So... will people still play WC3?

[Billy the Cat]

As far as I know the total cost for Starcraft II (expansions included) won't come close to the $500.

Even if Warcraft IV turns out to be a nice game I don't think many players would buy it if it wan't produced by Blizzard and it's the community that made Warcraft III and the maps that made it this popular.

 

[elfian]

Dawn of War - Soulstorm for the win

 

[SasuhKun]

WoW. Lag reviews, your reviews impress me... as always lol

 

[Kala]

I may play WC ladder sometimes cause its more active. I'll buy SC II only cause of its Galaxy Editor and Custom Games. I hate the ladder in SC. its so booring and irritating. Just mound your army, attack, mound it again, attack ZZzzzz....

~Still waiting for Warcraft IV

 

[The World Is Flat]

Lag, your not paying for the other camps. your paying for EXPANSIONS. and anyway, sc2 is a modding tool, and less of a game. thats why you switch.

 

[Kingz]

Warcraft IV

If someone actually had the money to buy out Warcraft copyrights from blizzard then....oh wait this must be a joke -.-

Seriously:

(Made by an independent company and I have been waiting for this for a while)

Warcraft and all of it's components are copyrighted by Blizzard, including the name.

Also if you are refering to some kind of a mod for Warcraft 3, it is still inferior to SC2 galaxy editor if it uses the shell of WE.

 

[The World Is Flat]

which is why mine wil lbe supurior.

 

[Ghost765]

grow a pair and start playing some relic games! company of heroes and dawn of war 2. even if they have their fair share of ridiculous imba-ness, its still better.

 

[Kingz]

I prefer DoW over DoW 2 though.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Me too.

 

[elfian]

Same here.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Most do... i think...

 

[elfian]

If it wasn't for the worldeditor and the galaxyeditor I'd prefer DoW over any game. I mean it has almost the same modding possibilities as Warcraft III does, but it's a hundred times harder.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Ja Ja.

 

[Kingz]

I wouldn't touch a thing in DoW.

For me, it's perfect.

 

[Noobius]

Wha' the 'ell is Dawn of War?

Back to teh topic...Starcraft 2 is gay...hahahahahahaha.

 

[elfian]

Wha' the 'ell is Dawn of War?

Back to teh topic...Starcraft 2 is gay...hahahahahahaha.

Dawn of War is the PC game for Warhammer 40,000. Actually Blizzard ripped Warcraft from Warhammer and Starcraft from Warhammer 40,000. But let's not get into that

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Wha' the 'ell is Dawn of War?

Back to teh topic...Starcraft 2 is gay...hahahahahahaha.

Dawn of war is like Starcraft but better, with a more interesting story and more interesting units. The animations are all twice as awesome and the skirmishes look more realistic.

The only thing Starcraft has on it is moddability.

 

[Noobius]

What is wrong with you people!!!
Why does nobody need Random/Unorthodox/Idiotic ideas for their maps??

 

[The Titan]

Starcraft 2... I was never so much a "fan" of SC. Maybe because I got my hands on it after Wc3. I really don't want to pass to SC. And I think some people will agree with me when I say that Wc3 will not fall after release of SC2.

 

[The World Is Flat]

it will be like sc1 it wont fall for ages, but it wil start to die.

yes DoW is based off of the only interesting board game in exsistance. and it happens to be rediculously fun. and cooler. and more epic. and has more races. cooler combat. units. ect.

THE ONLY THING SC2 HAS ON ITS SIDE IS GE. <---make DoW style games>

 

[elfian]

DoW has it's own scripting language SCAR which is actually Lua + DoW Functions. It is much better than JASS and Galaxy, but doesn't have as much functionallity. Also you can mod every unit, squad, weapon, projectile, banner. There is a mission editor which has more possibilities than the SC terrain editor. You could also add your own native functions somehow with C++ to SCAR with .dll's or smth... But as I said, it's way harder to mod DoW than WC3 and SC2. So yeah +1 for Blizzard on that.

 

[The World Is Flat]

We call GE complex, but you need almost no skill or training to jump right in, all options are open for you to toy with.

