    It's definitely Stormwind that he lands on. Thats the Valley of Heroes that you see being wrecked at the end. Amazing looking trailer, but i expect no less from Blizzard.

    If it is SW they made a balls of that video location wise, he flies over the damn and into wetlands and lands on SW?

    By my navigation skills he should be landing on the Stormgarde keep, but Kiith is right about the statues so whoever made the vid didnt put much effort in outside the looks :P

    Wotlk trailer was better imo even though their very similar, both show a dragon breaking from the ground then sweeping the plains in an impressive fashion although Sindragosa sweeping over an undead army looked better.

    Yeah, Im with you there. Looks great as usual but it lacks a little bit of depth that i expected after the wotlk one.

    What made the wrath intro so good was the dead king Terenas letter to his son as voiceover. That was that was the touch of genius about it.

    I enjoyed it, especially the way that Deathwing's literally leave a rain of fire behind them, but they definitely have done better trailers before. Warcraft 3 is still their finest hour with regards to cinematics, with Thrall and Grom vs. Mannorath or Arthas destroying Lorderon being the best.

    I like the focus on Deathwing's armor. It's a big part of his lore, and probably quite importart for us as the expansion unfolds.

    P.S. What flight speed speed does he have? Looked like 1000%!

    You assume he flew in a straight path. Looks like he burst out of the earth from some snowy mountains north of Auberdine. Northrend? Then he flies north across the Wetlands before landing in Azeroth. Dont forget he also had to find time to raze Booty Bay and many other locations. A joyride if you will.

    But my goodness for a dragon he's fairly emo.

    Simpler story in this cinematic, I think. More of a blockbuster :D

    Deathwing's here.
    He gonna fuck shit up.

    ...like a giant wasp.

    Looked amazing, once again the scripting and voice acting aren't up to scratch.

    He sounded slightly less retarded than Illidan I suppose.

    doesnt have a scratch on the original intro or tbc one really.
    I thought the wotlk one was kinda boring to. This is does not excite me at all.

    Wotlk intro was unbelieveable, I'd never got goosebumps watching a video game intro, so much so that I still listen to the song that plays in that intro, its pretty tremendous.

    I enjoyed this one, I thought there was a good feel about the impending destruction, the loud clatter of armour being pierced onto him, the hollow drums, I thought it was cool.
