    1. Add some shadows finally, they was in alpha and beta tests of multiplayer.
    2. Nice no refunds for players.
    3. Good new policy about map creators.
    4. Change already all that **** on your website about warcarft 3 reforged, coz you didn't even made 40% of that.
    5. Don't even try to blame Activision in that one.

    Blizzard don't care about their fans anymore, they have just overwritten, a perfectly fine 17 year old classic, with this broken, unfinished garbage.

    I grew up with WarCraft series with Warcraft III being the highlight of the series.

    I grew up with WarCraft series with Warcraft III being the highlight of the series.

Unfortunately the final product resembles nothing like what has been advertised for 2 years now.

    The game is different from trailers and advertised materials in so many ways besides how bad the remaster is itself. It does not include 4+ hrs of redone cut scenes and resemble nothing like what was displayed in the trailers. The UI was not redone. Ladder, clans, etc. are missing. The game runs sluggish even on my top of the line system. They even went back and brought problems with the new game and forced them into the older version of the game making the games inoperable.

    Avoid this game. If you bought it, request a refund.

    A game I’m very much enjoying. Could they have done more? Sure. But it’s wonderful to revisit this world again with enhanced graphics and a few new mechanics. Is it worth the re-bombing being done by people who've not even played the game? No.

That said, go pirate the original because they overrode it with Reforged on Battle.net and that is never, EVER a good move, but more importantly Blizzard doesn't deserve your money.
    The terms of service of the world editor were changed so that you effectively sign over your rights as a creative if you use it meaning that if anything you make ever becomes as popular as DotA Blizzard is free to grab it, pretend it's their work and of course earn money off of it. Custom games are what kept WCIII alive for almost two decades and the creative freedom of modding is one of the staples of PC gaming, to go against it is a Goddamn crime.
    With all that said, even without all the controversy, it's not worth your money. You effectively only get a graphics overhaul that you may not even like (I know I don't) albeit some missions seem to have been significantly altered or remade entirely, I've only seen one thus far but there might be more.
    Regardless, Warcraft III is a significant chunk of my childhood and the amount of disrespect it has received from the very people whose careers exist because of it is sickening, don't give Blizzard you money, don't support them on this, pirate the game and play it the way the real Blizzard intended.

    Sadly that company is no longer with us, as those with that opinion have either been forced out or retired, and all we're left with is the husk of what was once an amazing team. Like junkies we keep coming back hoping for one more fix of that old magic, but it's looking increasingly like that will never be a thing again.

    The score should be negative really, because this new pile of code made the existing game worse, while also carefully making sure no one is able to play the old better game in its original state. This is what you get when people that don't know anything about gaming and their community, get to call the shots.

    The delivered product is an unfinished buggy mess, Blizzard has the audacity to continue to falsely advertise game features that do not appear. (Check out the Culling campaign trailers they use on the playwarcraft website and what actually appears in game).

    I love Warcraft 3 and WC3 Frozen throne, I have very happy memories of playing it and the custom maps for hours on end (which is another point of contention, the new updated EULA stifles creativity). I had hoped that a remaster would breathe new life into a classic, but instead Reforged is a slap in the face for fans and the WC3 community.

    No rating can truly represent the disappointment, the resentment felt by the loyal player base and the overwhelming disgust we as a community have for what Blizzard have become.

    I have not been this dissapointed since Anthem. Warcraft 3 was one of the first games I played on PC and this is nothing but a ghost of a promise. Since others have went into far further detail than I have I will just post a quick list of what was removed from a 16 year old game.

This game makes me fear for the future of Blizzard and one of my other favorite series Diablo.

    Huge fan here, spent over 500$ on the originals..This reforged abomination is everything that is wrong today with Blizzard. I hope they can see themselves in a mirror for what it is - a lazy unfinished thoughtless horrible cash grab.

    They not only had the nerve to release a game that has LESS than its original counterpart but also went as far as crippling the latter (yes, the 20 year old game) with a patch that removed features and broke game modes to bring it down to par with the new one.

    I am now glad they ended up not remastering Diablo 2.

    This was full of broken promises. Blizzard managed to fire 800 people during development and it shows. The game should have been as promised with the updated story. I actually made this metacritic account because of how upset and disappointed I am in the game. The game runs very poorly.

    Thank God I have an old version backed up. I've been playing since release, and can't believe they would remove features from the existing copies. If WC3R is just an HD texture pack, why remove features like custom campaigns or even shadows? This was clearly rushed out the door. I'm not asking for anything more than to fix the old version. No one will have supported this if they knew whatThank God I have an old version backed up. I've been playing since release, and can't believe they would remove features from the existing copies.

    Es el mismo juego que el original y no añade nada salvo modelos, texturas y audios de voz en HD.
    El nombre Reforged le queda grande. Hubiera sido mas realista sacar el juego como un HD con un precio similar a Age Of Empires 2. La mayoría de los fans están decepcionados por lo que podría haber sido y no fue. Y lo que es peor, mucho de este contenido fue anunciado y luego fue quitado del juego.

    “This entire department must be purged.”

    It’s clear that Blizzard’s 2018 layoffs to “non-development roles” has and will continue to have ramifications for years to come. Putting feature development over quality assurance leads to neither features nor quality, and this absolute disaster of a product is both a testament to that fact and a tangible monument to J. Allen Brack’s hubris.

    I try not to overreact to bad decisions like showing footage that doesn't hit the game. I try to be reasonable in what I consider a score for a game. But this game straight up earns the big fat goose egg for two reasons.

    First off it blocks owners of the original game from playing it anymore as the old client is no longer supported. That's unacceptable. But more importantly the sheer

    But more importantly the sheer avarice of Acti-Blizzard of laying claim to all custom mods and game modes because they see how much money the MOBA genre has made after starting in the original Warcraft III. But they didn't come up with the idea of DOTA; it just used their assets. They have no claim on that intellectual property. So screw you Blizzard, for that alone this deserves a zero.

    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.
