    This is just bad no custom campaign support. Blizzards owns anything you make in map editor. No ladder or guilds on battle net and no cross region matches. These are all features of original game...

    I wish I could say this is the only mess up blizzard has done lately sadly its just the final nail in Blizzards coffin...

    in the year to make such applications for such a schedule and for such hopes, the Editor was most offended expecting a lot as it is the most important thing in the game, but there’s nothing there 5% new is no more horrible shame I will not cancel the purchase but the developers should be ashamed to wash their eyes and include music that is missing and with the picture we were deceived and I can’t say anything more how we were deceived and now the cards that we make now are Blizzard authors without our millet and permission to delete or pick up our card for ourselves is this normal? The campaign of Dota 2 is in their heart that they didn’t hold such a day in the tournament Ti 9 (If that is the main tournament of the year in Dote 2, if anyone didn’t know there are any).

    Where do I even start with this steaming pile of trash? From the beginning I suppose...

From the beginning I suppose...

    In 2002 and 2003, Blizzard Entertainment released one of the greatest RTS's and greatest games ever made: Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos and Warcraft 3: Frozen Throne. This game revolutionized and standardized RTS games, had an amazing matchmaking system, a kick-ass campaign, an amazing custom game modding community, charming graphics, great voice acting, and a pleasing soundtrack. These two masterpieces launched the MOBA games DOTA and League of Legends, among others. The interest in these games was so massive that it spawned and continued the lore with World of Warcraft, which was and still is the most successfully MMORPG of all time. Warcraft 3 continued to have a tight-knit passionate fanbase of players to this day who would play 1v1s and team games or replay the campaign every year, just because it was that good of a story and so nostalgic.

    So what went wrong? Well, Blizzard had 18 years to remaster this game or to create Warcraft 4, which is what fans really wanted. It seems they were a victim of their own success, in that World of Warcraft was such a cash cow that they continued milking it until it was a withered husk of a game (See: Battle for Azeroth). They only began development of Warcraft 3: Reforged 2 years ago (allegedly) and released it 1 month behind schedule. And for what we got out of this game, it's embarrassing

    Blizzard (now Blizzard-Activision, HUGE difference) claims that this game has:
    -Visuals rebuilt from the ground up
    -Over 4 hours of reforged cutscenes
    -Limitless custom games to explore
    -Updated UI and rebalanced gameplay
    -Modern Blizzard Battle.net features

    What we got was:
    -Visuals that look like they were created by overworked interns from 2010 in some foreign development company in India
    -No reforged cutscenes, only the exact same cutscenes with "updated" graphics
    -Custom games that are legally owned by Blizzard
    -The same exact UI from 2002 and a few MINOR changes to gameplay with no new units, no new heroes, no new buildings, no new maps
    -Battle.net 2.0, which takes away profile stats, animated profile pictures, online connectivity, clans, player community, and a lot more things that other reviewers have detailed much better than I can

    Bonus "features":
    -Incredibly amount of lag, even on high-end system, even in 1v1 custom matches against a bot
    -No new campaigns
    -No new cutscenes
    -No new music
    -No new voice actors (would love to have the option to choose between old and new voice actors)
    -COMPLETE lack of polish - for god's sake the multiplayer chat doesn't even scroll down automatically when a new message is received
    -"updated" graphics that somehow look worse than the original and lack its charm. Either go with the charm of the old art style or update it completely to WoW style, don't do some half-ass attempt to merge the two

    Overall, this "game" was an attempt to cash in on people who have a love and huge amount of nostalgia for the old games. It was the absolute laziest attempt I have ever seen to "remaster" a game that I have ever seen in my 29 years of life and Blizzard and the people who worked on this should be absolutely ashamed. Not only did they not make remaster the game in an acceptable way, they completely destroyed the old game by not allowing normal Warcraft 3 players (the old game) to log into old Battle.net and use the features from that.

    So bravo, Blizzard (really Blizzard-Activision as Blizzard doesn't exist anymore). You managed to not only make a bad game, but to completely butcher and destroy the original. This was literally worse than the finale of Game of Thrones. Thanks for destroying the last bit of goodwill you had with the community of players you amassed making the actual good games of the 2000s and 90s. Adieu, Blizzard.    … Expand

    Blizzard... They gave me hope ... And they took it on one moment.

    I bought spoils of war edition 39.99 EUR. By the way It is cost of AA / AAA project, not cost of outsourced project with costs reduced to the minimum. But it doesn't matter, we are not here to talk about money. So... What I've got? Disappointment... Refund... Hah... I didn't expect anything special. After beta I was    Blizzard...

    So basically my disappointment is rely on LIE. WC3 community had really low expectations. I had really low expectations. So:
    - Game is technically awful.
    - Problems with optimization. A lot of bugs which were not fixed since beta.
    - If you guys are interested in the World Editor. Meh, just forget about it for now.
    - Blizzard say - Backward compatibility with original WC3. What we got - old models in the tuned engine. No way to play original WC3. So basically even if you will switch to the "old" version you still gonna use buggy revamped tech under the hood.
    - Blizzard say - Battle.net, Ladder, Custom Games, Multiplayer. What we got - no ladder, awful multiplayer (try to play FFA, meh). Problems with custom games. New custom games 'terms and conditions'
    - Blizzard say - Hej, you will get "new" cinematics, revamped campaign, cutscenes. What we got - you know guys... you know... nothing. And the worst part Blizzard is trying to BLAME community. They say "Community don't want new custcenes, don't want changes in the campaign...". Come on, Blizz... Lazy... Lazy boy Bobby...
    - The same with models, textures, art design.
    - Forget about cyber-sport.
    - New UI? Meh. Lags in the UI everywhere. Don't expect anything even close to things that you seen on the Blizzcon demo.Blizzard... They gave me hope ... And they took it on one moment.

    One more. Please, don't blame outsource company. They are just guys who did the job (at least they tried). For sure they are not the most qualified workers (hah, that's funny that Blizz wanna cost of AAA project and don't want to spend $ on quality of your game). Actually some models looks pretty sick and great. But for sure lack of control and careless Blizz...

    One more thing... I'm sorry for Russian community and their awful new voice "acting".

    So summarize, why 0 and refund?
    Because it is my only option to affect Blizz.
    If you have old version, don't buy reforged. Maybe after months, months and months of improvements (hah... D3, SC:R experience that there is no hope, Blizz prefer to forget about unsuccessful projects).    … Expand

    Reforged was supposed to be an HD graphics overhaul that was laid on top of the existing game allowing for those using the original version to play alongside the new. They removed features that had been in the game for 17 years and altered the way the game plays (units don't path properly, terrain blocks movements that didn't use to).

They flat out lied about cinematics, in-game cutscenes, and campaign mission re-imaginings and reworks. The game is incredibly buggy, laggy, and flat out broken to the point of crashing repeatedly. The original game that came out in 2002 is a better game and I'd say play that, if Blizzard didn't force you to use the new version if you connect to their servers in any way, shape, or form. I love RTS games. I grew up playing WC2 with my dad and brother and this game is nothing but a gross cash grab capitalizing on nostalgia.… 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.
