Its not gonna happe guys. There is just too much data to push from one end
to another. what we are running into here is a lack of data transferr
technology...mainly analog mode speeds. there are just too many polygons to
be able to quickly re-represent the on both machines without faster
hardware. 

the biggest reason Doom2, Decent, Duke3D, work so well is the graphical
code is so much simpler. there is just less to move from one side to the
other. Besides, your comparing it to technology that is at least 3 to 4
years old. At least be fair. Warcraft isnt even the same type of game and
cant possibly be compare to a 3D fist person shooter such as Quake. 

If any of you guys are programmers....download the code for quake attatched
to this document. Then find source for an older 3D game such as those
mentioned above. youll find that they are drastically different and the
quake source is quite a bit more advanced. I think id did the best they
could with what they had considering the already massive delays with
getting Quake on the shelves.

Just my opinion...
Quake Rocks!!,
thanks JohnC :-)
