    What an absolute fail by Blizzard. They continue to falsely advertise the game with the promise of remastered cutscenes that don't even exist. This edition somehow manages to be a DOWNGRADE of an 18 year old game. Custom campaigns, clans, and arranged teams have all been removed.

    I made an account to say that I grew up with this game and was excited for Reforged and Blizzard up and ruined NOT ONLY Reforged but the regular, old 2002/2003 TFT version...

    After the **** they pulled with that Hearthstone tourney, I decided I was done buying Blizzard products. Didn't think I'd find myself refunding the last thing I ever bought from them. Goes to show you shouldn't preorder.

    Rather than fixing bugs, they kept adding new bugs with each new patch. Now the game is much more unstable. Custom maps that used to run fine now desync and crash more frequently. Their lack of QA is just so sad

    TL;DR: If I can just play WC3 online without the fresh paint I'll just do that instead of pay $30ish for a texture pack.

    Nothing like the demo at Blizzcon nor the promise for minor WoW related changes to the story, no new missions, no new voice actors, no new UI or Option to turn on/off any " no new anything outside of Dalaran so far and oneb(?!?) new cinimatic I've seen at the start.

    This feels like lies to get me to buy a game I already own and can play online.

    (I don't care about competitive play. Custom games seem scrapped. Pathfinding is still bad, I was looking forward to the cleaner UI) I was looking forward to a real revamp, not just some skins. I can't bring myself to even finish the game.

    First of all let's start with how the Blizzard trailer was shown in 2018..it was awesome. Look at the finished product and you are thinking..is this game actually released in 2020?
    Somehow i knew that the cinematic would not reflect how the game looks, because Blizzard always know how to make exceptional cinematics, but the end result is really bad in my opinion. Are you serious that this is Arthas here? He surely doesn't look like it.

    Second, what is up with the story? You are telling me that 18 years later, the story is worse than the original?

    And don't get me started with the custom maps nonsense that Blizzard added in the EULA.
    What Blizzard is saying is that, every work that somebody puts in to create awesome maps and mods for the community, that belongs to Blizzard? Forever?
    Hey, it's nice to have developers that you don't pay right? Nice thinking there Activision. How about you fire all your employees and start making games for free by using random people online.
    GREAT THINKING FOR THE COMMUNITY BLIZZARD, MY APPLAUSE, YOU REALLY SHOWED YOUR TRUE COLORS WITH THIS ONE.

    I have never refunded a game in my life, but this is my first one.

    With all the mistakes you have done Blizzard, you have lost a fan forever. Good luck

    Misleading advertisment, i played the classic version and bought warcraft 3 reforged a few days ago. Reforged is missing a lot of the advertised and classic features, not sure how it is possible to have less game mechanics than the classic game. Also people who own the classic game are now forced to use the reforged version.

    At the time of this review i'm also not able to change my FPS

    Over night warcraft 3 original lost custom campaigns, ladder battles, and much more because they had to *Adapt it to reforge*, to make matters worse the `new` blizzard terms of service give blizzard the rights to every custom map ever in the game, and also forbids any copyright content to get into the game, wich means a lot of the really cool maps involving star wars, mario, star craft and etc are now legally forbidden.
    This is a trainwreck compared to fallout 76 to say the least, a company who is actively trying to kill one of the oldest gaming communities in the world, daiting from 2002, shame on you blizzard.

    Then Reforged released, and my heart is now broken.

    Core faults:
    - Nearly all of the upgraded features advertised we're ignored and not implemented
    - Multiplayer function is virtually non-existent
    - Single player campaign is difficult to bear with 'upgraded' models injected directly into cut-scenes which are two decades outdated, and frame rates that are abysmal during scenes and gameplay

    There are many other detailed complaints which can be identified, but the list goes on, and painfully so. Save yourself from this unquestionable mistake by Activision-Blizzard and stay away.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Another insult from Blizzard (after Diablo:Immortal) to a century-old fan-base of a franchise that used to set standards in a genre.

    The only new thing the Reforged version offers is as single cutscene for the fight between Arthas and Illidan, which features two whole voice-lines of "hmmm" and cheesy blade clashing.
    The "new" (if any) voice-acting is awful and emotionless.
    The rest of the game is basically a few new HD assets, upscaled cutscenes and textures.

    To make things worse, they decided to restrict Custom Maps that may contain copyrighted character models. Custom Maps are the only thing that kept the game alive in the long run.

    All in all, this game is a major rip-off and doesn't deserve any praise, let alone money.

