    So i was hyped and thought i could re live my experience , i bought the game and well i couldn't play it. I mean connection issues,and the latency. I mean even the game look so old and like a mobile game . This was poorly done.

    Reforged ? More like Downgraded. Apart from the new models (which admittedly are nice) they've removed so much from what it once was.
    The promises (as still shown on there webpage at this time) of extra content, redone cutscenes and the like are all not in the game.
    All gone what we are left with is a broken game, with broken sounds, models It's a shame.

    Everybody wanted a better online experience for Warcraft III, except Blizzard, who removed as many features as they could, and disabled the old battle.net service so that nobody could play the game there. Nobody cares about the graphics, that's why the community score for the game is so low.

    This is a big fat middle finger to all once loyal players to the original Blizzard and ROC & TFT. This deserves to be bombed and criticized and I do hope the top dogs at the greedy as f** company will be punished for this.

    Terrible launch experience, mediocre cutscenes, watered-down selling points, and a refund policy that seems intentionally made just to be a pain in the ass to use; reforged is just another example of why not to pre-order any games. Also having cut content still being advertised to this day on your official website borders on false advertisement

    - The cinematics.. the intro is quite decent. But of course it is. That's what they were going to used to show the game off... But then the human cinematic with the king, felt like D2 quality. The illidan and Arthas fight was ok, the original managed more intensity to it, don't know if the smirking was needed, just want a serious demon vs undead death knight fight. Felt like it was done just going through the motions of what the original was for the sake of it. Weak sauce.

    - "there will be hotkey configuration in game" -> No hotkey configuration in game lol. You got standard (yeah.. i'm not swinging all the way to "P" to create a peasant...). You got Grid , you can't custom ANY key though, i might of got used to but no i'm not using R, For attack move. So here we are.. back to the old days of "custom" needing to RELY on THE COMMUNITY.. FOR A PRESET so i can play the game to my liking.. well.. to as best it can be. I'm NOT going through ALL the keys. So i suffice with what QWER is, learn it and use for the short duration i'll play this game... I mean it's only 2020.. no hotkey settings in options is, very weak sauce.

    - I liked seeing how the orc peons still use an "AXE" to repair or build . It's like they had given up on developments months ago. Weak sauce.

    - I've noticed the pathing to be a bit odd at times, There was a clear gap between building and forest tress, but for some reason riflemen went ALL around.. ??... weak sauce.

Absolutely not, but at least I won't be so disgusted by the company that I might consider buying or playing something else. Until this is fixed, the message is clear. If you're a fan, **** off. Blizzard doesn't need you. They're tired of you and your modest requests for quality and integrity. All they need is money.    … Expand

    They lied about the cut scenes and game crashes a lot. The graphics are bad and it's hard to distinct between units during competitive game play. The voice actors are the same one from the old Game. DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF **** GAME, IT IS A **** SCAM. I HATE YOU ACTIVISION.

    Unlike most remasters, this release actually did harm to the main game. That which is wrong with Reforged has spread like the Scourge plague to the original game. Therefore, this re-release has done something I've never seen before: it reduced the quality of its base game. Most remasters are separate entities; you could, for example, play Baldur's Gate, if you don't like Enhanced Edition. However, Activision Blizzard went ahead and replaced Warcraft 3.

    This remaster, having done harm to its base game, merits a negative score. However, zero is the lowest we can go, so that is what I give it.    … Expand

    This is very sad situation - corporate greed killed this game. The number of features which were false advertising is immense. The old version had much more to offer (shadows, unit animations, all the social features, etc...). Blizzard has killed any creativity with their new EULA and not allow for refunds with helpful users getting a ban. What a disaster of a game...

    Warcraft: Refunded

    Overall Blizzard managed to make this game worse than the game which was made 18 years ago. They deleted everything people loved about this game. "We're too late, the devs have been infected. This entire game must be purged." Or updated thousands of times. Tonns of old and new promised features was removed. Let's see: -Cut all the promised new cutscenes -Cut all    Warcraft: Refunded

This entire game must be purged." Or updated thousands of times. Tonns of old and new promised features was removed.

