Warcraft

Do we have any fans of the Warcraft series among us? I really enjoyed playing Warcraft II. I mostly played against others and not the story mode, but it was really fun either way.

I haven't tried Warcraft III or World of Warcraft. If you have, what's your opinion of them? I've been thinking about looking into Warcraft III now that I have a newer PC that can probably run it.

I only played a part of the very first one. I didn't like it very much. It was a very slow game and took a long time to build up resources to do anything.

I'm a big Warcraft fan. Didn't play I a whole lot, never finished it without cheats.

Like Warcraft II much better, dragging to select units was soo much better. Spend countless hours in the campaigns, creating maps and playing them and so on. Only finished the human campaign. Tried the expansion campaigns but I only made it to mission 6 with the humans. Never liked playing with the Orcs.

I loved Warcraft III how it expanded the Warcraft universe. It's also the first Warcraft game I beat completely without cheats. Finished the expansion as well. It had too many different units to my taste and I didn't like the heavy emphasis on machinery (riflemen, mortars, steam tanks) but I liked the story nonetheless. Started half a year ago again when I downloaded a fan-made Dwarven campaign, only three missions and not completed but I loved it. If anyone is still playing and wants to play some nice single player action, try it.

I haven't played World of Warcraft for two reasons, first because I don't want to pay monthly for a game that I will have pay big money for to get in the first place (I'm only in for the story anyway) and my computer wouldn't run it.

Ah, the map editor! Good times there. I even made a little map of my own once. I wonder where that thing is now...

I didn't enjoy the orcs as much in II, either. The humans were much more fun. I always liked building up a fleet of ships and sending them out to dominate the ocean.

I haven't played the game but it does sound and look interesting from what I've seen and heard.

Oh by the way, has anyone seen the recent tv commercials (one with Mr. T, and one with Star Trek's William Shatner) for this Warcraft game? They are really neat, I think. I wonder if either of them actually do play the game!!

We tried a demo once, but it was one of the oldest ones so the quality was poor in this day and age.

I saw them, those are great. I would be surprised if they actually do play the game. I don't see how Shatner would have time, with all the stuff he does!

I like the Mr. T spot the best. "Maybe Mr. T hacked the game and added a Mohawk class! Maybe Mr. T is pretty good with computers, did that ever occur to you Mr. Condescending Director Man?" That's now officially my favorite commercial ever.

I'm a pretty big WarCraft fan. I play WC3 atleast once a week, and I recently recieved a new copy of WC2:BNE, so I'm replaying WC2... there's still 600 people at a time on Bnet. That's suprising to me.....

.. Of course StarCraft still has anywhere from 20 - 50 thousand at a time.

Oh, and I agree totally about that WoW Mr. T commercial. It was brilliant. I'll probably buy it soon once I replay through Phantasy Star 2, 3, 4 (I'm going back through all the games in order and I've already finished the frist one.) and as soon as I figure out how to run my own private servers.

The age of games dont have so many, which surprises me, the release the 2nd expansion for AoE 3 recently.
