Which future human tech looks cooler? Halo's or Starcraft's? (possible 56k)

^^topic^^

Given that art design can really go a long way for games, we're going to compare the appearances of the armor, ships, vehicles, guns, and other tech shown off in the canon's of two very well known sci-fi game series: that of Halo's UNSC and Starcraft's Terrans. That said, discuss away.

Halo, Starcraft has that weird Warhammer "Everything in the future will be absolutely massive" look to it, all the armour and weapons look huge on the humans, I've never cared for that. In Halo everything has defined edges but still manages to look sleek.bobbetybob

Starcraft's terrans and it isn't really a contest. The only thing that actually looks that's it's from the future is the armour the spartans wear.

I like the look of Halo way more than starcraft, it just looks more realistic for a futuristic game.

Starcraft for me.

Starcraft but I'm just biased

I prefer StarCraft's but Halo's s pretty awesome as well.

I like the way the humans in Starcraft look personally, however I think the Covenant Ships look 10x better than Protoss or Terran ships

Halo's looks cooler. Only because it is less realistic.

I would rather have the terran marines protecting me over the UNSC marinesLed_poison

starcraft people's suits look so incredibly stupid compared to spartan armor. too big and bulky. i think in the halo books, it was mentioned that only the mark I armor was anywhere near that big.

Halo tech looks sleeker. Especially Forerunner stuff.

I read somewhere that the battlefield life expectancy for a terran marine was just over nine seconds

halo. energy sword=win and all of the forerunner technology(and, to an extent, the covenant) looks sleek and futuristic. UNSC technology is ok, but some things could have been more futuristic, like the civilian cars in halo2 and ODST.

I must be seeing something different to everyone else lol.

Halo SMG, BR, shotty, pistol, sniper rifle and R launcher all look like modern day weapons, only that funny looking lame assault rifle looks futuristic, though terrans in SC suffer this as well, except for the specialised infantry.

The average halo marine looks like one of the ghost recon designs, the spartans look futuristic. All terran soldiers look like they are from the future.

The Vehicles in halo also look very primitive. The warthog for example is a completely open jeep with a mounted gun that has to be manually operated. Now why is it would you put like no protection for the passengers? Then the scorpion looks like something a fool would design, the tank has unnecessary height and a very small amount of armaments for its size. The aircraft (can't remember the name) does look like it's from the future though.. a cross between a heli and a jet. Terrans in SC have mechs, cloaking aircraft/soldiers, transforming tanks and mobile suits!

That's just my opinion though :P

I take it you do not know about Protoss Technology at all

IMO psi blades> energy sword

Guys remember this is only between Halo's Marines and SCs terrans, Protoss/Covenant are not allowed ;P

vs...

LOL! :lol:

If just between them two, I pick Halo.

Otherwise I pick Mass Effect. Its tech, guns, vehicles and armor are way more realistic for the future than Halo's and Starcraft's, IMO.

Starcraft definitely. They are much more exciting. Although Warhammer 40k Imperium of man beats both by miles.

does the game give you explanations on how most of the alien weapons work? halo does. does starcraft?

Uhh no. Warhammer 40k Space marines > Terran marines.

Also, Imperial Guard are way better than Terrans as well.

Let's not compare Terrans and the IG. IG is just an Aliens rip-off. :P

Honestly, though, the only Imperial Chapter I think is even as remotely cool as Terrans is Blood Angels.

The only thing that makes blood angels really cool is the black rage and red thirst! Blood Angels are some crazy mofos :P

If IG are an Alien rip off then so are the Terran marines. Personally, the Starcraft marines are pretty cool. but there are many interesting chapters and I think the Space Marine´s weapons and technology are better. They are simply badass.

But Blood Angels, Ultramarines, and Black Templars are cool, imo. I guess I just prefer StarCraft's sense of style.

Of course it does, you dont know much about starcraft in general do you?

I like Terran's design slightly more.

I agree with this a little there are too many 40k marines holding some medievelish looking sword while fighting aliens, im sorry but that doesnt really belong in a sci fi universe. Chainswords are okay but 13th century longswords? I dont think so
