OT: Warcraft 3???

WarIII >> WarII for me because I won more easily against the AI, and some spells are actually useful in the action. The main reason for why a lot of people in this forum don't like it is because people that like turn-based game like SEIV don't like real-time - it's too difficult to elaborate a true strategy in the battle.
Oh, and for me, it is far more better than StarCraft, because StarCraft is based only on speed (IMO)

I beat the basic campaign of War3, but wasn't overly impressed. If you read all the reviews, people loved it. This is hopefully the end of RTS crest until someone comes up with a new spin on it besides rush for resources.

StarCraft really was a fun game as was WarII.

The online community is full of doodz unfortunately who quit as soon as they start losing.

I didn't like the small number of units, although I did like the diversity. (I think the AI cheats in skirmish mode

Well you shouldnt make your opinion out of 13 posts in this thread. To be more specific, up to now (several years after release) Warcraft III is still the worlds most popular and most online-played strategy-game. The only game able to beat it in games per day is, of course, counter-strike. Some people here say the AI is unbalanced. I tell you what, all by myself i can beat up up to three AIs in skirmishing. The people telling the game is hard or stupid should spent more time with it. If i rememer right it took me some time to master SE4 against AIs as well. Warcraft 3 is officially the worlds best and most played strategygame, apart from StarCraft, which is #1 in Korea.
You should definitly get the expansion "Frozen Throne", since it adds several heroes and more nice stuff.
You wont be dissapointed, at least not if you play other realtime-stuff, like command and conquer or empire earth or whateveras well. I for one played StarCraft for about 3 years, and Warcraft about 4 years. Online (Battle.net) is the best though.
