Blizzard's april fools joke

WHOA - Warcraft: Heroes of Azeroth.

A new RTS from blizzard. 

Check it out here : http://www.blizzard.com/whoa/

Part of the joke seems to be in the name "Whoah" - as in...."Whoah! Hold it!"....I wondered what blizz would have up their sleeves this year, but after last years "world of starcraft", who would take them seriously on April Fools day?

EDIT: After examining the evidence, this is obviously a joke.

1) The graphics are insanely dated.

2)WHoA comes in *four* different box covers
(that's TWICE as many as WoW!)

 3)Have you seen the goddamn system specs?! Theyre like 10 years old!

HAH DirectX 8.1!  I think that these are either WC3 specs or they just put in ancient, ancient requirements.

I guess they didn't put much effort in their current joke as you can see the old Warcraft III pictures.Supafly1

If you looked even closer at the wallpapers you can see 2007 in the botom, but if you looked closer, you can see a faded 3 underneath the 7!!

I like this April Fools joke :P
