Published on July 18, 2008 By Shamrock1232 In

im just throwing this out here, cuz no one will believe the truth that bungie copied off of one of the most known gaming companies in the United States. because you can clearly see the what the same in both race and storyline wise

Starcraft           Halo
Marines            UNSC          both are fighting for galatic peace. master chief acts like Jim Raynor
Protoss            Covenent     both are highly religous and made up of different alien races
Zerg                Flood           both leaders names sound very similar OverMind(Starcraft) Gravemind(Halo) and both infect/reanimate corpses as units to fight with
Edit: Xel'Naga (Starcraft) Forerunner(Halo) Both high tech races believed to have created the Zerg/Flood and protoss seek the Xel'Naga as Protoss seek the Forerunner

also, starcraft is an RTS halo was originally going to be an RTS
SEE THE TRUTH!

I think you're reading to much into this...

The world isn't a conspiracy theory.

There are only eight science fiction settings in the entire universe, it's just the names are changed.

True story.

actually halo is unique... starcraft, however, was inspired by the Warhammer 40,000 universe... it was so similar, that, at the time, blizzard had to request permission to continue development...

Yep, just like Warcraft is based off of Warhammer Fantasy. Will be amusing to see Warcraft fans accusing Warhammer Online of copying WoW for some of it's races

With your reasoning I could say CnC3 copied both those games. Compare this chart to the OP's:

GDI Fighting for world peace
Nod Religious zealots from all areas of the globe
Scrin Evil aliens that fight in numbers

Granted, it's not perfect, but it pretty much fits the original idea.

Anyway, as a previous poster said, not everything is a conspiracy.

Starship Troopers
Humans
Bugs
Skinnies

Starcraft
Humans
Zerg
Protoss

Sorry, but it seems that Blizzard already "borrowed" from an idea created forty years prior.

Personally, I chalk it up to imitation being the sincerest form of flattery.

That will be irony on a devastating level. There will be earthquakes and storms caused by such level of irony.

actually, starcraft wasn't inspired by Warhammer 40,000 Starcraft was inspired by the Original Warcraft game, which was inspired by warhammer yes.

but blizzard and warhammer back when warcraft came out had some connection with each other, and warhammer online didn't copy wow

warhammer online is actually reffering to many races in the warhammer universe comics games ect.

no its the truth, gladly the makers of Halo Wars isn't copying Bungie, cuz they are working together in it, even tho many say otherwise

Boys and girls it time that you realize that almost everthing is cliche. like in game u fight commie, nazis, or terorist. In space there always aliens often super religous. And Zombies...

The Protoss is one race, not made of of many. They have two main societies though, the conservative Khalai Protoss and the exiled Dark Templar.

I like games that reference their predacessors anyway. Some devs at Stardock listed a few for Gal Civ II.

Alot of things follow the same three race pattern to some degree.
Starship Troopers, Starcraft, Halo, AvP, SupCom, SINS, and many other acronyms.

The REAL truth is their all the same because one secret entity is behind them ALL!!!
