WarCraft III

[Zopperoni]

I played the version 1.00 today, and it's great

Nothing much has changed in what the gameplay/interface concerns, but it looks so much better, and the movies are cool as well

[FrustratedPoet]

It comes out in England in a week or two and I can't wait to play it.
I loved Warcraft 2 and I'm a big fan of Blizzard games in general. It should be cool.

I think the patches for Warcraft 3 have got up to v1.34 so things are probably very different now to how they were in the v1.00 that you played. I know that a couple of buildings were cut (the Orc Pig Farm I think - they get food from Barrows now IIRC) and the tech trees were changed around a lot.
I hope those changes only enhance your opinion of the game.

It's crap.

The gameplay has changed alot.

The gameplay has changed from "build up an army as quick as possible and attack your enemy" to "build up an army, then hunt for phat exps and loots before your enemy takes it all". It is also much more fast paced then previous games.

And, if you ask me, the different races and units are not not very good, and are completely boring to play with. Each race has only 2 or 3 primary units, and some spellcasters and crap.

Oh, there's also no sea units, and very few air units.

[Zopperoni]

I have the Barrows, but it says 1.00 in the bottom corner
Maybe I didn't look carefully enough, I was excited enough about the game itself

[General Ludd]

I believe Zopperoni is refering to the final version, not a beta.

[FrustratedPoet]

Fair enough ... he could be ...

The barrows did exist in Beta ... they were just defense buildings only for a long while before the Pig Farms were removed and the Barrows were given the food producing ability.

Probably the full game he's talking about, though ... my bad.

[Zopperoni]

Yeah, it's the Gold version, I did have the beta as well.

I agree that the new races aren't that special. The Night Elves are just plain weird

Where did you download your copy from, Zopperoni?

[Triped]

Warcraft III sucks, I'm sticking to Starcraft when I want great multi-player RTS gameplay.

It's geared towards newbies

probably why some of you like it, though

[Ecthy]

How do I acquire WC3? HAs it been released yet?

[Footie Mad]

You can obtain it illegaly or wait until the retail release in early july.

[FrustratedPoet]

EB say that game will be out in England on 5th July ... I thought Blizzard were saying a while back that the release date would be almost the same across the world.

What about this editor then?

What about the editor? I understand that it is so flexible that you can create just about any RTS imiginable. It doesn't even have to be in the Warcraft 3 universe at all. Is that right? Has anybody tried it?

Blizzard has a good repuation with thier editors. I don't see why they would drop the ball now.
