I don’t think the movie will start in “modern times”. I simply think the movie crew took a few liberties regarding design (and likely plot, too), as all movie crews do.

WC3 is still a great LAN game. My friends and I always end up playing it at some point during a LAN party. Everybody can run the game, it’s got tons of different maps (i.e. game modes) and it doesn’t drain the net, haha. :-)

This would be terrible.
I’m so glad they’re being serious. They owe it to the epic lore.
