    My favorite game, I spent countless hours, playing camping as a kid, on the ladder, and playing with my friends in both custom maps and standard. Great game.

    Immersja jest łatwa nawet dziś. Śliczna muzyka, genialna historia, charyzmatyczni bohaterowie... niedościgniony wzór.

    As good as the classics RTS games, it adds little RPG concepts to the game that brings fresh air to the genre. A reference

    One of my favorite strategy games. It's a legendary game. Too bad there's no sequel in this genre.

    It all started with this game. One of the first games I played. Since childhood that game had a great influence on the imagination.
    This is what shaped me as a player, shaped what I like and expect from other games.
    The best thing is the game is still incredibly playable and has one of the best storylines I've had the pleasure of dealing with.

    Factions are varied and each is fun to play.

    This and Rome Total War was probably my very first introduction to the RTS genre, and boy did I join when the days were grand. I loaded in the disc cartridge and just started playing. Y'know, I might attempt to locate said disc later tonight. It's unlikely Ill find it, but if I do then ill be enveloped in the pools of bliss and childlike nostalgia.

    Another masterpiece besides Starcraft, I played many many bot games. FROZEN THRONE is a good update. I love both. The campaign is also great.

    I'm not a huge fan of RTS games. But Warcraft 3 is the exception. Its probably not nearly as deep as Starcraft. But it doesnt need to be.

    Warcraft III is the third installment in the legendary Warcraft RTS series. It was released in 2002 and it made the WoW phenomenon possible. Very much so.

I still remember the first time I played this game. I was completely new to the Warcraft universe, but the fairytale like graphics, the fantastic music and the superb story grasped me immediately. Lets talk about the story a bit. It is just so well written, so well constructed. How the individual campaigns follow and compliment one another is amazing, it is never boring and always full of surprises. Just wow. The Arthas story arc alone, his descent towards evil, but for completely understandable reasons, that is really mature. It really plays very cleverly with the concept of the greater good and lesser evil. The orc story line is also fantastic, no matter how far the orcs will go, they can never truly escape the curse in their hearts. And then the Night Elf storyline, that ties is all together and gives it all a greater meaning. Just wow. But the story and the characters are not the only great aspects of this game. The graphics is really unique, mainly the colors, so fairytale like, so vibrant, I just love it. The music is brilliant, every race has a few very distinct tracks that you will never get tired of. Besides that, there is the multi-player. Four races, each very distinct and different and yet so well balanced. And then there is the battle net scene of the early 2000s. I have so many great memories of it, I have made so many friends there, eventually I joined a clan and later we transferred to WoW and started our own guild that lasted for over 15 years. And speaking of the W3 - WoW connection. I consider the Warcraft III to be an unprecedented outburst of creative genius. Just think about it. Even now, twenty years later, they are still reusing the same characters, storylines, neutral creatures, items etc. in WoW. Yes, that says a lot about the lack of invention in WoW, but it says equally enough about the superb quality of Warcraft III writing and ideas. But most important of all, there is the Warcraft atmosphere, the It factor, the illusive mistress that every game wants, but very few actually get it. I believe there is an alchemical element involved in the creation of any piece of art and because of it there is no guaranteed formula for success. But Warcraft III has got it. For me and for many others. This game certainly succeeded. Obviously no microtransactions and no SJW. Back in 2002 neither of these things even existed. Ah, what a world it was.

    Even now, twenty years later, I keep coming back to this game every two years or so. I know the campaigns through and through, every quest, every creep, every secret. But still I keep coming back and every time I have a great time. What higher praise I could possibly give this game? For a long time Warcraft III was my absolute favorite game of all times (then another W3 game came along, but that does not diminish the qualities of Warcraft III in the slightest) and it will remain in my heart forever.

    It was a good game before, but as Reforged replaced the old game with an even more limited form of Reforged, I have to say things become much worse. With how this affected mods community, how Blizzard support is terrible, these new problems turned a legendary game to some junk you probably won't want to buy.

    Completely reinvented in glorious 3-D, WCIII spruces up the age-old premise—organize armies and send them into battle against opposing forces—with much-improved graphics and a new pyrotechnic spell-casting system.
