    Nope, but it was very talked about and "Of course it will be a great game, Romero is working on it"

    Old E3 awards

    Freelancer is on there from 1999, just came out recently and at least for me wasn't too terribly great.

    The Sims Online is on there too and for the most part, while succesful wasn't nearly as good as most people thought it would be.

    Just because you have past successes certainly doesn't guarantee any new ones, and Triforge/Arena.net haven't exactly had any past successes, then again, you do have to start somewhere.

    Good luck to them.

    Sure. It has great graphics. Fine. Spectacular. I have always been amazed by Id's graphics engines.
    However, the *point* was something entirely different.

    Sorry I didn't elaborate with ID. When I said everyone dropped their jaws in awe, it was the incredible environment that you experienced. The demo did not just show more lighting effects, polygons, etc etc. Sure those all added to the feel but there were other aspects such as the sounds Trent Reznor put in. The following is a quote from e3awards explaing the award for best of show.

    "Watching programming legend John Carmack manipulate the lone marine through the claustrophobic corridors, it was easy to get caught up in the revolutionary steps embodied by the technology on display. And all of that would do an injustice to the entrancing glimpses of terrifying gameplay"

    If thta's not experience, I'm not sure what is.

    Doom 3 won 3 awards at E3 this year. Anyone who saw the demo dropped their jaws in awe. ID software does not make bad games (some would debate quake 2 though) and Blizzard has a VERY good track record.

    Most of the "improvements" in WC3 weren't because it would make it a better experience in the world of Warcraft, it's what would make it a more "perfect" RTS.

    Now why the hell would Warcraft 3 make for a better experience in World of Warcraft? So you're saying you want single player rpg game before the mmorpg comes out? How are either of those creating a better experience for the RTS player? If you're thinking of better experience in single experience, you've come to the wrong genre. Majority of RTS customers play online against other human opponents. That's their experience. Blizzard is interested in creating a better experience for the online gamers. People will not move from Starcraft to Warcraft 3 if Warcraft 3 did not provide a better experience.
