Who has been long-awaiting a Warcraft 3: refunded patch?
- All four remaining players are very happy!
This is cool, but I will wait for the reviews first.
- I wonder if they fixed the pathfinder in warcraft1. It was a really smart wallfollower, but it could go in circles in the tunnel levels.
  
  I think they’re meant to be faithful to the originals so probably not.
RIP Warcraft 1 and 2.
- RIP Blizzard
With always online DRM, I'm sure. Fuck you Blizzard.
I would definitely play Warcraft 2 remastered. I've played the version on GOG and it was solid, but a remastered version is always nice.

Haven't played Warcraft 1 in over 25 years. Wouldn't mind trying it for fun.
- Got into it yesterday, there's a toggle to switch between old and new graphics during gameplay. And there's also an option for original or updated music, it was an instant nostalgia kick lol
- All I remember of the first one was that it was brutal as fuck
  
  I loved the first one so much. I’ve been hearing the remaster for WC1 won’t have online multiplayer. That’s a huge disappointment for me. Hardly anyone ever got to experience that game multiplayer. I played it with my friend exactly once, when I brought my computer over to his house. It worked over LAN and I think also modem, but not the internet.
If the remastered versions add modern controls that'd be super. It's the main gripe I have with the older games besides low resolutions.
- You mean like updating unit selection in Warcraft 2; it is limited to ~9 units per control group from what I remember.
  
  I watched someone stream it and freaked out that they grouped 10 trolls
  
  Orks and humans had no multi select 🙃 apparently they're adding that in though which might make it playable.
- I love the old games but I wish that unit pathing and attacking would've been updated a little. Or at least for the remastered version, or have it an option in the settings.
  
  Another thing that always bothered me a bit was the max amount of selected units in many older RTS games. Sometimes it's limited by the UI too, but they could update that as well.
Guys, it doesn't look good. They basically just spit-shind it.

I'm still going to get it 🏴‍☠️ but I'm not holding my breath.
- Omggg
YES!

Yes milord!

Yes
- Why do you keep touching me?
  
  hahaha yesss
  
  “STOP POKING MEEEEEE”
