    You used to be good Blizzard, now you changed a lot, and I do not like this.

    False marketing, EULA changes that prohibit tons of custom games, old WC3 client and its previously superior Battle net functionality gone, censorship of certain voice lines (Dryad saying she's wasted), the list goes on. There are so many reasons you should hate this, if you actually like the old Warcraft 3.

    this game is so bad it ruined my classic warcraft 3.

    it's not just average garbage, because we could ignore that.

    Well... the launch resembles the movies everyone likes to watch about people face-planting in spectacular fashions.
    But while those movies can be fun this is just sad and truly horrifying for everyone who loved to play WC3.

    But while those movies can be fun this is just sad and truly horrifying for everyone who loved to play WC3.
    I played WC3 for over 10 years until it became to much of a pain to play it on the extra wide monitors,
    so I have been waiting for this years, only to be scammed.
    I don't care about the promised features like new background story etc. a company that has not managed to provide anything great for years now should touch content on such a great game anyway.
    What I do care about:
    - ingame menus are actually worse from their design and graphics than the original game, overall a complete downgrade
    - they removed key features from the game (ladder / clans / clan chat / custom game filter) which is just an overwhelming punch to the gut of any fan
    - the "new and improved" graphics keep glitching out (see militias color changing for example), this would be a horrible fail for an kickstarter game and yet it is a blizzard game? It just looks like someone but a fancy dress on the old chunky models making their movement look retarded as hell, not to mention it has an impact on the game for example landing lasthits or denying XP, since the animation of attacks do not match the actually hits

    Finally:
    I loved wc3 and just making it compatible with modern pcs would have satisfied me, everything else would have been dessert.
    For example I think it would have been smart to move the menu bar to the side instead of keeping it at the bottom, because that restricts the vision on the current wide monitors.
    As for the new paragraph about the rights to custom maps.... I would have swallowed that if the game was working properly, but adding a plain rip off to an unfinished game adds insult to injury.
    They took a great and working game - then broke it beyond common sense and added a rip off clause? really?

    I honestly love WC3 to much not to play it when they fix ladder / clans / glitches even sucking up the new menus and paragraphs .... but the current trash without any comment on when the missing features will be added and the glitches will be fixed allowed me only one reaction.
    I refunded the game then canceled by WoW subscription and deleted battle.net from my computer, I will not touch a game this company created, until they either fix reforged or return WC3 TFT to its former state.
    I seriously created an account here and just wrote my very first review, because this is a slap in the face. At this point I feel it would be better if Blizzard was forced to shut down before they can ruin more great titles (or make the ruined ones even worse) and let a company who actually has some common sense buy the rights for those games.    … Expand

Custom game list is no longer global - you can't play custom games with people from other regions. No MMR system. No custom keybinds. Censorships.For exampe they removed the Dryad's "I'm so wasted" voice line, possibly others missing that have yet to be discovered.Also heard children models are now hardcoded invulnerable? Cut all the promised new cutscenes. Cut all the new english voice acting. New foreign dubs which are inferior and compulsory, can NOT be changed back Cut promised new story content and lore. Blatant false advertising.Blizzard now truly has 0% trustability. Arthas vs Illidan cutscene looks like cheap fanmade youtube **** Menu is awful and unfinished with chat clipping. The end of match summary is completely butchered and doesn't tell you useful info. The old client is gone, even if you don't own reforged you're forced into replacing it if you ever connect to bnet. Basically they took away the old real classic version.You are now forced to play a new inferior "classic" version merged with the horrible buggy reforged edition of the game which is missing tons of stuff. Custom maps now have a report button so blizzard can ban maps and ban people hosting them. Newly modified horrible EULA.It's basically as stupid as like saying someone who wrote a book doesn't own their book,its actually the guys who made the nifty pen they used to write the book who owns it.Pulling a policy like that right under people's feet in a game that had 18 years of life thanks to a great modding community is in no way healthy for wc3's longevity and is insulting to dedicated fans of the game. The new EULA discourages creativity and truly will murder the amazing custom game scene WC3 had. The game also lacks polish and is littered with bugs. And remember that this game was actually delayed before release. etc.… Expand

    I'll be honest, this is the first review I'm posting ever. Not sure what else I can say that has not been said already. I'm perfectly fine with that the game didn't turn out the way we all expected, even though that in itself is somewhat of a let-down.

    Why on earth did they ever talk about "cross-play" compatibility with the "original version" if the intent was to kill the old version and force-"upgrade" it to this new 30GB madness but with "classic mode visuals"? Wc3 was one of my favourite games to date and I could still enjoy all the custom maps. Now I can't even use the original game due to bandwidth and hard drive space concerns, not to mention the downgrade in functionality and graphics. That is simply not cool blizzard.    … Expand

    Really wished to enjoy the game and i never rated a game before, what made me rate it is because on how blizzard wants the customer to pay for their mistakes and shady advertising by ignoring refunds or even caring for the player base.

    False advertising, game is the same as before with new hd graphic but cutscenes are not like they shown at blizzcon, nor the game adjusted to fit with World of Warcraft. Full bugged, fuse with old w3, non-refundable et banned if you talk about refund on forums. Blizzard doesn't exist anymore it's a corporate sellout called Activision killing our beloved industry

    As a kid growing up with Blizzard's golden age games (1996-2008) i've never felt so much animosity to a company i once revered.

    It is truly sad to see this Gaming pioneer fall so far from grace, Blizzard doesn't have the talent, passion, vision or leadership to make games as they once did, all they can do now is live on past glories and wait until they collapse into itself like a dying star.

    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.
