Warcraft 2 remastered is NOT Warcraft 2

Warcraft I & II General Discussion

I am sorry but I played Warcraft 2 a lot with my dad and this “remastered” you released is NOT Warcraft 2 at all. Very sad to see this happening. This remastered is some AI experiment forced by activision management. Remember these are same people who said Warcraft 1 and Warcraft 2 are fosils and should stay dead and won’t be added to Battlenet app. Then they saw how much money wow classic was making and decided all games must now get remaster. They have no passion and dont care what makes these games great, they only want money.

The Starcraft 1 remaster was perfectly done by blizzard and was done with passion, both Starcraft 1 classic and Starcraft 1 remastered combined into one game to keep the community alive. They made Starcraft 1 free and Starcraft 1 remastered optional at a small price tag. But what did they do with Warcraft 2, they did NOT make Warcraft 2 classic free and then decide to release Warcraft 2 remaster as separate game to maximize profits. You completely killed the community by having warcraft 2 classic and warcraft 2 remastered as separate games which totally kills the chances of this being widely popular and played in the future. The remaster is rebuilt from scratch as separate game introducing nightmarish gamebreaking bugs since game was not even tested before released. I don’t understand why you don’t just combine the 2 versions into one game and make Warcraft 2 classic free to play. I am very disappointed.

Starcraft Remastered also had its problems at release, and War2R was possibly made separate from War2 Bnet Edition to prevent War3 Reforged nightmare which destroyed War3 Classic Bnet, from happening again. (like for D2R vs D2 Classic/LoD)

If you think remasters “dont have passion” then you can start taking a look in Mods a couple of guys have been making since like 5-6 years ago already in War2 classic (Combat).

Over 20 mods with actual AI improvements and many quality of life features added up to War2.

Also, widescreen exists on W2 since like 5 years ago already. By fans for fans.

But that content gets very little acknowledgement and advertising, yet its still out there. Just have to check out youtube for that…

Or wargus project, which is about 10 years old and still gets very little attention from people… If talking about passion, of course.

Remember when Blizzard games were made by people who played games? Now it’s just interns managing outsourced nostalgia.
