POLL: Who here actually likes WarcraftIII

[spidey]

Once I figure out why my comp reboots after 10-20 minutes of play, I think I'll really like it. Going to try the previous drivers for the Radeon 8500 tonight, hopefully that'll do it. 😕

I had to change it from EAX2 to emulated sound because I was having the same problem...now things work like a charm.

unit limit= not great, but workable.

theres just a certain quality about having 55 guys screaming "THIS IS MAH BOOMSTICK!!!!!" and blowing the crap outta everything. thats MY way of playing, but its uber hard to do so.

its like starcraft had sex with warcraft2 and warcraft 3 is their beautiful lovechild!

I played starcraft too much. I won't be able to have fun with a reali time simulation till Starcraft 2, I need a break. I bought WC3, but returned it after a week because I didn't play it much.

Exactly. You can't just mass units and expect to win! Things have changed!

SC2 will rock though..

I've found very repeatedly that: War2 players love War3, but weren't into SC.
SC Players that didn't play war3, but loved SC.. think war3 is "ok".

i loved war2 and sc, but my view of war3 is still that it aint that great

Yep, got it from gogamer.com during their sale. I can scan the invoice if you like. 😛

Thanks for the ideas, I'll give them a shot. 😀

I double agree with you on this! I'm a long time war2 player started way back from Kali time and didn't like SC at all, period. Cuz SC's stratages is to build massive unit and that's about it. No surprises after all...

War3 owns. I like it how you can win by pure strategy and not just mindlessly building an army of like 200. You also can't just camp at your base, setup a few dozen towers and wait til the enemy is weak before your pansy ass emerges. You sit at your base and you will die. You can't just send in 50 guys, then watch. You literally have to manage every unit.

yea, i figured out out the hard way. still struggling to win though.

I'm not a fan. The plot progression is lame, and I hate only being able to select and move 12 units at a time. Maybe the multiplayer is better than the standalone game, but I don't feel like screwing around with my router to make it work correctly.

Yes it should. 😀


I love Warcraft 3. 🙂

 

[ed21x]

starcraft can be every bit as strategic if you don't play on a money map.

Well you know that its the same for SC?

The Single player is not worth 1/10 of the mutiplayer.




I guess that each game is for different people. I myself perfer strategy over massing armies, but this is of course my own preference

 

[Dragnov]

Why is everyone complaining about the unit limit, upkeep, and 12 player selection?! Blizzard put it in there specifically so that you people that just like to mass one amry and just send them all in while bottling in for an entire game won't exist. You must have never played on battle.net yet because I NEVER reach the max limit, and if you do happen to reach high upkeep... guess what, I bet you haven't been fighting and just chilling at you base the whole time.

I wish heroes had a bit more life though, I hate the hero hunting aspect of it. Where you just send all you men to attack the hero during a battle. Kinda annoying to have it running away all the time.

I dind't liek it at first. I love WCII as well as SC. Dind't really liek WCIII at first either, but its grown on me and i"m liking it better than SC now.

yeah what the hell is the complaining about selecting 12 units in SC you culd only select 9 at a time and you had to have like 50+ guys to have a decent army.......

Sorry, but I don't consider 3 more units to be much of an improvement. In Total Annihilation (still the best RTS game of all time, IMHO) I can select as many units as a want, and move them all at once to create a large, epic battle. I've seen nothing in Warcraft 3 as cool as watching 100 KBots with air support invading some poor suckers base simultaniously, and leveling the sucker in 45 seconds 🙂

glad i got it for free

 

[Maleficus]

Post your replays!

TA is one of the worst RTS games i've ever played. but to each their own, i know a guy that also likes TA, so you're not alone i guess.

anyways, unit selection was made a certain number for gameplay factors, according to blizzard. *shrug*

 

[gopunk]

btw, all that bunkering down stuff and building massive army stuff does work in single player 😀
