    Best game of all time by far, it's literally impossible to get bored, there's an infinite potential of new experiences thanks to custom maps and mapmakers.

    Now it is impossible to play this game officially after Reforged came out since the servers are gone, but one can only hope Blizzard will do something about that and bring it back one way or another.    … Expand

    Best RTS of all time, great World Editor that gave birth to many great custom maps and even new games or genres.

    This game was my childhood. Every day after school (if my parents let me) I'd play this game. I didn't have much friends as a child and this game really saved me. It's really a shame to see what blizzard did to it...

    That game is a masterpiece. Though the Original one was better due to the Plot comparison. But the gameplay itself was more polished that in Reign. And now we've lost it, after all these years. Good night, sweet Prince.

    One of the best games ever to be made. Even if I prefer the more macro heavy playstyle of other real-time strategy games, because of how the editor of this game works and what you can do with it makes this game not only contain a campaign or its intended RTS style gameplay, but gave birth to thousands of games inside of it. Some of them include version of Mario Party, Tower Defense andOne of the best games ever to be made.

    One of the best games ever made in 2000, it made a lot of great improvements of the first games mechanics, and as always has the same Blizzard formula that made Starcraft great. The new units and heroes are alright, and some of them improve some of their factions short comings.

    Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne was an absolute masterpiece of a game, both in storytelling and entertainment. The multiplayer experience is something i cherish even to this day, february 2020. Who could have thought that games like this one are a one-in-a decade marvel.

    Best RTS game ever, however it got deleted from the developers in 2020. Good new here: A pirated version can still be played locally and on LAN party. There might even be a 3rd party service for online multi-player.

    This was a generation defining game. Hours before Reforged launched, it was still a staple of the genre. I'd pay the original asking price again just to go back to the original version.

    Warcraft 3, This is an example of a game, where timeless design shines.
    The Gameplay still holds up even 17 years after release and the vivid Modding community kept this game alife. Ofcourse the Story is another Point where this game shines. Even the German voiceactors sound good, which is a rarity. From the Top of my head, I can recite lines that stuck with me for years.

    This is the Game that spawned Dota, where People fought each other in Battletanks and where Tournaments still excite people years after.

    Warcraft 3 is what Starcraft Broodwar is to the Starcraft series.

    A timeless classic, that will allways be remembered with adoration.    … Expand

    As good as it gets with RTS games, or games in general. Infinitely engaging gameplay, with 4 distinct races, tons of options. Excelent campaigns, and infinite possibilities with the world creator.

    More than just an expansion - technically, I think the game could be considered a sequel with all the depth that is in the game. If you have Reign of Chaos, this is a must buy for you and RTS fans everywhere.

    Manages to fix the balance problems that crept up in WarCraft III, but is unable to fix the fundamental problem. The game remains at an uncomfortable middle-ground between strategy and tactics, not giving enough of either or focusing explicitly on one.
