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

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?

Yes it does, in that case. StarCraft most likely wins by massively outnumbering the Halo universe

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

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

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.

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?

the zerg havemide can oley die by the hands of a dark teplra so halo can not win the war

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.

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.

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

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

Star craft sucks

Well its a computer game… just look it up on wikipedia

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.

I give this to Starcraft because Starcraft has the protoss which are more advanced than the Covenant and Humans by far.

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

DizOner:

Starship Troopers is a science fiction novel by Robert A. Heinlein and was first published in 1959.

…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.

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.

This is easy for Starcraft.

Protoss ships can crack planets apart and have better soldiers. I doubt the flood can do anything to the Zerg due to the fact that they are under control by Kerigan or the Overmind depending on the timeline, and since the overmind can resurrect cerebrates, I believe that if a mental fight happend between the Gravemind and the Overmind on who controls what(flood infested zerg or zerg infested flood), the Overmind would win. Im not sure about Kerrigan though. The Yamato canon is more powerful than MAC rounds since one Yamato shot destroys battlecruisers.

Also, the terrans have vehicles and such that could handle Covenant and UNSC vehicles. If they wanted to avoid being glassed by the Covenant, they could always set a base on one of the Halos.

if I recall warhammer isn’t copy at least the board game isn’t which actually came a bit before starship troopers and the tyranids are nothing like the aracnid warriors just because there a hive so what alot of alien parasites are hive based just because starship troopers was the first doesn’t mean everything else that includes a hive based alien and an earth force is a copy belive what you want but most video games are original

Actually, it itsn’t too close. The Terrans do have planet-busting weapons and other military baddies. Plus the battle on land is definitely a curb stomp.

Considering the immense difference in tech between the two, I have to say this one goes to SC. And from what I’ve seen and heard about how the Flood infects beings, they be screwed against the Zerg.

Under current factpile forum rules we have to take the most current incarnation so seeins as both the Xel’naga and the Forerunners are dead then they have no say in this fight. The wording is a bit unclear to me so if I could get clearification I would appreciate it. Though, even if we do include the Xel’naga and the Forerunners we never actually see the full capabilities of either so both are at this time unquantifiable and any capabilities they would have are purely conjecture and cannot actually be verified.

Now on the StarCraft side we two mechanicle based technology groups, the Protoss and the Terrans. While the tech of both have comparable counterparts within the Halo series, both the Terrans and the Protoss have tech that would prove troublesome for the Halo team. The Terrans and the Protoss both have the abilitie to disable enemy ships/units in some fashion, the Terrans with either the Science Vessel’s EMP wave or the Ghost’s Lockdown ability, and the Protoss with the Arbiter’s Stasis ability. Now while both the Star Craft groups and the Halo groups have cloaking abilities all three Star Craft races have the capability to detect and defend against cloaked enemies, something that the Halo races are not shown to have.

The Halo and the Star Craft universes, also have races that are both far more base upon biotechnology, the Flood and the Zerg respectively. Now while both gain units by the infestation and mutation of DNA they both go about this very differently. While the Flood have to reinfect new hosts and are unable to actually produce combat units with the use of a host, the Zerg are not so limited. While the Zerg are unable to instantly take a species DNA and will beable to use it instantaneously, as seen with Infested Terrans, they are able to store and work with it to the point where they are eventually able to produce the various combat and support species with out having to constantly recapture that base species, such as Zerglings, Hydralisks, etc. The Zerg unlike their Halo counterparts are also capable of FTL flight by themselves and are not limited by the FTL capable ships that they are able to capture.

All three Star Craft species are also capable of psionic abilities to some degree. The Halo race do not have anything within their arsenals that would be comparable to the powers the likes seen by Ghosts, HIgh Templar, etc. Halo would not have any defense against this, especially the mind control capabilities of the Dark Archons or character like Kerrigan.

The Star Craft team are also more likely and capable of working with each other to fight a common enemy. The Star Craft games show the various races working together at some point or another in order to combat a foe when previously they were sworn enemies, see StarCraft Brood Wars: UED Invasion. While this is shown within the Halo series I would argue that the Loyalist Covenant forces conrolled by the Prophets would never join forces with humans because unlike the forces within SC there is an ideological drive behind the LC forces hatred for the Halo humans that is not seen in SC, and history as proven constantly the people who have some sort of ideology behind their behavior they are less likely to go against that behavior even to the point of preferring annhialtion to surrendering that belief.

The only thing that I see the Halo team having would be the Halo rings and I only see that as a very last ditch effort that would more than likely cause the destruction of both teams. Before that however, let’s look at the mechanics behind the HR. From what we have been shown the individual HR have a range limit of 25,000 light-years and do not effect things within slipspace. This allows two defences against the ocurrance of the HR array’s activation, escape into slipspace, or the destruction of an instilation, both of which would not be difficult for the SC races to accomplish. Though I think this would be moot because the Halo races have as much to lose by the activation of the HR as the SC races would , even if the forces that activated the rings were spared the effects they would soon find that the rest of their species has been wiped out.

Also no fandom can claim complete originality, everything borrows from something.