    This is the first and last time I will leave a review on Metacritic. I grew up with this game and even though it holds immense nostalgia with the custom games. Reforged somehow manages to have LESS features than the original. Speaking of the original, it no longer exists, the old player base has been forced to play this mangled piece of garbage and classic WC3 is no longer supported.This is the first and last time I will leave a review on Metacritic.

A lot of sounds are missing that where present in the old game ;jobs done, work complete, ANY unit spawning??? On top of it a few units have a really high pitched noise in the background making it almost unbearable to play (most notable in dreadlords and Tichondrius). Also units get stuck to each other even worse then before, how?!

    What is worse is they not only ruined reforged they also ruined the original warcraft3/tft. I really don't see what the point of this was other than trying to grab more money out of people, But why they think taking clans, ladder, animated portraits, and custom games away from people want to incentivize buying the new game is beyond me. So far those of us with original CDs the second i click the multiplayer button Battlenet will install all the new bugs that weren't present before, amazing.

    To top it all off they are completely denying any form or refund despite the blatant false advertising such as one of the cut scene that doesn't actually exist in the game ON THEIR OWN SITE!

    How bad can it get? I mean it is remastering an almost 2 decades old game. The worst for me is lying! The UI, cinematics everything was a lie. Refunding the game is now an issue. Everyone should get their money back. Free advice Blizzard get rid of Activision and your CEO's they are running this franchise into the ground. The worst experience I have ever had with a game by far.

    -No more ladder
    -No more profile with statistic
    -No more animated icon
    -20 fps with my gtx1080

    -units life bar as old as the game
    -minimap as old as the game

    The advertising done for this game included new cut scenes and features that are not even in the game. On top of that current features are removed and the only thing new are the major issues of bugs and difficulties in playing the game. This is not a nostalgia trip to the good old days but a slap across the face to remind you everything good you remembered does not exist anymore.

    I wouldn’t have pre-purchased the game had I known it being this terrible. As Someone who was a fan of Blizzard for 20 years, I’m very disappointed. It’s not like we were expecting Warcraft 4, just a remastered version of a most influential strategy game to this date. Amazing how they manage to scale up their level of pissing the fan base off year after year.

    Scummy Business practices, disabling Access to the original game (it does not matter if you bought the "remastered" game or not), not granting refunds and Missing Features make this probably the worst remaster in the history of gaming.

    It is the worst game ever made

    the game is a (poor) reskin that doesn't even have remotely close to all the working features of the original game, let alone the additional features that were promised. Also it runs poorly and probably can't hold 60 FPS in 2v2 even on state of the art hardware.

    Фактически, "Reforged" представляет из себя дешёвый любительский мод. Мод, который продают за 30 долларов (1300 рублей в России)

    Единственное профессиональное нововведение - новая русская озвучка (и она не без минусов, конечно). Однако в английской версии всё оставили как есть, а уровень оригинальной озвучки - весьма низок.

Not only were the full cgi cutscenes that appeared to be promised not remade but the I game cutscenes have only had the models updated with no changed made to the overall direction (as was shown by blizzard). The clear disregard for people’s ability to a refund is also a joke, this is clearly not the same game we was all promised. Blizzard banning people’s accounts on the forums who are trying to help with refunds is also an absolute disgrace. I’m shocked at how far the company has fallen, I remember when I looked forward to Blizzard’s game announcements, but now I just think how little the company will actually deliver to what they tell us. I haven’t even mentioned the disregard for previous owners of wc3 and how they have been forced into this new infrastructure. Expand

I don't think anyone at Activision Blizzard even knew OR CARED about what it is they had. They pissed on it and they pissed on a lot of fans for a cash grab. What exactly are they gonna do with that money anyways? Put it into Overwatch 2? Diablo 4? People will buy Overwatch 2 but you can kiss Diablo 4 profit margins goodbye, ESPECIALLY after this.

    Onto the review:
    -They left out A LOT of things. They just didn't put them in, or even bother to put them into a patch. No word as of this review when they will be added
    -no ladder
    -no skirmish
    -offline play has "timeouts" instead of a proper pause. Really guys? Did it cost that much to put that in or are you just power hungry?
    -No new UI, it's just a painted over UI of the old one
    -Absolutely zero Quality of Life upgrades. None. They are non existent.
    -None of the cutscenes are remastered or redone or anything. They removed the Stratholme cutscene AND IT IS STILL IN THE GAME FILES
    Biggest blunder from Activision Blizzard. Both companies are responsible for this mess, for having yes men who blindly agree with everything in Blizzard without even saying "stop we need more time" and for Activision for just seeing this as paycheck. I give the company another 5-10 years MAX before they are no more.

    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.
