Love it!
Hate it!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WiKDyv55zLg shows some side by side maps reforged vs original
turn off the sound, use scroll to skip to where he shows side by sides
back in 2003 into 2005 i used the WC3 FT world editor to do 4 player and 6 player custom maps. which i submitted to sites, where they tested, inspected using the world editor before being put up for public use or download.
the new maps appear misted, blurred, smoked, shadowed to get rid of old 2003 style graphics rather than actually improve them, to make grass dirt blend into dirt pathways, block roads, etc. in doing so, graphics are worse. trees are not more detailed, they made them worse. its not a matter of nostalgia, or rose tinted glasses because players were playing 2002 WC3 and 2003 WC3FT right up to 2020 WC3 re-release. Blizzard removed the original WC3 from Bnet
there are players out there that have the original WC3 - FT, which can be played without Bnet and offline. maybe they can post some side by side screenshots.

I see the hate-train hit hard again.
Blizzard haters get pathetic day by day.
MMO-Champion Forum
noun
1. a place where people who stopped playing World of Warcraft 10 years ago gather to tell those who still enjoy the game, how bad it is right now.
the haters are nowhere near as annoying as the 'Blizz can do no wrong' bootlickers
I agree.
The only problem I have with that situation is calling haters people who are criticizing Blizzard for serious things, like deleting things that were working fine in previous Wc3(UI, tournaments, custom campaigns etc).
There's a difference between being a hater and being a customer that expect a finished game... or a veteran that hopes nothing will be changed in the game that he played for >15 years.
Fucking haters deleting Wc3:ROC/TFT content, such as clans, better UI, tournaments, custom campaign and also are spreading their FPS-drop machines all over the world!
I hate when they do such a thing!!! Expecting a proper, finished game?????? Delusionals! They wanted their old game to not be broken? Idiots!!!!
They will probably give 5% discounts on the WoW subs.

Not really. "Hate culture" isn't an insult or ad-hominem, it's just a phenomenon. Basically, as you can see in this thread and you yourself did, it's when you try to shut down other people for having a different opinion.
In our case I was explaining to you that it is not accurate to use the term "defender", because a lot of people are nuanced, they like some aspects of the game while agreeing with a lot of the criticism. Even the so-called "defenders", "fanboys", "shills" don't believe the game is perfect.
The Void. A force of infinite hunger. Its whispers have broken the will of dragons... and lured even the titans' own children into madness. Sages and scholars fear the Void. But we understand a truth they do not. That the Void is a power to be harnessed... to be bent by a will strong enough to command it. The Void has shaped us... changed us. But you will become its master. Wield the shadows as a weapon to save our world... and defend the Alliance!
Ever wondered why the Pit lords in Warcraft 3 had beards but lacked those in cinematics and WoW?
Reforged solved that mystery for me.
Nope. Love the new character models, especially Arthas and Tyrande.

You can still play it if you install it of the CDs, but you can only ever patch it to a certain point (avoid modern bnet). Biggest issue is that this point is before they implemented the widescreen mode patch, that only came out as a bnet only patch. You can play it in lan etc, but afaik the old client no longer works for MP via internet.
You are welcome, Metzen. I hope you won't fuck up my underground expansion idea.

Exquisite work, blizzard! Some amateur level shit right here.I've been trying to figure out why the main menu performance on Warcraft 3 Reforged is so bad.
It ends up the whole main menu is a web app running on Chrome.
LE: Seems this was already posted a few pages back, my bad!
