Battlenet and the mentioned games are miles ahead from TW.

The balance, the quick patches, the tons of player, the maps.... hell, battlenet is actual working, there are tourneys.


Indeed, it is very hard to compare, but one thing for sure, blizz is really working on the MP part. On the other hand, it is very hard to turn a game like TW in something similar like WC3.
WC3 or SC2 is good balanced (SC2 need some more patches), there are many ways to counter your enemy, its a very nice teamgame and what i really love about it, you can lose a battle, but you dont lose the whole game.
You can always come back and turn the fight, thats something TW will never reach.... hard to compare.
