    It was blatantly falsely advertised, even after it was released and I highly doubt they plan on rectifying the faults and missing content they promised even after release before changing the website to better reflect it's current state, in the mess it's in. (Unlike No Man's Sky, which is actually trying to flesh out it's original vision)

    Remaster of games that actually removes things instead of adding them. I never give 0 but this one is well deserved as it is insane cash grab. LAN play removed. Do I have to say more? It is downgrade to good old game as original WC3 was basically removed. If you do not have reforged menu is grey which is clear split into my face from Lulzzard.

    While the game itself does not deserve a 0, I'll still give it this score because of everything Blizzard has done, and the way they've acted. It pains me that one of my favorite game of all time has such low rating, but I can only agree with the majority that Blizzard deserve all of this.

Beautiful campaign selection 3d scenes were removed! No more LAN option. No more old localization available. And the main menu is Chroumium based browser! How is that even possible?

    Blizzard, you've lost yourself and I don't know if you'll ever be able to find yourself again. The choices you made in this 'remaster' are terribly disappointing and only make me glad that I can go back and play the good games you gave me and forget the company you've become. If this is the direction you're taking going forward, good luck, you're gonna need it.

    1. Terms of Service: "Custom Games are and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Blizzard. Without limiting the foregoing, you hereby assign to Blizzard all of your rights, title, and interest in and to all Custom Games ..."

    The custom games that I would have loved to have played this game for, and also to have spent hours creating some, would have apparently only been food for the bottomless mouth of greed which Blizzard insists on aggressively enforcing upon their paying customers regardless if that would wipe away any, or all of their human rights.

    In the real world, if you create something, if you put something together yourself (outside of your contractual work) you own it because... you are the one who created it. This right apparently shall no longer be of value as it seems even the title you put on your custom game shall not be something you own as soon as you submit it in the game you payed to play.

    Cool Blizzard, when can I expect my next salary?

    2. Numerous bugs and false promises that others have been mentioning all along.

    I could honestly begin to start putting effort into understanding and somewhat accepting SOME of your beyond scummy aggressive new TOS rules if the game was flawless, polished and with a ton of features. But when you present us with a broken, low-effort mess and disgusting TOS like that on top of it, how could anyone in their right mind participate in this and be happy about it?

    Great job of putting your most loyal, long-time customers into a position to either miss out on their nostalgia-driven passion or be a part of some of the worst examples of awful, shameless and greedy industry problems.

Llevaba mucho tiempo esperando con muchisimas ganas Warcraft III reforged o un hipotetico Warcraft IV, ademas como mi mas preciado deseo esperaba un Diablo II HD o Remaster, ahora he cambiado por completo mi opinion: NO TOQUEIS DIABLO 2.

    Se han cargado todos los mapas a los que jugaba, se han cargado el juego antiguo, se han cargado la interfaz, no han cumplido en nada en lo referente a la campaña, las voces y la cinematica, y para si fuera poco el match making es peor que el anterior, ademas me han quitado la posibilidad de seguir jugando a mi juego antiguo de siempre.

    Lo han hecho mucho peor de lo que lo hicieron con el Stacraft clasico. Blizzard, la compañia que ocupa en mi casa una estanteria entera de ediciones coleccionistas, y figuras, para mi, esta muerta.

    Nunca volvere a confiar en ellos, y dificilmente vuelva a invertir un duro en sus juegos.

    The only reason the critics didn't gave it 0 is becouse warcraft was a great game and the gameplay is defending itself.

    I am giving 0/10 to bli$$ard - Hope activision will disband the firm.

    Nothing's ok with this game :
    - graphic downgrade since the Blizzcon presentation,
    - advertised features are missing, - bugs and crash, - company refuses to refound, and even bans user who askw for a refound, - crappy general conditions, if you make a mod it becomes Blizzard property. Okay guys, I got it : you are not any longer able to make a correct game, so you ame to steal your

    Their remastered made the game way worse. They made the older, more superior version, unplayable in favor of this one. They lied about everything they promised for this game. I actively hate everyone who works on this game. That's how bad it is. They butchered it, they ruined it.

    Even after all the cut-content, Blizzard has kept outright lies on the Reforged website still advertising 4+ hours of cut-scenes and is using footage from Blizzcon (that isn't even in the game) to sell the game. This false-advertising is outright disgusting and I believe is enough to justify giving this game a 0 score.

    The ONE new cutscene that actually did make it into the game

    The ONE new cutscene that actually did make it into the game (Illidan vs Arthas) was outsourced to a studio in Malaysia and the end result is terribly animated, with terrible models, has no music, and everything is static (hair and boot fur don't move).

