Blender does not have Animation Blend Trees nor does it have Animation State 
Machines. Like many things, you can hack a basic one together using Python with 
some effort, but the Blender Game Engine does not have them out of the box. I 
was quite specific about what was missing (and present in Unity) and I checked 
again before posting.

Sorry, but there is a *big* difference between being able to send messages over 
the network (Python) and being able to just toggle on game object state 
synchronisation (Unity). There is more to claiming multiplayer support than 
having a TCP/IP pipe available. Just as there is more to having built-in 
Animation State Machine support than just a Turing complete scripting language.

I'm not trying to belittle the BGE, but I'm not speaking out of ignorance 
either.
