Time to re-install Starcraft 2 :)
I cant wait to see what the modding community comes up with this stuff!
There are already very good warcraft mods like WAH that have more diversity.
This is a good news because those models and files can be use for some new warcraft fan games and bigger modifications. Maybe if someone can using a good engine then this game and it's models can be up to date at the current graphical level with lot of additions.
Nicee :D that's a really good news
well ive been waiting for warcraft 4 for a long time so this will have to do :)
