And what of WC3? I'd kill for an HD remake.
>>
>>344200445
Yes, i'm sure blizzard wants to jam a few more Warcraft games nobody wants to buy into their already bloated line up.

They can make more money with another set of cards in hearthstone, or more skins in Overwatch.

There's no way they would waste that much time on something that won't make any money for them, if you're going to bait at least make it semi-believable

WCII is dank, and WCI was impossible to tolerate after playing it.

Warcraft 2 was my first exposure to the series and it fucking blew me away. Not only was the campaign 10/10 but I spent hundreds of hours in the map editor. So much so that when my old desktop bricked, my dad took it to a repair company, and they let us take home a rental PC to use in the meantime (I watched SO much porn on that thing), and the first thing I did with the rental was install WC2 and get back to work.
>>
I want to say that WC1 was a product of its times, but even then it didn't really play like most RTS games. Having to do shit like buildings HAVE to be built next to roads.
>>
>>344207684
Blizzard was trying to be different. It didn't work very well, but worked enough to launch the series into what it is now.

Maybe you just haven't gone back to it in a long time or you sucked as a kid, but the campaign of 2 is such a bore. The AI is so lazy and will maybe every 10 minutes send 3-4 guys at your base. You never feel like you're in danger and can take as much time as you want. I mean SC1's AI wasn't much better, but at least it was SOMEWHAT aggressive.

Blizz knew the real reason we were playing 2, otherwise they never would have made B.Net Edition to relieve us of working around the bullshit we had to do to get the multiplayer working.

>>344207812
>but worked enough to launch the series into what it is now.

Not really, 2 was what became popular and it was released only a year after 1.

Well here's the whole thing

>Orcs come through a portal

>The orc player kills the chieftan and takes his place
>the humans kill Medihv
>the orcs win the war and sack stormwind

That's it.

>because wc1 had no story

It didn't need one, it came from a purer time in videogames when everything was focused upon the gameplay. And the story it tries to tell is so minimalist that it's basically just window-dressing.

A little frustrating, but it's not that hard to play.

Yeah it does.

And now you have to keep on pretending to love the living reminder of your wife's whoreness

"Barely" doesn't mean it isn't there. It just means that what is there, isn't much.

It's got a lot of story in it though.

What would this alliance tech tree be like, at the start of World of Warcraft, and today in world of warcraft?

Also what would a Quel'Thalas or Khaz Modan tech tree look like?
>>
>>344210443

Not really. Most of it is inconsequential "the orcs are starting shit here, repel them" or "the humans have fortified their position at the town of *insert name here*. Crush them in the Warchief's name!".

Yeah they make it sound important, but that's what a lot of it comes down to. Aside from the ending missions, killing Medihv/Blackhand/Grisela, and saving Lothar, most of it is just filler.
>>
>>344210839
Sounds like a lot of story m8.

Reasoning and backstory for each mission, a map to show where things are going on. Plenty of characters. Manual filled with POV backstory for the game.
Each unit, story and building has a story behind them.
>>
>>344211085

Dune 2 had a fucking story. WC1 had an excuse of a story to justify the different maps.
>>
>>344211248
The game dune doesn't have more of a story than wc1 shown in it.
The books do for sure.
>>
>>344211390

Dune 2, not Dune.

Dune genuinely had 0 story.

Yeah that is what I'm thinking of.

It didn't need to create a story like warcraft 1 did as it relied on an already existing book series.
