Warcraft3 Hero Update

Warcraft2 wasn't imbalanced, but that's going on the assumption that all you play is orcs vs orcs on Garden of War (or maybe Plains of Snow), which is all anybody played on Kali.

I would be extremely surprised if Warcraft3 was very balanced across races when it's released. Sure Blizzard will have a good long beta test to iron out the major problems like ultralisk and goliath superiority during the Starcraft beta, but imbalances that seem small will be magnified when many people are playing. Starcraft has seen significant rebalances over the years, with 1.08 from just a month and a half ago further tweaking values.

If it's anything like Starcraft, Warcraft3'll be very fun, but not see real nice balance until the expansion, when they bring out a couple extra units per race to help balance things out a bit.

It's not like Warcraft 2 was so great, Bloodlust has to be the most unbalanced type of attack in any RTS i've played. Kinda sucked

This game was supposted to come out, what, 2+ years ago?

This game has started to excite me more and more, so i had to ask.

I read somewhere that Blizzard had abandoned their 'Role Playing Strategy' aim for the game for a more old-school Real Time Strategy approach (Like in WarCraft ][ for example). Is this true, and to what extent? I for one would like to see a straight sequel to WarCraft ][ with all the atmosphere, updated graphics & sound, and new races. Adding a roleplaying element to it might make it even better - i'm not the one to tell Blizzard they don't know what they're doing - but just as well it could ruin from the winning formula that is RTS. Innovation is a good thing, so i'm ready to blindly trust Blizzard in doing the right thing. They have a fairly spotless track-record so to say...

So to the question, will it be a RTS or RPS? Or something inbetween? As long as it isn't a 'First Person Strategy' title.. eww
