warcraft 3

just finished playing a little warcraft 3 beta.

Pretty fun - still gotta learn some of the units.

However it seemed to me a little bit too similar to the earlier warcrafts - these were classic, great games, but this game seems to add little besides a 3d view.

To me this 3d view adds little to the game. I didn't see much I didn't see years ago in warcraft 2.

However maybe there is more to the game - only played it once so far.
still fun.

At long last warcraft is coming out!! remeber back in 98 warcraft adventure was meant to be out but instead we saw Starcraft, not complaining afterall Starcraft is great.

How did u get Warcraft 3? was it from signing up to that link on blizzards web page? Warcraft )

anyway enjoy it

Ohhhhhhhhh man I wish I would of signed up for the beta. The odds of getting picked were really good, 1 outta of 20 entries got picked.

hmm

why dont you just download the iso of the beta and some multiplayers patches and play it online

you can dl server software too, and put up an own server (which takes 5 seconds)

greetZ!

btw

broodwar (starcraft expansion) > warcraft 3 easily

greetZ!

Like going going quests, intercatin gwith other players.

yeah but WoW will require you to pay-per-play or something along paying money.

i myself too have played wc3 beta. and believe me, there is a totally new dimension to the game that's different than the previous titles.

the units in this game work much more coherantly than any of the older games, kinda like what starcraft revolutionized. plus, the introduction of heroes and lvling and whatnot gives it an edge over most rts's. it's awesome gathering items, i've found a couple in a game and man, it was hype. the items do help out quite a bit.

and on a personal note, i love how heroes learn more powerful spells are they get stronger too. i dunno. just check it out.

too bad shit load of balancing still needz to be done

hopefully 1.10 patch will rectify more than half of em.

you guys do know you can play it without being a beta tester right its on like free servers tho that dont require a key its been round for a while kinda like a warez release... i played it through this and i thought its alright... i dunno its lacking something

Posted by Piet on Mar-09-2002 20:18:

i don't know if the warez versions get the updates? But a new update just came out v 1.1 and it changed some things to try and balance it more - not sure if it worked or made things worse but they added some new stuff too. its a good game.

Yeah, the 1.10 patch does a ton of balancing, and the newer 1.11 patch does even more.

I've never played the Warcraft series before but I gotta say this is pretty fun.

all strategy games r boring now. too fuckin fomulaic. u do the same shit. u harvest, chop wood, or some other way to get money. then u build up and army go attack defend and blah blah. boring shit. i remember when i bought command & conquer red alert 6 years ago. that was the best shit ever. better then starcraft and any other strategy game up to date. now all the games still use the same formula and r boring. nothing innovative in them. c&c renegade came out and it sucks too. even though its a 3d game and u get to control units and shit, the objective of the game is still boring. u either go and kill the base or defend. u cant even build in the game. only control units. anyway, strategy games r fuckin aweful these days. the whole genre should be wiped out like fuckin hardhouse
