I haven't bought it, and am wondering if the multi-player mode and the campaign editor will be as good as StarCraft's is.

Warcraft3 revolves around heroes and micro management while SC/BW revolves around macro(send your units into a battle, usually a lot, but don't follow each units actions). It is still enjoyable but the learning curve is very steep. It doesn't help that the 'ladder system' doesn't work to well. It tries to match you with people you're experience level but many people make 'smurf' accounts. Which means they have, for instance, a lvl 22 account but they make a new account (which starts at lvl1) to perfect their record. But if you work at it/just play with friends in custom games, it can be very fun I have no experience with the world editor myself, but if you're referring to UMS maps and the like, there's a whole ton of more options in War3 than SC/BW. With the whole introduction of Heroes makes things interesting. There's some very well made UMS maps out there. Hope this helps

A lot of people never bothered to develop it, though, and so don't realize it was there. If you check out the replays of games between great players, you'll find that they are considered good (and win games) because they are awsome at micro. I was a very good player myself in comparison to the bnet public mainly because I knew how to micro, giving me a serious edge. If you want to say War3 stresses micro more, sure, but sc does not revolve around macro. -Brent "The greatest friend of Truth is time, her greatest enemy is Prejudice, and her constant companion Humility." -Charles Caleb Colton "Be modest!

JonGCR Private Posts: 14 (2/26/04 3:19 pm) Reply	Re: Warcraft III That's true, but if you're first starting out with SC/BW you won't usually use micro all that much. Where as with War3 is necessary even for newcomers to master it asap. I wonder if they made another Starcraft (unlikley in our lifetime) if they would adapt War3's smaller army size and hero system, or keep the old system. Or since Bliz is always to creative they'll think up something we never thought could work :P
SirNukes Cow Master Posts: 2268 (2/28/04 12:00 am) Reply	Re: Warcraft III Ya, something new, like an RPG with RTS elements. Oh, wait, War3 was supposed to be that and Blizzard couldn't pull it off. ...Sorry, I was a little ticked when Blizzard abandoned what I thought was a cool idea. I woulda bought War3 otherwise, most likely. -Brent "The greatest friend of Truth is time, her greatest enemy is Prejudice, and her constant companion Humility." -Charles Caleb Colton "Be modest!

SirNukes Cow Master Posts: 2269 (3/2/04 12:27 am) Reply	Re: Warcraft III It was originally Much more "RPGish." Blizzard scrapped the idea when pretty far into the design. It's kinda like how they scrapped Warcraft Adventures, but that game they weren't able to overhaul. -Brent "The greatest friend of Truth is time, her greatest enemy is Prejudice, and her constant companion Humility." -Charles Caleb Colton "Be modest!
