They offered a free refund when they delayed the release. Wasnt impress by the beta at all. Ive been spoiled with playing too much starcraft2 and goin back to the old war3 engine just doesnt work for me. Game wasnt smooth at all, unit movements not precise, speed felt off. I could on but is simply realised i didnt wanna play systems that are over 2 decades old. My pink colored sunglasses werent pink enough

Weird flex but alright
I loved this game but definitely waiting on reviews. SC2 is hard to beat for me

I probably should have refunded, but I guess I'm looking forward to tinkering with this.... really though it's not my kind of game anymore. I like my RTSes more like Supreme Commander, a bit grander in scale with massive armies. The camera on Warcraft 3 (and Starcraft 2) makes me feel almost claustrophobic. Would be cool if there was a mod that let you zoom out significantly further and let you manage a true horde of hundreds of units.
Even an approach closer to Age of Empires would be a big improvement.

If you haven't played the campaign since the 2004 era, it is still a lot of fun. If your $30 gets you to revisit it, it will be worth your time and money.
Here is the thing though, the old/original client is still great. It looks fine, performs flawlessly. Over the last 15 years, I have probably gone back and played through all of the campaigns 4 times on Hard difficulty and they hold up better than most modern RTS games.
At first, I was stoked to hear they were working on a Reforged version of the game, but as I saw Grubby and others playing it on Twitch, my impression was that it looks like a cheap knock off of the original. It made me really think, "what is the point?"
If only they would have taken the time and effort and put it towards WC4. Of, course that assumes they even have the talent at Blizz to make a good-new WC game now which I highly doubt.

I haven't been following this at all, but I am a fan of WC3 so I picked this up today. Now granted it's probably been years since I've played through the original game's campaign, but I seem to remember Thrall's prologue campaign was only like three little missions right? I am currently on
New models and all look good, btw.
mission four of the prologue and I do not remember Thrall and his troll pals getting captured by Murlocs on an island in the Maelstrom. Did they say they added extra missions or am I not remembering this right lol?
New models and all look good, btw.
Super high res textures, and high quality audio. They probably future proofed the textures, so quality to account for 8k (not just 4k) wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility.

The original demo was 5 prologue missions. The final release of WC3 cut the prologue down to 2 missions, the 3 cut missions were playable through TFT or something.

The model polycount is significantly higher than anything else in wc3. It doesn't seem like a crazy amount but then multiply that by hundreds of units and hundreds of buildings. I personally enjoyed the low poly aesthetic of wc3 but it's pretty cool seeing the world rebuilt to modern day standards.
That said, I'm enjoying the campaign a lot even though I've beaten it like 20 times.

double post but it's sad to see Blizzard is still affected by refusing to work with Icefrog on DOTA 2 multiple times and then seeing a billion dollar franchise go to another company, so to solve that this is their response
It's actually insanely gross, even the wording is gross
