I've never been the type to get "addicted" to a game so bad that it effects my life lol, but I hear where you're coming from. I'm definately picking this up tomorow since the price is right.

You have definitely missed out good parts of the game but if you still buy it now its pretty cheap and you can still play some pretty good games on it. Many map mackers went away though so there isn't that many variety of custom maps as it use to be. The really popular game out right now in warcraft is dota, some think that dota is what keeping warcraft alive. I would recommend you to buy this if you need to kill some time because I think its a fun game. Warcraft main game, the game they made, is probably what you've tried. There are still many people playing that and if you liked it give it a shot. Unlike WoW you only pay once so I don't see the lost if you dislike it later.

lol'd its still fun for me, even ladder. and to the trash talkers...."i'll smash you"

ladder isn't dead... and dota will be dead soon... dota sucks if you play pubs...

Jsp sucks if you trade with locked people.

How do you play dota? And will I get fucked up if I try it without much experience.

dota is a 5v5 game which contains 2 bases already created which are controlled by cpus. you pick a hero at the beggining of each game and try to farm items and level up in order to destroy the other teams base. you can't rebuild your base so once a building is dead its dead. there are 3 lanes and each lane has 3 towers in it which looks like this BASE - TOWER 1 -----------TOWER 2 --------TOWER 3. each lane has a wave of creeps that spawn every 10-15 seconds or so. if you get the last hit on a creep you obtain gold and experience to lvl up the same goes if you kill a hero or a tower. the object of dota is to farm for good items / exp and to work well as a team to gank and push lanes

heres a picture of the mini map so u can get the general idea of it


of course it takes some time to learn all the heros and all the different items and whats good to get on what hero but you will get used to it pretty quickly

plenty of people still play warcraft 3, if you havnt played the campain its probably worth it just for that, theres definatly still alot of DOTA players out there, but remember there are also dozens of other custom maps, mauls, TDS, and melee maps

D2 still has a smallish following

and i can tell you theres still perhaps a dozen people who play starcraft in my clan alone, along with the occasional D2 or whatnot


if you want a good game, campain wise (good multiplayer too really) then warhammer 40k is pretty good, and you can get the platinum box for $30 (3 games)

okay let me clear up some confusion that is obviously occuring....kids E-rage on warcraft three because there insecure about them selves...it has nothing to do with warcraft, warcraft is just a very demanding game that brings out the bad side of u if you allow it to... if your playing the game for face value it is and always will be a very balanced game thats extremely enjoyable.... your going to be extremely behind in ladder... but ladder is by no means dead....there's still tournys ever night that are extremely competitive and theres a different winner in each... DOTA is also an extremly fun custom game you can play...the kid above me explained it very well...but once again your going to be behind the kids that have played for years.... ive laddered for around 5 years and it seems like all of the good kids have left me =( so im sort of forced to play dota///fps games.... but sorry...long story short warcraft 3 is a classic and always worth picking up....you can play some many different game variants your bound to find one your good at and you enjoy-----just my peace

ok if ur dumb enough to believe that warcraft 3 is a bad game because people e rage than that is just plain retarded...people on the internet no matter what game it is will e rage and its never going to change
