Default OT: Warcraft 3???

For those of you who have this game, what do you think of it, especially compared to previous games such as Warcraft II??

I'm interested in various impressions etc, as I have recently bought the game and it should arrive within 10 days or so. Thanks!

I have all 3 Warcraft games. I liked III the least. I actually only played it a while and never even finished all the basic campaigns. I thought it was boring. It got away from the things that made the first two games good. It introduced heros that could gain a few levels. The big thing for me was that the number of units you could build was significantly limited. I dunno, maybe others might like it better, but I didn't.

Warcraft II was the best of all time

Warcraft III was borng, you could control something like 30 or 35 people (including peasents) at best the AI was NEVER balanced and always seemed to be able to rush you over and over and over again while your soldiers were still in training.

Night Elves SUCKED, because if they didn't have their heroes with them they got slaughtered.

Humans sucked because even if they did have their heroes they took so bloody long for a human player to train them that by time they were free the AI would have rushed you at least five timse.

Orcs SUCK because their heroes might as well not be there cause they aren't the greatest fighters in the world.

The UNDEAD suck because their basic units are not good fighters at all, though at least they have the advantage of picking up your guys festering corpses and turning them into fresh troops.

Get the gist of the game so far?

I take it it's not very popular...then again, I guess I'll find out in a week or two.

Any other opinions?? (Not that I don't trust you two, but the more opinions, the better )

I enjoyed it, but then it was a gift. I don't know if I'd pay for it.

I believe they're currently working on Starcraft 2.

Doesn't compare to Total Annihilation, nothing Blizzard ever made has, but its OK. As for Starcraft 2, all I've heard about is Starcraft: Ghost, or something like that, and it is a FPS.
