Posted by michael on from the i'd-rather-be-sailing dept.

Mortin writes "Several reviews of Warcraft 3, set to be released on July 3, are up at Icrontic, Tweakers.com.au, and of course IGN. Looks like Blizzard has yet another killer game on their hands."

    Are you sure it's supposed to be released on July 3? I mean everyone I know has it already.

  2. My review. by The_Shadows · · Score: 5, Funny

    I've been playing the Beta since Spring. It's wonderful. I've got the Special Edition on order from EB. I've got it ordered for one day delivery. I've got.... I've got no life do I?

      Not only that, but you came on Slashdot to tell everyone about it.

      Yeah, you're right, you don't have a life. Of course, I don't either, so I prolly shouldn't be talking... ;-)

  3. I used to like Blizzard, until all the BnetD stuff by danny256 · · Score: 0, Funny

    Now I hate them and I have pirated war 3 and distributed it too all my friends and everyone I know. This will teach blizzard to mess with open source. (Actually it probably won't but at least I got the game for free)

    Slashdot lite

    Wouldn't that present a namespace conflict with the current Slashdot 'lite' mode?

    eh...

    you HAVE watched the cut scenes in WarCraftIII right?
    'You will only get one cinematic clip in the Beginning and End of your Campaign.' I didnt say these were BAD, I just complained that they were fewer.

    If you want to add sea units, I would recommend learning how to code and using the WorldEditor which can supposedly allow you to do anything you wish with the game.
    Well then, I guess I'll just take your advice and start hacking away at the CAMPAIGNS and adding everything I want in the game.

    Well first off there were NO SEA UNITS OF ANY KIND in WarCraftI
    Well, there wasn't ability in Windows 3.1.. but was added in 3.11. If it was taken out in Windows 95, I would have been upset, wouldn't you ?

    I have not yet played the custom games

    No one is forcing you to play this game.
    Agreed, and nor am I playing it anymore. This review was to simply show the FLIP side of the coin. Every review just sucks Blizzards dick without even playing devils advocate. I for one am ready to point out the obvious flaws Blizzard tries to distract you from seeing.

    if you pee on Blizzards doorstep you'll be arrested btw, so I wouldn't do that.
    I am at this moment FedExing both Blizzard and your mom a fresh of warm piss. ENJOY!
