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

Starcraft is a good game, but it always felt pretty generic from a visual standpoint. The two aren't even worth comparing.

Starcraft. If you've played it, you know why. :)

How is Starcraft generic but Halo is not? Where the main character is a super soldier who takes on endless amounts of bad guys wearing motocross gear, and the marines int he game look like a blantent ripoff of James Cameron's Aliens.. This isn't defending Starcraft as so much questioning your choice of not calling Halo generic as well.

Halo has only gotten better, and Reach looks incredible. Starcraft just looks like those models that kids used to paint in the very early 90s.

Starcraft. Why?

Thor. 'Nuff said.

Halo's armor and weapons are more realistic, who would wear a 5 ton space suit to fight? Plus Halo's weapons are very powerful, assuming the forerunners are similar to the humans. Remember Halo is also a weapon.

.. Uhh Starship Troopers gave the whole idea of that.. Having a space suit thats extremely powerful, fast, and the ability to carry large loads of ammunition.. Its basically what the military is trying to do TODAY in developing exo skeletons and what not..

Halo if you ask me looks more impressive.

but out of all choices in the Sci-Fi tech. I love Deus Ex : Human Revolution.

anything resembling Ghost in the Shell tech is just pure win, and - to me - looks liek the closest thing to a future world then i think people give it credit for.

Halo by far

Overall i like Warhammer 40k the best

Dragonball Z was intresting but didnt show much of thier tech other than the capsules

Heavy Armored space Marines? Pfft, you would think everyone would need some kind of armored suit in Starcraft...but the women? Hellll naw.

>IG is just a aliens rip off

you do know that every sci-fi franchise (be it Warhammer 40k,Starcraft and of course Halo) have ripped off James camerons space marines? not to metion Cameron ripped off Starship troopers

Michael biehn (he played Hicks and Kyle reese) said Cameron made everyone read Starship troopers before filming aliens

starcraft. halo vehicles (humans) look like crap. It isnt futuretech, its basically what we have now but simpler. Starcraft's human tech actually looks sorta futurey.

Id say halo...It atleast doesn't have such concepts as...the CONFEDERACY in space still going and southern accents. though I'm unsure if they removed that from starcraft 2...

Halo

Command & Conquer Tiberian series.

I think its worse that the terran battlecruiser which is a capital ship is the size of 4 marines and can be brought down by small arms fire.

well, that comes down to a gameplay choice, not rational advancement of weapons..

Case point being Halo Wars.

Compare that to the Halo games. Yeah see my point?

One man can destroy a scarab in halo so I don't see your point.

Halo easliy.