    Let's see:
    -Cut all the promised new cutscenes
    -Cut all the new english voice acting
    -Cut out promised new story content
    -No custom keybinds
    -New nice looking models/icons/effects/animations. Really pleasing to the eye. (I like them, but essentially the core of the game was cut out so nobody need it without the old good stuff. They want 30$ for a new skin/model pack on the same old game)
    -New unit models have less creative animations that look identical to each other. Some units that had multiple attack animations in Classic WC3 left with more animation variety than their Reforged counterparts.
    -New localization. Foreign dubs which are inferior and compulsory, can NOT be changed back
    -New Arthas vs Illidan cutscene looks terrible. Like a cheap anime fight.
    -Intentional False advertisement (Cutscenes is not at all like in The Culling Campaign Trailer, ect.)
    -No more custom campaign functionality (A lot of good campaigns was made and polished by fans throughout all the years since original game release and to this day. Some do have voice acting, custom models, effects ect.)
    -No more Cross-region play. Custom game list is no longer global. (You can't play custom games with players from other realms/regions meaning it’s much harder to find players and fill game lobbies)
    -New acceptable policy. The world editor’s EULA has been changed. In short, the custom game scene has a lot of new limitations and a lot of older maps are going to be killed off.
    -Copyrighted material from third parties is not allowed in any custom maps. (Which means a multitude of older maps, such as Anime Fight, DBZ Tribute, Pimp My Mario, ect, are now banned AND cannot be remade)
    -Custom maps now have a report button so blizz can ban maps and ban people hosting them
    -All ownership of custom games in Reforged belongs to Blizz and not the creators, and blizz are not required to compensate them in any way if they use it. Any custom game made in Warcraft 3: Reforged cannot be replicated anywhere else. This gives Blizz the power to shut down any standalone versions of custom games made in Reforged.
    -Censorship in maps and game names, for example a lobby called “booty bay” cannot be hosted, even though it’s the name of an official WC3 map, etc.)

    I assume this will lead to people pirate old ver the game, patch revert and use private servers to play maps and campaigns they love.

    To me this looks like the end of a long, fun and creative wc3 custom maps era. One of the most creative gaming communities destroyed by new policies. Blizz killed their gold eggs hen.

    -No more clans, profiles, friend list, ladder (ranked matchmaking, stats, auto tournaments).
    -No more LAN functionality
    -No more offline games versus the AI
    -Can no longer have more than 1 account
    -No more Beautiful UI/menus (in reforged client the menus feel sluggish and less optimised. The chat box overlaps the menus, atmospheric 3D campaign backgrounds are gone, etc.)
    -The old client is gone, even if you don't own Reforged you're forced into replacing it if you ever connect to battlenet. (Classic will go to the new menu and chat system (No Ref graphics)
    -Classic graphics in Ref client look worse (Miss shadows, saturation is off, miss spells/effects)
    -No more "/commands"
    -Removed the Dryad's "I'm so wasted" joke voice line, and probably more other units lines.
    -Removed custom game filter
    -No more built-in auto tournament function
    -No MMR system
    -No more Reign of Chaos balance for the RoC campaign (changed to TFT)
    -The end of match summary doesn't tell you useful info like before
    -No more 3D animated portraits in B.net
    -No more 3D animated campaign backgrounds
    -No more The Frozen Throne menu screen
    -No more B.net News section
    -No more cross-chat with Diablo 2 players

    I hope they will add/restore all of the good things via updates/patches, and then maybe these games (at least old one) will be playable again.

    I hope someday we will find out what happened during development of Reforged. The story of what led to such atrocities and abominations. What went wrong? Oversight? Laziness? Time constraints? Plain unconcern? Greed?

    Release of this game is finally convinced me that this is the end of old Blizzard that cared and respected themsethemselves, their work, people that play and love their games. Now it is Activision-Blizzard. RIP dear heroes of the past.

    The unannounced change in EULA stating that custom maps are the intellectual property of Blizzard is untenable. Custom maps were the cornerstone of the old StarCraft/WarCraft products upon which their communities were built and upon which they endured. Until now.

    The only saving grace for me was that Blizzard did process my refund (manual ticket) fairly promptly (14 hours or so.)

I've played Blizzard games practically religiously for over 15 years, with the past few years feeling more and more like I was in an abusive relationship with them. I'm not giving them another cent until they fix this game and apologize, and I'm certainly never pre-ordering from them ever again regardless of what they do now.

I feel that this is especially important, because no matter how you spin it, Blizzard has purposefully worsened an old product, blatantly retroactively removed a feature that was part of the game for 17 years. But it also confirms what they were trying to do by merging the two versions and force downloading gigabytes of Reforged files for those who don’t own and have no intention of owning it. They've also made hosting many of the most popular maps that made the game popular in the first place, and alive for so long, a bannable offence, so no more maps referencing copyrighted IPs. Their excuse is that they made it to protect themselves, but it's been like this for 17 years with no problems. There’s also silly censorship in the game, and they’re purging their forums. If they truly wished best for their most loyal customers, and had any sort of dignity, they'd have left it as was. If I could go into negative numbers in the score then I would've, because aside from this being it's own disaster, where no mental gymnastics can justify a quarter of its price, it also intentionally, retrospectively ruins the original. I could go on, and on with what's so bad about it, and the bad keep coming. Likewise, I could go on about Blizzard scamming people by false advertising Blizzcon, the Blitzchung controversy, appropriation of publicly funded tournament prize poll, the list doesn't end. It is unbelievable that this is Blizzard, but it is and has been for a long time now, and I was already fooling myself when I stood in the line, in rain and night, for hours, waiting for the store to open and start selling Diablo 3. I got two copies, including the collector's, believing to the bitter end. Diablo 4 doesn't show much promise either. But!

    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.
