@ Pentacube

It also makes you look foolish to take things out of perpspective. I'm sure i can trawl the internet to find sources for Tolkien's influence and design but that wouldnt be the point, the point is a comparison between war and wow...Warhammer being alot closer to fantasy source material and influence than blizzard who i already stated used warhammer 40k designs as an influence for their starcraft series. i also chose my words carefully, i didnt say it "created" a genre i simply said "defined." Another case of someone needing to read before they comment.

"In WAR, Orcs don't dance like MC Hammer outside the auction house. Why would they? They're too busy beating down Dwarves, stealing their delicious beer, and swearing in cockney English accents."

@Samael

Please read carefully...
"So the orcs and such are evil/savage in this? Thank you confirming this."
At what point did i say otherwise?

"I'm not very familiar with the Warhammer storyline"
No, so i explained it to you, warhammer cant be a stereotype if it in fact defined the genre...

Ive been playing WAR for a few weeks now, gta say it really is something else, the mechanics theyve implemented make it extremley accesible for mmo players of all ability.

As for "races of chaos look stereotypically evil to me. I like WoW's orcs and other horde races because they break that stereotype"
i'd just like to point out that warhammer has been around since the early 80's and its lore and design is actually responsible for alot of the fatasy "stereotypes" that are around now, 40k even influenced alot of the starcraft design...so to say that warcraft desgins are superior to warhammer is purley contradiction.
