Some of you might know about Halo Wars (new RTS based on Halo series for the Xbox 360)....

Well some people (MTV) are comparing it to a Diablo RTS. How do you think this might impact D3 or SC2? Halo has a pretty big Xbox fan base! Might convert a few?

Halo wars sucked plain and simple, even being a fan of rts's this lacked variety of units and overall fun that an rts game brings me.

The two games really cannot be compared when you think about it. Halo is Halo and Diablo is Diablo, there are really no similarities. And regardless of whether or not people want to compare the two games, in the end, Halo Wars is an RTS, and Diablo is a Hack-n-Slash RPG! It will all depend on what type of game the people want to play really.

(posting for future viewers, I realize the thread is old. Seeing as there are only 3 threads here, it's all that people will see.)

you can't compare two different games

just as Sixen said, you can't compare an RTS to an RPG

it's like comparing a fruit to a vegetable

Diablo is not an RTS? It doesn't even have any RTS elements. These games are not mutually exclusive, are there some players who play both? Sure! Will one have any effect on the other? I don't see how :D
