SupCom 2 vs Starcraft 2 poll

I really want to get a current gen RTS to last me years, but I'm not sure which to get between these two.

StarCraft 2 will offer a traditional experience thats proven to work (less strategy, mostly tactics/micro) but won't exactly innovate and it will have incredible production values and a gigantic online community.

SupCom 2 will have a far more innovative play experience and vastly larger battles (lots of strategy and some tactics/micro), dual screen support, better current gen graphics, weaker production values, and a vastly smaller online gaming community.

Please list your personal pros/cons for either.

While Supreme Commander 2 might turn out to be good (still room for it to bomb, I have a wait and see approach to that one), it's pretty much guaranteed Starcraft 2 will be huge and last far longer. Honestly, since Starcraft 2 won't be out for a long while and Supreme Commander 2 is out in March I believe, I see no reason to not get SupCom2 now and then Starcraft 2 later.

Also, Starcraft 2's single player campaign is pretty much guaranteed to be lightyears better than SupCom2's.

Another thing to consider is the really advanced campaign editor for Starcraft 2. That alone will guarantee Starcraft 2 will have a lot longer lifespan. I'm not sure why this is even really a poll to be honest, because Starcraft 2 will win by a landslide.

i would pick both of them.

The reason why I don't want both is because good RTS's require months and even years to master. I don't want my plate too full. ;)

Starcraft 2 all the way.

Well I guess this just goes to reinforce just how much bigger the StarCraft community will be to SupCom's....Its a shame cause it SupCom2 seems like a great game with layers of complexity that StarCraft doesn't even approach. Oh well. The I's have it. Online dominance will push me to Blizzard. Sorry GPG. :D

I never liked either of the first games, but Starcraft looks like it will have more replayability, but the downside is the asian dominated population.

I'm actually looking forward to SC2's SP than MP (not much if an mp person). Not sure about picking up SupCom 2 though, not sure my pc can handle a lot of units on the screen at once.
