Warcraft 3 Announced

Posted by justin++ on from the lions-and-tigers-and-orcs-oh-my dept.

Anonymous something something writes "Warcraft 3 has been announced. Check blizzard's site. No plans on doing a linux port but I'm sure we'll get it to work under wine. " Looks like quite a departure from WC 1&2 - "Role Playing Strategy". 6 races, too. Could the release of C&C: Tiberian Sun hurt sales when the game finally is released?

    When will Loki do the port?

    Man, from the day that Loki started announcing their ports, I've been saying that what we really really need is the next Warcraft game to run native under Linux.

    To be honest, the games Loki ports haven't been blockbusters. They've been good games and I'm sure that Loki made a pretty penny off them, but no real killers -- Quake 3 will blow them all out of the water. Warcraft, however, might put them on the map with a real winner that would attract a serious amount of attention.
