    completly ruins the game i have loved for years. Stops me playing the original and the quality of the upgrade is terrible, laggy and removes loads of features from the original.

    Disappointing graphics. They could have done much better than this. However it has bad things in addition to graphics. that is reviewed here:

    Reforged upgraded my classic client. Since then: 1. Laggy menu. 2. Campaign mission 3 doesn’t unlock, can’t play campaign. 3. Integrated night elf and undead maphack (mine detector), no fair to play pvp matches. 4. No way to play custom campaigns. 5. Custom games lobbies are disconnecting, can’t start a custom game. 6. No option to play offline. So how do I play the game again?

    Most disapointing game from Blizzard yet! Besides all the known "missing" content, old battle.net is down, so those who played the OG are upset. This game is a slap on the face, total disrespect towards any fan Blizzard had. From bad gameplay mechanics, to terrible cinematics, stay away from this game if you ever loved blizzard

    You can feel free to ignore the 10/10 reviews on here about the game being a work of art; either it is Blizzard itself trying desperately to get even a 1/10 or loyal whipping boys trying to justify to themselves that this lie is good. It's time to let developers know that their customers aren't to be abused and that we will fight back against a bastardization of an amazing game

    Falta total del apartado "Campañas Personalizadas".

    - Desaparición de los perfiles (no hay estadísticas, ni historial, ni matchmaking) - Desaparición de los clanes. - No hay un ladder para las partidas multijugador. - Falta de servidores en Sudamérica (problema que persiste desde 2002, al 2020 debería ser inaceptable) - UI antigua y no adaptable a las nuevas resoluciones    Falta total del apartado "Campañas Personalizadas".

    - Desaparición de los perfiles (no hay estadísticas, ni historial, ni matchmaking)

    - Desaparición de los clanes.

    - No hay un ladder para las partidas multijugador.

    - Falta de servidores en Sudamérica (problema que persiste desde 2002, al 2020 debería ser inaceptable)

    - UI antigua y no adaptable a las nuevas resoluciones Widescreen (tampoco es la UI que se prometió durante la presentación)

    - Colores demasiado vibrantes, incluso el juego ni siquiera tiene la opción de corregir la gamma.

    - Lo de las hotkeys es algo inaceptable. El mismo juego te indica que tienes que editar un .txt para cambiarlas, la personificación de no hacer las cosas con ganas.

    - Las texturas del terreno no se corresponden a la calidad visual de los edificios y unidades, que están muy bien.

    - (Esto es a gusto personal) Los menús de fondo de las campañas son simples imágenes con un leve movimiento, a diferencia de los fondos en 3D que teníamos en el original.

    - Las animaciones de las unidades están "lockeadas" a 30 FPS, cuando el resto del juego corre a 60 FPS, lo que las hace ver "raro".

    - El pathfinding no funciona correctamente, provocando que varias unidades se traben entre sí al moverse en grupo.

    - Errores de sonido en bucle. Particularmente, daré los ejemplos con los que me he encontrado: *Al morir los murlocs, a veces hacen 3 o 4 veces seguidas su sonido de muerte.

    *Algunas unidades a veces no hacen sus sonidos de selección, ataque o movimiento.

    *Algunos ataques de unidades no producen sonido alguno.

    - Algunas misiones de campaña (varían según la persona), inmediatamente después de cargar, te llevan a la pantalla de "Derrota".

    - Algunas personas han perdido el progreso de la campaña al entrar y salir del juego (no me ha pasado esto particularmente, por ahora).

    - Al jugar las campañas en modo "Reforged" , el progreso no se translada al modo "Clásico", por lo que toca hacerlas de nuevo.

    - El 90% de las cinemáticas son las mismas que vimos en el juego original, con un poco más de brillo y adaptadas a pantallas actuales. La única "reforjada" es la de la intro del juego, presentada en 2018.

    - En cuanto a las escenas ingame, algunas han sido re-hechas, otras levemente modificadas, y otras siguen igual que el original.

    - (Esto es a gusto personal) La dificultad de las campañas es bastante más accesible que en el juego original. No sé si será una sensación o es algo que efectivamente es así.

    - La gran mayoría de personajes con nombre propio en la historia tienen su modelo único. Sin embargo (y esto me sorprendió mucho), el capitán Falric, Marwyn y Luc Valonforth tienen exactamente el mismo modelo.

    - En cuanto a los héroes del multijugador, fueron prometidos varios modelos de cada héroe, para no ver simples recolores del mismo. Sin embargo, esto no existe, exceptuando las skins que vienen con la edición Spoils of War.

    - En cuanto a rendimiento, particularmente no he tenido problemas, exceptuando las caídas de FPS al destruir un edificio o (particularmente) usar la habilidad "Terremoto" de Thrall.

    - Algún que otro crasheo directo al escritorio sin motivo aparente.

    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.