    The old cutscenes from 20 years ago are better.

    P.S. Don't even get me started on features that were removed from the original!

    The game is poorly done, simple as that. It didn't fulfill the expectation that they themselves set, the overall quality is lacking at the most generous, and the legal stranglehold they're trying to establish over anything in the vein of custom games is concerning at the absolute least. Avoid at all costs whether you're a returning player or a new initiate.

    You can't remaster one of the best your games by this way.
    - No new UI
    - No new cutscenes (just the old ones rescaled)
    - Lots of old features missing
    - Bad idea with custom maps
    etc

    It's amazing how this "new and improved" version has actually managed to make an 18 year old game worse.

    Activision has ruined blizzard. It's no longer by gamers for gamers. Instead, it's by greedy capitalists for shareholders. They cut corners, did false advertising, and the game is plagued with bugs and bad performance. Nothing like the games the blizzard of old used to put out.

    I pre-ordered as soon as I heard about this classic getting a complete overhaul.
    Should have not done that, and should have requested a refund before playing a few missions as I cannot get my money back now.
    Game is not really an upgrade, you can see some touches of where it was updated but overall is a disappointment.

    Worse than the original game in all respects (except for unit models). The changes in campaign are negligible, the original version is no longer available and the cutscenes remained the same. But most importantly, Blizzard lied to their fans and ripped them off.

    Blizzard games used to be known as polished masterpieces, games and content that would set the bar for their genre. DIablo, Diablo 2, World of Warcraft, Starcraft, Warcraft, The Lost Vikings... the list goes on.

    What we've been given with this game is a steaming pile of garbage. They not only disgraced and ruined the "Reforged" version of WC3, but they also retroactively forced users of

    There is not a single redeeming factor of Warcraft 3 Reforged. If it were possible to give a game a negative score, this would be deserving, as it not only is a terrible game, a poorly made rushed cash grab, outsourced garbage, but it also ruined another game in the process.

    Absolutely disgraceful. Blizzard, I can't imagine how much shame you feel.

    This release removes so many features, has so many bugs and falls so short of the expectations set by the trailers that it sows how incompetent Blizz has become. I have played mods made by single individuals that are more polished than this game. The game reeks of being rushed, "fix it later" I imagine was decided. This is not worth money AT ALL in its current state. DO NOT BUY.

I'm here to finally tell you off in a place that will most certainly be scrapped for data. It is my naive hope that this will somehow prompt change in a once great pillar of gaming.

    To be short, I lost faith in your company a long time ago. It was the day of Overwatch's launch to be specific, though I shouldn't have given you the business even then after the Diablo 3 real money auction house. Activision/Blizzard I have watched you go from a great publisher & developer to a pitiful excuse of either in the 4 years since.

    From one mistake to another you've lost my custom and my faith, and while I had no reason to hope for a quality product from you, I did wish for you to turn it around.
    But enough is enough. I do not want to give you any more. No more hype, no more acclaids, not even passive data collection, and though you haven't received a penny from me in years I am now resolved to no longer buying any game with your names on the cover from this day forth.

    I ever I get nostalgic, I'm going to boot up an old PC that isn't connected to the internet, install the games off CDs, and enjoy reminiscing a time when you were once was great. A time from before you fell from grace.

    I may no longer be your target demographic, but if these other 12500+ negative reviews are anything to go by, you might have have many targets left if you mess up like this again.

    My condolences to the ground level developers, CM, and PR, I can only imagine what hell they must be going through.

    Absolutely trash game from a trash company. Rolling back on features, and taking content not their own because they are so unoriginal they have to steal from others

    Blizzard has addressed some of the complaints and criticism hurled its way, and has promised to work on many of these issues. Naturally, one must ask why the game was released in such a state, especially considering the negative attention the company has garnered over the past year with the reveal of Diablo Immortal and the Blizzard/China controversy.

    In the end it’s worth noting that when viewing a remake or remaster what needs to be taken into consideration is the source material, how it looks, feels, and plays. That is, in addition to the work carried out to recreate moments, update visuals, and change any of the presentation. To do otherwise would be silly, a terrible game with a wonderful remaster doesn’t warrant a high score. In the case of Warcraft III, the inverse to that is also true. So, what we end up with is something in-between. A classic reborn, in a package that doesn’t warrant all that much in the way of celebration.

    If you set your expectations a little lower, then Warcraft 3: Reforged is a game worth of your time and money. Sadly, for many of us out there, we were expecting a little more.
