    All the instabilities of this game put aside, the game is as close to a scam as a game could possibly be. Even EA and Ubisoft haven't done a bait & switch at such a high level as Blizzard has done with Reforged. Just watch the countless interviews from Blizzcon 2018 or watch the culling trailer and unless you're blind, you'll see how they blatantly scrapped 90% of Reforgeds promisedAll the instabilities of this game put aside, the game is as close to a scam as a game could possibly be. Even EA and Ubisoft haven't done a bait & switch at such a high level as Blizzard has done with Reforged. Just watch the countless interviews from Blizzcon 2018 or watch the culling trailer and unless you're blind, you'll see how they blatantly scrapped 90% of Reforgeds promised features.
    Some of the scrapped features are:
    - Remade cutscenes in the style of the culling as it was showcased during Blizzcon.
    - New voice actors.
    - New story elements to connect Warcraft 3s story directly to WoW.
    - Changed campaign maps (Only ~3 were changed in the end)
    - New UI (As showcased during Blizzcon)
    - The world editor is largely the same and still adheres to a 2002 engines limitation such as Map dimensions, texture limit, unit limit etc.

    And this is not the worst of it, in addition to all of the above-mentioned, they killed the original Warcraft 3 and forced users who own that game to use the Reforged launcher which lacks many features such as custom campaigns, local play, offline play and all the battle.net 1.0 features.
    So not only did they make a bad game, they also made a good game bad. Congratulations. If I could give this a negative score, I would without a doubt.    … Expand

    Let’s make a list. So far, Blizzard has:
    -Forced spyware under our noses during patch 1.28~
    -Rushed updates filled with confirmed bugs. -Broke dime-a-dozen custom maps that will never be brought back -Forced us to update 30~ Gigabytes of wasted disk-space of something we cannot use. -Gave us 0.2-10 FPS Menus made via HTML that you can run through browsers (Let that sink in) -A game    Let’s make a list.

    -A game that you can easily tamper with through cheat-engine.
    -Sounds that work for Classic and Reforged users (My ears bleed)
    -Removed lobby-features such as /me, /stats, or clans
    -Forced users we once knew to use a blizzard username - we no longer know who is who, and some folk don’t use discord.
    -Broke almost every custom model since 2003… (aka, break every map with custom models).
    -Gave us credits that keep repeating “Storm Earth and Fire” over and over again.
    -Literally false-advertized the amount of content found in the game.
    -Fiddled with the EULA clauses, removing many of our rights of possession to works we’ve made through our own time and effort (We already didn’t have much possession anyways).
    -Got a legendary and iconic game, again, LEGENDARY AND ICONIC GAME, to the status of BELLOW FALLOUT 76’s., AGAIN, BELLOW FALLOUT 76!

    This is no longer a sinking ship. This right here is called a catastrophe of epic proportions. There is absolutely no way to bounce back from the situation. Bethesda’s programming is abhorrent, but blizzard created a new standard of ‘broken beyond recognition’.    … Expand

I have bought a Spoil of War edition but only things that was added are better looking models, and slightly different cinematics (ingame cutscenes are the same, sadly, so no 4+hours, as advertised).

Now i cannot trust even Blizzard to deliver their promises, thats just sad. And whats even sadier its that Call of Duty is better than Warcraft (quality). Now i will just wait when CDProject ruin Cyberpunk and the Apocalyspse will be complete. 2 point for new skins, i cannot give more when all the rest its 17years old, above averege at that time, but still 17years old.… Expand

    Вчера я сел играть, прошел Пролог, прошел 4 миссии за Альянс.Я вижу изменения в мелких деталях ( не касающихся графики и озвучки), рубаки отдающие честь, ходьба юнитов во время катсцен, пехотинец которые сидит и полирует свой щит, Артас который садится на колено, когда говорит с ребенком после обороны Странбрада, добавление вместо Охотников за головами - Лесных троллей, во время второй мисии Альянса "Черная гора проблем / Заварушка у Черного Камня". Я вижу, что была(!) работа над мелочами, но почему при этом синиматики 2003-2004 года, которые не соответствуют 2020 году, когда юниты в катсценах поворачиваются на 180 градусов, как в далеком 2004 году.Я не понимаю почему уделили времени деталям, которые большинство людей бы и не заметили, если бы их не было, но решили не менять, то что менять нужно в первую очередь.
    Почему "переделанный" бой Артаса и Иллидана выглядит, как дешевая работа фанбоя с ютуба и по динамичности даже хуже наспех сделанной старой катсцены из классики?
    Я не буду возвращать игру или требовать деньги, я буду играть в Reforged, я пройду его и он будет вечным напоминанием мне, как Blizzard обмануло своё комьюнити, нарочно или нет, неважно.Вы сами просрали свою величайшее творение, которое жило даже спустя 16 лет.Позор вам.    … Expand

    This poor excuse for a remake made it literally impossible to play the old version of the game. Clans, custom campaigns, all other features from the classic game were essentially deleted in favor of a poorly optimized and falsely marketed sham of a game.

    Warcraft 3 deserved better.

    You feel like a billion dollar company looking to once again capture the nostalgia of games of old would be better at coming up with a crappy reskin game. The game plays awful. Units locked into animation that looks worse than Dune 2000 and random disconnects and "mission failed" randomly through campaign mars what could have been a good game.

Multiplayer is completely broken. Profile stats is apparently not an option either. I was unable to find a way to close the general chat.

    We all ended up just playing some of the campaign, and then logging off to play something else. This game is not finished and should not have been sold the way it is.    … Expand

    I could go on and on with this. Compare this with the Age of Empires 2 Remake which costs less and does so much more - just feels horrible to see what Blizzard has done with this.

    Edit: Just found out that Blizzard changed the ToS for custom maps. They now claim ownership over all custom map ideas and work done by the community. That's it this is the final nail in the coffin - this game gets a zero.    … 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.
