    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.

    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

    -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’.

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).

    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.

    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.

    The game is broken. I was on discord with 3 friends last night. 1 was unable to log in for several attempts. 1 was sending us invites to join games that we would receive 5+ minutes later, and all games failed to connect. 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.

    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.

    Куда ни плюнь, везде все плохо.
    "Пракованный" не нужен ни модинг-комьюнити, ни киберспортсменам, ни старым фанатам.
    Из за своей моральной устарелости не нужен он и "новым" игрокам!
    Теперь эти крысы шкерятся, вместо того чтобы на коленях просить прощения и обещать все исправить.

    As far As Warcraft 3, We can't even play the original until this is fixed..
    On a game we thought we owned!

    There is no way whatsoever Blizzard can be trusted anymore..
    If you do then you deserved to be burned just like I just was w/ Warcraft..
    Yeah plenty laughed when I was excited for this.
    Thanks for maing a butt of me Blizzard..
    I barely cared about graphics.
    We just wanted it cleaned up some.
    NOBODY wanted a reimagining of the mechanics..
    And this is the part I can't stomach..
    No Clans...What!
    Auto Tournys..lazy!
    Profiles....

    Activision is using the Communist China playbook on the free world and they are blowing it..
    Blizzard was on top of the world in the late 2000's.
    Hmmm,,,when did they start to fall & when did Activision arrive...…..

    Retroactively makes the original worse. Removes 3rd party custom games, poorly done animation on newer models. One of the worst Menu screens I’ve seen in a while. It feels like Blizzard assigned 2 people to work on this and **** off for 2 years. Unquestionably the worst remaster of a game ever, I will never buy another Blizzard product ever again.

    Cross-region play (the custom game list is no longer global and you can’t play with players from other realms, meaning it’s much harder to find players and fill game lobbies)
    Custom campaigns
    Clans
    Player profiles
    Ladder (ranked matchmaking, stats, automated tournaments)
    Good, battle.net 15 1.0 chat system (you can no longer use commands such as /f l, /join; information on how many players are currently playing; list of communal channels; battle.net 15 news section; overall the chat system lost its’ soul)
    Beautiful UI/menus (in reforged client the menus feel sluggish and less optimized; the chat box overlaps the menus, atmospheric 3D campaign backgrounds are gone, etc.)
    Creative freedom in custom games (the WE EULA has been changed, adding a lot of limitations - everything you create now fully belongs to Blizzard, read more in other topics; censorship in maps and game names, for example a lobby called “booty bay” can not be hosted, even though it’s the name of an official WC3 map, etc.)
    Classic graphics in Reforged client look worse (shadows are missing, saturation is off, some spells/effects are missing)
    RoC campaign is now using TFT balancing
    Custom campaign

    Features that were available before 2018 and have been cut during the latest updates:
    Arranged teams
    Reconnection via GProxy
    Overall game stability (desyncs or crashes would almost never happen, now custom games are plagued with both)
    Bot features (only going to list some of them):
    Online lobby list and in-game chat, available from a browser (what games are hosted right now, how many players are in a lobby, etc.)
    Competitive custom games (auto-balance and matchmaking based on ELO or empirical algorithms specialized for each custom map)
    Ability to kick/ban trolls (after the removal of bots they added the ban functionality, but you would have to re-ban the person every session)
    Better ping/latency
    Protection against hacks and maphacks
    Anti-spam protection
    Automatic replay saving and archiving with easy search from a website
    Game/replay archive
    Probably many more things that I can’t recall at this moment

    So so sad to see goodbye blizz and don't expect a loyal fan like me since wc2 times to come back not even for diablo 4 **** that.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Robby ruined Blizzard and so reforged. "New" Blizzard is only thinking about collecting more money from fans.

    Someone says that cons of the reform are undeserved BUT:
    No rating games.
    The clans are gone.
    Lan game has disappeared.
    The offline game in custom has disappeared.
    Missing teams in the chat.
    Custom campaigns disappeared.
    New graphic horrible. In some places (and too often), the new graphics are worse than the original 18 years ago.
    New detailed models look monstrous with a cartoony low poly environment.
    The battle is now much worse read, all pro-gamers unanimously refuse to play with the new graphic.
    Custom files are completely killed (new license agreement and copyright).
    There is no rework promised at the announcement (the juice itself - the promise still hangs on the purchase page).
    The only new cc cutscene, the Illidan vs. Arthas fight, looks worse than fan artwork.
    There is no promised plot alteration.
    No more killing children. Even when in the story you are organizing a massacre of the undead, I must bypass them.
    3D backs were removed from the menu and replaced with a crap soulless 2D.
    Shelter interface on a third of the screen.
    The classic VK3 has been removed from the store, only reform is now available to its owners, but without a new graphic. At the same time, you should still download all 30 gigs.
    Preparation for donation skins in multiplayer.
    In the original, for some unknown reason, removed some memetic phrases from the characters. To change the hotkeys, you need to edit the text file in the game folder. And you are informed about this directly in the game settings and even carefully talked about the way.
    Graphics can only be switched from the menu (this is not the norm for remasters.

    Is it a bad game? No. It's still one of the best games of all time - and even Reforged cannot change this. But the remaster itself ist just a huge disgrace. Blizzard should be ashamed. And it makes me want to ask for a refund - but since I'm one of those idiots who pre-ordered I'm kind of screwed. Like this game is screwed.

    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.
