Starcraft 2 or Dawn of War 2

Starcraft 2 for online and story.

Dawn of war 2 for the gameplay.

None, you can't make a comparison between the next biggest masterpieces from the two best RTS developers in gaming.vash47

That is a hilarious quote in your sig.

Do not start this pointless flame war again. This topic ends in tragedy, misery, and insanity time and time again.

Besides, Dawn of War 2 will be better.

Easily Dawn of War 2.

No base building dawn of war 2 so more combat.

STARCRAFT2FTW

Blizzards games allways have bether gameplay and micro/macro managment than other

In Blizzard games every unit is important,while in other games its just masssss masss massss uniots no strategy or whatsoever

im sure that DOW 2 will have better graphics than SC2

but the SC gameplay is always better and it makes you THINK !!!!!

not like the DOW gameplay, its always the same...you send all your squad cap at the enemy base and see what happens, it has no strategy

maybe some abilities turn the tide of hte battles but its nothing like SC

SC makes you think in what you are doing... its not as simple as DOW

so its very clear... STARCRAFT 2 !!!!

If you send all your squad cap you have no strategy at all.

I have to agree with the only SC player who actually bother to use multi color font. :D

DOW2 will make an impact for awhile but it will in no way be as versatile or long lasting as starcraft 2 will be. Just imagine the sheer content the community is going to make with the toolset. It's gonna be insane.

Aliblabla2007 pulls out his list of 10 most important things in an RTS!

Gameplay - Dawn of War 2, Dune 2 clones are much less interesting to me in that respect.

Balance - Starcraft 2 by far.

Graphics - Dawn of War 2 with ease.

Environmental Interactivity - Even CoH (2006 title) had better physics than "barrels rolling down a ramp". DoW2 takes this by a light year.

Multiplayer - As a result of the superior balance, Battle.Net and faction variety, Starcraft 2 takes it easily.

Faction Variety - Starcraft 2 obviously.

Faction Content - ? We don't know yet. Relic has not announced all the races for Dawn of War 2.

Sound - Dawn of War 2, again.

Campaign - Starcraft 2, the only Relic games with particularly good campaigns are the Homeworld games.

Skirmish - Tie.

Both sides have 4 advantages each, 1 is a tie, and 1 has yet to be decided.

Since Aliblabla2007 does not care for multiplayer (cross one off for Starcraft, making it 4 for DoW2 vs 3 for SC2), he votes for Dawn of War 2!

Though he will still anticipate Starcraft 2.

aliblabla2007

as i don't care for graphics or sound, and gameplay is tied for me, starcraft wins 4-1

Stop asking difficult questions!!! DAW2....no wait StarCraft2.... no wait....... DAW... StarCr...... Aaah What the heck, I'l get both! :D

I love both DAW & StarCraft, and I'm eagerly awaiting both. DAW2 seem like it will be a bit different but Relic has never dissapointed. StarCraft 2 has also had some changes but once again Blizzard has never dissapointed.

I'm not gonna choose between them, both will have their flaws and both will have their strong points. Too keep on speculating which one will be best is pointless at the moment as no one here has played either. I'm such a strategy fanatic that I'll get both and enjoy both. we'll just have to wait and see which one is best thoegh.

Gameplay: SC 2 (It doesnt limit you with telling you to capture those points or you lose, so way more possibilites here than DoW2)

Graphics: DoW 2

Physics: DoW 2

Sound: SC 2 (Starcraft didnt have that good Sound but just listen to the Videos SC2 has out already)

Balance: SC 2

Multiplayer: SC 2

Singleplayer: SC 2

Factions: SC 2

Skirmisch: Probably Tie.

Custom Content/Editors: SC 2

Scales better with low end Computers: SC 2

Starcraft 2 !!!

Ohh i allready voted XD

I don't think starcraf will be has much as a hit like its predsessor

I dont think that you will pass your English exam XD

SC2= copy of 40,000

DOW= awesome

SC2= copy of 40,000

DOW= awesome

fatzebra

You obviously don't know what you are talking about :|

If you would have said C&C, maybe but saying SC2=copy of 40K shows only one thing and i'm not going to say it.

I am for SC2 but I will buy DOW2 too :)

Dawn of War 2!

I played SC2 and never really got into it. Mass Battle Cruiser rush! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOORING!

So far, the tally is

DoW2: 10
SC2: 9

That's not counting the posters who didn't specify well enough or at all or are anticipating both equally or whatever.

its not really fair to throw graphics in their...one is a high end game, and the other isnt.....if you want to balance it out....you could always throw art style in their.

I also disagree about sound...Blizzard games always have much better diolougue and music.

Dawn of War 2!

I played SC2 and never really got into it. Mass Battle Cruiser rush! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOORING!

i_hate_pants

When did SC 2 come out??? I would like to buy it... right now!

Dawn of War 2 for graphics.

Starcraft for everything else.

Meybe he played it had e for all or something like that.

starcraft 2 is better because its Starcraft no doubt in my mind better then dow and for starcrafts rock-paper-scissor teams ,.....if little kids still play rock-paper-scissor then no doubt we'll still play it

Graphics: DoW2> Sc2

Lasting appeal: Sc2> DoW2

Boy... you really dont know what are you talking about...

look on the internet and somebody else will explain you why thats not true

and this time im serious... next one to say that SC is based on W40K will have a horrible death

Graphics: DoW2> Sc2

Lasting appeal: Sc2> DoW2

bochero

Well yea it will last for a long time because of its massive fan base.

DoW2 is like Company of Heroes on steroids, with new physics, graphics and in the amazing WH40k world plus its made by Relic

All I see in Starcraft is massive multiplayer, new units and its made by Blizzard.

I'm a Sins, CoH , Total War (and previously DoW) addict so I need revolutionary games.

Starcraft2 can't go wrong because it is Blizzard and they make sure everything is right before release its just I'm not that interested.

Starcraft II in the single player campaign, because his charismatic characters, deep storyline, awesome cinematics and great sci-fi drama.

Dawn Of War II in the multiplayer department, because the fast paced gameplay, his control point system, the coolest units in any rts and because I spent near to 600 hours in his mp.

At the end, SC II is not another thing than a SC remake with better graphics; you will enjoy the great sp campaign, but Relic push the evolution of rts much more foward than Blizzard in the last ten years. I love Protoss but Chaos >>> Protoss. Easily.
