Warcraft III / Frozen Throne
Starcraft / Brood Wars
Neither
Why So Serious?
Okay guys, let's weigh in on this.
What is the better game?

I represent 100% of the votes currently. The results clearly show that Starcraft is the superior game.Originally Posted by Spike
No, but really. I enjoyed Starcraft more because of the number of units a player can control at once. Not to mention the futuristic setting, and coolish storyline.
Though I admit Brood War made the protoss ludicrously powerful.
There's no way Warcraft can win this, though I'll put my vote in for it anyway. I've played Warcraft 3 nearly every free day I've had since it came out. I love it, even though it's desperately crying to be fucking patched for balance already.

Starcraft was ok but I thought it was WAY too overhyped, it wasn't the greatest thing to ever come to this Earth. I played more WC2 but I never got into the third one as I mostly suck at RTS games.

WCIII gets balanced, then unbalanced, then re-whatever. I played alot of both, i prefer WCIII, it seems to be more strategy than the micro of sc.

Um, really? Blizzard publically let us know that Warcraft's focus on smaller units and faster battles was so they took the weight off of resource and building macromanagement so you can spend more time on unit control and battle micromanagement.
Starcraft is micro-less until high-level play. Your success in WC3 depends almost entirely on your micro.
Starcraft easily.
I love Warcraft III... but as omfgStibbons noted... it doesn't reach the balanced perfection that was Starcraft.
You sir, are a hideous hermaphroditical character which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman.

Warcraft III will lose, but I'll mostly just say Starcraft owns because Siege Tanks are one of the coolest units in all of creation.
The actual game no longer interests me. After playing Kohan, no other RTS has ever held my attention in the least bit.

I have never played starcraft.... don't revolk my license. I just never got in to the whole experience. I love Warcraft but 3 was definitely not as good as 2 (for me atleast) and I couldn't pitch a fair vote here.
But I'm not fair and I'm voting for warcraft.
That's nostalgia clouding your judgment. After Starcraft and Warcraft 3, I could never play 2 again.
WC3 is extremely micro and reflex intensive and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone that's not willing to invest some time into mastering it, just like any good twitch-based shooter (that's no exaggeration, there are replays out there from tournaments with guys clicking in with over 100 mouse clicks a minute, just from moving units around). Starcraft is more about resource management and counter-based strategy. They're both on opposite ends of the RTS genre, and if you don't like one, you generally like the other.
