    All my good memories are now buried into the ground, well done Blizzard. I had high hopes for this title and now I can't even wait for it to be fixed and play the old version in the meanwhile...
    Why do you do this?
    Is this the way you honor Warcraft III? The game that got us hooked for hours and hours... you HAVE to fix this game.
    Shame on you.

    Campaign: The 3 added demo missions are only added to the reforged campaign, and not to the original. This means people without reforged can't play them and can't unlock the portraits for completing all 5. On Human05 (Hearthglen) Liches don't attack your base making the map significantly easier. On Human06 (Stratholme), it no longer rains and you can only be attacked from one side of yourCampaign: The 3 added demo missions are only added to the reforged campaign, and not to the original. This means people without reforged can't play them and can't unlock the portraits for completing all 5. On Human05 (Hearthglen) Liches don't attack your base making the map significantly easier. On Human06 (Stratholme), it no longer rains and you can only be attacked from one side of your base, making it less dreadful. Also on this mission, instead of getting 5 villagers, some houses spawn bosses that still count as 5 points towards the 100 score (that makes no sense). You can't play original campaign with reforged graphics, unless by custom games.

    Old bugs remain unfixed: Tyrande, Grom and the Keepers of the Grove still don't have their inventories in specific classic missions, this is fixed only in reforged campaign.

    Hero names and Voicelines: 'Grom' and 'Furion' are changed to 'Grommash' and 'Malfurion'. In classic Thrall/Tyrande still say 'Grom/Furion' but the subtitles say 'Grommash/Malfurion'. In reforged Thrall's voicelines are modified to replace 'Grom' with 'Hellscream', while in Tyrande's voice lines, the name 'Furion Stormrage' is removed entirely, leaving the Quest notification to actually tell the player the name of the druid Tyrande wants to save. They removed certain unit quotes like the Dryad's mating call joke probably because they found them too offensive.

    Missing Reforged Models: Malfurion now has 1 model (Stag Malfurion) instead of 3 (Furion, Stag Malfurion, No Stag Malfurion), so now Malfurion, when he awakens from the Den, he is already on the Stag. While Malfurion no longer has a dismounted model, Thrall now has for some reason. Another missing model is the Chaos Orc Marine, the Reforged model is replaced with a Terran Marine and is the same as the Marine model. Another missing model is the Male Death Knight hero. The hero uses the Arthas model, while the model itself, if used on a unit will show only as the classic graphics version. Male Demon Hunter shares model with Illidan. Mannaroth's Blood Fountain is now Green, though it's icon is still red. No reforged models for Catapults, Ballistas, Steam Tanks and Gyrocopters, only their TFT equivalents (though Tyrande still says Ballistas in the voice line). In the Reforged Beta their was a Steam Tank unit distinct from the Siege Engine, but it was removed.

    Death Sounds and shadows: New death sounds are pointless, are present even with reforged graphics. One unit may have multiple death sounds making it less obvious who died. No more shadows in classic.

    Unit changes in World Editor/Custom Games: Children were made invulnerable in the editor. This breaks some maps like Undead01, where invulnerable children will alert the guards. Because this is a change from the editor, all maps, including the classic campaign and custom games will have invulnerable children. Custom games don't show custom preview, but instead map terrain. Banshee Sylvanas is now a hero in reforged but still uses Banshee voice lines and is a custom hero, meaning you can't find it in the editor by default.

    Minor/Misc: There is a Night Elf Battleship on the Silvermoon map, and they didn't even change its name to be High Elf Battleship. The Kael icon in the Collection has grey hair because it's actually the melee Blood Mage's icon and not Kael's. They have a really cool High Elf Barracks model that fits the wow theme, but still used Human Barracks in the Blood Elf campaign. Medivh's clothes are grey and his crystal is blue, even though in Warcraft 3 Classic, in the Cinematics and in Heroes of the Storm they are brown and respectively red. Even though Reforged uses TFT balance, they didn't add any Spell Breakers to Silvermoon. Also Tyrande destroying bridge animation just is non-existent. You need to finish Scourge campaign if you want to play Rexxar Campaign. I think it should have been the Night Elf campaign (last of RoC Campaigns) that unlocks Rexxar campaign, at the same time as Sentinel Campaign.    … Expand

    Все это очень грустно, игра вышла недоделанной. Деньги вернули через два дня после обращения и на этом спасибо. Теперь как-то стремно покупать игры у Blizzard.
    Непонятно как можно показать одну игру, а выпустить совершенно другую.    Все это очень грустно, игра вышла недоделанной. Деньги вернули через два дня после обращения и на этом спасибо. Теперь как-то стремно покупать игры у Blizzard.

    Worst remaster ever and possibly worst game ever. Nothing like what was promised and they even managed to mess up an already complete game (Original Warcraft 3) to deliver a beta test that cost full price. Stay away

The game itself is playable and may be enjoyed by someone who do not know the excellency of Warcraft III from 2002 or just has to have high resolutions available to enjoy games. On its own merits it may have scored 4 but there is one unforgivable thing to mention, the re-released game ruined the original one and for that it is a flat 0!!!!~!!!~!!~!!!!!… Expand

    It's a joke , a cash grab from a greedy company. Don't even think about buying it.

    Blizzard fell . Very hard, and i.m glad , they deserve it . How the industry still thinks that we will want a unfinished product ?

    - broken promises
    - appropriation of fanmade content - no refunds policy - and many more anti-consumer practices I must admit Blizzard worked hard to grab cash and fill their wallets, therefore it's undeniable that    Amazing game!

    The game is acceptable out of old statures. The graphics are good and much better from before and the price-ing gives a promise of improving the game in the years to come. The new module of the game is made to comply with the old one that still exists and is awaited to be improved by its developers in the years to come.

    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.
