About Wc3Campaigns

Or better: Starcraft2Campaigns. They recently changed their desing to Starcraft-ish, and they say that although Blizzard have no exact release date, they are 'preparing' for Starcraft 2, with a hosted project 'Aeon of Strife'. What do you think? End of the Golden Age of Warcraft?

I found the topic fit to Generic Warcraft 3 Chat, redirect me if I'm wrong.

warcraft will live on, just as the original starcraft has.

There are a lot of things we don't know about starcraft 2 that could make some things that were done in warcraft impossible, the scripting language could be more limited for example. What if the maximum player number is below 14? There are a lot of things in JASS that can only be done by exploits, things blizzard may or may not have intended. Who's to say that they will not "fix" these things?

Even now we take newgen for granted, but it took a lot of work to get there, it could be even more difficult to make the new blizzard scripting environment bearable. We also take for granted all thr tricks that are possible in warcraft, lets just say in starcraft it might be impossible to raise or lower a ground unit. Blizzard might **** over our methods of spell making too, or not make equivalents for key things like the locust ability.

Even after all this, starcraft will be modded, and it will be enjoyed no matter what, but I expect wc3 to last for a long while.

Sc2 will feature not only models from the main game, but models of every unit that was canned from the game during developement, and models of starcraft1 units. At first I worried about cosmetic potential, but look at how few models in warcraft actually have excellent animation, then look how alive even the SCVs of SC2 appear.

That is what I wanted to hear. There is still hope, and there is still a DoE to live for.

It's probably an April Fools Day joke. Hopefully.

Warcraft 3 will live on as long as DotA:Allstars except. People buy the game for it.

As far as SC2 Editor will go, I really don't think there is anything to worry about. Blizzard has done a fine job of improving upon everything in the editor with each of their games, with the editor for SC being primitive and simple, with the only sort of variable being a switch, to the W3 Editor, which allows you to modify near everything, and even further than that with much more added in the TFT expansion.

I believe the SC2 editor will be everything it needs to be.

I haven't seen any changes on WC3C lately, what are you talking about?

An april FOOLZ!?

Wc3c's staff didn't have any time to do anything this year, unfortunately. Normally we'd come up with something fun.

[Soul_Reaver]

It was a trap for fools, and I walked right into it. It was, but an April Fools joke. Whatever...

[Hydrolisk]

I hope they include the Tauren Marine model. xD

[The Colonel]

They will, it looks like they already made it, no sense in not including it!
