    Best RTS game of all time. It's significant editing abilities with the gift of 'World Edit' forces the award of the worlds most Advanced, easy-to-use map making technology within the very grasp of It's palms. The campaign is that of a God, consisting of four unique races to conquer as; all flowing into one story of epicness!

    An amazing game elevated due to it's custom map/modding scene. The online might be dominated by bots and rather empty by now, but it is still fun to play through LAN.

    VERY awesome Strategy Game, Just like Starcraft (Both SC1, SC1:BW, SCII:WoL) Just like its predecessor, this game is a huge success. 2003 game still being heavily populated as of 2012. Blizzard made a great game, with a great Lore, which as for the WIII EXPANSION next continuation part, is World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King. (Which kept the Lore also), You know i cannot say much...VERY awesome Strategy Game, Just like Starcraft (Both SC1, SC1:BW, SCII:WoL) Just like its predecessor, this game is a huge success. 2003 game still being heavily populated as of 2012.

    One of best Games ever made and maybe the best Multiplayer Game ever. Absolutely Amazing. Too bad there is only 1 add on and Blizzard only care about WoW now :) But still enough players on the battle net to play with :! Also the Custom Maps was revolutionary!

    One of the best addon overall: It has a lot of content and fits perfectly to the main game. W3 without TFT is almost forgotten. The campaign is great, the missions are much better than in the main game: very different and with many good ideas in game mechanics. Fortunately the graphics is much better now, it looks even very beautiful. In the main game it was horrible.

    The only thing, that is really bad is the bonus campaign, the idea to play it like a MMORPG is good, but you play almost all the time with the same heroes only, so it is boring after some hours.    … Expand

    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.

    The one and only expansion to Warcraft III which just further cemented its place as the best RTS. It added to the base game's campaigns, units etc but most importantly further improved the Map Editor. Allowing even better and varied custom maps to be created by players for other players.

    I like this game a lot. I liked it when it came out, and I still like it to this day.

    First of all, what makes Warcraft 3 unique is that it introduced the aspect of having hero units into RTS (real time strategy games) unlike its predecessor, Starcraft. Utilizing real time strategy units to strengthen your hero unit is a really fun aspect to the game. The single player for both the original Warcraft 3 (Reign of Chaos) and The Frozen throne is worthwhile, especially the campaign mode which delivers a very satisfying story line.

    The multiplayer (battle.net) is a lot of fun as well because you can make and/or play user created maps online, or play against other players in a ladder format. Unfortunately, however, as this game has been around for so long, the multiplayer has become a 'niche'. There is a lot of hacking and not a wide variety of skill level that play online when it comes to playing the ladder, so it can be frustrating. As far as custom games go, there are still public games being made and played, but they might take a while to fill up player slots. However if you have any online friends to play with then you are good to go.

    There is also a few seasoned revamps such as w3arena for people who remain (highly) competitive especially in the meta game.    … Expand

    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.

    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.

    The Frozen Throne takes the best of Warcraft 3 and makes it better. Even by today's standards, this game is just phenomenal.

I can still remember playing this game in the hardest difficulty setting so many years ago and constantly screaming at the unfair computer AI in the SP campaign where they mine gold and only 1 Gold is deducted from their mine whereas your mines will always lose 10 Gold regardless of the upkeep. Despite this though, the games was such an experience to behold with Arthas becoming the Lich King and everything else going to hell. The characters were all memorable and I can still remember Sylvannas, Furion, Kael, Illidan and the Naga's stories so many years after I played. The multiplayer was awesome and truly enjoyable with the map editor. You have to give a 10 to a game so good it gave rise to other genres of games--- MOBA and Tower Defense. This was long before mobile phones became smart. This game brings back so many good memories. Thankfully, it wasn't released today or it will be packed full of lootboxes!… Expand

    Simply a great expansion for one of the greatest games ever. Nothing more to add. This is the game that brought the big success that wow now has. If it weren't for war3, I would have never bought wow. This game is that good. A perfect story, perfect multiplayer, perfect meta-game, considering the birthplace of Dota.

    Magnificent game. Huge improvement over Reign of Chaos. It fixes ROC's problem of early game massing ending the game and ruining it. Adds really good units and heroes. As a Human player, Spellbreakers and Blood Mage are really good.

    The amazing game continues. The expansoin is very good, complete the story, brings new units, heroes, tactics, amazing maps. This is much good as Reign of Chaos. ROC and TFT is one game. So if you like ROC go and buy TFT.

    TFT is the logical followup to the original masterpiece ROC. This addon does not invent the wheel in a new way, but still surprises on some interesting changes in balancing and overall gameplay. The new campaign is fun and funnels directly into world of warcraft. If you like ROC you need to get TFT. As simple as that...

    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.
