they’ll be more or less unaffected.
It doesn’t look too good for the terrans though, although they may end up destroying the Halo’s (or capturing them) before they get a chance to be activated (as the Halo forces are only going to activate them as a last resort).
First of all it destroy everything in our galaxy, the shield world is not in our Galaxy, thats how its protected. If you remember the start of the level when you first get to the shield world, you’ll here one of the soldiers say something like “Is that what I think it is?” If you look up you can see the Milky Way, which is our galaxy.
the elites could win in space combat. being master tacticians and all
Not to mention the Rings were designed to destroy the Flood which are also beieved to possess a hive mind like the Zerg. So of course it can kill them. Oh and they can be set off remotely from the Shield World, you dont have to go to each individual ring.
Damn I’m a geek. I’ve never realized it till just now either. **shakes head** I’m a Contractor for gods sake, how did I end up like this?
all 3 starcraft races have invisabe trops and interspace travel yes the zurg can go in to space
the zerg havemide can oley die by the hands of a dark teplra so halo can not win the war
no halo rings in the starcraft unvers so how will they work they dont
You’re thinking of the Ark, not the shield worlds.
And we don’t know exactly how the rings destroy sentient life, so saying that it can destroy everything with no way to defend against i is pure conjecture unless you have evidence to support your argument.
And where did you get the idea that it would also effect things in slipspace?
And if the rings could destroy the Zerg, then the flood wouldn’t be in any of the Halo games, because they would have all be destroyed when all the rings were first activated (100′000 years ago). But seeing as the Flood survived, the Zerg would easily be able to do so as well.
And although the Zerg cerebrates can be killed, they can come back to life again almost instantly.
The Zerg and Protoss are going to be fine against the effects of the rings, so what are the Halo forces going to do against it?
They wont have time to retreat all of their forces to the ark and shield worlds before the StarCraft races notice, so activating the Halo array will destroy most of their forces, and what remains wont be anywhere near as powerful as the Zerg and Protoss forces that survive.
The idea here is to blend the two universes, whatever Halo has it still has in this fight. Whatever StarCraft has, it still has in this fight. In the Halo universe the rings destroy everything, in this combined universe, they will still destoy everything.
Well in any case no matter what you say you aren’t capable of swaying my opinions about the rings destroying everything, but that beside the point. To be honest I don’t think they would have the chance to use the rings. Even if they did and wiped out all of the StarCraft people and creatures, it’s still mostly a loss because like 85ish% of the halo universe would be wiped out.
and that would suck.
Your ‘combined universe’ argument works both ways though, in the StarCraft universe cerebrates can only be killed by he energy of the dark templar, so in the combined universe they can only be killed by the energy of the dark templar.
And even in the Halo universe, the rings don’t destroy everything, seeing as the Flood are still alive after the first activation of the ring.
An if the ark is safe because it’s out of range, then warp space would also be safe, as it’s not even in he same dimension (which is also how the shields worlds can survive).
in the game the xel,naga can escape space and time it,s self so xel,naga can just come back if the other sc racers are killed by halo
The flood survived because they where prisoned in each of the halo rings ,so
Well obviously starcraft would win, the Protoss are more advanced and powerful than the convernant, The Zerg would own the humans and if Protoss and the Terrans have planet destorying abilitys be a quick war
[quote] planet destorying abilitys [/quote]
That raises a good point,
-The covenant have glassing, which takes hours, and a small fleet.
-The Protoss have a weapon that can raze a planet in one, seconds-long, shot.
Star craft sucks
someone enlighten me and tell me what starcraft is
Well its a computer game… just look it up on wikipedia
i dont even feel like saying anything more then starcraft is a cheap ripoff of 40k…i have never even looked up starcraft (well mabey once or twice) but i dont really care for it but if the whatever
Warhammer came from Starship Troopers, Warhammer 40k is a revamp of Warhammer, Alien versus Predator came from this, which in turn inspired the Starcraft games, which then led to the creation of the Warcraft universe, which became the inspiration for the Marathon series which Bungie recreated as Halo.
Halo must be the biggest, cheapest ripoff of the lot then.
yeah L-W i see more star wars in halo then alot…(marines almost look like a rebel soilder if you modifie them a little- brute wookie ha no diffrence…and even master cehif if you modifie him alot looks like boba fett…(but that one is debatable saying you have to modifie him alot…) but there are still many points them being alot the same…but thats beside the point…
but im not sure how long starship trooper is but i know 40k is old but i will trust your statment that star ship troopers was first as i have no hell in a way to bck me up…
I give this to Starcraft because Starcraft has the protoss which are more advanced than the Covenant and Humans by far.
well after reading how easily they can destroy a planet they can keep using it on all halo worlds until halo universe is a empty shell and the zerg would destroy there ships
good fight SC rines would pwn halo rines and the fact that toss is more smart than covenant is just stupid (that means you galen marek) think about it- the toss got ran off their own planet by stupid zerg so uh that was jus a dumb point you pointed. and about the fact that starship troopers made warhammer, you are another idiot(L-W) books on warhammer were made in the 80’s starship troopers in 98. also grunts in starship troopers look like WH40k IG not the other way around. also tyranids were the original sinister dumb alien race SC took zerg from WH40k.
anyway, choppers vs vultures would be the best ground brawl every one else would be a weak fight zerg pwns flood because they have more diverse units, elites and honor guard vs zealots and Dts is another great fight but goons and reavers would take out any and all armor covenant would use. terran vs halo humans would be just sad for halo humans, SC rines have crazy heavy armor and only spartans could handle them but spartans are in short supply and ghosts would priortize spartans to the top of their hit lists.the only great fights between the 2 worlds would be their air showdowns
the flood cantake on the zerg, the elites, hunters and high ranking brutes can take the protos, while the humans, grunts, jackals,and low ranking brutes fight the terrans. if they fought it out this way halo would win. oh……plus the sentinals can overwhelm everything cus of there high productuion speed. justin case the halo universe loses MC can activate the halos.
how about Halo universe vs the Gears of War universe
DizOner:
Starship Troopers is a science fiction novel by Robert A. Heinlein and was first published in 1959.

Man, your stupidity must feel so overwhelming right now. Damn, I’m surprised you can even breathe, let alone attempt to form coherent sentences after that third degree burn I gave you.
“Warhammer came from Starship Troopers, Warhammer 40k is a revamp of Warhammer, Alien versus Predator came from this, which in turn inspired the Starcraft games, which then led to the creation of the Warcraft universe, which became the inspiration for the Marathon series which Bungie recreated as Halo.”
I deffinitley see the logic, and the chonologic order of most of your statement witht exception of the first. I simply dont see ANY Starship Troopers in Warhammer (Fantasy). I always thought it was more influenced by Middle-Earth.
What relation is there to the SST novel?
Starship Troopers became the staple for the entire concept of the Warhammer caste; and practically every other science-fiction story created thereafter. To deny it is so deny every other piece of literature that followed.
Although if you read what I actually said, then you know what I mean when I say revamp. Starship Troopers became the influence for the 40K modcop, the concept of which existed befor the Warhammer fantasy setting which was a later edition to the White Dwarf series. It was not until later in the series did they divide the game between Fantasy and 40K, although originally it was a hybrid and not a seperate gaming series.
