View Full Version : Terran Protoss Zerg V. Humans Covenant Flood
Due to the terran vs human topic thread(SgtSlagrock) and the Protoss vs Covenant thread(areslathe), and the suggestion of flood vs zerg, I have decided to make a whole Starcraft(No Hybrids or Xel'naga) vs Halo thread. I think that if the whole thing was done it would be pretty even. Cus the flood could probably take the terrans and infest them. The humans would get slaughtered somewhat quickly, but the Spartans could help turn the tide for any race. Prottos would totally own the covenant, but flood would be harder for them if they used the weapons they got from the terrans. Ofcourse if the battle lasted long enough the zerg could start to assimilate the flood and covenant. But then imagine master chief with a gauss rifle and maybe some sort of a psyonich balde from the toss(he might be psychic?). So it'd be mostly even what do you all think?
Sorry about last one messed up the poll.

well you have to look at it like this. in Halo games etc. you get to see ALOT of ground units but wat you see is weak... all infantry or "Light" armor etc. the only exception so far is the Scarab for the Covenant, which could probably give a siege tank a run for his money...
Flood = getting owned 24/7 by the Zerg. The only form of flood we have seen is melee infantry... Nothing but melee and light arms infantry. They do have numbers to their advantage because they can use the dead to replenish their numbers.
Protoss vs. Covenent = VERY close here. Covenant has the grunt and the elite with its uber shields the big challange for the Covenant is how to defeat the spellcasters but they do have the hunters and the phantoms. in the Air I think the Covenant and the Humans could fair well against their counterparts but the Flood (again nothing) slaughtered...

I'm not really sure. It would have to depend on the commanders of all the races (excluding the flood, they have no real commander that I know of, unless you count the Keyes flood thingy). The real winners: us!!!!we get to watch. :D :banana: :banana:

The flood however can probably survive in space. Or better yet hijack some shuttles, ride them to a cruiser and take over enemy ships. Plus what about the races going 2v1 to take out a threat? The Covenant and flood working together could easily slaughter the toss. And then the covenant could move to take out the zerg while the flood take care of the terrans. It really depends upon the commanders and whether or not they can fully cooperate. The terran and zerg could work together and barely take out the flood. While the toss with a few supporting units from the terrans, like meds, takes out the covenant. If the sc team combines their unit firepower strategically, they would probably win. Hmmm.... It's all getting very complicated.

The Terrans could just get a team of 100 Ghosts (I'm sure they have at least that many), assassinate the spartans (outnumbered 20:1), hijack the capitol ships, and boom. There you go, the entire Halo Human command structure wiped out and their morale squashed.
PvC: 14 Nexus fast expand with cannons, tech to HT/reavers off of 2 bases and then use reaver/shuttle/HT to clear enemy expos while adding more to your own. JK, but really, all you would need is a blanket of psi storms and disruption fields, and some very nice reaver/shuttle micro. :P
ZvF: Zerg could just assimilate the Flood and gain characteristics so that they can't get infected. Then all you need to do is use ultra/ling/defiler with some heavy guard/muta support fire.
SC by a landslide.

ACtually ghosts are kinda week but they probably could take out the spartans cus theres so many. But taking out the capitol ships? maybe....
I hear you on the prottoss.
Assimilation takes a long time. And zerg cant just simply "gain characteristics so that they can't get infected." If the zerg could do that stuff that fast... They would be hybrid status before broodwar.
Starcraft might win... but halo could take a big chunk out of their forces...

this is not a game you cant just "take out their expo". in case you dont know real war is not about harvesting minerals. [sarcasm]of yea cause the spartans would just let 100 people snipe them cause their so dumb[sarcasm/]

just a random question, to Lumosa_Brood, what is that thing on that girls head on ur icon? Some kind of killer headgear? anyways, SC vs HALO, SC would win by a landslide because of all of the races surperior technology/DNA.

oh yea, The ghosts could just lock down any mechanical unit from the covenant/humans army ;)

frazz and Lumosa, with 100 Ghosts coordinating operations, I highly doubt that it will be comprised of just sniping.
Besides, don't the suits count as mechanical objects? If so, lock'em down and that's it.
And Lumosa, the first part of my PvC was a joke, and it's actually a viable build order against Zerg if the bases are far enough, and you don't scout 3hatch speedling (though no one really does that anymore). On expos, what happened to supply camps? if you can take out one of those, they'll be crippled, if only for a short time.

Wouldn't marines suits or zealots suits count as mechanical also then? Especcialy ghost suits would. In my opinion if ghost cant lockdown a zealot or another ghos they shouldn't be able to lockdown spartans. Ooh and heres another idea. One of the spartans takes off his mechanical suit, assasinates a ghost right before the mission and thru espionage is able to keep himself secret. He slowly corrodes the mission thru subtle movements and eventually collapses the whole operation.
i really don't think it would be a matter of flood vs zerg. even if they started out thinking "we will assimilate them" it would be more a case of them mutually infecting one another and merging their genetic structure. whatever nightmare race emerged from this would easily decimate the rest of the competition.
