But they didn't do that for WC3... or 2... =|

WC1 just didn't have a snow tileset at all.

I'm pretty sure the point isn't that there's never ANY snow EVER until an expansion... since both WC3 and WoW have snow a plenty.

The expansions just seem to focus on snowy areas disproportionately.

...that or it's just a joke. ;)

I wonder what inspires Blizzard to focus a lot on snow in their expansions...

Dawn of War did it too with its first expansion 'Winter Assault' :p.

I didnt play much Dawn of War 2, but it looks as though an ice tileset was held back for that game's expansion, as well ^____^.

Oh yeah, and back on the subject of Blizzard's games, there's also the Diablo 2 expansion - snow there! Wooo :p.

Anyway, the Braxis planet is apparently a different planet in the Braxis system.

Wait, what? The Braxis in SC2 isn't going to be the snow planet from the first one?

It got melted, but we were told it refroze. Maybe Braxis got cut from the final game, and will reappear in Heart of the Swarm. Or maybe Blizzard made an error when they said there's no snow tileset. We have seen pictures of said tileset before (back in alpha, when it looked crappy).
