First off, war3 is just about as fast as war3. Unfortunately timothy probably only played campaign mode in war2 and never learned the keystrokes, so war3 feels faster playing it multiplayer with good players. Comparing war2 to a first person shooter and a turn-based game is the oddest thing I've seen on/. in a while.
Second, you don't have the *option* of getting heroes, you *must* build heroes. If you don't, you will most definitely lose.
Third, complimenting Blizzard on their graphic's is silly, they are way behind everyone else. Dark Reign 2 had basically war3's without 32bit 2 years ago. World War III came out months ago and it is better than war3's in many ways (has rotating of the camera, which is *very* useful.
Fourth, this game is great guys, and you'll love it. The Heroes make the game much more fun, and also with Upkeep (the more units you have the less income you make) is a huge improvement to the game. You now have smaller battles with more strategic varied engagements.
See you on battle.net!
Btw, until war3 comes out, I hope you're as excited as I am about dungeon siege (made by the guy behind Total Annihilation).
