Starcraft 2 VS Dawn of War 2

Which RTS do you think will be better?I voted DoW2, this is mainly because CoH is the best RTS I have ever played by miles, and since DoW2 is going to include alot of the elements of CoH, and Starcraft 2 is just going to include the same gameplay elements from Starcraft 1, I'm gonna say DoW2 will be miles better then SC2.Starcraft 2 VS Dawn of War 2
They are both good in their style of gameplay.Starcraft 2 VS Dawn of War 2
Starcraft 2 for online, Dawn of war 2 for the rest. ;)I will buy both on the first day they come out. :)
StarCraft 2.

I voted StarCraft.It is a game that i have played for a long time now. I cant get bored of it. A classic!
it comes down to basically which series appeals to you more, their both totally different rts's. Imo i prefer sc2 cause i grew up on that rts.
I predict that Bnet will continue to be better than Relic Onilne and Relic RTS's will continue to have vastly more complex game mechaics than Blizzards. Furthermore I predict that Blizzard's game will be more balanced both out of the box and after a year than Relic's. Anyone want to bet against me? :-)
I predict that DOW 2 will get more awards and better reviews than SC 2, I also predict that SC 2 will out sell DOW 2. Anyone want to bet against me? ;)
DoW 2 for sure. Not only is it going to improve upon CoH (easily one of my favorite RTS games, along with DoW) but it will update the 41st millenium we all know and love :)Starcraft 2 looks like itll be good, but we all know its 40k-lite. I'll stick with the true dark future. For the Imperium!

I predict it will not get better reviews than sc2.
Starcraft 2 appeals more to me.. but im sure both will have a huge following considering both original games are still very popular.

[/QUOTE]Company of Heroes' average score at Gamerankings.com: 94%StarCraft's average score at Gamerankings.com: 93%DoW2 is borrowing many elements from the first game and applying them to the Company of Heroes formula - a game that is quite clearly very, very well respected amongst the global RTS community. I'm not trying to start a debate as to whether StarCraft, Dawn of War or Company of Heroes is the better game, but since you brought it up, I'll go with it.Based on company history, I think it's fair to say at the least that the two games have equal potential, and based on Relic's willigness to refine and evolve the genre (while Blizzard is stuck in 1998 ), Dawn of War 2 may very well offer a much more appealing experience for the RTS players of 2009, given that it will be an RTS of 2009, rather than an eleven year old game with a new engine and a few balance changes. My vote will always go to Dawn of War 2, because it's Warhammer 40K, because it has squads, because it's Warhammer 40K, because it (presumably) has a territory-based resource system, and because it's Warhammer 40K. Also, because it's Warhammer 40K.And don't forget that it's Warhammer 40K.
I feel ashamed that I've never played DOW :( Might have to get on the bandwagon before the sequel comes out...
I love both RTS series. I feel they are very strong bases. The last sequals to the DoW games though have been incredibly lackluster. I think Blizzard will pull off the better quality game quite easily if DOW continues its trend.
Starcraft 2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Gone of War 2. :D
Obviously Starcraft 2, but I say this because I started playing RTS with Warcraft I %26 II. When Starcraft came out it had a highly competitive multiplayer community that kept the game fun to play for many, many years. I haven't actually played Dawn of War, but I have played CoH, and I am not a fan of what they envision as a good RTS game. With the latest CoH game, they add even less to the series than before, and still fail to pull of a lasting experience for me personally. Here's what I think this is about. If you prefer to watch the battles and things happening, more often than being required to micro-manage units or actually command the entire battle, then I think games like DoW2 or another CoH-style game will appeal to you more. If you prefer a game that requires a great amount of practice and has players who seem like they play professionally, I would go with Starcraft 2.EDIT: I'm not trying to say you can't play DoW professionally, or competitively, I am assuming that most of the professional and competitive players are going to gravitate toward SC2. I think Starcraft has a balance that can't be mucked with, and it offers players the most fair way to compete.

[/QUOTE] Relic also made another game;Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts' average score at Gamerankings.com: 87%and a bunch of other A-AA games (Homeworld 2, Impossible Creatures, Dawn of War and its two expansions)WH40k? I like the setting but Relic is no longer capable of a story as good as Homeworld, DoW2 might have a better setting, but characters like Jim Raynor and Sarah Kerrigan are well know and peoples favorites, in contrast I have not seen the same popularity for Sindri or Captain MacKaySingle player; I enjoyed Homeworld and Company of Heroes, but I didn't much care for Dawn of War and Homeworld 2, but I did enjoy the SP of every Blizzard RTS game.All those things you mentioned as benefits (squads and territory-based control) simply limit the strategy and micro options of the game, so I don't view them as positive. For example, I was playing CoH and found out that Relic balanced out the Stug Base rush strategy, because it didn't fit their idea of how the game should play, damn tossers, what should have been a quick game lasted for 40 minutes.Anyways I already explained why StarCraft 2 is going to play differently than the original in another thread when responding to your post, just like how StarCraft was different that WarCraft 2 despite having similar base mechanics. If you think that StarCraft 2 is stuck in 1998 than you should play Close Combat III: The Russian Front (Dec, 31 1998') its amazing how nearly a 10 year old strategy game does squads, morale, elevation and projectile physics better than Company of Heroes, I would even argue that its ruleset handles destructible environments better, the explosions just don't look as pretty. Edit: I second SKaREO
SC 2 has some of the genre's greatest minds working on it..it all looks amazing, user interface, gameplay, unique features...everything is going to be great....I will check out dow 2 but I'm liking SC 2's chances for sure...
did everybody for get about Total War: Empires????All three are pretty awesome, but I must admit I was never a Starcraft fan since I never got good enough to overcome cheap tatics.
