The first game play footage of World of Warcraft officially unveiled to the public in this short trailer. The World of Warcraft engine was actually just Warcraft III's engine on steroids.
In-game footage released two years before this sleeping giant hit the shelves. What your seeing is actually a pimped out Warcraft III engine. It looks like they had only finished some of the Eastern Kingdoms at this pint in development namely Elwynn Forest, Darkshire, and Westfall.

Now... THIS is what a battleground should be like!!
Yes, the frame rate is pretty bad but by the time Legacy of the Void comes out, all Computer video cards at that time will be 4 or even 8 times faster which will usher in a new generation of epic maps containing battles between hundreds, maybe even thousands of units.
This is just a little demonstration of experimental projects I have been working on in preparation for the premium maps feature that will soon be available for Starcraft II.
