GameSpot @ E3: Warcraft III

GameSpot continues its E3 coverage with a detailed report of how Blizzard’s Warcraft III is shaping up. Included in the report are quite a few specifics on the single player campaigns, such as the following paragraph:

As the human campaign progresses, you’ll find out that the orcs are sacrificing humans to summon demons, the burning legion that’s threatening all of Azeroth. Soon you’ll meet Jaina, a wizard hero who is investigating a local plague. There are eight missions for each of the four races’ campaigns, and you’ll switch through playing each side’s unique heroes–up to three at a time in later missions. There are also some characters, like Uther, whom you never get to control but who will fight alongside you. Even after putting Thrall, the orc hero, in a positive light in the first mission, it’s hard to be sympathetic to the orcs when you see them through the eyes of the humans. So it’s not at all surprising that the orc campaign doesn’t follow the human episode.
