Warcraft 3 gamplay demo

[Balefire]

Has anyone seen the demo for the gameplay in Warcraft 3.. what the heck .. it looks like crap.. if i wanted RPG id play Diablo.. where the heck is the stragety and the massive amounts of units.. People keep asking when is War3 coming out, I'm to the point I could not care less if it ever comes out.

So where do you get this demo?

I use to be a Intel fan because that's all I knew about processors. Now I'm an AMD fan because I know all about processors.

you are such a loser, you might want to try responding with something intelligent instead of posting this bloody link on every war3 topic you see

Intelligent.. the movie says it all, apparently you have not seen them. I'm just ticked by the fact that it isnt the game they said it was gonna be but everyone else seems to be drooling over what blizzard is feeding them about trueform and everything.. WHO CARES WHAT A FREAKING GAME LOOKS LIKE.. it isnt all about the eye candy its about GAMEPLAY, and if you were a true gamer you would understand this. There have been hundereds of games that come out and do something new with graphics but the gameplay sucks. The whole point of my post in the last was to get someone to look at the gameplay even if I did not write anything with it.

thanks for the text followup, now isn't that so much better? now i have a flippin clue what you are talking about. And who are you talking about "if you were a true gamer you would understand this", no one ever said all they want is graphics, warcraft has sweet gameplay, it has an innocent tone to it that makes it fun and i wouldn't mind having the same basic game physics with new races and a sweet look added to it.. remember this is a SEQUEL to warcraft II, i want it to be Warcraft, don't you remember war1? they didn't change the gameplay but 2 was still a hit, WC is a cool game and i expect basically the same gameplay w/some improvements

BTW: what kind of changes are you looking for?

i checked your damn movie, where is the reference to TrueForm?
And also in addition to my previous comments to your Gameplay point, OMG, trueform isn't the thing to complain about, with all those units and crap... not only is less coding needed to just simply add truform rather then to add polygons and spend time making all the models better but LAG, it is reduced by using truform because it is all done within the card during T&L, You like massive lag when playing MPlayer, losing a base like 5seconds after it really has been destroyed? is that your idea of gameplay? huh? punk?

As far as the tech goes I could care less, as long as it is smooth. As for gameplay what do i expect. For one, units, units, units, and more units. I can't think of any series that has changed the whole genera of a game mid way through.. they want to make it an rps game and have just a few units. Have you played shogun? now thats units. how cool would it be to command and army and actually feel like you were waging war? 2 i did expect some look and feel like the previous games but on a 3d basis, ground control for example or earth 2150. well ok maybe not 2150 but stil you get the idea about the 3d and terrain and units. From what i've seen so far they are still trying to hang on to their total flop of warcraft adventures game that was never gonna make it. The characters do not even look intimidating, much less like warriors. The cartoony thing they are trying to pull of, maybe they have their reasons, but to me it just doesn't cut it. True if you added 10000 units or just didnt have a limit and based it soley on computer power the lower end of the computer market would not be able to get 100fps. But why not come out and say hey this requires a 1.2ghz with 256mb ram and 1gb hard drive space. We are gonna have to get there eventually and why cant warcraft just step up take a chance and sell to the future. If it required me buying a new computer to play a game like that I'd gladly upgrade or whatever it took. Game makers are trying to supply to too broad a range of computers. Granted i wish all would add Linux and other OS's in their programing, but component wise they are living in the past. What is it like every 8 months or something speed doubles? Why cant requirements move at least on a 12 month basis? Anyway I'm not gonna bicker over it, it may be next year before the game even comes out, but so far it just doesnt look like what I've expected

Dude, have faith in Blizzard. They will create a game that once you play, you won't put it down for 3 years. Promise.

Don't start knocking the game until you've had a chance to play it.

Blizz has NEVER let me down. I doubt they'll start now.

i don't think you are getting it...
warcraft always had a cartoony look to it. The less units not only make it run better (and for goodness sake as i posted in the beginning one of the best ways to add more units and not lose visual quality or performance was truform, but because that is no longer the topic forget it.) Anyway the other point of less units is in battle strategy, instead of just making madd ppl sending em all over to the other base while building the next strike force. If you wan't some game with guns and realism and intimidating creatures you definately need to turn to a different game like risk or something, but i currently like the changes in WC, much more skill in attacks and so on

Look, I've cut you, What a shame

Well first off to say that “who cares what a game looks like” really need to get there head out of there @$$. I’m not saying that looks are everything but they can sure help. If I’m at the beach and see two 350lb chicks walk right bye with G strings on, I’m really not going to like that very much even if there great people. All I’m saying is you need both. Maybe I’m too greedy.
