    Blizzard needs to learn a lesson, past glory can only take you so far with releasing **** products. This is a Fallout 76 fiasco all over again.

    I am one of those people who loved the old campaign but only stayed for thr custom games.I pre ordered war3 reforged in hopes of a revived custom game scene.Then i saw the news regarding ownership and refunds....warcraft 3 custom scene didnt just die...it was killed when you consider that war 3 classic is not available anymore.

    oversold underdelivered hype that I now expect for blizzard. Why do they ruin every new game they release since Activision. Theb when you request a refund after spending 3 hours trying to optimise it as it runs so poorly you can't! Disgraceful

    They completely tarnished it. The game has been a complete failure and is only a regression of the original game. A disappointment.

    One big **** Not only is the game released a bottom and a cash leap. Made overwhelmingly, they have destroyed the classic version that cannot be installed. Like the graphics can be changed but the Polish language version has also been changed to the bottom one from the reforged version. only with CDs you can play a good old game. at blizzard, the finite donkeys make their decisions.

    "Better" is an enemy of "good" and "quality". I hope that people will refund the **** out of you, Blizzard.

    I purchased this game in order to play the classic custom games I remember only to find they’ve all been removed and any new maps are now Blizzard’s property. I cannot support this.

    What an absolute pile of goddamn garbage. Throw this in the bin where it belongs.
    False advertising, manipulating buyers, deleting content, buggy mess.

    Only game I've ever gotten a refund on in my entire life. No lie. Nearly everything advertised originally, (and much of what is still on the webpage for the game) is totally absent. Not sure how Activision-Blizzard are justifying charging $30-40 for what is essentially just an HD texture pack, but they're doing it. DO NOT BUY!

    Terrible game, terrible company blizzard has turned out to be.

    Seems like everything they touches now is being destroyed. Bugs, crashes, lying about features..

    Blizzard has managed to downgrade a 17 year old game. I hope they get sued for this.

    Blizzard ****** up so bad that they somehow made it to the top 3 list of companies that you NEVER give money upfront to. And they managed to land the 3rd spot as they entered it. Goes in this order

    1. Cloud Imperium Games (CIG) - that's Chris Roberts, Star Citizen. Never give this douche a dime. Undisputed champs.
    2. EA - duh..

    I am certainly not a person who reviews/give a opinion for a game because everyone has his own opinion/expectations, but after 6 hours of playing the 'Warcraft 3 reforged' campaign with lots of bugs/issues which many people stated before I had to create a metacritic account to write something about it how shocked I am about this product.

    I bought my first PC back in 2002 with Warcraft 3 Reign of Chaos. This game was amazing, also the Frozen Throne Addon which was release 2003.

    I met so many nice people back in the days in Battle Net, we created a clan, We created lots of Maps with the World Editor which we played on LAN Parties, we played Ladder games so we had a lot of fun! Blizzard was the best company in the world in my opinion because you knew that when they release a game its not a beta game its a 1.0 Version not 0.8??? Version which is Warcraft 3 Reforged.

    I've never thought that it would be possible to ruin this experience with this disaster of a game, along without the possibility of not PLAYING THE CLASSIC GAME anymore! incredible! This feels like an 'out-of-season April's Fool joke' but it isnt! I feel so pissed about the Bugs ingame, the missing UI, the "Defeat" Problem when starting a mission in campaign and the performance. I feel like testing a software for 30 Euros as a beta tester(yes i am from Europe/Germany so sorry for my bad English ;) ).

    I will start to refund this game, despite it is said that if you click 'Start' in the Launcher you cannot refund the game anymore!

    They cant get away with that, everyone should know that Blizzard is not Blizzard anymore!

    So if you read this and u wanted to buy this game Dont do it! Maybe they will fix some problems in the next months but at this state you should not buy this game(wait for a sale maybe for 10 bugs).

    I give it a 0 because its still a beta and i cant give a critic to a game which isnt Version 1.0!

    Cheers!    … Expand

    The game should focus on what the paying players want, not on what the shareholder want.
    Such a shame. A downfall of 1 great empire. RIP Blizzard.

    They promised to reforge the game, we got a HD reskin.

    The game is buggy and unoptimized. Features that were present in the original game were removed. I mean, what to say? The original game is awesome, this one not so much. It’s just shows blizzard as a company is done/gone sadly. I’ve played blizzard games since Lost Vikings. Warcraft 3 is one of their better games.

    "Evil is evil, Stregobor," said the witcher seriously as he got up. "Lesser, greater, middling, it's all the same. Proportions are negotiated, boundaries blurred. I’m not a pious hermit. I haven't done only good in my life. But if I’m to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all."

    They just destroyed a game I truly loved. They even run false advertising for the game as it was promised a full rework of in-game cinematics. They even previewed this and still use their "reforged" cinematic in the trailer on their webpage for the game!

    They also removed many features and swiftly destroyed the community by removing much of what we loved.

    On top of this they even DESTORYED THE OLD GAME! They force a download of the new files even on those who haven't bought Reforged. They removed many functions form the old game and made it a "premium" feature by requiring you to buy Reforged to have access to them (Shadows are one of them any).

    To summarize: They released an unfinished product that is nowhere close to what was promised and marketed to the community and they managed to destroy an old product who was perfect. Thanks Blizzard. I got a refund and I sincerely hope the rest of you do as well.    … Expand

    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.
