Warcraft 3 -> Warcraft 2 Conversion? [WC2 Remake in WC3?]

[Zerox]

Hello everyone. I've heard a lot of people mentioning recreating wc2 with wc3 but I haven't really found anything decent from looking so far. So I was wondering if anyone had succeeded in recreating a melee map or any part/full campaign since I heard discussion of both.

Thanks. So what decent wc2 recreations have you seen?

 

[Dark Master]

don`t know about that. For now, i think not...

 

[Zerox]

Well that sucks. Thanks for replying at least. No one else has said a thing despite my seeing it being talked of elsewhere. +rep for being the only person to reply.

lol why do people make wc3? wc3 is far more better than it ^^

 

[Zerox]

Um when wc2 went to wc3 lots of stuff was lost from melee battles such as sea warfare and many units. Such as the Ogres for the Orcs etc.

That is because of end of the old Horde (Ogres). But now, New Horde (campaign Founding of Durotar) has Orcs, Ogres, Tauren, and Trolls.

 

[Zerox]

All of them were in the horde already except the Tauren.

The new Horde doesn't have Ogres.

The Trolls in the new Horde aren't the same as the ones in the Old Horde.

Actually in the wc3 campaign, the Horde gains the help of the Ogre after Rexxar won an Arena match with the Lord of the Ogres in the area. And upon assaulting Theramore Island, Ogres were in the Horde army.

 

[Dark Master]

The new Horde doesn't have Ogres.

Yes it does.

 

[Linaze]

Indeed it does, in the form of the Stonemaul Clan.

I remember a very good looking campaign, but im not sure it was war2.

I had made some maps from the WC2 Campaigns. I made them multiplayer though. Like the mission where you have to attack Zul'dare. One player controls the orcs on Zul'dare and the other player has the Humans at Hillsbrad. I made the terrain for about 7 maps, but they got deleted.

It's not to hard to recreate WC2 in WC3; it just takes a lot of time. So, if you know how to use the World Editor than it shouldn't be too difficult.

If your looking for Wc2 models, Tauer made a bunch of orcs and there are some others scattered around this website. Other than that; you'll just have to substitute for what you can't find.

Some conversions out there right now are WC2 2nd Generation, but they never finished the Campaign. I didn't really like what they did with the gameplay, but thats just my opinion. I think there is another Wc2 campaign being worked on at the Wc3 campaigns website.

 

[Zerox]

Hmm JimBob what you say has appealed to me. Perhaps you could upload your maps at Warcraft 3 Unlimited if they were rejected here. Another place to share em where I could actually see em.

 

[JimBob]

I'm sorry buddy, but they got deleted a while back. I have thought about making them, but I just don't have the time right now. I got the models I want and everything, but just not the time.

Linaze is making an large campaign about Wc2, with naval warfare, gameplay style equal to Wc2, oil...

Also, you have to try Beyond the Throne: Tides of Darkness map series. The last one, Mystic Isles, has an full AI, naval warfare, ogres, paladins, Death Knights, etc.

There's too many more campaigns and maps about Wc2 scattered though the sites.

 

[Zerox]

Hooray someone who knows about something. Go HFR! Any chance you could give me a link to them or is that asking too much?

 

[HFR]

Ok, here are the Beyond the Throne map series.

Linaze's Canpaign Forum can be found here.

 

[Zerox]

Thank you much HFR.

 

[HFR]

Ok, if you need more maps/forums...
