Well, Warcraft 3 was officially made available on the 3rd of July 2002. By now, I think most of you guys have bought the game and are having a ball of a time playing it. Therefore, I decided to start a thread for Warcraft 3 only.  So, anybody can ask any questions or offer tips and tricks about the game.

To start it off, I've got a very good question.

What are the cheat codes for the game??? *Hee*

[vadar_1]

Blizzard usually officially releases cheat codes a couple months later. I was all hyped up about the game, and got the collectors edition as soon as the store opened. Really... it was a let down... the spells sucked, the units sucked, and its still got of stability problems. 6+ player games and people just randomly drop.

I just don't like many aspects of it, IMO Starcraft still has better stratagies availible.

Oya, and Worldcraft's trigger systems are just confusing

bah@war3, 5 years in the making.... Blizzard ****s up... just like Diablo 2... they are losing their edge!! And now with WoW... and no plans for Starcraft II, Im losing faith.

[NeoHunter]

Warcraft 3 sucks?? I presume you like to rush, don't you?? Warcraft 3 is more on Heroes and strategy unlike Starcraft where just building 24 Protoss Carriers and you won. No more rushing. Now its all strategy. I like this new change by Blizzard. The CG cutscenes were fantastic. May even rival Final Fantasy CG cutscenes!:)

Somebody do me a favor and find me a cheap copy of it (un used)


and i'll buy it

Ive only hero rushed once so far... my demon hunter versus the enemies paladin, i was doing fine until his allie teleported to aid him.

oya... and 24 carriers and youve won? defilers = dark swarm and plague with hydras, terrans = cloaked wraiths, microed battlecruisers, lockdown, goliaths, sci vessels (emp), protoss = microed carriers, mass scouts, psionic storm, stasis field (deal with only half of the fleet at a time). War3 IMO is still get as many units as you can, because heros just dont cut it like they should have.

[vadar_1]

oya, and the ultimate spells are a joke, they're mana cost may be acceptable, but theire cooldown is not. Like for example, mass teleport? that should be one of the mages basic spells. Infernal is cool, but simply not powerful enough to take that much mana and have to wait so long, same with bladestorm. Death and Decay was from war2, and one of the basic spells of the death knight, now its a crappy ultimate... same as earthquake.

bah!

thats the end of my rant, sorry for those who liked warcraft 3. Its not a bad game, but it dosn't live up to Blizzard's standards IMO. (that, and it shouldn't have taken that long to build).

oh yeah, and you say you don't rush? if that was a basic spell, i could imagine the result... really, think about what you're suggesting, before posting.

Okay...so 24 Carriers are not the best but they win most of the time. Provided you accompany them with Protoss Observers and Arbiters. But, they can be countered as well.

Its just that I've not seen 24 Protoss Carriers Rush being countered often.

[NeoHunter]

Oh yeah. And guys, back to the topic which this thread is named after, please? If you want to talk about Starcraft, there is a thread somewhere here. Thanks for your understanding.

Well, I just got Warcraft III as a birthday present today and I have to say, WOW! The most amazing cutscenes I've ever seen in a game. As for the game play, SWEEET! I've never been partial to fully rotating/zooming camera's in a RTS cause it just gets in the way, but the way its utilised in WCIII is perfect. As in something I don't have to worry about, but can use if I feel like it. Everthing is rendered nicely, and the action is fun. Thats actually what I think about this game so far, ITS FUN! I really recommend it!

vadar_1: What you've just said were the echos of what people said when StarCraft came out.

- took too long
- not up to Blizzard standards
- not enough strategy
- stability issues

People were saying them.  I know.  I bet people are saying that about WarCraft 3 in more places than one.  My conclusion is that since Blizzard standards are not seemingly going down then its either:

- expectations are rising, without reason except human nature/western culture
- people like to complain

War 3 is an excellent game...a piece of art gaming wise.  Will be with us for a long time I think.

there's just one thing I don't like:
catapults still rotate by "jump"... her...
her... ok, ok, I like to nitpick sometimes

Huh???!!! What do you mean????

[Nico]

they face the target so quicly they look like sprite, you don't really see them rotate.
other pb, my PC is so screwed up W3 won't run on it, I have to play on a friend's comp.
Not that it's the game's fault tho...

[IceFire]

They rotate around and target just fine here.

One thing: Told. You. So.

Oh, and another: Ha-ha. Blizzard fanboy. Dunno how you can stand obsessing over a game series that sucks so much, must be depressing after a while.

Any time.

The only thing that sucks about WarCraft III is my cousin. (the BNet games I've played so far are awesome)

Okay, Orcs v.s. humans, he whines about my Farseer scouting out his base and he expands quickly to the second goldmine.

Alright, so I build several barracks and pump out Trolls with maxed out defenses but poor offense. I then do a feint on his south side to move his hero there, townportal to my town hall close to his second source of gold.

Ambush that with my full force, he whines claiming I'm using cheap "Russian tactics" and rants on how his fully upgraded knights deserve to defeat my Trolls since he *could* have spent that gold on other units.

He could have won many times if he focused on my Farseer with all of his offensive capacity, but no he focuses on the Trolls and my farseer summons melee support and overall clobbers him.

*sigh*

Of course his only defense is trying to rub in my being a little pissed about some StarCraft game a year ago at his place where a friend of his nuked me good after double crossing my alliance with him. (he blows it out of proportion of course, trying to justify himself with the lame story)

Then we go play a little Red Faction, first game he's owning my ass (Office Space, something like 6 to 16 was our score since I kept on doing suicide-kills), then the second map I'm salughtering him 10 to 0. All of a sudden "his headphones are having problems and distracting him" and then he quits the game.

Bull****, he's a sore loser in both cases

*Sigh* I've lost my week due to this "family" deal, at least I'll ditch him and have my life back Saturday... (I don't dare invite friends over or leave the house knowing what he'd do to my machine or stereo...)
