Warcraft 1/2 "reforged"

Anyone else hoping that Blizzard adds these campaigns back into the Reforged game?

How about gameplay? Preserved like they were or like WC3?

It would be cool if they did something along the lines of Doom 3 BFG Edition where you can switch to the classic games through the menu and are updated to work on modern OS.

I wouldnā€™t personally want the games changed at all, just better compatibility.

Please do this. I would have loved to play through the original trilogy in order, but even reversed would be great

I too would be excited to see Orcs & Humans and Warcraft 2 remastered under this title. The original title was the first RTS I ever played as a much younger person, and I would be absolutely fascinated all over again to see the story played out in this modern update!

I was thinking the exact same thing. I would absolutely love to be able to replay the war1 and war2 campaigns in war3 reforged. Then i wont have to install a dos simulator to play war1 when i do my annual warcraft campaign run. :wink:

Ermgerd, the dos simulatorā€¦ :cry:

I donā€™t think Beyond the Dark Portal can be preserved to the same difficulty on a new engine, or in 2018 :sweat_smile:

I am definitely hoping they do this, complete with the old artstyles, but with WC3 mechanics. Itā€™d also be great for folks who want to make maps set in those two eras.

I love this thing you guys have going on remasters. Even though I played the first Warcraft: Orcs and Humans game, Warcraft 2 tides of darkness and beyond the dark portal were the titles that got me hook on Warcraft RTS. I absolutely loved Warcraft 2 and would love to see the prior 2 Warcraft titles get reforged as well. If this meets your finicial goals Blizzard please please please make reforges of the other 2 titles especially War2. Would love to see War and War2 made in such a way that would tell the story from its beginnings up to Wacraft 3 Reforged. Thank you for making Warcraft 3 reforge and I will be making my purchase of that soon.

I never played WC2 so having the opportunity to do so in the same style as Reforged would be brilliant. Especially since events from WC2 tie into current WoW content.

WC1 is not a fun game in anyway, even if it were to be upgraded

WC2 is a fun game, but I would say wc2 is much better for its multiplayer, the campaign isnt very goodā€¦ and wc2 doesnt deserve to be changed in anyway, its artstyle is perfect as it is and any sort of changes would be horrible

I want an all new, modern, campaign for wc3 reforged, and it needs to be co-op, I am so not interested in another single player RTS campaign

However, it would be cool to see the original WC2 unit models and artstyle added to the wc3 world editor (similar to what they did with sc2)

I am not sure about WC1 and 2. I would love to see them if at all possible since I didnā€™t really play those as much as I did WCIII. But they are even more antiquated than WC3: Reign of Chaos. They were developed for even older operating systems so I have no idea how much more work they would have to do with the code to get those games running on more modern hardware. I certainly am not a developer so I canā€™t pretend that it would be easy.

If they keep revisiting classic games? There is still hope for a D1/D2 remaster.

Would be interesting to have the Warcraft 1 and 2 campaigns as DLC for WC3:R at some point.

If they do have WC1, I hope they at least change the UI a little. I think I read somewhere that the user needed to first click the unit, then click the ā€œmoveā€ or ā€œattackā€ commands, then click on somewhere on the map. That sounds like a klunky interface to me.

That said, I like the idea of introducing some of the older Warcraft lore; plenty of places in WoW were based off of Warcraft 1 or 2, and seeing where those areas first entered the Warcraft lore could be interesting.

For itā€™s time, both War1 and War2 were amazing games. I remember playing through both of them over and over and enjoying the missions and custom matches, and I still go back and replay the campaigns. So ā€˜not funā€™ is just an opinion.

With that being said, I do want to see war1 and war2 lore through campaigns in War3 Reforged, but obviously the missions would need to be made much more modern to feel fun to people.

But lets revisit this idea after the inevitable amazingly successful launch of the game next year, and the game is in a stable place for the team to start thinking about this kind of thing (provided they donā€™t just move on to the next remaster title). :slight_smile:

If the campaigns of War1, War2 and War3 are included, I will buy it in a heartbeat. For only War3, I will pass my turn.

I will love to play back old War1 and War2. But only if Blizzard will do something with balance.
War2 after Dark Portal was HELL.

Iā€™d love a WC1/2 Remaster as an optional DLC for this game, however itā€™ll need an easier difficulty option as WC1 and certain parts of WC2 had massive balance issues XD
