Overview
Modern Warfare is a cooperative modern war map for WarCraft III: The Frozen Throne featuring two teams, the United States of America and Russia, battling each other. The players are in command of their team’s entire army via shared units.
Resources (credits) are gained by a periodic income and by destroying/killing enemy forces. The credits are needed to buy new units and weapons for your team.
The battlefield is a highly destructible urban landscape with almost every doodad being a destructible you are able to level with the ground. There are also areas well vegetated with trees, bushes, grass, rocks, and water as well. Forests mainly surround the city and can prove to be a very handy ambush rally point.
The goal in this map is to defeat the opposite team. This is accomplished by destroying all enemy structures.

F.A.Q. (Frequently Asked Questions):
Q: Is Modern Warfare a Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne map/mod?
A: Yes it is.
Q: Does Modern Warfare require Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne to be installed? Or can it work with just having Warcraft III: The Reign of Chaos installed?
A: Modern Warfare requires Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne to be fully installed.
Q: Who is currently leader of this project? Who is/are the developers of Modern Warfare?
A: I (Illidan(evil)x) am the founder and leader of Modern Warfare. I am also the only developer working on Modern Warfare.
Q: Do you plan on recruiting other good developers for Modern Warfare?
A: I currently have no plans of finding other developers for Modern Warfare. My plan is to finish the project alone, like I had planned in the past when I started Modern Warfare.
Q: What is the release date for Modern Warfare?
A: It is too early to say still. But progress is moving pretty fast, so hopefully I'll have at least a prediction of when it will be released. Though, I doubt I'll have an official set release date for the public version of Modern Warfare.
Q: Will there be Alpha and Closed BETAs? How do I get in?
A: Yes, absolutely. In order to get into the Closed BETA of Modern Warfare, you must post a valid application in our forums here. I will then decide if you are needed or not. People with low-quality computers can also get into the beta as well as Macintosh computer users. So don't be afraid to give the BETA application a try!
Q: Will the public version of Modern Warfare be totally bugless?
A: As much as I would like that, I have high expectations that there will be a few, if not, more bugs and glitches that get by the BETA. I will attempt to fix as many bugs as possible, so hopefully Modern Warfare's BETA testers do a good job reporting bugs successfully.
Q: How many players will allowed (Maximum) into a hosted Modern Warfare game?
A: Ten (10) players will be able to join the game. The other two slots are filled by computers which do a lot of A.I. work. The map allows a total of five (5) versus five (5), plus the two computers, one on each team.
Q: Will you add smart A.I. for computers to play against offline?
A: Yes. Players can play single-player matches against bots and with them in Modern Warfare.
Q: If a player leaves the game, will an A.I. computer take over?
A: Yes. So if players end up leaving during a match or in the beginning, there's less to get fussy about. However, the A.I. is still a work-in-progress, but it works!
Q: Can Modern Warfare be played on LAN connections?
A: Yes.
Q: Can Modern Warfare be played on BattleNet (BNet)?
A: Yes, of course. That is what this mod was intended for in the first place![/B]

Q: Are any of the units in Modern Warfare more powerful than the one(s) on the other faction?
A: In order to balance the game properly, they're all pretty much copies of the other faction units. Only noticable differences are the models used and their names.
Q: What will it require to use a 'Tactical & Special Weapons' against your enemy?
A: 'Credits' and 'Special' points.

Q: Are Nuclear Missle launches given a limited range? Or can they target anywhere on the map, including the enemy's base?
A: Any special/tactical weapon can be launched anywhere at the map. But you cannot target the enemy base if the enemy Radar Defense Tower is intact; You have to destroy the Radar Defense Tower in order to target the enemy base.
Q: Will Modern Warfare include an Anti-Map Hack protection system from hackers, like in DotA?
