Anyone remember when Warcraft was a really good RTS Series?

I know nothing of Blizzard or their products, all knowledge comes from the South Park episode, Make Love Not Warcraft. Hehe. I wanna get Starcraft though.

WarCraft 3 is still awesome! I have it on my comp, and even though I don't play it, I love its Map Maker, Story, and Online Play. I may play it again just because this thread...

I do, while WOW is argueably the best MMORPG ever, its still a shame Blizzard seems to think that its popularity and profitability is an excuse to not continue making great RTSs with that universe.

I miss having the story advanced through new RTSs. They were incredible and the story was great. WoW is still good and all, used to play it, but their RTSs were the bomb.

I still play Warcraft III from time to time, and still toy around in the World Editor too. Something tells me that if the custom games list wasn't like it is now, I would be inspired to create a multiplayer map. Whenever I go on Battle.Net, there's usually a very steep chance I won't find anything other than DotA.

Seriously, if there ever is a fourth Warcraft RTS, Blizzard needs to put a limit in place on how many 'DotA' games can be up at one time...

I really hope that Blizzard continues the RTS branch of the franchise though. There have been many attempts in the modding community to create a 'Warcraft IV' using III's engine but generally those fall apart at the seams.

I sure do. I like WoW, don't get me wrong, but I had/have so much fun with WC3. One day, WC4 will come out, and I will cry tears of joy.

Warcraft 3 is pretty much perfect - it'll stand the test of time as it has been doing for a long time. I don't see a rush at all in making a new one when you have an MMO that is just as amazing if not better - you can live in the world that you only were allowed to look down on and the games (well at least 2 and 3) still hold up to this day.
It's really not. Orcish Horde and Humans are practically worthless in multiplayer, because Undead and Night Elves are just monstrously overpowered.

WarCraft in general is amazing, even WoW to a degree (I just hate what it does to people, not so much the game itself) I personally played WCIII and TFT for years after they were released, before DotA killed them anyways.
c'mon... who doesn't like dota?

Played Warcraft II a bit back when it first came out. It's good at what it is, but I'm just not terribly big on RTS's.

I still have Warcraft 3 around here somewhere. I remember loving the world editor, as it was extremely awesome.

I love Warcraft III. I was leery of the whole "hero" thing in Starcraft, so I would leave Kerrigan, Raynor etc. at home in the base while I attacked the enemy because they were so fragile. But WCIII made heroes the center of the action and I loved it.

I hold out hope for WC4 (which would shake things up enough for WoW2) but I don't know if that will happen even in the next decade with all the cash WoW is raking in. Hell, a lot of China doesn't even have WotLK yet, much less Cataclysm; what will happen when they do??

I used to have a hacked WoW account (so I didn't have to pay, I didn't steal any accounts), that game got incredibly boring, incredibly fast.

Warcraft 3, on the other hand, is an epic win game. I don't get the 'remember' part of the title here.
Although, I suppose Starcraft outdoes it, a bit.

Still plays 1-3 so yes I remember them. Would really love a new one but don't think that will ever happen.

It still is? RTS games age well. Starcraft.

And WoW is a very good MMO, too.

Although frankly I've got tired of vanilla warcraft 3 pretty soon (back in 2003 or so). Now, I mostly play DoTA and similar content. I love DOTA!

Yes. And I lost it. Thanks for rubbing it in.

Anyways, I would kill to get Warcraft 3 again, even though I've got Starcraft 2 on pre-order.

And even though I don't care much for WoW, it's pretty fun sometimes. But oh good Gods, I fucking hate Westfall.. *grumblegrumblegrumble*
