Yeah, very epic. It's too bad that all will be reduced to killing frozen boars, freezing boars, or whatever silly name they come up with the same old boars with a slightly bluish skin.

Oh, and death knights yay!

Ah, a CGI trailer that has absolutely nothing what so ever to do with the realities of the game. Isn't that just spiffy?

Also, as soon as the dragon came up I bloody -knew- that it was going to roar...

I'm going to have to say that, that particular trailer is horrible when compared to the CGI trailer Warhammer released just a few days ago. For one, it looks more like a drama scene for a movie focusing on the one guy instead of being remotely related to the gameplay of the actual game(they did the same focus for BC with the "You are not prepared" trailers,.......funny thing is was that it was true because the Black Temple wasn't prepared and even open with BC until several months afterwards).

The reason I mentioned the Warhammer trailer, is it not only showed actual class froclasses doing actual abilities (mind you, it was CGI and was eye candy) but it also showed atleast onem every race (including Orcs and Goblins, both classified under one Greenskin). It truely showed what the game was focused about instead of some random boss that accumulates a whole 10% of the gameplay. Hell, it even showed that boss in it too, as the guy that showed up at the end with the God and who was about to lay the hurt down on all the Order.

one can only hope the incredible depth of story coupled with the solid French influence in direction of play for blizzard will bring in even more revenue for France, as they do need it, have you seen the main streets in paris? can we say garbage pickup please!

I'm a big Blizzard fan, and have played WoW for almost 4 years.

That cinematic sucked. The quality of the CGI was great, as is always the case with Blizzard CGI movies. But what was the story board for that movie?

1 - Arthas wakes up.
2 - Arthas' eye's glow..
3 - He grabs his sword...
4 - He breaks some ice....
5 - An ice dragon flies out.....

Pathetic.

Blizzard has been timing some of their recent announcements in an attempt to steal some headlines from WAR. Mike and the millionaires must be shitting the bed, if AoC pulled subs from WoW I can only imagine what WAR will do. I think WAR is ok, I'm in the CB - but there are so many WoW haters out there that they'll blindly pimp WAR no matter what.

Blizzards artists still show that they make the best CGI around, nothing like a jaw dropping trailer to get everyone excited!
A heck of a lot more cinematic than the previous 2, which were more like advertisements.
Just a shame the lore wont be heeded for the roflstomp raiders looking for server firsts and the obligatory epics.

Nice cinematic. We're at an interlude, bad ass shit is about to hit us. Storywise the in-game trailer was maybe better, but shit be pretty, you've got to admit.

It's not like the WAR cinematic because Blizzard already did the each class fighting the other one on one thing 4 years ago, get over yourselves.