 

[elfian]

True.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Thats in comparison with advanced coding language, wheras you have no ability to code whatsoever unless your lucky enough to know it, or a smilar languge, OR take classes. the brilliancy of GUI is obvious for less advanced users.

 

[elfian]

Knowing a programming language gives a big push when "coding" in GUI tho.

 

[Noobius]

Hey...whats plagiarism mean? Coz I think the same rules apply to the Starcraft series and DOW... Anyways Warhammer 40K is WAAAAAAYYY tooooo depressing...

 

[elfian]

WTF Depressing?! More like fanatic.

 

[The World Is Flat]

LOL. No plaugerisim, lol. dude... ahaha...

DEPRESSING??!? MORE LIKE THE MOST AWESOME INSANE END OF THE WORLD SCENARIO EVER.

 

[WarManta]

Warcraft will never die even though some seem to think that it will never die but only loose the future game players which really isn't too much of a loss. I prefer to stay with Warcraft for lore and medieval conflicts while having the ability to edit any aspect of wc3 I wish.

 

[The World Is Flat]

sc2 is twice te platform that wc3 is, and n a few years, look hat happened to wc3 you can make plenty of sci-fi with models left over. it will be the same for fantasy.

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Well Warcraft 3 is less demanding on your comp, thus more people can play it

 

[The World Is Flat]

Sc2 on its lowest settings is like wc3 a bit past its highest settings. in 1-2 years most comps will laugh at it. even cheap ones.

 

[WarcraftWillLive]

I believe that Starcraft II, even with its advanced Galaxy Editor, will not live so long as Warcraft III does. As you can see, Warcraft III supports a better fanbase, and offers more of a challenge in Games/Mapmaking compared to Starcraft II!

You've got a point there...

 

[Geazergimli2]

For how much i love both games... im still gonna play Warcaft III, but if people make some really wicked maps on SC2, then i might move there.... but it just ticks me of that they've been working on it for so long, and hardly accomplished much from SC1... sure the graphics are good... but 3 races still??? cmon... they've been working on this for how long?? but anyway... lol ill probably play SC2 still cause SC1 started RTS's for me hehe

 

[SlayerII]

a option ofr " buying sc2 buut staying at both games" is missing.

i mean.. as soon there are enough fanatasy models, i will tottally move to sc2

 

[SasuhKun]

Some say SCII is going to suck good...

 

[Miss_Foxy]

I just hope we'll be able to find a way to make Warcraft III as majority-popular as possible... The games here actually originated from so long ago and it'd be a waste to dump it so suddenly...

 

[WarcraftWillLive]

we could try to make new wc3 projects so people might come

 

[-Kobas-]

Dudes wc3 will never die -.-
SC survived even without good editor all these years...
What if Blizzard in years to come create some kind of patch that will change few stuff in wc3 engine and allow it to use GE created maps -.^ or even better upgrade/fix or whatever WE...

 

[Miss_Foxy]

Thanks for the great spirit You actually could convince Blizzard, because that might actually bring (Tons Of) Players to Warcraft III again... Not to say, if they made Warcraft IV and made an even better World Editor...

Just keep it off Bnet 2.0 lol

 

[Miss_Foxy]

Maybe they should rename Battle.net 2 into... Starcraft's Connection Between Players...

 

[The World Is Flat]

Into, Battlefail.webs.com.

-.-

modding will be fine

 

[Rui]

The problem will still be present. Of course Warcraft III won't lose all of its players, and certainly neither is said so by people who claim that «WC3 will die». It is an exaggerated way of saying that it will lose a significant lot of its players and mod'ders, which is, unfortunately, true.

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Yes, but the more Blizzard screws with modding and bnet on Sc2, the more people won't want to play it, hehe keep digging your own hole Blizz, just keep digging

 

[Vuormalainen]

yes.
look at this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Djy6MMlH6xk&feature=related then at wc3

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

That's not all that impressive, and it's also very possible in Wc3

 

[Miss_Foxy]

I'd actually prefer Warcraft III because of the challenge it provides with the editor... Rather than Blizzard providing everything...
