Grew up playing II, would love a remaster of that.
Who do I give a blowjob as thanks for this? Sweet baby jesus I've been waiting for this for YEARS.
I can't believe I just lost No Nut November on day 2.
Don't buy nuts on November next time.
Yooo, WC3 kept me company for almost an entire decade. I'm so excited for this!
Wow I remember playing it to death because it had an amazing map editor and tools to make all kinds of shit. Starcraft 2 had a really poor way to see what people were playing so I never got into it. I hope they learn from starcraft 2 and keep the custom map system intuitive.
I look forward to seeing nothing but DoTA maps when trying to find some TD to relax with.
RIP UNDEAD DRAGON RUSH
I know Blizzard are far from perfect, but the amount of respect and attention given to the games that made them what they are today is so heart warming to see. Shame it isn't the norm.
Long overdue.
I just hope the custom game scene is oversaturated with those shitty hero arena games *cough* that kind of killed off the custom game creativity in the first place.
Totally. I used to love the old C&C games, I feel like my rts skills have reduced as i've aged and it makes me feel stupid
Yeah except that mine stayed consistently nonexistent instead.
Time to play DOTA 3 on this.
I wonder if they'll make a converter for old custom games. That'd suck for the original authors that aren't around still, but it means they're not starting from scratch in terms of custom content.
I probably was never any good, but it was so long ago it feels like I was haha. I was young when I played those games...
I don't really think that's going to happen given that they intentionally damage their maps to compress & protect them
This is an incredibly stupid practice honestly, I hope people stop doing this.
They had good reasons for it
it was super common for people to modify maps to rig them in their favor, and there wasn't much of a way for players joining the games to tell. This is one problem sc2's custom game system actually does a p. good job of addressing tbh. Also, compression is still actually pretty important in wc3. Downloading games from hosts is still slow as fuck and the tools to compress and protect maps do a really good job at reducing the map size.
Although it really does suck when maps are broken, and no one's around to fix it. I think if map makers are planning to go AWOL they really oughta upload and unprotected version somewhere.

I am very interested in this, I always wanted to play the Warcraft RTS titles, but I'm pretty annoyed they don't even have a release date yet put it up for preordering. What's next, 'it's done when it's done somewhen before 2030 but go ahead and preorder our $299 Collector's Edition'?
i feel like they don't look like the same person they were originally
I didn't miss it, the store page just states "Pre-purchase: Warcraft® III: Reforged releases on or before December 31, 2019." which is what I mean. Usually when you open a game for preorders, you have a date to announce with it, too, not just a vague year.
I don't know about those updated graphics, they feel just like those custom maps where people would shove as many WoW models as they could. The fact the ground textures seem to be the same but just desaturated (everything's very desaturated) doesn't help it...
I still have my original disk and I remember buying at GameStop in 2004. Was one of the first PC games I really put hundreds of hours into and ignoring my GF for.
So am I the only one or do the new graphics look a lot worse than the old ones? It could just be that I’ve never been fond of the WoW art direction, but old wc3 models have a charm to them that these new ones don’t have
I don't think they look much like WoW either.
i like the new visuals. they said they wanted to steer away from WoW's cartoony graphics and make WC3 Reforged slightly more realistic and gritty which is a-okay with me. It is still cartoony but not to the amount WoW is
Things have been smoothed out a bit, yes, but to say it resembles WoW's art style is more than a little short-sighted.
Fuck, just look at Arthas or Jaina, they look so good. I was never very good at WC3 but I'm so tempted to get this.
Yeah base WC3s more cartoonish artstyle was probably more to do with making a 3d game with at the time limited tech that still looked good.
RIP everyones square feet
Idk Arthas looks awful to me. Also the higher quality models make the cutscene’s lack of animations really stand out.
