Thoughts? I just had this pop-up when I opened battle.net.

Looks like another grandiose waste of money and time from the sycophants at Blizzard.

I hate it and anyone who has registered.

I’ve already pre-registered.

Same here. To anyone interested, you can pre-register at the following link for “a chance to be included in future beta tests, and to get the latest information about Warcraft Arclight Rumble! Warcraft Arclight Rumble is not yet available on the App Store. Check back soon for updates!”

I used to love Command & Conquer as a kid. That’s what this looks like, to me, but in the Warcraft universe. It’s also free-to-play, which hopefully means it won’t be pay-to-win.

Why not.

But I think HS will be more fun.

I’ll definitely give it a shot. Looks reasonably polished and potentially easier to sit down and kill 5-10 minutes with than HS tends to be.

Doubtful that I’ll invest any money into it, but it might become the mobile side piece that Mercenaries failed to be for me

That’s kinda what I was thinking. It looks like what they should have done with mercenaries.

First thing I noticed is the obvious foreshadowing…

Good catch. I didn’t put two and two together.

so… to me it looks like a bad looking tower defense… honestly there are far better mobile games out there. in terms of looks and gameplay. even from smaller developers. honestly if a giant company releases a mobile game after so many disappointments i expect more. with all the money they have it should look better.

If the PvP is fun, I’m all in. I’ve been playing a lot of Clash Royale.

  • An “Arclight Spanner” is a WoW engineer device needed for the profession
  • Those gals/guys were constructed before game like certain plastic play figurines
  • arm dismemberment gets countered by installing other arms (double entendre)

Feature or just an in-trailer joke?

P.S. I don’t mind the coin grab shown there, it’s a bar scene in the HS bar, which is quite retro, hm? No fancy computers there, just an arcade machine. The four people at 0:55 are Ava (a bit older, or new haircut?) and three patreons of the HS animated shorts.

The original cinematic from 2017 (there are two followups, I think):

PAAAAAASSSSSSSssss. Have fun if you like that sort of thing though.

I was thinking the exact same thing when I saw it.

17

This is Defense of the Ancients on a phone, isn’t it? I still want Warcraft 4.

18

Weird comparison, how does this look at all like command and conquer? Was there some command and conquer phone game your comparing this to?

19

There may be no comparison. It’s been quite a long time. For whatever reason, this reminded me of that.

since isnt that old it cant be command and conquer rivals …which one are you talking about
