Warcraft 3 in Starcraft 2?

Even after 11 years Warcraft 3 is still played and it seems that this trend won't end so soon. With it came the idea of fans to create a modification of the game in Starcraft 2 bringing with it the visual side of Warcraft 3.  The developers are planning to create new units as well as changing the games interface so that the player does not feel like he is playing a new Warcraft. Fingers crossed guys! We all hope you will succeed.
